It doesn't take much to play games these days. Phone, console, PC or handheld are all viable options. But why play using the bare minimum when you can upgrade your setup on the cheap by snagging a deal or two during Amazon Prime Day.

As Amazon gears up for its annual members-only sale from July 8 to 11, the retail giant has Apple's latest 13-incher marked down to only $849 ( in all colorways, too ). That's $150 off the M4 MacBook Air's already modest MSRP of $999, which is a hefty discount for a popular laptop that only just came out in March.

These are the best Prime Day laptop deals our editors have found so far, including discounts on top-rated models from Apple, Lenovo, Dell, Samsung and more.
