Welcome to day 2 of this delicious live blog. TechRadar’s computer team admirably helped thousands of people buy a new laptop yesterday, and I’m leading the efforts to do the same on the second day of Prime Day.
Yes I agree. Why is it still called Prime Day when it is now over 72 hours?

Grab a Microsoft Surface Pro X for just £ 669

We covered it on our Prime Day live offer blog, but it’s so weird I thought I should get in here too.
Plus, it’s the only deal that’s been launched on a laptop today, so I thought it would probably be worth sharing, even if you spot that Surface Pro X comes with a Qualcomm chipset.
Note that this doesn’t come with the signature keyboard, so you’ll have to buy it separately (and it drops to £ 104 on Prime Day sales), but this laptop / tablet is designed to include a similar battery to a smartphone, and we detected that it manages about 9 hours in testing.

The new Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is now on sale for $ 1,050 on Amazon

If you have cash for this Amazon Prime Day, take a look. Samsung only launched the Galaxy Book2 Pro a few months ago, and it already has a $ 300 discount for its cheapest price ever.
As I pointed out in my review, this Windows 11 laptop delivers first-rate performance in a very slim package thanks to its 12th-generation Intel i7 “Alder Lake” CPU and 16GB of RAM. The screen is also a big plus; a tiny bezel and a bright AMOLED panel make the colors surprisingly vibrant. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone (or any other Galaxy product), you can take advantage of the “Galaxy Ecosystem” features to sync your devices seamlessly.

One for our UK readers, now; this isn’t a Prime Day offer, but Very.co.uk has a decent discount on the MacBook Air’s M1 2020 model right now, if you’re looking for a good … valuable Apple laptop. The M1 chip is a true power plant, which makes MacOS run smoothly like butter and explode through demanding workloads.
There are a few models available, so the exact discounts vary, but you can save up to £ 104 here, and if you take advantage of the now-paid purchase scheme later from Very, you can get an additional 10% cash back once you’re done. I paid for it, increasing your savings.

MSI makes a lot of fantastic laptops with some solid deals right now, but we wanted to highlight this Prestige 14, on sale for Prime Day UK today. It is a versatile laptop ideal for students or professionals thanks to its RTX graphics card and 512 GB of storage.
This is the laptop to buy if you want to do everything: office work, content creation, project design, web browsing, games, and more. As an added bonus, Windows 11 and Microsoft Office 365 are included with the MSI Prestige 14, so you can start working or playing right out of the box.

The Asus VivoBook S14 lives up to its name, with a 1080p display that offers stunningly vivid color reproduction and deep, crisp blacks. Both the “Dreamy White” and “Indie Black” models are available for $ 560 this Prime Day, officially the cheapest price ever sold.
A slim, lightweight laptop with a long-lasting battery and solid, versatile performance thanks to its Intel Core i5 processor, the VivoBook S14 is an easy recommendation. This is actually a Windows 10 laptop, if you’re not ready to switch to Microsoft’s newest operating system yet, but you can get a free Windows 11 update whenever you want.

Make no mistake: at $ 2,550 (starting at $ 3,000), this is still a very expensive gaming laptop, even with a few hundred dollars discounted in price. But you get what you pay for, and the Acer Predator Triton 500 Special Edition is a scaled-down version of Acer’s already powerful Triton 500 that doesn’t sacrifice a drop of power.
So we have the latest 14-core Intel Core i9 processor, a superpowered RTX 3080 Ti graphics card and 32GB of RAM that deliver top-of-the-line gaming performance of 1600p. This is an extreme laptop for gamers and content creators who don’t want to skimp on spending for the best hardware that money can buy.

From stupidly expensive to stupidly cheap, the Asus VivoBook Go 12 boils down to just $ 170 for Amazon Prime Day – a $ 80 discount, the cheapest ever sold by this little laptop .
Sure, it’s a far cry from the powerful creators ’laptops, but if all you need is a compact laptop to answer emails and make video calls, the VivoBook Go 12 can handle it. Given that right now is the price of a cheap Chromebook, this is the perfect choice for someone who wants a cheap laptop but doesn’t want to learn how to use a new operating system. Windows users rejoice!
