Looking for a new computer? Amazon is jumping the gun on Prime Day with deep discounts on highly-rated portables from top brands. Now is the best time this summer to make that upgrade.

At $149 off (thanks to an on-page coupon), the 13-inch Air with 256GB of storage offers an especially good value. It's a price point that might be bested come Prime Day, but we could also see it staying in the same range — it's that good. Plus, it helps offset the disappointment that this laptop tops off at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Prime Day 2025 is two weeks away, but there are plenty of bargains in effect now thanks to month-end price wars between Apple resellers.
