Amazon has solid discounts on laptops that are still available during the final day of its four-day Prime Day sales event. One of the nice things about shopping during Prime Day, even if you don’t have the requisite Prime subscription, is that Best Buy and others often follow suit with their own competing deals.
As is typical, we found deals on models The Verge swears by — many of which should treat you well for years to come. A laptop purchase is extra tricky because it’s usually a multipurpose machine for a wide range of people with specific needs; however, if you know where to look, there are still excellent options available, even as Prime Day draws to a close.

They’re among the best laptops you can buy for just $849 and $1,049, respectively. The 13-inch was recently $50 cheaper, but the 15-inch is matching its all-time low.
