We've covered a wide range of gaming laptops and other laptop Prime Day deals – and I've found plenty of devices that are also suitable for students heading back to school after the summer holiday.

Yes, I know, it's early. However, it's better to be ahead of the curve, especially when Amazon Prime Day deals are hitting the internet at the moment – so students, what better time is there than now to take a look at ideal laptops suitable for your eventual return to school?

To kick things off, the Acer Swift 14 AI is available for $799.99 (previously $1,049.99) on Amazon in the US, thanks to a huge 24% discount. With a 14.5-inch 2.5K display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus 10-core processor, and a 1TB SSD, studying and working on the go is a breeze.

Taking it up a step further, the Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition is available for $1,059.99 (previously $1,299.99) on Amazon in the US, for a limited-time deal. It caters to those who want a powerful laptop using Intel's Core Ultra 7 256V processor. Portability is key with up to 17 hours of battery, and an immersive OLED screen.

If you're on a budget, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x is available for £449.99 (previously £498.68) on Amazon in the UK, and should be perfect for most students' needs. It's possibly the cheapest OLED laptop you'll find during Amazon Prime Day, packing enough power to get you through study days.
