Are you on the hunt for laptop deals this Prime Day? And, are you, like Best Buy, tired of Amazon stealing the show? If so, we highly recommend you check out Best Buy's rival prime-day offerings on laptops right now, which range all the way from cheap and cheerful budget offerings to wildly powerful premium ultrabooks.

Our personal favorite is an eye-watering $500 saving on a 2020 HP Spectre X360, going for just $1,099.99 right now. That's a huge price cut on a brand new machine rocking a gorgeous near bezel-less 4K display, Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, specs that will easily challenge the best MacBook Pro's and XPS 13's out there.

Looking for something cheaper? How about a laptop deal where the total savings are, in fact, more than the sale price of the machine. This Lenovo IdeaPad 1, for example, is just $99 right now - down all the way from $299. Sure, it's not quite the same level as the HP Spectre, but we haven't seen Amazon offer a laptop deal this cheap anywhere today.

These, of course, are just two extreme examples of today's offerings. Down below, you'll find a quick roundup of what's available, including plenty more budget, mid-tier, and premium options with similar great savings. 

These laptop deals from Best Buy are themselves, in fact, a sneak peek at the upcoming Black Friday sale in November. Are they the best prices we'll see all year? There's a very high chance that's the case, and they're definitely worth taking note of. Also recommended is our main Amazon Prime Day hub page, where you'll find laptop deals and more from....the other guys.
