Prime Day Brings the Price of My Favorite Windows Laptop Down to a Record Low

Prime Day Brings the Price of My Favorite Windows Laptop Down to a Record Low

CNET5 days ago
Prime Day, Amazon's annual summer sales event, will run from July 8 to 11 this year, but we're already seeing some dramatic price cuts across a variety of categories. That includes some big sales from Amazon's competitors -- like Walmart and Best Buy -- who are attempting to counter Prime Day with some impressive offers of their own.
When it comes to the Microsoft Surface laptop, one of our favorite Windows laptops on the market, Amazon is taking the prize today for best offer. You can get the latest 2025 version of the Microsoft Surface laptop 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD for $800 right now. That's $100 off this top performing laptop's typical price and the lowest price we've seen.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
If you want a bit more storage, you can also pick up the same laptop with 512GB of storage for $900. That's also a record low price.
In his roundup of the best laptops of 2025, CNET senior editor Matt Elliott called the Microsoft Surface 7 the best Windows laptop, citing the polished design and battery life as chief selling points. "The Surface Laptop 7 ran for nearly 20 hours in testing -- that's the longest of any 13- or 14-inch laptop I've ever tested -- including the M4 MacBook Air," Elliott writes.
This offer is not for the exact 7th edition Elliott reviewed, which was released in 2024, but rather a newer version released this year with nearly identical specs. It offers Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus 8 Core processors, delivering fast performance and power. You also get a touchscreen, haptic touchpad, and two USB-C ports.
If you're on the hunt for a monitor to go with this, check out this 27-inch HP monitor down to just $120. Not sure if this is the laptop for you? We're keeping an eye on the latest Prime Day laptop deals as well.

Why this deal matters
We don't see this laptop go on sale too often, and when it does it's not usually a significant price cut. Saving $100 on either configuration (256GB or 512GB) is a rare discount. While this is still a spendier laptop, if you're in the market for a reliable Windows laptop that rivals Apple's M4 Macbook Air, this is the laptop for you. Just remember, Prime Day brings big savings but they're fleeting and items can go in and out of stock rapidly. For that reason, if you want it, get it while you can.

These last-minute Prime Day deals are still expensive, but they're up to 53% off their regular prices: Apple AirPods, Dyson Airwrap & more

We're in the final hours of Amazon Prime Day 2025, and if you're looking to save on big-ticket items, you have until 11:59 p.m. PST tonight (Friday, July 11) to take advantage of the deals. Prime Day is a phenomenal opportunity to save on brand-name tech, home and kitchen appliances, beauty products and other goods that rarely go on sale. If you're working with a small budget, there are, of course, a ton of cheap deals available (these are all under $25, for example), but Prime Day is especially handy if you want to save $100s — or even $1,000s — on higher-priced items. Below, we've listed some of the sale's best deals on high-ticket items, including Apple AirPods and Apple Watches, Bose headphones, Oral-B electric toothbrushes and more. These items are unlikely to go on sale again anytime soon, so if you're not willing to wait until Black Friday or Boxing Day, now may be the time to take the plunge — just remember, Prime Day requires an Amazon Prime membership.

It comes with four silicone tips that help you achieve a secure and comfortable fit, while also keeping sound in and external noise out. The AirPods resist dust, sweat and water, making them suitable for sweaty workouts or outdoor activities while also providing intelligent noise control. It also features an H2 chip, which provides deep, immersive sound with rich bass and overall improved definition. The Apple Watch Series 10 is an on-the-go command centre for calls and texts, Apple Pay and dozens of health and fitness metrics. The watch measures your blood oxygen levels, takes an ECG, tracks your sleep stages and offers the same spot-on calorie and heart rate monitoring that you've come to expect from Apple devices. One of the biggest draws of the updated PlayStation 5 Slim Console is that it offers all the same features, now in a slimmer system. What was once an arguably valid complaint of bulkiness has turned into a roughly 30 per cent cut in size for the disc version. For those who opt for the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition Console, which lacks a disc drive and only lets users play digital games, that size difference is even larger. The Apple AirPods Max feature personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for surround-like sound and pro-level noise-cancellation to remove unwanted noise, making them a fantastic option for air travel, commuting and office work. This smart TV features a stunning 4K Quantum Dot Display (QLED), Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, bringing brighter, richer and more lifelike visuals to your favourite TV shows, sports, games and movies.

With the Fire TV Ambient Experience, shoppers can display art, photos and more when not actively watching TV. When it's time to watch your favourite show, users can stream more than 700,000 movies and TV episodes with subscriptions to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more. The Beats Studio Pro over-ear headphones feature fully adaptive active noise cancelling (pure ANC) technology, which actively blocks unwanted external noises such as airplane sounds, noisy office neighbours and outside traffic. The headphones feature Class 1 Bluetooth for exceptional wireless connectivity. Their rechargeable battery offers up to 40 hours of battery life and up to 24 hours of listening time when ANC or Transparency Mode is enabled. Studio Pro headphones easily connect to Android and Apple devices right out of the box and are comfortable for all-day wear. Multifunction on-ear controls can take calls, control music and activate Siri when you need a hand. This top-rated QLED 4K UHD smart TV features Dolby Vision IQ, 144Hz gaming mode, Ambient Experience and is capable of hands-free functioning with Alexa. If you want headphones that look and feel luxe, you need Bose's QuietComfort Ultra wireless style in limited edition deep plum. They're functional, too, with a wide range of custom listening modes, touch controls and 24 hours of battery life. Immersive mode is "like being inside of your own little bubble," says one customer. Another perk? "Music or video instantly pauses" when you remove the Ninja Foodi 10 air fryer features two five-quart baskets that allow you to prepare your favourite foods at the same time. The air fryer's Smart Finish system allows you to prepare foods on different temperatures to finish at the same time or cook both baskets at the same settings using the Match Cook feature.

Brew no-guesswork espresso and drip coffee with this popular 2-in-1 unit.
