Update, 7:35pm ET, Wednesday, Oct. 7: We rechecked every price on Amazon this evening. Several laptop and tablet prices moved, and nine listings came out because they no longer showed a discount.

Prime Big Deal Days ends at 2:59am ET Thursday, which leaves tonight for anything on this list. The Microsoft Surface Laptop (2026) leads the laptops at $1,329.97, $370 under its $1,699.99 list price, and Amazon prices it that way for Prime members only. Apple’s MacBook Air M5 is $1,099 and the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is $499, and neither carries a Prime requirement. Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 is $384.99 without a Prime badge, and the monitors further down run from a $99.99 Samsung to a $799.99 ultrawide.

A Snapdragon X2 Elite touchscreen laptop, for Prime members

A 13.8-inch touchscreen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite chip, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD are what $1,329.97 buys in the 2026 Surface Laptop. That’s $370 off its $1,699.99 list price, and the listing rates the battery for up to 20 hours of video playback. Snapdragon machines run the Arm version of Windows 11, so check that any older software you rely on runs on Arm.

Microsoft Surface Pro (2026): $1,599.99 (was $2,099.99)

Microsoft Surface Pro (2026) $1,599.99 (was $2,099.99)

Microsoft’s Surface Pro (2026) pairs a 13-inch OLED screen with the same Snapdragon X2 Elite chip, plus 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage, according to the listing. At $1,599.99 it’s $500 off its $2,099.99 list price.

Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6: $384.99 (was $599.99)

A QD-OLED gaming monitor, no Prime required

OLED pixels switch off completely to create intense black levels, which is the reason to pick the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 (G61SH) over the IPS monitors further down. It’s $384.99, $215 under its list price, and Amazon’s listing flags it as the lowest price in 30 days. Samsung’s listing calls it a QD-OLED panel at QHD (1440p) with a 240Hz refresh rate.

Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C: $189.99 (was $329.99)

Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C $189.99 (was $329.99)

A curved QHD gaming monitor, for Prime members


See It

A 32-inch QHD gaming screen for under $200 is a solid deal. The Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C fits that description at $189.99, $140 under its list price. Samsung lists a 1000R curve, so the edges of a screen this wide turn back toward your eyes at desk distance. QHD is 2560 x 1440, a real step up in sharpness from a 1080p panel at 32 inches.

Laptop deals

The Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition is $999.99 with a 14-inch OLED screen and Intel’s Core Ultra 7 256V, and the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is $1,699.99 with an RTX 5070 and 32GB of memory. The MSI Cyborg 17 listing shows a delivery window of Oct. 20 to Nov. 4.

Apple deals

Both Apple deals are open to everyone. Each MacBook Air M5 color is its own listing on Amazon, so recheck the price if you switch from Midnight.

Tablet deals

Lenovo’s three Idea Tab deals come with a pen and a folio case, and the 12.7-inch Idea Tab Pro is the largest of them at $292.99.

Monitor deals

The Dell 27 Plus S2725DSM is $161.49 for a 27-inch QHD panel at 144Hz, and the AOC Q27G41ZE is $135.99 for QHD at 260Hz. The MSI MAG 274QP QD-OLED is $349.99 and doesn’t need Prime.

Desktop and all-in-one deals

HP’s OmniStudio 27-inch all-in-one with a Ryzen AI 7 is $999.99, $310 under its list price, and the iBUYPOWER Element gaming PC is $1,899.99 with a Ryzen 9 7900X.

Prime Big Deal Days laptop, tablet and monitor deals FAQ

Yes. The MacBook Air M5 13-inch with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage is $1,099, $200 off its $1,299 list price, and you don’t need Prime for it.

Which monitors have the biggest discounts?

Do you need Prime to get these deals?

Not for all of them. The MacBook Air M5, iPad mini (A17 Pro), Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 and MSI MAG 274QP didn’t show a Prime-only price when we checked Wednesday evening, and Amazon lists the other laptop, tablet, monitor and desktop deals here as Prime member prices. A free 30-day Prime trial covers the sale.

When do the Prime Big Deal Days laptop and monitor deals end?

Prime Big Deal Days ends at 2:59am ET on Thursday, October 8. The Surface Laptop (2026) and most of the other deals here carried an Amazon countdown timer when we checked Wednesday evening, but the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 listing showed no end time.

Should I buy a laptop now or wait for Black Friday?

The Surface Laptop (2026) is $1,329.97 on Amazon right now, $370 under its $1,699.99 list price, and that Prime member price runs only through the end of Prime Big Deal Days at 2:59am ET Thursday.
