Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days are live — and they’re not just for phones and TVs. Laptop deals dominate the front page, with the Asus Vivobook 14 at $899 (down $100), the HP OmniBook 3 at $629, and both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air M5 models discounted by $200.
The Dell 15 sits at $749 with a 13th-gen Core i5, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. The Acer Aspire Go 15 starts at $399. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is $429 with a 500GB portable HDD included. All are listed on Amazon US as of 6 October 2026, with the sale running through 7 October.
No Indian or UK pricing appears in the reporting, only US dollar figures, all shipped and final. Logitech accessories are also marked down: the G309 Lightspeed mouse from $9.99, the MX Master 3S at a discount versus the MX Master 4, and the MX Creative Console now available with nine programmable keys and a control dial for Adobe, Zoom, and Spotify.
Anker chargers and power banks are up to 50% off. Best Buy has launched its own parallel ‘Techtober’ sale, but no specific prices or SKUs are given for that event. These are not flash drops or limited-quantity exclusives. They’re live, site-wide markdowns tied explicitly to Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days.
That name matters: this isn’t ‘Prime Day’, which ran in July. This is the second major Prime event of 2026, branded separately and timed to the back-to-school and holiday ramp-up. The timing lines up with real pressure points: Tom’s Guide notes the ongoing RAM crisis, calling this a rare window to buy memory-heavy machines like the Vivobook 14, which packs 40GB RAM and 1.5TB total storage for under $1,000.
That spec sheet would’ve been unthinkable at that price even six months ago. MacBook Neo is listed at $100 above its original price. Not discounted, but still positioned as ‘great-value’ due to build, display, and A18 Pro performance. No battery life figure is cited, only ‘stellar’.
The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 models appear at full configuration pricing: 16GB/512GB for the 14-inch, M5 Pro chip and Liquid Retina XDR for the 16-inch. Neither is marked down, their inclusion reflects availability, not discounting. Nothing here is new hardware. No launches.
No leaks. Just live, verified, US-only deals. Some sharp, some modest, all active now and expiring Thursday. Next: watch for updates from Tom’s Guide, which says it will refresh its list as more offers go live.
