Update
Welcome to day 2 of this delicious live blog. ‘s computing team helped thousands of people buy a new laptop yesterday, and I’m leading the effort to do the same on the second day of Prime Day.
Yes I agree. Why is it still called Prime Day when it’s now over 72 hours?
Grab a Microsoft Surface Pro X for just £669
We covered this on our main Prime Day deals blog, but it’s so weird I thought I should come here too.
Plus, it’s the only deal that’s launched on a laptop today, so I thought it was probably worth sharing – although I realize the Surface Pro X comes with a Qualcomm chipset.
Please note that this does not come with the signature keyboard, so you will need to buy it separately (and dropped to £104 in Prime Day sales) – but this laptop/tablet is designed to charge a smartphone-like battery, and we found it manages around 9 hours in testing.
The new Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is now on sale for $1,050 on Amazon
If you’ve got some cash to spend this Amazon Prime Day, take a look at this. Samsung launched the Galaxy Book2 Pro just a few months ago, and it’s already discounted $300 for the cheapest price ever.
As I noted in my review, this Windows 11 laptop offers top-notch performance in a super-thin package, thanks to the 12th Gen Intel i7 ‘Alder Lake’ CPU and 16GB of RAM. The screen is also a big plus; a tiny bezel and bright AMOLED panel make the colors incredibly vibrant. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone (or any other Galaxy product), you can take advantage of the ‘Galaxy Ecosystem’ features to sync your devices with ease.
