In the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's " October Prime Day " sale on Oct. 8 and 9, the retail giant isn't offering a ton of great deals on 2-in-1 machines — but that's no surprise. During such sitewide sales, Amazon usually saves its best laptop deals for the exact windows of the event, forcing eager shoppers to be patient.

Early Amazon Prime Day laptop deals are already live ahead of the retailer's massive two-day fall sale. Right now, you can save on everything from super cheap Chromebooks to high-end Windows Ultrabooks with excellent price cuts across a wide range of machines. Put simply, it's a great time to be shopping for a brand-new laptop.
