When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
It’s on right now! Amazon Prime Day is taking place from 00:01 Tuesday 12 July to 23:59 Wednesday 13 July this year.
This is a return to form for the annual sale, which in recent years has landed in October and June as the pandemic threw a spanner in the works.
However, it’s worth noting that Amazon has never unveiled Prime Day deals this early – they started dropping from 21 June – meaning we found ourselves in uncharted territory when it came to pre-event offers this year.
Is Amazon hosting two Prime Day events this year?
Amazon is rumoured to be planning a second major sales event on the scale of Prime Day later this year. According to leaked internal messages seen by Business Insider, the retail giant is reportedly inviting third-party sellers to submit deals for a “Prime Fall Deal Event”. If the second sale goes ahead, it would be the first time Amazon has hosted two Prime Day style events in a single year. Invited sellers suggest that the follow-up Prime Day appears to be scheduled for October.
How to get the best Amazon Prime Day laptop deals
To stay in the loop about all of the best laptop deals on Prime Day, bookmark this page and check back in with us throughout the day. We’ll be regularly updating all of our Prime Day 2022 guides with the latest deals and insights into everything from Apple Watches and earbuds to air fryers and robot vacuum cleaners.
Our team of IndyBest shopping experts are also running a liveblog across the two-day event, to bring you live reports on lightning deals and hot ticket items before they sell out.
Be sure to check different configurations too. As stock levels can be all over the place during the sale, Amazon doesn’t always discount laptops in an intuitive way. A laptop with more RAM or a larger SSD can sometimes be cheaper than the lower-spec model.
Finally, head over to our list of the best laptops of 2022 to get to grips with the devices you should be looking out for. A big discount on any one of these devices would be a valuable find, and you’ll be certain to come away with a laptop you’ll love.
