The clock is ticking – these Amazon Prime Day Chromebook & MacBook deals could whisk you away from Windows 10's inevitable death

It's no secret that Microsoft's Windows 11 will be fully replacing Windows 10, with support officially ending this October. We're now in the final stretch of Amazon Prime Day, and that means it's your last chance to grab these Chromebook and MacBook laptop deals.

No operating system comes without any faults, but Microsoft's Windows 11 (which you'll essentially be forced to switch to) has been a thorn in many users' sides (including mine) with a plethora of bugs and issues across the board.

If you're brave enough to make the swap, a new operating system could be a breath of fresh air, and it comes down to what you intend to use the hardware for. If you're a gamer, any Linux/SteamOS-powered system or a MacBook (with the latest M-series chips) is the way to go. However, if you're looking to acquire a laptop that caters to productivity, then you've come at the perfect time.

Similar to the steep discounts you'll see below, a highlight here for me is the Apple MacBook Air M2, which is available for $699 (previously $799) on Best Buy. It's not exactly an exclusive Amazon Prime Day deal, but it's worth noting considering its power for play and work, using the powerful M2 chip.

If you're on a budget and looking for something more affordable, then the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is available at $322.88 (previously $399.99) on Amazon in the US.

That's not all, though, as there are a handful of other deals I've rounded up for the US and UK during this year's Prime Day sales event. Need a deep dive on which laptops to opt for? Then check out our guides on the best laptops, best MacBooks, and best Chromebooks.
