TL;DR: Save on Intel-based laptops during the Prime Early Access Sale and get your holiday shopping started a little bit early.
Work has already kicked into high gear, the semester is in full swing, and perhaps you’re still making due with tech that could use a refresh. If you’ve been holding off buying a new laptop because the holiday sales are only a few weeks away, then here’s a hot tip: Treat yourself to the Intel-based laptop you need now to get through the busiest time of the year.
For two days, Amazon is having its first-ever Prime Early Access Sale. From Oct. 11 to 12, Prime members can shop for holiday-style discounts, including savings on select Intel laptops. With tons of deals, it’s a lot to unpack. Here are a few highlights.
Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK Slim Laptop (save $85)
This budget-friendly laptop looks a lot sleeker than its price tag suggests thanks to a slim, all-metal chassis measuring less than an inch, and a powerful 11th Generation Intel Core i3 processor. The ergonomic hinge does double-duty, making note-taking a breeze on video calls and keeping your machine cool. For more space to work and watch, there are narrow bezels on the screen and the dual-band Wi-Fi 6 speeds up browsing and streaming.

Go ahead and take the cushy window seat at the café. Now you don’t have to choose between sweet sunshine and productivity. The antiglare, 14-inch screen of this lightweight laptop delivers stunning visuals even in bright light. It has a quad-core, Intel Celeron processor for all-day performance and up to 14 hours of battery life, as well as fast-charging tech to go from zero to 50% in about 45 minutes.
