Need a new Mac? This Prime Day is the best time to buy one

Macworld

Are you wondering if Macs are on sale for Prime Day? The good news is, yes, some Macs are being discounted during Amazon Prime Day – which runs from just after midnight July 16 to midnight July 17. In our experience you can get discounts on Macs all year round, but, some of the best Mac discounts fall during Amazon’s sales.

The Amazon Prime Day sale is a great time way to save some money when buying a new Mac. The July sale comes at a time when you might be shopping for back-to-school, but whatever your reason for looking for a bargain, Prime Day can bring a good Mac deal.

Below you will find links to the different types of Mac desktops available on Amazon, so it will be easy to find the best deals. If you aren’t sure which Mac to buy read our Mac buying guide where we compare every Mac and MacBook.

During the 48 hours of Amazon July Prime Deals Day we will be tracking the sales, so be sure to check this page often as the deals change all the time.

We also have a round-up of all the Apple Amazon Prime Day deals.
