During Amazon Prime Day Prime subscribers can take advantage of savings. To take advantage of the deals you will need Amazon Prime (which costs $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 a month but can be canceled after 30 days). If you don’t already have a Prime membership, you can sign up for the free 30-day trial and still take advantage of the deals.

At $149 off (thanks to an on-page coupon), the 13-inch Air with 256GB of storage offers an especially good value. It's a price point that might be bested come Prime Day, but we could also see it staying in the same range — it's that good. Plus, it helps offset the disappointment that this laptop tops off at a 60Hz refresh rate.
