Score Up to $495 Off Your Next Laptop and More With Acer’s October Prime Day Discounts

Amazon’s big October Prime Day event is here, bringing discounts on everything from everyday essentials to big-ticket appliances. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your laptop or monitor but waiting for the right moment, now’s the time.

Acer has cut prices on a bunch of great products, with up to $495 off on some devices. Whether you need a workhorse for your job, a decked-out gaming laptop or monitor to chase those frame rates or an everyday machine, you can find a deal from Acer right now. The biggest discount is on the Acer Swift X 14 thin and light creator laptop, which is down to $1,000 at Amazon for the RTX 4060 version — a whopping $495 discount.

Our Acer Swift X 14 review called it a great pick for those who need an OLED ultraportable, making this one of the best October Prime Day laptop deals. You get an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and a stunning 14.5-inch OLED display with 2,880 x 1,800 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. That means pretty powerful hardware that can handle creative workloads with ease.

I’ve been covering computers for over a decade and can attest that Acer has been a consistently good brand. It makes some of the coolest computers and accessories out there. Not only that, Acer’s products are oftentimes some of the best-priced options on the market, and this sale brings those already reasonable prices even lower.

But that’s not the only good deal from Acer right now. You can also get the Acer Aspire 14 AI for $500 at Amazon, down from $830, saving you $330. It comes with a well-balanced spec sheet which includes the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor with Intel ARC 130V graphics, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512GB SSD storage. The thin and lightweight Swift Go 14 is also down to $700 at Amazon from its original $900, and it offers an AMD’s Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD storage and a gorgeous 14-inch touchscreen.

Why this deal matters

Acer is generally known for offering more affordable options compared to other brands, so seeing heavy discounts like this is pretty uncommon. Plus, shopping these deals now means you can skip the holiday season rush and potential stock shortages that typically hit in November and December.
