Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is locked in for a start on October 8, and it only lasts two days to wrap up at the end of October 9. It's the next best thing to Black Friday and Cyber Monday events coming in November, and the deals have, in fact, already begun.

Some of the best AI PCs and the best Copilot+ PCs on the market are enjoying massive discounts in the weeks leading up to Prime Big Deal Days, and you can likely find the right PC for hundreds of dollars less than you'd typically pay.

These AI PCs all have a processor (CPU) or System-on-Chip (SoC) with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for local AI acceleration, and we've tested and reviewed the majority of them to ensure they're worth your money. I'll keep this list updated as we head into October Prime Day, so be sure to check back if you don't see anything today.
