Amazon's October Prime Day has landed, and with it comes a bunch of competing sales from major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and Newegg. That's great news for shoppers who need a new PC, as there's clearly a big focus on discounted laptops this year.

The combination of my covering these types of sales events since they began as well as my everyday focus on PC coverage for Windows Central puts me in a good position to find only the best laptop deals that are worth a recommendation. 

Whether you need something scraping the bottom of the bargain category or a high-end PC that will last for the foreseeable future, I've curated this list of the best October Prime Day laptop deals from all retailers.
