In the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's " October Prime Day " sale on Oct. 8 and 9, the retail giant isn't offering a ton of great deals on 2-in-1 machines — but that's no surprise. During such sitewide sales, Amazon usually saves its best laptop deals for the exact windows of the event, forcing eager shoppers to be patient.

PCs are some of our favorite things (it's in our name after all), which is why we're so excited to track down these early Prime Big Deal Days discounts and save you $$$ on a new configuration!

It appears that Walmart's October Prime Day rival event is available for US shoppers at Walmart.com or in the Walmart app. You can always check in at your regional Walmart website, but if you're outside of the US, your best bet might be to shop at Amazon. Its sales event is going live in 18 countries.
