Prime Big Deals Days is officially here, and with all the epic deals we've seen so far, it's safe to say this one of the best sales events to pick up a new laptop.

If you're looking for a laptop running the latest Windows 11 Home OS that's equipped with a 1080p touchscreen at a budget-friendly price, we've got three stellar deals for you.

All three of these laptops are under $500 and packed with a great set of specs, but my personal favorite is the Acer Aspire 3 for just $429, featuring an AMD Ryzen 5 7520U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. That's a laptop that could handle my tab-hoarding tendencies with ease and even run cozy games like Stardew Valley natively.

If you want to see all the laptop deals we've found or get a head start on your holiday shopping with deals on other tech, check out all the best October Prime Day deals we've rounded up so far.
