The new year is upon us, and if you're thinking your laptop might not be cut out for another 12 months of creative work, now's the time to upgrade because there are big laptop deals in the Amazon after-Christmas sale. Right now you can save $150 on this year's M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of memory and up to $500 on an Asus Vivobook Pro with Nvidia graphics.

I've picked through the Amazon Winter Sale to seek out after-Christmas sale laptop deals in both the US and UK looking for devices that will suit different needs, from general home use to gaming and content creation. These are the best deals going today, but also check our guide to the best laptops for video editing and the best laptop for graphic design.

Apple MacBook Pro 14in (M4 Pro): was $1,999 now $1,699 at Amazon

Save $300: The newest MacBook Pros were only released last month, so any saving is welcome, and $300 off is fantastic. The power of the M4 Pro chip makes this an option for video, VFX and 3D work, as we found in our review. There's up to $400 off the 16-inch model with the M4 Max chip.
