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.

Early Amazon Prime Day laptop deals are already live ahead of the retailer's massive two-day fall sale. Right now, you can save on everything from super cheap Chromebooks to high-end Windows Ultrabooks with excellent price cuts across a wide range of machines. Put simply, it's a great time to be shopping for a brand-new laptop.

In an effort to steal Amazon's thunder, Walmart recently announced that they too will be hosting a major sales event on October 8 — the exact same start date as Prime Big Deal Days. The only difference is that Walmart's Holiday Deals event event will last a full 5 days.
