Amazons Prime Day laptop deals are the best Ive seen in years

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 22:30
The best Prime Day laptop deals at a glance: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $849 (save $150) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, 13.8-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $918.99 (save $481 with Prime) Get Deal Best 2-in-1 laptop deal Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,249.99 (save $350 with Prime) Get Deal Best gaming laptop deal Asus ROG Strix G16 (Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,399.99 (save $500 with Prime) Get Deal Best Chromebook deal Acer Chromebook Plus 515 (Intel Core i3-1305U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $329.99 (save $100 with Prime) Get Deal

The battle of the best Prime Day laptop deals seemed like M4 MacBook Air's game to lose. In the lead-up to its annual members-only sale this week, Amazon had Apple's latest 13-incher marked down to only $849 (in all colorways, too). That's $150 off the M4 MacBook Air's already modest MSRP of $999, which is a hefty discount for a popular laptop that only just came out in March.

I thought it would be tough for Amazon to one-up that deal once Prime Day formally started, but I'm happy to say it's proven me wrong. On the second day of the sale (now live through July 11), I'm seeing a slew of Windows laptops discounted to record-low prices there. That includes our beloved Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 and four different gaming laptops with Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series graphic cards, which were my Prime Day white whales. I really didn't expect Amazon to put any on sale, much less at such steep discounts.

As Mashable's resident laptop guru (and someone who's been covering Prime Day since 2019), I want to share a few quick reminders to help you make smart shopping decisions when you're making a purchase as big as a new computer. One is to avoid third-party sellers on Amazon, which may have their own customer service policies or dabble in sketchy selling practices. The other is to cross-check prices with other retailers to verify Amazon's deals — it occasionally lists incorrect MSRPs — and to make sure you're getting the best price possible. For what it's worth, Best Buy is Amazon's biggest rival when it comes to laptop deals. It's currently running a Black Friday in July sale alongside Prime Day through July 13.

Below, I've rounded up the best Prime Day laptop deals I've found so far on Amazon. I'll be refreshing my picks throughout the week whenever Amazon rolls out more offers, so check back soon. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price, while struck-through deals were sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4).

The new 13-inch MacBook Air is our top budget pick for Apple users and a Mashable Choice Award winner. "It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades," including an upgraded 12MP webcam and support for two external displays, wrote senior editor Stan Schroeder. He gave it an overall rating of 4.5/5.

Amazon's $849 deal applies to all colors of the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. The Sky Blue variant briefly dipped down to an even-cheaper $829 in late June, but I have no trouble endorsing it at its current price: It's such a good deal on a popular new laptop that's already pretty affordable.

Read Mashable's full review of the 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

Microsoft's 13.8-inch flagship PC is our favorite Windows laptop, combining a slick, sophisticated design with peppy performance and an all-day battery life. (Literally: It lasted nearly 23 hours in our testing.) This variant has a high-end Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage — our ideal baseline specs for most everyday users.

Prime members can snag the Platinum colorway on sale for just $918.99, which is 34% off its $1,399.99 MSRP and a new all-time low by a couple bucks. For comparison's sake, Amazon's deal is $181 cheaper than competing discounts at the Microsoft Store and Best Buy (where it's currently sold out).

The wireless earbuds deals are wild this Prime Day: Ive never seen prices this low

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 22:29

Amazon Prime Day is gracing us with its presence once again. This year, the official sale runs from July 8 through 11, though deals started popping up weeks before the formal dates of the shopping event. That's just the Amazon way. We're on the second day of the sale, and there are still plenty of discounts to be found.

I knew that tons of wireless earbuds would be hitting new record lows for Prime Day 2025. But, frankly, I've been shocked by the deals in this category so far, which include buds from top audio brands like Anker Soundcore, Apple, Beats, and Samsung. It doesn't matter if you need new noise-cancelling earbuds, open earbuds, or budget buds under $50, they're all here, and they're all on sale.

We're tracking all of the best wireless earbuds deals at Amazon (and beyond), and these are the best options to shop on Prime Day. Check back regularly as we update this list with the latest and greatest discounts.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Competition has never been fiercer in the battle of the best earbuds, but we're still big fans of the AirPods Pro — especially now that they've dipped down to a record-low of just $149. That puts them within $20 of the AirPods 4 at full price, which don't even offer noise cancellation. We love their rich and well-balanced sound profile, best-in-class noise-cancelling ability, decent battery life, and seamless Apple ecosystem integration.

Read our full review of the AirPods Pro (USB-C).

We were pretty shocked by how well the Soundcore P20is performed in testing — especially for the rock-bottom price. While they don't offer noise cancellation, they make up for it with other perks. For one, the equalizer presets on the companion app allow the P20i earbuds to produce the kind of well-rounded sound you'd expect from earbuds three times the price. They also boast a solid battery life of 10 hours per charge and an extra 30 with the case. For those keeping track, that's better than AirPods.

As our reviewer put it, "If you don't want to be too precious about your earbuds (there's nothing wrong with being accident-prone) the Anker Soundcore P20i earbuds will be the kindest to your wallet, while still delivering an all-around decent listening experience." The price is by far the best part; usually $39.99, you can pick up a pair at just $18.99 on Prime Day. That's a new record-low price for the buds.

Amazons Prime Day deals on TVs are the best Ive seen in years

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 22:22

To keep it real, Amazon's TV deals during Prime Day have often been overshadowed by Best Buy or Walmart's competing sales. But things are much more heated in 2025. Amazon has brought a truly robust list of worthwhile TV deals to the table, making it a genuine competitor this year.

As expected, we're seeing deals on Amazon's various 4-Series and Omni Fire TVs, of course. But Amazon is putting a lot of emphasis on cheap QLEDs from other brands like Insignia and Hisense, with many discounts reaching new record-low pricing. A lot of the top deals are on new 2024 and 2025 models that were too new for a big discount during past sales events, including some of Samsung's newest premium QLED and OLED TVs.

A quick look at the best Prime Day TV deals Best 55-inch TV deal Hisense 55-inch QD6 QLED 4K Fire TV 🔥 $239.99 (save $140) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal Insignia 65-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV $299.99 (save $200) Get Deal Best 75-inch TV deal TCL 75-inch QM7K QD-Mini LED 4K TV 🔥 $998 (save $1,001.99) Get Deal

We're tracking all of the worthwhile Prime Day TV deals below, organized by size and then by price. All TVs chosen below have 4K resolution and LED backlighting at the least. If any model bumps up to 8K resolution or QLED or OLED lighting, we'll note it specifically.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

The cheapest 65-inch QLED TV we're clocking at Amazon this Prime Day isn't an Amazon TV. It is still a Fire TV, but oddly enough, it's from Insignia — a Best Buy brand.

If you have trouble picturing the difference between an LED and QLED TV in your head, this is your chance to try an XL QLED out at home without severely overspending. The Insignia QF series has been garnering quite positive customer reviews on picture quality and color vibrancy. At this price, it's probably not going to have the same pop as some of the premium QLEDs out there, but you'll definitely notice the quantum dot difference compared to your old TV, especially during daytime viewing.

GameSir’s Best Gamepad Gets a 20% Prime Day Discount

How-To Geek - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 22:00

GameSir is best known for its excellent mobile controllers, and to a lesser extent, its Xbox-style gamepads. When the company released the Cyclone 2, a feature-packed controller for PC, mobile, and Switch, I knew I had to get it. Now that it’s 20% off for Prime Day, it’s the perfect time to grab one yourself.

My favorite gaming headset is on sale for Prime Day — save $20 on the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 21:57

SAVE $20: The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is my favorite gaming headset on the market, and it's on sale for Amazon Prime Day 2025. Snag one for $20 off for a limited time.

$199.99 Save $20 Get Deal

In my experience, Prime Day is always a fantastic time for gamers. Tons of gaming-related items tend to get nice discounts during the annual sale event, from games, to accessories, to consoles, and more. Thankfully, Prime Day 2025 hasn't been an exception to that rule.

Prime Day is already on its second day, but one of my favorite deals from the sale so far just landed — $20 off the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro gaming headset. It's still a bit of an investment at $179.99, but I promise this will be the only gaming headset you'll need for the foreseeable future. So if you've got the budget, it's worth it.

SEE ALSO: I've picked my favorite gaming laptop deals from Prime Day 2025

When I reviewed the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro last year, I was blown away by the headset's comfort and overall value. I could wax poetic about it, but the main draws of the BlackShark V2 Pro are its FlowKnit ear cushions that are actually comfortable enough to wear all day, high-quality 50mm drivers, passive noise cancellation, amazing microphone quality, and pretty great battery life at around 20 hours. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro will most likely jump back up to full price ($199.99) after Prime Day, so if you're considering picking one up, I think you should go for it.

Score a 50-inch 4K Amazon Fire TV for $260

How-To Geek - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 21:51

The 50-inch Amazon Fire 4K smart TV is now on sale for $260 on Amazon. This is a drop of 35% off its original price of $400, and is a very cheap way to get a 4K smart TV into your home. The size isn't bad either, as some bargain TVs are more expensive than this.

Score an M2 MacBook Air for $100 off with this Best Buy deal

SAVE $100: As of July 9, get the Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M2, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $699, down from its usual price of $799. That's $100 off and a discount of 12%.

Prime Day is officially on, and the second day of the big Amazon shopping event brings us deals beyond the realm of the retail chain. If you're thinking about snagging a great deal elsewhere, you might want to turn to Best Buy, where you can get your hands on a significantly discounted M2 MacBook Air at this very moment. Thanks to the retailer's Black Friday in July sale, there are tons of goodies you can score for low prices beyond what Amazon has in stock.

As of July 9, get the Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M2, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $699, down from its usual price of $799. That's $100 off and a discount of 12%.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2025: Live updates on the top deals

This M2 MacBook Air is an older model, of course, but it's a great buy. Walmart just began selling the older M1 model for $699 just last spring, so you're getting a newer, more powerful version of Apple's slimline laptop with this deal right now. In general, the Air is the lightest, most portable option of the bunch, though it can still keep up with the big dogs in terms of performance.

This particular configuration comes with an M2 processor under the hood as well as 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD so you can keep all your important files and documents without needing external storage. Currently, this price only applies to the Midnight and Starlight colorways, so you'll have to settle for one of those hues if you want to snag this deal.

It's a good time to go ahead and commit, however. Even the most lightweight MacBook Air is capable of handling multiple tasks at once, and for $100 off, it's well worth investing. Just make sure to do so before it sells out.

Our beauty tech reviewers cannot believe this $500 Shark CryoGlow and FlexFusion bundle

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 21:37

SAVE $200: As of July 9, you can get the Shark CryoGlow red light mask and Shark FlexFusion hair styler together for $499.99 at Amazon. Both cost $349.99 each outside of Prime Day, so you're saving almost 30%.

$699.98 Save $199.99 Get Deal

If you were using Prime Day as an excuse to finally buy the Shark CryoGlow or Shark FlexFusion, don't stress yourself out by choosing between them. Simply get both — I stumbled across a genuinely jaw-dropping Prime Day bundle that gets you the Shark CryoGlow red light mask and Shark FlexFusion hair styler together for $499.99.

Without a deal, buying both would end up costing you $699.98 — the CryoGlow and this version of the FlexFusion for $349.99. Both rarely go on sale otherwise, so getting both for $500 is essentially scoring each of them for $249.99. My fellow shopping reporter Bethany Allard and I have tested several Shark beauty products at home and are constantly singing their praises — now's your chance to see what the hype is all about.

To this day, the Shark CryoGlow mask has never been on sale by itself at Amazon since its release in Feb. 2025. To be fair, it's one of the more affordable red light masks out there, compared to the popular $395 OmniLux mask or $469.99 CurrentBody mask. But even at full price, I'd spend $349.99 on the Shark mask in a heartbeat, and have told a ton of people in my review and in my personal life to do the same. I am fully convinced that the CryoGlow mask saved me from living in fear of my persistent adult acne striking again. I went from getting a new garguantuan pimple almost every day to getting maybe one every two weeks, and the timing aligns exactly with the eight week window that Shark recommends for seeing best results.

SEE ALSO: My favorite robot vacuums are on sale for Prime Day: Save on Roomba, Roborock, and Shark

Now that I'm testing the CurrentBody mask, I'm sorely missing the seamless experience of simply wearing the Shark CryoGlow. I actually prefer the CryoGlow's bulky hard shell and head strap to the CurrentBody's flimsy nature and velcro strap that always gets stuck in my hair. Not only does the Shark remote have a screen, but it offers three different settings that use a combination of red, blue, and infrared light to target different concerns like aging or acne. The CurrentBody mask I have doesn't use blue light at all, and has less bulbs in total than the Shark mask.

SEE ALSO: After 3 months and visible results, the Shark LED mask is a staple in my skincare routine

The FlexFusion goes on sale a little more often, but it's still cheaper than we've ever seen it with this Prime Day bundle. (By itself, this version of the styler is on sale for $279.99 for Prime Day.) This model comes with a Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush, styling concentrator, 1.25-inch Auto-Wrap curlers, and the FrizzFighter finishing tool.

Released in Oct. 2024, the FlexFusion does something that no hair styler has really successfully achieved before: It works on wet and dry hair. The tool steals the same air styling technique seen in multi-stylers like the FlexStyle, then introduces the option for the heated styling we're used to with flat irons or curling irons.

SEE ALSO: 6 Dyson Supersonic dupes that are actually worth the hype (and worth grabbing during Amazon Prime Day)

After a ton of testing, my coworker Bethany Allard can vouch for the quality of multiple Shark hair tools — she even backs the FlexStyle over the Dyson Airwrap. She wouldn't be surprised if the FlexFusion could reliably replace one or two of your current hair tools: "The FlexFusion can definitely be used as a dupe, but that's not all it is. It feels like with the FlexFusion, Shark is aiming to create a unique tool that can replace your standard curling and flat iron, as well as give you the air-styling people know and love from multi-stylers. If you're rocking with your hot tools from when you were a teenager, this might be the upgrade you're looking for."

As a Garmin watch loyalist, here are my favorite Prime Day deals

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 20:37
The best Prime Day Garmin watch deals at a glance: BEST OVERALL Garmin vívoactive 5 $190 (save $109.99) Get Deal BEST FOR ATHLETES Garmin fēnix 7 Pro (47mm) $499.99 (save $400) Get Deal BEST BUDGET DEAL Garmin Venu Sq 2 $149.99 (save $100) Get Deal

As a loyal Garmin watch user for five years now, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the brand. I personally don't see why anyone would choose an Apple Watch, which you have to charge every day, over a Garmin smartwatch, which will last you well over a week on a charge. To each their own, of course. If you're not totally sold on the fruit company's flagship watch, allow me to point you towards some Garmin smartwatches that will wow you. They're not cheap, but on Prime Day, you can save over $100 on many models.

Whether you're a runner, a triathlete, or just dabbling in the health and wellness sector, there's a Garmin device for you. Below, we've highlighted the best Prime Day Garmin watch deals you can shop at Amazon, as well as Best Buy.

Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a new all-time low price

While we haven't tested the vívoactive 5 model, we did spend some time with its predecessor and gave it a nearly perfect rating. "The vívoactive 4 is an excellent smartwatch for active people wanting to be more in tune with their bodies, and for less active individuals who have the desire but need a little nudging to stick to their goals," our reviewer sums up. The fifth rendition of the watch upgraded the AMOLED display, enhances sleep and stress coaching, improves the heart rate sensor, and includes even more sports apps.

There's now a sixth-generation model in town, making the vívoactive 5 even more affordable. It's typically a pretty reasonable $299.99, but it's on sale for just $190 for Prime Day. That's only $1 away from its best-ever price from Black Friday.

While the fēnix 8 is the latest in the lineup, the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro is a whole lot more affordable. Regularly $899.99 for the 47mm Pro Sapphire Solar edition, it can be yours for just $499.99 on Prime Day. That's 44% in savings and a new record low.

The fēnix 7 Pro is a multisport watch built for training and adventure. It can last for up to 22 days on a charge, thanks to the addition of solar charging. Like most Garmin watches, it packs tons of health and wellness features, but it adds training features like hill score, endurance score, pacing modes, race predictor, morning reports, training readiness, advanced navigation, preloaded maps, and more performance-focused data. There's even a built-in flashlight for those who like to train at night.
