How-To Geek - 50 min 36 sec ago

Well, the dragons officially landed on HBO Max last Sunday, and if your social feeds look anything like mine, they’re currently boiling over with Targaryens. But nobody can live on dragon fire alone—sometimes you need a palate cleanser, something the family can watch, or a documentary to feed your brain. Happily, HBO Max still has a few tricks up its sleeve for June, with exactly that kind of content.

This Toyota SUV is more luxurious than a Mercedes (and its not a Lexus)

How-To Geek - 1 hour 50 min ago

Luxury SUVs have become bigger, more powerful, and more technologically advanced than ever before, but they have also become incredibly expensive. It isn't unusual for a well-equipped midsize model to command a price tag that pushes deep into premium territory, leaving many buyers wondering whether the badge on the hood justifies the extra cost.

When you're traveling, you definitely want enough space to fit all your stuff, like laptops and headphones. The Away brand is one of the most prominent in the luggage space, and Amazon has an exclusive version of the 31-inch hardside suitcase. It's also got some fancy features that separate it from the competition, so it's not just your run-of-the-mill suitcase. But make sure to act quickly, as this deal won't last for much longer.

Right now, during Amazon Prime Day, this suitcase is 35% off, bringing the price down from $435 to $282. That's $153 in savings. This is a Lightning Deal, so don't wait!

This suitcase is made of 100 percent polycarbonate hardshell, making it both durable and lightweight. No matter how many hours you spend flying, whether you're a frequent flyer or like to stay put in one place, this suitcase will last you for a long time. It features a trunk design, meaning that it's built with deeper capacity. The main compartment is deep enough to store plenty of items, and the top lid is slimmer to give it a more sleek look. There are three mesh pockets to help organize and a water-resistant drawstring laundry bag to place your dirty clothes. The TSA-approved combination lock keeps your belongings secure.

It's also vital that the suitcase rolls smoothly, as you don't want to take your stuff on a bumpy ride. The four wheels spin in a 360-degree fashion for ultimate maneuverability. The suitcase has a quick-release handle that can be adjusted, as well as grab handles for additional carrying. Away offers lifetime care coverage, including repair support, just in case something happens to your suitcase.

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I basically get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, and laptops. All year long, I've been reporting on price hikes, but for Prime Day 2026, I can finally write about price drops.

In this guide, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals. Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to June 26, and the Mashable shopping team will be providing round-the-clock coverage of the sale. Only the best deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — end up on this page.

Mashable also goes a step further than merely collecting deals. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure Amazon really has the lowest price. Finally, we use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders.

So, with all this in mind, here are the best Prime Day tech deals of 2026. I've personally tested many of these products, but I'm also leaning on recommendations from our tech and shopping team.

Record-low prices on the latest Apple Watches

The latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day has delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

Bose makes the most comfortable headphones in the world, according to both our readers and product testers. On day one of Prime Day, you can save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are on sale for $70 off, we're hoping prices will go lower on those particular cans.

Our favorite Kindles rarely go on sale, but you can always count on Prime Day for some discounts on these popular e-readers. For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.

I tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is it's on sale for $949. The bad news: Over Memorial Day Weekend, we saw prices drop to $899. So, if you can wait a little longer, you can wait for a further price drop later in the week.

Looking for the best Prime Day deals under $50? I've got you.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and earbuds at the same time. If that's overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day.

We were hoping to see slightly better Prime Day deals on AirPods, and prices could still go lower on the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. But we can recommend shopping the AirPods Max 2 headphones and AirPods 4 at the current prices. The AirPods Max 2 have never been this cheap, though there is a slight chance the AirPods 4 will get another price drop later in the week.

I've loved Jackery power stations long before they became the trendy new "it" product. For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far.

$799 Save $399.01   Get Deal Record-low prices on Samsung TVs

I've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.

Please note: As of this writing, this Amazon listing incorrectly displays a picture of the more expensive The Frame Pro model.

If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.

For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.

The best Prime Day tech deals always include savings on the Fire TV stick streaming devices, which start at just $15.99. If you're not ready to buy a new smart TV, then upgrade your older model TV with these streaming sticks. During the Amazon sale, these devices are on sale for up to 54% off.

The past-gen Sony XM5 headphones have 95% of the same features as the new flagship XM6 headphones, but during Prime Day, they have a much lower price. So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

Mashable readers and reviewers alike appreciate DJI's cult-favorite creator tools. The brand makes some of the most popular gadgets for professional content creators, and no DJI products are more popular than the TikTok-famous DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 gimbal camera. I've personally tested both of these devices for Mashable, and their reputation is well-deserved.

For the best Prime Day Dyson deals, we actually recommend skipping Amazon altogether. Dyson is hosting a very competitive sale at its online store, where you can find our favorite Dyson products at the lowest prices we've seen. If you've always wanted a fancy Dyson stick vacuum with the laser attachment, grab the V12 Detect Slim for $250 off. I'm also a huge fan of the original Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which I've relied on for years. This week, you can pick it up with three attachments for $279.99.

The new Apple AirTags 2 just got their first-ever discount at Amazon, though it's not a very big one. Still, you can grab these long-range trackers for $24 (or $89 for a 4-pack). However, if you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 — while supplies last, which they won't.

Looking for Prime Day deals under $25? You can't do much better than this Blink Mini indoor security camera for just $9.99. That's so cheap we have to wonder if Amazon is selling it as a loss, or if the company has achieved Apple Tim Cook levels of supply chain wizardry. Either way, you can grab this Amazon brand's security cameras to protect your home inside and out.

Because DJI dones have been officially banned in the United States, you can only buy these popular drones from third-party sellers on Amazon. However, if you're willing to risk it, you can score some great deals on these drones, which have professional-quality cameras but controls that are simple enough for beginners.

When you add solar panels to a portable power station, you transform these devices into eco-friendly generators. For backyard powerups or RV camping, this Mashable-tested power station is one of our favorites, and during Prime Day, you can bundle it with a foldable 400W solar panel.

Technically, this isn't a Prime Day deal, as the new Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle first launched a few weeks ago. But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular games to bundle with the gaming console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save.

I fixed my laggy Fire TV with one setting Amazon never explains

How-To Geek - 2 hours 50 min ago

Amazon Fire TVs are great until you start to notice the slowdown. Amazon sells televisions and Fire TV Sticks by the thousands. Along with sticks, they all come with these ads that seem to make everything slower. However, you don't need to deal with the lag; you just need to know what settings to turn off.

How to watch Panama vs. Croatia online for free

Mashable - 2 hours 50 min ago

TL;DR: Live stream Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is now a few days into the second round of group games. And for some countries it's already do or die.

Both Panama and Croatia took losses in their Group L opening games. Panama lost 1-0 to Ghana, and Croatia lost 4-2 to England. Croatia are a solid team though, led by superstar midfielder Luka Modric. Can Croatia get back on track by beating Panama? A loss for either team could see them crash out of the whole tournament.

If you want to watch Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is Panama vs. Croatia?

Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 17 p.m. ET on June 23. This fixture takes place at the Toronto Stadium.

How to watch Panama vs. Croatia for free

Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is available to live stream for free on BBC iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer is geo-restricted to the UK, but anyone can access this free streaming platform with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in the UK, meaning you can unblock BBC iPlayer to live stream the 2026 World Cup for free from anywhere in the world.

Live stream Panama vs. Croatia for free by following these simple steps:

  1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Visit BBC iPlayer

  5. Watch Panama vs. Croatia for free from anywhere in the world

Opens in a new window Credit: ExpressVPN ExpressVPN (1-Month Plan) $12.99 only at ExpressVPN Get Deal

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream Panama vs. Croatia (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

What is the best VPN for BBC iPlayer?

ExpressVPN is the best choice for bypassing geo-restrictions to stream live sport on BBC iPlayer, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 105 countries including the UK

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling

  • Up to 10 simultaneous connections

A two-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for $68.40 and includes an extra four months for free — 81% off for a limited time. Alternatively, you can get a one-month plan for just $12.99. That covers you for the duration of the World Cup.

Prime Day 2026 is here. After weeks of early deals and so many TV commercials, Amazon's flagship summer sale has officially kicked off. If you're a Prime member, this is your opportunity to save on almost anything, from boring household essentials like dish soap to big-ticket splurges like a new 65-inch TV. If you're not sure where to start, we've gathered all of the best Prime Day deals, including unprecedented price drops on the entire Apple Watch lineup, Sony headphones, and Ninja kitchen appliances.

Prime Day usually takes place in July, but this year, Amazon decided to shake things up and run the sale in June. So, if you haven't already heard the news, Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to 26. The timing may have changed, but we're still seeing the same great seasonal savings on products from Apple, DJI, Dyson, Lego, and Samsung.

We're obviously hunting for the best Apple deals during Prime Day, and so far, the winner seems to be the Apple Watch SE 3. We've praised this smartwatch for its battery upgrades and always-on display, which were previously the main reasons to spend more on a Series 10 or 11. This affordable Apple Watch is back to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day, as are its more expensive siblings.

The best deal on headphones goes to the Sony WH-1000XM5s, an older pair of flagship cans that we still love and recommend. ("They [have] unbeatable ANC and sound for the money, and even in 2026, they sound shockingly good," writes Bethany Allard, our resident headphones expert.) Normally $399.99, they're marked down to just $198 for Prime Day — a 50% savings and their lowest price ever.

Amazon's latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, have both hit new, all-time low prices this Prime Day. But the biggest discount is going to the Echo Spot, its smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.

You can now get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

She likes its ample storage, auto-adjusting light, wireless charging, and lack of lockscreen ads. Right now, it's on sale for just $144.99 (normally $199.99) — the same price as a regular Paperwhite with its default ads removed, which has half the storage. It's never been cheaper before.

DJI's entire fleet of gadgets is on sale this Prime Day, and this deal on its DJI Mini 3 is a standout. Amazon has it discounted to $269, or 36% off — its lowest price ever.

Ive covered Amazon Prime Day for 7 years. Here are the MacBook deals worth buying.

Mashable - 3 hours 7 min ago
The best Prime Day MacBook deals at a glance: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $150) Get Deal

Prime Day 2026 is here — one of the best times to get a deal on a MacBook. I've covered Amazon's flagship summer sale for seven years straight now, and I always see Apple laptops get hefty discounts as part of the festivities. This year is par for the course, with savings of up to $250 across the MacBook Air and Pro lineups.

Amazon's Prime Day MacBook deals are especially welcome right now because Apple is on the verge of sweeping price hikes. (Blame the global RAM shortage.) Going forward, I think it'll be rarer to find MacBooks at prices like we're seeing this week.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is here: We found 50+ deals on Apple, Sony, and Lego favorites

It's worth mentioning that most configurations are still a ways away from their lowest prices on record. For instance, the M5 MacBook Airs are $150 off right now, but they were $200 off last month around Memorial Day. Amazon has sweetened its MacBook deals midway through previous Prime Day sales, so consider waiting to make your purchase until later this week in case prices dip further.

I'd also check out competing retailers' anti-Prime Day sales — namely, Best Buy's Tech Fest. It features lots of deals on older refurbished MacBooks that you won't find elsewhere. (Amazon had a new M3 MacBook from 2024 marked down to $799 in the early hours of Prime Day, but it sold out quickly.)

Read on for my one-stop guide to all of the top Prime Day MacBook deals, and check back often. I'll continue to update my list based on Amazon's latest prices and deals availability. I'm marking any record-lows I encounter with a 🔥.

$1,099 Save $150   Get Deal

The new M5 MacBook Air is a class-leading ultraportable with a zippy processor, two full workdays' worth of battery life, and a premium, polished design. (Haptic touchpad? Check. Crisp Liquid Retina display? Check. Speakers that sound better than anything you'll find on the average Windows laptop? Checkity-check.) The 13-inch base configuration is on sale for $949 on Amazon this Prime Day, which is 14% off its regular $1,099 sticker price.

You'll find the same deal at Best Buy this week, too. These deals both apply to all four colors: starlight, silver, midnight, and sky blue.

$1,699 Save $150   Get Deal

The M5 MacBook Pro is a creative-forward upgrade with a gorgeous 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED) display, a longer battery life, and extra ports like an SDXC card slot. It also has built-in fans, unlike the MacBook Air, so you're less likely to experience thermal throttling when you run demanding software on it. Amazon has the base model listed for $1,549 this Prime Day (typically $1,699) — a 9% savings. Best Buy is also price-matching Amazon here.

The MacBook Neo is Apple's colorful new budget laptop. It starts at $599 with 256GB of storage. For $699, you can double its storage capacity and add Touch ID.

While Amazon hasn't been totally resistant to putting the Neo on sale — it's been $9 off there for several weeks now — it doesn't get the same big price cuts as Apple's other laptops. This is probably because it's already a bargain at full price. For that reason, I wouldn't count on it getting a big discount this Prime Day (but I'm happy to be proven wrong).

As things stand, the best MacBook Neo deal right now is Apple's education pricing for college students, their parents, and teachers. Eligible buyers pay just $499 for the base model and $599 for the Touch ID model (a $100 savings either way). If you don't qualify for that offer, Amazon's $9 discount is waiting.

The MacBook Air is my favorite MacBook for most people, including most college students and office workers. The MacBook Neo is my top pick for frugal buyers, casual users, and younger students (grades K through 12). The MacBook Pro is my No. 1 choice for content creators and other creative professionals, especially photo and video editors.

The Kindle I use every day just dropped to its lowest price ever for Prime Day

Mashable - 3 hours 9 min ago

Testing e-readers is by far the best and easiest part of my job. As a bookworm, my reading list is miles long, and my library holds are usually maxed out. I use an e-reader every day, and when I'm not testing a new device, there's one Kindle that I keep coming back to: my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.

And for Prime Day 2026, you can grab my favorite e-reader at its lowest-ever price.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition $144.99 at Amazon
$199.99 Save $55   Get Deal

Initially, I was put off by the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's $199.99 price tag; however, I've come to love its overall value. With the standard Paperwhite constantly serving me a rotation of books I'm never going to read, the Signature Edition became a lot more appealing. While I don't think the Signature Edition's built-in wallpapers are all that more aesthetically pleasing, it's nice to be free of consumerism when I'm trying to read my book.

But the Signature Edition is a better value than ever before. When Prime Day kicked off, I was delighted to see that the Paperwhite Signature Edition dropped to an all-time low price of $144.99. That saves you $55 off its $199.99 list price, which I think is a real steal. Especially when you consider that the regular Paperwhite without ads is the same price. But why not just go for the ad-free Paperwhite? Well, the Signature Edition gives you so much more than an ad-free display.

Our best editor-vetted Prime Day deals

Apple AirPods Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Heart Rate Wireless Earbuds — $179.99 (List Price $249.00)

Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds With Active Noise Cancellation — $148.99 (List Price $179.00)

Apple iPad 11" 128GB Wi-Fi Retina Tablet (Silver, 2025 Release) — $299.00 (List Price $349.00)

Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm, S/M Black Sport Band) — $279.00 (List Price $399.00)

Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones — $378.00 (List Price $459.99)

Echo Dot 5th Gen Smart Speaker (2022 Release, Charcoal) — $34.99 (List Price $49.99)

55" Amazon Ember 4-Series 4K HDR10+ Smart Fire TV (2025 Model) — $279.95 (List Price $459.99)

Amazon Fire TV 2.0ch Bluetooth Soundbar With Dolby Audio — $79.99 (List Price $119.99)

Fire TV Stick 4K Plus Streaming Player With Remote (2025 Model) — $24.99 (List Price $49.99)

The SE has twice the amount of storage as most Kindles. With 32GB of storage, I'm not sure I'll ever fill up the device. With 175 books currently downloaded to my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, I'm only using 647MB of storage. Doing a little bit of math, that means I could fill up the Kindle with over 6,000 books. I'm not sure I'll do that in this lifetime, but I'd certainly like to try.

Other bonus features on the Signature Edition include an auto-adjust front light, which I will say, I've turned off since I find it to be rather inconsistent. But wireless charging is a nice bonus, especially if you already use a MagSafe charger.

So if you're looking for a Kindle this Prime Day, treat yourself to the Signature Edition, which has never been cheaper.

Your home Wi-Fi exists because of Netflix—here's how it happened

How-To Geek - 3 hours 20 min ago

I remember when I first subscribed to Netflix streaming (using a Smart DNS, but don't tell anyone) and how impressive it was. At the time, I had a 4Mbps DSL connection, a Wi-Fi 3 router with 54Mbps of bandwidth, and a 720p plasma TV. The Netflix app ran on my PlayStation 3. It was all just enough to run smoothly, and I saw that it was good.
