The 15 Prime Day tech deals I recommend as a tech editor (day 2)

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 04:08

As Mashable's tech editor, I've been covering Prime Day and Black Friday events since 2019. So, instead of wading through hundreds of the best Prime Day tech deals to find the diamonds in the rough, let me do the deal hunting for you. I am a professional, after all.

For day two of Prime Day 2025, I'm rounding up the best savings on the coolest tech, hand-picked for your enjoyment.

Prime Day, Day 2: The Top Tech Deals Top speaker deal Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth Speaker $97.99 (save $51.96) Get Deal The top TV deal Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2024) $797.99 (save $700) Get Deal top deal for creators DJI Neo Mini 4K camera drone $159 (save $40) Get Deal Top Amazon Device Deal Kindle Paperwhite (without lockscreen ads) $144.99 (save $35) Get Deal Top Memory Deal SanDisk 1TB Extreme Poratble SSD $77.99 (save $52) Get Deal Top laptop deal Apple M4 MacBook Air, 16GB Ram, 256GB SSD $849 (save $150) Get Deal Top Tablet Deal Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet $132.99 (save $97) Get Deal Top Earbuds Deal Apple AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds $149.00 at Amazon Get Deal Top gaming deal Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 Series 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor $199.99 (save $130) Get Deal Best home deal Dyson Cool AM07 Air Multiplier Bladeless Tower Fan $249.99 (save $120) Get Deal

This year's top Prime Day deals on gadgets include big savings on flagship products from Apple, Amazon, Bose, Dyson, Samsung, and Sony. You'll also find discounts on charging accessories, under-the-radar brands, and smart home tech of all kinds. I've selected the best of the best for this shopping guide, and I'll be updating it daily as new deals go online.

Remember: Unlike Prime Days gone by, this year's shop-a-thon takes place over four days, from July 8 to 11. Amazon will also be releasing new deals as the event unfolds, so keep checking back for the latest and best Prime Day deals of the moment.

The best Prime Day speaker deal: A Beats speaker Opens in a new window Credit: Beats Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth Speaker $97.99 at Amazon
$149.95 Save $51.96 Get Deal Why I love it

Hating on Kim Kardashian is so 2010-coded. The reality TV starlet has proven herself as an entrepreneur about 10 times over by now, and her collaboration with Beats has resulted in some fantastic products. Whether you keep up with the Kardashians or not, this is a killer water-resistant party speaker with a 24-hour battery life. For Prime Day, it's under $100.

Pro tip: If you want the best possible price on this Beats speaker, you can get it for just $89.99 at the Mashable Shop, though you lose out on Prime shipping and returns.

The best Prime Day TV deal: Samsung The Frame Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2025) $797.99 at Amazon
$1,497.99 Save $700 Get Deal Why I love it

As a tech editor, friends and family sometimes ask me what the best TV is, and my answer is always the same: The Frame. Now, I have some caveats. If you're a movie lover, sports fan, avid binge watcher, and especially if you're all of the above, then I'd recommend a premium OLED TV (it's a toss-up between the 65-inch version of the Samsung S95F or the LG C5 OLED TVs). But for design nerds like myself, The Frame truly is something special.

It's not just the unique matte, anti-glare display. It's not just the Samsung art gallery, with thousands of classic and modern works of art to display on your TV. And it's not just the ultra-thin design. The combination of all these innovations makes The Frame more than the sum of its parts. When it's not in use, this cult-favorite art TV actually enhances your home decor, instead of becoming a design dead zone.

On day one of the Amazon sale, I recommended the 2025 model of The Frame. However, now that Amazon is price matching Best Buy and Samsung's price on the 2024 edition, that's my new top pick. I've been low-key obsessed with that version since attending the launch event, and you're getting all the necessary features at a much better price.

The best Prime Day deal for creators: A 4K camera drone Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Neo Mini 4K camera drone $159 at Amazon
$199 Save $40 Get Deal Why I love it

DJI is quickly becoming my favorite brand for creator gadgets. I've loved the company's gimbal pocket camera, and its pocket mics are the unsung heroes of your favorite TikTok videos. If you want to add aerial photography to your social media game, then order this 4K camera drone while it's on sale. Not only is this one of the best drones for beginners, but it can take off from the palm of your hand.

Another great deal for creators: A gimbal and tripod combo Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer $125 at Amazon
$149 Save $24 Get Deal Why I love it

DJI's multifunctional creator tool is compact, but acts as a fully-stocked creator toolbox. It has impeccable tracking and stabilization. Its all-in-one design houses an extension rod, a built-in tripod, a phone charging port, and a module for audio capture and lighting.

The best Amazon device deal: Our favorite Kindle Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $144.99
$179.99 Save $35 Without lockscreen ads Get Deal Why I love it

This is the exact Kindle I use, and I'm not just a casual book lover. I collect rare paperbacks and first-edition books, so when I say I'm a bibliophile, I've really earned that title. Now, technically, you can buy the Kindle Paperwhite for just $124.99 during Prime Day, but I actually recommend springing for the version without lockscreen ads, which is also on sale. Yes, you'll have to pay a bit more, but it's 100 percent worth it, trust me. Otherwise, your lockscreen will be filled with annoying advertisements for romance and fantasy books no one wants to read.

Read our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite.

The best Prime Day memory deal: My personal hard drive Opens in a new window Credit: SanDisk SanDisk 1TB Extreme Poratble SSD $77.99 at Amazon
$129.99 Save $52.00 Get Deal Why I love it

Portable hard drives are far from the sexiest Prime Day deal, but they're the savvy shopper's best friend during this event. This is the time of year when I always stock up on extra MicroSD cards and portable hard drives, and this is actually the exact drive you'll find in my backpack today.

I like SanDisk's drives for their ease of use and compact size, and I find 1 or 2TB is generally enough space for temporarily storing photos and videos for work. Whether you need a MicroSD Express for your Switch 2 or a stack of new hard drives for work, Prime Day is the best time to stock up.

The best Prime Day laptop deal: Apple M4 MacBook Air Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple M4 MacBook Air $849 at Amazon
$999 Save $150 Get Deal Why I love it

Here at Mashable, we've been covering this deal for weeks. Yes, that means this isn't a Prime Day exclusive, but if you're looking for the best possible deal on a MacBook, this one's hard to pass up. Today, you can grab the newest MacBook Air, equipped with the M4 chip, in all four colorways for just $849. For students, professionals, and Apple lovers, that's an incredibly attractive offer, especially considering this laptop was just released a few months ago. As we said in our review, it's "a really good deal" — and that was before it went on sale.

Read our full review of the M4 Macbook Air.

The best Prime Day vacuum deal: Save 42% on a Roborock robovac Top Roborock offers Premium pick Roborock Saros 10R Robot Vacuum and Mop $1,297.99 (save $302) Get Deal Best for most people Roborock Q7 M5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop $249.99 (save $180) Get Deal Why I love it

I've tested a lot of robot vacuums. Too many, in fact. Roborock's bots have consistently impressed me, and for Prime Day, you can score great deals on the brand's entire lineup. If you really want to splurge, go for the slick Roborock Saros 10R Robot Vacuum and Mop. As my colleague Leah Stodart said in her review, its advanced cleaning abilities give it "an edge over many other premium vacs." Of course, I know that a nearly $1,300 robot vacuum probably isn't in your budget.

Don't worry — I have a backup option. The Roborock Q7 M5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop is a best-selling hybrid vacuum at Amazon, and for Prime Day, it gets a 42% price drop. For under $300, you'll get excellent pet hair pickup, strong suction, mopping, and self-emptying.

The best Prime Day tablet deal: An A+ tablet Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet $132.99 at Amazon
$219.99 Save $87 Get Deal Why I love it

We were excited when Samsung's A9+ tablet went on sale for $199, and for Prime Day 2025, you can pick one up for just $139.99. Now, you can definitely find more souped-up tablets on sale during Prime Day, but personally, I don't want a tablet that can double as a laptop. I want a tablet I can use for binge-watching TV in bed or playing The Sims on the couch. And this everyday Android tablet fits the bill perfectly. It's got a crisp 11-inch display you can use for browsing, gaming, and streaming, but not so much power that you'll be tempted to get some work done.

The best Prime Day earbuds deal: The must-have Apple buds Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 2 $149 at Amazon
$249 Save $100 Get Deal Why I love it

For Prime Day, we were hoping to see the AirPods Pro 2 drop back down to their record-low sale price of $159, but Amazon came through with a new record price of $149. We're hoping to see AirPods Pro 3 later this year, but if you need new earbuds and you need them now, you won't find these famous pods at a better price. And if they're still a bit outside your price range, we've got plenty more Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds to shop.

The best Prime Day smartphone deal: The flagship of the year Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra AI Smartphone, 256GB, Unlocked $949.99 at Amazon
$1,299.99 Save $350 Get Deal Why I love it

Spoiler alert: We fully expect to see new Samsung phones announced at the July 9 Samsung Unpacked event (update: they did). So, while you may find Prime Day deals on Samsung's foldable phones, we highly recommend waiting a couple more days. However, we are not expecting a replacement for the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra flagship phone anytime soon, making Prime Day the perfect time to buy the undisputed queen of Android phones. The best Prime Day tech deals include a cool 27% discount on the Ultra, letting you pick up this AI smartphone for under $1,000.

Read our full review of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra AI Smartphone.

The best Prime Day home deal: A Dyson bladeless fan Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Cool AM07 Air Multiplier Bladeless Tower Fan $249.99
$369.99 Save $120 Get Deal Why I love it

We love bladeless fans here at Mashable, and it's no surprise that Dyson makes the best ones. This tower fan combines Dyson's slick design with its signature engineering quality, and the result is a fan that almost magically cools down your room. I'm an excessive sweater, and I really struggle in the summer. So, if you're like me — too hot for your own good — then score this Prime Day Dyson deal while it's still in stock.

The best gaming deal: A gorgeous Samsung monitor Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C Series QHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor $199.99 at Amazon
$329.99 Save $130 Get Deal Why I love it

Samsung's Odyssey series gaming monitors are gorgeous — and priced securely out of reach for most us. Except, of course, during Prime Day. One of the best Prime Day tech deals so far drops the price on this curved, 32-inch gaming monitor to just $199.99, a much more reasonable investment for gamers. Powered by AMD and Samsung technology, it has a 165Hz refresh rate and an HDR 10 display.

The best travel deal: A pocket-sized Bluetooth dongle Opens in a new window Credit: Twelve South Twelve South AirFly Pro $44.99 at Amazon
$54.99 Save $10 Get Deal Why I love it

Senior Reporter Haley Henschel traveled from Chicago to London with the Twelve South AirFly Pro, and said she'll never fly without it again. Wireless headphones and earbuds are wildly more popular than wired ones, but in-flight entertainment often requires you to plug in if you want to enjoy audio. So, that's where the AirFly Pro comes in. The dongle plugs into the plane's audio jack and connects to your wireless headphones via Bluetooth, allowing you to watch in-flight movies with your favorite pair of headphones or earbuds.

Honorable mention: A retro-tech calculator Opens in a new window Credit: 8BITDO 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad $33.99
$44.99 Save $11 Get Deal Why I love it

I can't quite explain why I like this little calculator so much. There are thousands more Prime Day tech deals you could shop instead. But as someone who needs a desktop calculator for his daily work, I just love the retro look and feel of this little gadget. Grab this fun piece of retro-tech while it's on sale.

Honorable mention: Drool-worthy Dyson stick vacuums Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum $569.99 at Amazon
$749.99 Save $180 Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum $299.99 at Amazon
$469.99 Save $170 Get Deal Why I love it

The Dyson V15 Detect Plus is the Tony Stark of vacuums. It has Dyson's famous laser-equipped vacuum head, which illuminates dust, as well as the brand's signature design and quality. Dyson is the only brand that actually makes vacuuming kind of fun, and this is a true dream vacuum. Of course, with a sale price of $569, I have to delegate it to "Honorable Mention" status.

And if $300 is your limit when buying a vacuum, then opt for the Dyson V8 Cordless Stick vacuum instead. Prime Day deals on stick vacuums are always a good excuse to buy your first Dyson. If you're a proud clean freak, this home appliance is more than a vacuum; it's a status symbol. For Prime Day 2025, you can grab this cordless Dyson stick vacuum for a penny under $300, and you should.

Honorable mention: Our go-to sleep earbuds Opens in a new window Credit: Soundcore Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 sleep buds $107.99 at Amazon
$149.99 Save $42.00 Get Deal Why I love it

Mashable Lead Reporter Bethany Allard dubbed the Soundcore Sleep A20s her favorite sleep earbuds after more than a month of testing buds from different brands. The earbuds stayed in her ears and felt comfortable while lying on her side. They come with a library of sleep sounds, have a battery that will last through the night, and even provide sleep data. While this isn't a huge discount, we're excited to see the Sleep A20s get a discount at all this Prime Day.

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for July 10, 2025

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 04:00

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections?

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for July 10

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 04:00

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferrined pace.

Wordle today: Answer, hints for July 10, 2025

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 04:00

Oh hey there! If you're here, it must be time for Wordle. As always, we're serving up our daily hints and tips to help you figure out today's answer.

If you just want to be told today's word, you can jump to the bottom of this article for today's Wordle solution revealed. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable SEE ALSO: NYT Connections today: Hints and answers for July 10 Where did Wordle come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Id go to war for this beard trimmer, and its $49 for Prime Day

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 03:44

Prime Day beard trimmer deal: Grab the Panasonic MultiShape Electric Beard Trimmer for 38% off its usual price at Amazon, where it's under $50 for the first time ever.

I've tested hundreds of grooming and beauty products, and my all-time favorite has never been more affordable. As of this writing, the Panasonic MultiShape, the versatile men's multigroomer, is on sale at both Amazon and the Panasonic online store.

After testing (at least) a dozen beard trimmers, the MultiShape is my daily driver for a few reasons. It's a wet/dry groomer that's easy to clean. It can handle a close shave, detailing, and both short and long facial hair. And I can confirm that it lasts for years.

As I said up top, I'd go to war for this men's grooming system. Am I being hyperbolic to prove a point? Is the Pope American?

If you want to pick up the MultiShape while it's on sale for Prime Day 2025, you have two options, and both of these Prime Day beard trimmer deals come with record pricing.

My daily beard trimmer Opens in a new window Credit: Panasonic Panasonic MultiShape Electric Beard Trimmer $49.99 at Amazon

The MultiShape has a rotating adjustment dial and four beard trimming attachments, letting you go from 1 mm to 30 mm, a much wider range than more popular trimmers from Philips Norelco and Braun.

The all-in-one grooming system Opens in a new window Credit: Panasonic Panasonic MultiShape Ultimate All-In-One Kit $147 at Panasonic
$210 Save $63 Get Deal Why I love it

If you want all the bells and whistles, head to Panasonic and get the MultiShape All-in-One Kit for $147. If you do, you can use the MultiShape to trim your beard — and shave your face, brush your teeth, trim your nose/ear hair, and more. Panasonic even makes a facial brush attachment. In past sales, I've seen this kit discounted to $179, but this is the lowest price I've seen to date.

As I said in my MultiShape review, this is the "grooming product I use more than any other."

Amazon has more MultiShape kits on sale, and you can also build your own at Panasonic.

Amazon has 20+ large jar Yankee candles on sale for $15 this Prime Day

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 03:10

SAVE 40%: As of July 9, a variety of 22-ounce Yankee candles are 40% off at Amazon for Prime Day. That takes the large jar candles from $24.99 to $14.99.

Opens in a new window Credit: Yankee Candle Yankee Candles (22-ounce large jar) $14.99 at Amazon
$24.99 Save $10.00 Save 40% on select scents Get Deal

For some people, Prime Day isn't about new headphones. It's about stocking up on the absolute essentials, like Clorox wipes or toilet paper... or a Yankee Candle for every month of the year. The large jar Yankee candles that usually cost $24.99 are on sale for just $14.99 at Amazon — I know I'm not alone in thinking that dropping $15 on a candle sounds way better than $25.

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

There aren't too many major Yankee scents that aren't included in this Prime Day sale, with over 20 scents in total being $10 off. Revel in summer while it's actually summer with the likes of Bahama Breeze or Pink Sands, or be that person and stock up on the fall and winter scents in July. I'm going to do both: My two all-time favorite scents — the glorified sunscreen bliss that is Sun & Sand and the classic Spiced Pumpkin — are both discounted right now. I'll take 20.

While these Yankee Candle deals should last through the end of Prime Day (July 11) in theory, don't be surprised if some of the popular scents sell out. If you see your favorite in stock, just snag it.

The first Kindle of its kind after nearly two decades, the Colorsoft features a 7-inch, glare-free display that supports a full spectrum of color. If a black and white display is a deal-breaker for you, the Colorsoft is your best (and only) bet. It also includes auto-adjusting light, 32GB of storage, a waterproof build, wireless charging, eight weeks of battery life, and no lockscreen ads.

We've previously seen the Colorsoft fall to $224.99, but this is the first time it's ever dropped below $200, let alone all the way down to $179.99. You can even get it bundled with a charging dock and a case for only $211.97. Not only is this one of the best deals I've seen on an Amazon device, but probably one of the best deals I've seen overall on Prime Day.

Prime Day is officially here (formally July 8 through 11) and Amazon is blessing us with hundreds of deals on all sorts of products, from TVs and laptops to robot vacuums and gaming consoles. But the sale isn't limited to tech — we're also seeing some deals roll in on board games.

One of the best ways to bring people of all ages together, board games are fun for the whole family. If you're looking for an indoor activity that isn't screen-related to beat the heat this summer, game night is calling. And during Prime Day, you can build up your board game arsenal for less.

We're keeping track of the best board game deals below and will update the list with any new and exciting deals that may drop as Prime Day continues.

First released in 1948, Scrabble remains one of the most popular and best word games; it's my personal favorite. Whether you're new to the classic crossword game or are a word-slinging pro, you get seven letter tiles to start creating words and building upon letters added to the board with each turn. It's more than just word creation, though — land your highest-scoring letters on special double and triple point tiles and see who can rack up the most points. It's meant for two to four players. Grab it on sale for just $11.59 at Amazon this Prime Day — that's nearly 50% off.

I review headphones, and the $200 Bose QuietComfort are a true Prime Day deal

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 02:16

SAVE 43%: The Bose QuietComfort headphones are on sale for just $199 this Prime Day, putting them $150 lower than their $349 asking price.

Opens in a new window Credit: Bose Bose QuietComfort headphones $199 at Amazon
$349 Save $150 Get Deal

The Bose QuietComfort headphones are nothing particularly fancy.

Their design is very similar to generations past in the QuietComfort line, they don't offer a form of spatial audio, and their app doesn't come with any crazy AI features. But for someone who needs a very comfortable, solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the brand's budget option is hard to beat. And with their sale price of $199, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are offering some of the best value you can find on headphones this Prime Day.

As a headphones reviewer, I've tried Bose's fancier $449 QuietComfort Ultras, the latest Sony XM6s, Sennheiser headphones — if there's a popular premium headphone out there, chances are I've tried it. But before all those headphones, the humble Bose QC 35 II's were my daily headphones. Though those have been long discontinued, the QuietComfort headphones emulate their best features well — they're incredibly comfortable, have a nice rounded sound profile, and noise-cancelling that will do the job in an office, noisy café, or on the street.

SEE ALSO: My favorite Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds — record-low prices on AirPods

Comfort-wise, I find them second only to the QuietComfort Ultras, and even then, the gap isn't wide. Plus, if you're not a fan of on-ear touch controls (like me) these QuietComfort headphones are still on an all-button system.

Again, you won't get the absolute best sound quality, and like most Bose headphones, these QuietComforts can deal with some connection issues when paired to multiple devices. But if you can look past those flaws, these headphones perform on par with much pricier models where it matters most and, at $199, are still significantly cheaper than their more expensive counterparts on sale.

The top 5 Prime Day Apple deals: Score savings on the Apple Watch, MacBooks, AirPods & iPads

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 02:03

Happy Prime Day!

While Amazon sales don't always live up to the hype, for Prime Day 2025, Amazon went hard. And that's especially true if you're an Apple loyalist, as virtually every Apple product line is now at or near record-low prices.

On the second day of the members-only sale, you can get AirPods starting at just $89. You can score the latest AirPods Pro for $149. The popular Apple Watch Series 10 and the 11-inch iPad are marked down to $279.99. And don't forget about AirTags. You can get a four-pack of AirTags for $64.99.

Remember: this year, Prime Day continues through Friday, July 11 — making this the longest Prime Day ever — and we'll be keeping a close eye on Apple prices the whole way through. However, don't wait too long to shop — the $399 AirPods Max deal is already sold out, and Prime Day isn't even halfway done.

Read on for our running guide to the best Prime Day Apple deals. And if our discount hunters spot a better deal on Apple products at Best Buy or Walmart, we'll be sure to let you know.

Check out our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

Even at full price, the M4 MacBook Air is an impressively good value, especially considering its brand. For anyone who doesn't need the heavier specs of the Pro (and the additional literal weight that comes along with that), the Air is a great machine. It can handle audio and some video editing, most tasks students will need it for, and general day-to-day tasks with ease.

At $150 off, the 13-inch Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage offers an especially good value. It's a price point that might be bested later this week in favor of the $829 record-low price we saw it briefly hit in late-June. But even if it doesn't, this current deal is still a great one to pick up.

The Apple Watch Series 10 frequently gets discounted at Amazon, but it's never dipped to $279.99 before — this is a new record-low price. It's an excellent deal on our favorite smartwatch fitness tracker, especially if you're already deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Though it's missing a blood oxygen sensor, it still works as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and wrist temperature monitor, to name just a few of its functions. Its ultra-lightweight design doesn't sacrifice a larger display that makes reading all those metrics as easy as possible.

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Pro.

For Apple fans, we have a can't-miss AirPods Prime Day deal. Even with the many noise-cancelling earbuds options on the market, the AirPods Pro remain one of the best choices for folks in the Apple ecosystem. The quick pairing can't be beat, and they are a true plug-and-play option (especially because they don't come with a companion app). The noise cancelling is some of the best you'll find on earbuds, alongside its excellent audio. Mashable's Stan Schroeder gave these earbuds a 4.1/5 in his review, noting that he'd be likely to take them on a plane over over-ear headphones, and writing of their sound "[they] did an equally good job with complex jazz performances and very heavy guitar tunes."

Check out Mashable's full review of the iPad mini.

If you know you'll mostly use your iPad to watch shows, videos, and read, you should seriously consider the iPad mini. Clocking in at 8.3 inches, this aptly named tablet is easy to hold in your hand for long periods of time, making it an especially great option for someone who wants an e-reader with some versatility (or with vibrant colors). Even though it's not powered by Apple's latest chipset, it doesn't need to be for more casual usage.

For anyone who doesn't need a tablet as powerful as a laptop, this ultraportable choice is well worth considering. And at just $379, the iPad mini has hit a new all-time low this Prime Day.

It wouldnt be Prime Day without her: 15 classic Amazon deals I wait for all year long

Thu, 07/10/2025 - 01:21

Do I know why Coleman always discounts its Sundome camping tents to under $100 during Prime Day? Not really! Do I care? Also no.

After covering Prime Day since 2019, what I do know is this: You can count on Amazon Prime Day for certain classic deals. Like Christmas music playing on the radio or Halloween candy appearing on store shelves, these classic Prime Day deals are a sign that Amazon's annual mega-event is upon us.

And as a Prime Day veteran, I can tell you that the 2025 Prime Day deals are wild. Amazon really knew we could use a breather from tariff price increases, and the retail juggernaut delivered record prices on wireless earbuds, smart home devices, outdoor gear, and even Legos. (Seriously, the wireless earbud deals are on another level this year.) We're tracking all the latest drops live, of course. But I wanted to take a break from tracking prices on the latest MacBook Pro models to revisit some familiar faces from Prime Days gone by.

Apple AirTags Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTags (4-pack) $64.99

Initially marked down to $67.99, Amazon went even lower, and you can now pick up a 4-pack of AirTags for just $64.99. Whether you use these Bluetooth trackers to keep track of your personal belongings or your toddler, it's time to restock.

Crest 3D WhiteStrips Opens in a new window Credit: Crest Crest 3D WhiteStrips teeth whitening treatment $27.99

Coleman camping tents Opens in a new window Credit: Coleman Coleman Sundome Camping Tent $89.97

As sure as the sun rises in the sky, Coleman will mark down their four-person tents to under $100 during an Amazon sale. This Prime Day is no exception.

LifeStraw emergency water filters Opens in a new window Credit: LifeStraw LifeStraw Personal Water Filter $17.49 at Amazon

In keeping with the outdoor theme, LifeStraw also has big discounts across the board come Prime Day. Their deals start cheap — for less than $10, you can grab their personal water filter.

This is a newcomer in the category, but for the last few years, Breville's brushed stainless steel espresso machines have always gotten a sizable discount for Prime Day and Black Friday.

Kindles Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (ad-supported) $124.99 at Amazon

Of course Amazon marks down their own products every sale they have, but Prime Day often brings some of the best Kindle prices of the year.

The AirPods Pro Opens in a new window Credit: Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) $149.99 at Amazon

For at least the last couple of years, Amazon uses Black Friday and Prime Day as an excuse to drop the AirPods Pro down to a new record low price. This year is no exception, with the $149.99 price beating its former best price by $4.

Bissell Little Green Opens in a new window Credit: Bissell Bissell Little Green $81.99 at Amazon

The upholstery cleaning powerhouse otherwise known as the Bissell Little Green can be found on sale year round, but reliably Prime Day brings it down to a decent, if not always fantastic, price point. Still, getting cleaner carpets for less than full price never hurts.

Instant Pots Opens in a new window Credit: InstantPot Instant Pot Duo Plus (6-quart) $69.99 at Amazon

Instant Pots may not really have the cultural cachet of a few years ago, but they're still a mainstay on the Prime Day deals page. At $69.99, this Duo Plus model is just over $10 away from its best price ever.

UltimateEars speakers Opens in a new window Credit: Ultimate Ears Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 $66.49 at Amazon

This tiny speakers are the best Bluetooth speakers under $100 even at full price, but Prime Day often brings them to a much, much lower price point. This year, you can grab them for as low as $66.49.

Flagship Roborock robot vacuums Opens in a new window Credit: Roborock roborock Saros 10R $1,279.99 at Amazon

This is less so one product we see year over year, thanks to how often new robot vacuums hit the market year after year. Still, that paves the way for Prime Day to serve as the debut many first time discounts, including this one on the Roborock Saros 10R, Mashable's newly crowned best robot vacuum.

Philips Hue Opens in a new window Credit: Philips Philips Hue Smart Light Starter Kit $89.69 at Amazon

Philips Hue color-changing bulbs may not be cheap, but they definitely set a vibe. Prime Day is an excellent time to find them on sale — this bundle in particular gets you two bulbs and a Hue Bridge, so you can unlock these bulbs' full functionality.

Echo speakers Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Echo Pop $21.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $18.00 Get Deal

Amazon Echo speakers provide the cheapest entry fee for smart speaker life. Just like with Kindles, Amazon doesn't miss a chance to mark them down during the big sale — the cheapest one you can grab is the Echo Pop at just $21.99.

If you want to go all out, this power bank can charge up to four devices at once and includes its own retractable cables.

Best Buys Black Friday in July sale is live: Save on AirPods, RTX 50 Series gaming laptops

Wed, 07/09/2025 - 23:23

UPDATE: Jul. 8, 2025, 4:45 p.m. EDT This story has been updated with more deals from Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale, including some new top picks.

Best Buy's top anti-Prime Day deals at a glance: Best Apple deal Apple AirPods 4 with ANC $149.99 (save $29.01) Get Deal Best laptop deal Microsoft Surface Pro 11, 13-inch (Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) + Keyboard Bundle $999.99 (save $369.99) Get Deal Best TV deal TCL 55-inch F35-Series 4K Fire TV $199.99 (save $130) Get Deal Best gaming deal 'Monster Hunter Wilds' (PlayStation 5) $55.99 (save $14) Get Deal Best fitness tracker deal Oura Ring 4 (Silver) $296.65 (save $52.35) Get Deal Best unlocked phone deal Google Pixel 9a (128GB) $423.99 (save $75.01) Get Deal

Best Buy is hosting a "Black Friday in July" sale from July 7 to 13. The event directly overlaps with Amazon's members-only Prime Day event, which is scheduled for July 8 through 11. Very coincidental timing, I'm sure.

Best Buy is keeping the pressure coming by releasing new deals in stores, on its website, and on its mobile app every day of its summer sale. That includes a rotating "Deal of the Day," several "Doorbusters" spotlighting popular tech, and some app-exclusive Drops featuring limited-time releases and discounts. Per the fine print, everything is available in limited quantities with no rain checks. Unlike Prime Day, though, Black Friday in July isn't exclusive members. (My Best Buy Plus and Total subscribers do earn exclusive rewards on certain purchases, but the deals themselves aren't paywalled.)

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

Best Buy has traditionally held anti-Prime Day sales in the summer, but this will be the first year its counter-programming lasts a whole week; previously, it was only three days long. It makes sense given Amazon's own unprecedented decision to extend Prime Day 2025 from two days to four.

Having covered Prime Day and other retailers' competing sales since 2019, I can tell you that Best Buy has always been one of Amazon's biggest rivals when it comes to tech deals. The two retailers will aggressively price-match the other's discounts where their inventories overlap. Just to give some examples, I noticed that Best Buy lowered some of its initial Apple AirPod, AirTag, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy smartphone deals on the second day of its sale this week to match Amazon's newly live Prime Day prices. (The two seem to keep a very close eye on one another.) If Best Buy has any advantage over Amazon, it's that it has a better selection of deals on high-end Windows laptops and big-screen TVs.

After spending a few hours sifting through Best Buy's Black Friday in July listings, I've rounded up a list of the best anti-Prime Day deals I've spotted so far there. Note that struck-through deals were sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Best Apple deals

My Best Buy Plus and Total members get up to $50 in rewards with every AirPods purchase.

Read our full review of the AirPods 4.

Apple's latest set of non-Pro AirPods ditch the old design for a more comfortable fit, active noise cancellation, a four-hour battery life, and a better charging case.

"I spent nearly eight hours with the AirPods 4 in my ears. As I hinted in my hands-on review, the AirPods 4 sounded like honey to my ears — and even more so when ANC was on," said Mashable's former Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon. "While I was at the airport, sounds of coo-ing babies, loud conversations, and rolling luggage were significantly reduced, allowing me to sink deeper into some of my favorite Apple Music playlists."

Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale matches Amazon's Prime Day price at $149.99, so you can be sure you're getting the best deal possible.

This Microsoft Surface Pro 11 model is also on sale for Prime Day at just $849.99, and while that seems like a better deal on its face, it's actually not as good — it doesn't come with a Surface Pro keyboard, which is really kind of the whole point of having a 2-in-1 laptop in the first place. The keyboard can be bought separately on Amazon for $149.99, but that'd bring you back up to Best Buy's combined price if you buy that and the tablet. So, might as well get everything in one place.

Out of every 55-inch TV we've seen on sale during Prime Day 2025, this is the cheapest we've found at just $199.99 (usually $329.99). It's ironic, because this is an Amazon Fire TV, but its best price across retailers is at Best Buy. You simply have to laugh!

"The Oura Ring 4 is absolutely worth it, particularly if you have an iPhone," said former Mashable Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon in her review.

During the Black Friday in July sale, the Oura Ring 4 hit a record-low price of just $296.95, which matches Amazon's Prime Day deal.

The Google Pixel 9a is a relatively new smartphone release from the tech giant, and it hit a record-low price during Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale — just $423.99, or $75.01 off the usual price. We loved this phone during our review period, and it even topped our list of the best budget smartphones in 2025.

"For the price, you're getting a solid smartphone with a decent processor (the same as the Pixel 9), excellent battery life, and good cameras," said Mashable's Alex Perry in their review. "In fact, it makes the Pixel 9 seem obsolete."

TL;DR: Create anything, even NSFW art, with a lifetime subscription to Imagiyo for only A$45.

Imagiyo uses Stable Diffusion AI alongside FLUX AI to turn text prompts into high-quality images ready for commercial use, and there aren’t many limits to what you can create. Here’s what that means.

What do you want to make first? It only takes a brief description to put Imagiyo’s advanced algorithms to work, and unlike other image generators, Imagiyo actually lets you really follow your creativity. Craft stunning landscapes, visualize characters from books, or go for something a little more daring. Imagiyo supports NSFW content creation.

The best way to save big on Prime Day? Shop refurbished deals.

Wed, 07/09/2025 - 23:04

Best Prime Day deals on refurbished products Best overall deal Ninja Swirl 283.69 (save $50.06) Get Deal Best Apple deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M3, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $976.83 (save $244.20) Get Deal Best kitchen deal Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine $368.92 (save $158.12) Get Deal Best audio deal Sony WH-1000XM4 $120.80 (save $51.76) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day can be a great time to pick up new tech, kitchen gear, and pretty much anything else you can think of on sale — but it might just be an even better time to buy refurbished products.

SEE ALSO: 150+ Prime Day deals — best-ever prices on Apple, Ninja, and Samsung

Welcome to the world of the Amazon Resale (formerly known as Amazon Warehouse) store. It features open-box and used products, all of which have been tested and verified to be fit for resale. And in honor of Prime Day, Prime members get extra discounts on many of these products. The Ninja Creami that hasn't gone on sale brand new? It's $50 off in the Resale store. A 15-inch MacBook with an M3 chip, 24GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage? It'll run you $1,249 brand new, but just $976.83 for a "like new" condition. Or maybe you still can't quite justify the $550 sale price on the Breville espresso machine? No problem — it's in "very good" condition and on sale for $369.

Speaking of the condition you'll find them in — all of the deals we selected below are either in "like new" or "very good" conditions, which according to Amazon means they were very gently used, might just be an open box product, or have some minor cosmetic imperfections or be missing non-essential accessories (which will be listed in product descriptions).

Below, you'll find the 14 best deals we've found by combing through the available Amazon Resale pages. And yes, we confirmed that all of them are for significantly better prices than their used counterparts.

Check out our full review of the Ninja Swirl.

It's always a bummer when some of our favorite products don't go on sale for Prime Day, especially ones as seasonally appropriate as the soft-serve making Ninja Swirl. While you may not be able to get the $350 ice cream maker on sale brand new, you can get a used one — in "very good" condition — for just $283.69. From its own used price, that saves you about $50. From its price brand new, you'll save $66.

Even at full price, Mashable's Sam Mangino deemed this ice cream maker worth the price, saying it brings together the best parts of the Creami, with the addition that "soft serve or froyo fiends will love the new dispensing feature, which is exceptionally easy to use and, not to mention, really fun."

9 creator-approved gadgets on sale during Prime Day — DJI, Octobuddy & Canon deals

Wed, 07/09/2025 - 23:00

Perhaps nobody understands the tools needed to navigate the modern world better than creators. They're the folks who need to create content quickly, on the go, and still make it look beautiful enough for long-form YouTube content. They need to be able to snap a wonderful picture for Instagram or record a POV video for TikTok at a moment's notice.

It makes sense, then, that you'd want to take an influencer's recommendation for tech gadgets. After all, who would have more experience? So, that's exactly what we've been doing in advance of Prime Day 2025.

Mashable recently launched an entire series called In My Bag in which creators reveal the essential tools of their trade. Relying on that series, and our own considerable knowledge of the tech space, we've combed through Amazon's Prime Day deals to find the best discounts on creator-approved, must-have gadgets.

A smartphone gimbal stabilizer Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone $125

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth has been testing this newly released DJI phone gimbal for iPhones, and he's been impressed by how easy it is to use. (Yes, it works with Android devices, too.) These smartphone tripods and stabilizers adjust in real time to provide professional-quality footage from your smartphone. Even though DJI just released this smartphone gimbal in 2025, it's gotten a Prime Day price drop to $129.

$29.99 Save $6 Get Deal

Uber-popular influencer Alix Earle first made this clip-on selfie light viral, which is actually called the Newmowa 60-LED High-Power Selfie Light. It's easy to comprehend why creators love this little light. It's convenient — you can clip it onto your phone, computer, or just about anything else — and it immediately provides powerful, flattering lighting. And at $23.99, that's the lowest-ever price for the light on Amazon.

A drone perfect for creators Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Neo mini 4K camera drone $199 at Amazon

Creators often need stellar aerial shots, and the DJI Neo mini drone is certainly capable of that. As we've covered at Mashable, the compact, lightweight drone is discounted 20% this Prime Day. For less than two Benjamins, your videos could take a major step up. This mini drone offers 4K video and can launch from the palm of your hand — no piloting license required.

The Joby GorillaPod tripod was a favorite when we spoke with tech creators at VidCon 2025. It's discounted 15% for Prime Day, priced at $59.48. It's a durable, compact tripod that lets you attach your camera to just about anything, just about anywhere. It's perfect for content creators who might need to shoot at a moment's notice.

A hard drive might not be the most fun purchase, but it is eminently usable. (These drives always go on sale for Prime Day.) Creators, especially, need to have storage available at all times. SanDisk's 1TB Extreme Portable hard drive is 40% off, priced at $77.99 for Amazon's 2025 Prime Day. That's a solid deal on a very practical piece of tech.

The Sony camera designed to vlog Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony ZV-1 digital camera $699.99 at Best Buy

Sony designed this camera specifically for vloggers and creators, and it's discounted $100 at Best Buy, a solid deal you won't find at Amazon. The ZV-1 has lots of features that are appealing for creators, such as WiFi capability, image stabilization, different shooting modes (such as portrait or night), and a flippable screen that allows you to see your shot in real time.

A suction-cup phone mount from Octobuddy Opens in a new window Credit: Octobuddy Octobuddy silicone suction mount $11.99 at Amazon
$14.99 Save $3 Get Deal

Not every gadget has to be fancy. Sometimes you just need a suction-cup-clad phone mount so you can slap your device on a wall and film. The Octobuddy phone mount, a silicone pad with the aforementioned suction cups, is a favorite among creators for its simplicity and reliability.

"[My] most essential tool is [the] Octobuddy phone mount, which lets me film almost anywhere" food creator Tess Gigone told Mashable for our In My Bag series. "Most of my videos happen in my kitchen, where I attach my phone to the window in front of me."

The Octobuddy is priced at $11.99 for Prime Day, a 20% discount.

A discounted Canon camera Opens in a new window Credit: Canon Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera $549 at Amazon
$649.99 Save $100.99 Get Deal

It's 2025 and creators increasingly need high-quality footage to do their jobs. The Canon EOS R100 promises 4K footage while still remaining light and relatively affordable. It's 16% off for Amazon's Prime Day, priced at $549. It should provide everything a creator needs — especially those just getting started — while not totally breaking the bank like other cameras.

A podcasting mic Opens in a new window Credit: Logitech Logitech Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone $90.24 at Amazon
$139.99 Save $49.75 Get Deal

In our Starter Kit series, we talked to experts about all the best tools needed to launch a podcast, and that definitely includes the Blue Yeti USB microphone. For Prime Day, you can pick up this popular podcasting and livestreaming microphone for under $100 at Amazon.

If you're ready to do some shopping, the big summer sales are officially on. Retailers like Target and Walmart have their own major events happening right now, acting as direct competition for Amazon Prime Day.

Home Depot is in on the action, too. Its Fourth of July sale is in its final stretch, running through the end of the day today (Wednesday, July 9). This is your last chance to find discounts on everything from home improvement essentials to electronics that compete with Amazon's deals.

Shoppers can find savings of up to 40% on select items. We're seeing major discounts on patio furniture, grills, home appliances, and power tools, plus gardening supplies, bathtubs, vanities, and much more. If there's a home improvement project you've been putting off or an appliance you'd like to upgrade, now is the time to buy.

You may or may not know that Home Depot also covers core Prime Day categories, with deals on vacuums, small kitchen appliances from brands like Ninja, and smart home gadgets like Nest thermostats. There's a good chance Home Depot has brands and models on sale that Amazon skipped, and you don't need a special membership to get the deals.

Below, you can find some of the best deals live right now during the final day of Home Depot's Fourth of July sale. For the items that Home Depot doesn't sell, check out our other coverage of the best Prime Day deals at Amazon, including TVs, headphones, and Apple products.

If you're spending some time out in the sun, why not get your grill on? You can do just that and more with this combination pellet grill and smoker from Traeger.

It features a Digital Pro Controller that lets you set the temperature in 25-degree increments and maintains that heat consistently, so you get reliable results every time. It's the "set it and forget it" style of cooking that lets you focus on other things instead of babysitting the grill.

Built on a sturdy sawhorse chassis with all-terrain wheels, this grill is easy to move around your patio or deck. It’s perfect for serving up everything from burgers and ribs to smoked veggies this summer. This bad boy has you covered for all the grilling essentials.

Home Depot has a ton of power tools on sale right now, but few hit as hard as the full 50% discount on the M18 Fuel impact wrench from Milwaukee. Once $598, this cordless impact wrench set can be snagged for less than $300. The 18V battery can dish out up to 650 pounds of torque for even the most stubborn bolts and lug nuts in your disassembly projects. Even with so much power, it barely weighs over five pounds.

The most underrated robot vacuum of 2025 so far, the Eufy E20 3-in-1, is on sale for $349.99 at both Home Depot and Amazon for the big summer sales. (Note that it actually retails for $649.99: Home Depot's $549.99 list price is deflated by $100.) This versatile vac is a robot vacuum with smart mapping that can convert into a full-sized cordless stick vacuum or handheld vacuum in seconds. During my testing at home, I was highly impressed at the suction power each variation could supply — Eufy didn't cut corners just to be able to make the "3-in-1" claim.

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

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.

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

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.

Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $849 at Amazon
$999 Save $150 Get Deal Why we like it

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

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).

Best Prime Day deal on budget wireless earbuds Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Anker Soundcore P20i 🔥 $18.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $21.00 Get Deal Why we like it

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.
