We're in the midst of Prime Day, Amazon's annual flagship sale, which runs from June 23 to 26, and plenty of Amazon devices are on sale. We always expect some of the best deals during Prime Day to be on Amazon's very own devices, and that's playing out no differently this year. Prices have been slashed on Amazon devices, with discounts of up to 65%.

Some of the biggest savings are on Amazon Fire TVs. Every size and a variety of brands are all on sale, saving you hundreds of dollars on 4K TVs. But there are also some big savings on home security and smart home devices, too.

While the lead-up to this sale already had many of the deals live, Kindles were finally discounted with the sale's official start on June 23. Our favorite deal is on the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which dropped to its lowest price ever.

Here are all the Prime Day deals on Amazon devices available now:

$79.99 Save $35.00   Get Deal

Echo prices dropped in the week leading up to Prime Day. The latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, both hit new, all-time low prices. But the biggest discount is on the Amazon Echo Spot, the 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.

During Prime Day, get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

There's nothing better than a smart TV that provides access to all your favorite streaming services, no extraneous streaming sticks or devices needed. During Prime Day, Fire TV sales are plentiful. The best deal is on the Toshiba 43-inch Class C350 LED 4K Smart TV, which is down to $159.99, saving you $140 off. We're keeping our fingers crossed it drops back down to its pre-Prime Day price of $138.98. Still, this 4K TV is great, coming equipped with Dolby Vision Atmos for clearer sound and picture for the best possible viewing experience.

TV deals move fast during big sales, so if this deal looks good to you, buy it quick before it sells out.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a Kindle, and the prices on these e-readers reflect that. The Paperwhite Signature Edition is Mashable's top pick for the best upgraded Kindle, and for good reason. It has 32GB of storage — more than any other Kindle (minus the Scribe) — and auto-adjusting screen brightness, so it's ready for reading in any situation. Even at its full $200 list price, we think it's an e-reader worthy of heavy consideration. At $145, it easily offers the best value for serious readers.

Check out our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.

Looking to boost your home's security? Blink's latest outdoor cameras are getting some serious markdowns during Prime Day, with a one-camera system on sale for as little as $34.99. We recommend grabbing a three-camera setup if you want to get the most bang for your buck. Usually, this bundle runs you $219.99, but Prime Day slashes 66% off the price, bringing it down to just $74.99.

What's most surprising about the deals on Amazon devices is how limited the Fire tablet deals are. Maybe Amazon is just being conservative, or maybe it's signaling that some changes are coming. Either way, the best deal on Fire tablets is on the Amazon Fire HD 8, a small, perfectly portable tablet that's under $100. Get it for just $89.99 during Prime Day, saving you $40.

Summer is the ideal time to tackle home DIY projects. The paint will dry quicker, there are more hours of daylight, and maybe even some friends around to help out. If you have a list of home and yard projects to take care of this summer, make sure you have the necessary tools. Nothing sidelines a weekend project quite like realizing you need to run to the hardware store.

The best noise-cancelling and open earbud deals on Prime Day: Shop AirPods, Bose, and picks under $100

Amazon Prime Day is here and so are the earbud deals. This year's Prime Day runs June 23 to 26, but the sale was hot before it even began.

The actual start date felt like a bit of a formality after the AirPods Pro 3 hit record low prices twice this week. They even dropped to $169 at Walmart on June 18, knocking $80 off the normal $249 price.

Other notable buds, like the Sony XM6 earbuds, second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, and Nothing earbuds, are all on sale. Below, we've rounded up all the best Prime Day earbud deals you can grab right now.

Looking for over-ear headphones? Check out our guide to the best Prime Day headphones deals. And be sure to follow along with all other categories and deals in Mashable's Prime Day hub.

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 dropped down to a record low price of $179 ahead of Prime Day, but then the price dropped even lower before the sale's official start. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, the Pro 3 buds got down to $169 at Amazon, but at the time of writing, that specific deal is gone. Now that Prime Day has officially started, you can still find them for $179 and in stock at both Amazon and Best Buy. If the price drops back down to $169 again, we'll be sure to sound the alarm.

The EarFun Air Pro 4 are the best earbuds you've probably never heard of. They're our top pick for noise-cancelling earbuds under $100 on a normal day. Now that they're down to just slightly over $50 for Prime Day, we can't recommend them enough. We struggled to find the flaws of these budget-friendly buds upon testing. They offer excellent battery life and noise cancellation (which has manually adjustable levels), multipoint connectivity, a well-rounded sound profile, and obviously, a price that's hard to beat.

The Sony LinkBuds Clip give the ultra-popular Bose Ultra Open earbuds a run for their money. In my head-to-head testing of the two pairs of earbuds, I found that while the Bose buds generally lean louder, the Sony earbuds have a more detailed sound profile, making for an overall superior listening experience. They also have a longer battery life, delivering nine hours per charge, where the Bose earbuds deliver seven. With both earbuds on sale, there's only a 99-cent price discrepancy between the two, but if you don't anticipate using these earbuds in many noisy situations, the Sony earbuds are likely the way to go.

One of the biggest shopping events of the year is here.

Amazon Prime Day is now in full swing, and we're in for big savings between June 23 and 26. To help Mashable readers find the best Prime Day gaming deals, we sent our most dedicated gamers on a quest to find the top discounts on gaming consoles, headsets, Samsung gaming monitors, and more

It's no secret that the gaming world has seen a huge wave of price increases in 2026. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set for a price hike later this year, and let's not even talk about the price of the Steam Machine. With this in mind, you should take advantage of Prime Day gaming deals while you still can.

A gaming monitor has the power to change the whole gaming experience. Go curved, and you'll never go back to a dull, flat screen. Lucky for us, the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 has a 1000R curve, and it's on sale for a massive 42% off for Prime Day, coming in at just under $190 instead of the list price of $329.99. It's also worth noting that the 27-inch model is on sale for about $200, which makes the lower price on the 32-inch model a fantastic snag.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 comes with game-worthy specs like a 165Hz refresh rate, AMD Radeon FreeSync, and a glare-free display.

We often think of gaming as an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be if gaming items are multi-functional. For example, the 65-inch TCL ClassQM6K QLED TV can serve as your gaming display as well as your TV. Pair this with the sale price of $527.99, and things are looking a lot more realistic, price-wise.

The TCL has a native refresh rate of up to 144Hz for crisp and quick gaming. The refresh rate is also excellent if you're sitting down to enjoy watching World Cup games this summer. TCL has the list price for the 65-inch ClassQM6K QLED TV set at $799.99, but Amazon's Prime Day sale takes 33% off.

Best gaming headset - SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X $79.99 at Amazon
$109.95 Save $29.96   Get Deal Why we like it

SteelSeries is one of the best brands in gaming headsets. It comes with audio presets for some of the most popular titles like Call of Duty and Fortnite, so you can dominate games even more. Being able to hear the footsteps of your opponents is crucial to landing victories. The headset is both durable and comfortable, weighing only 260G while its dual-hinge design gives it a sturdy frame.

The battery lasts for up to 40 hours, and just a 15-minute quick charge restores up to 9 hours of playback. This way, you're always ready to jump back into the game. And under $100? Count us in.

Best deal for kids - Nex Playground Console Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Nex Playground $310 at Amazon
$388 Save $78   Get Deal Why we like it

The Nex Playground is the perfect gaming console for kids as it includes child-friendly games such as Fruit Ninja, Whac-a-Mole, and Party Fowl. With a Play Pass subscription, you'll get access to more than 30 other games too. Luckily, this bundle contains a 12-month free pass. It's incredibly easy to set up, as you just need to connect an HDMI cable to your TV, and its small form factor keeps it out of the way for kids.

Even better, you don't need a controller! It uses its built-in camera and AI motion tracking to let kids take control while playing. Up to four players can participate at a time, so there's always room for a party. The Nex Playground exploded in popularity last year, and now it's hardly on sale anymore, so here's your chance to save.

Best Nintendo Switch deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499 at Amazon
  Get Deal Why we like it

This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle may not technically be an actual Prime Day deal, but it's still worth picking up if you're looking to buy the console. Not only do you get the Switch 2 itself as well as a pair of included Joy-Con controllers, but you also get a game of your choice. You can select from the popular titles Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Pokémon Pokopia, which can save you some additional cash. It's cheaper to buy this bundle than the Switch 2 base console and a game, and we can vouch for all three titles as excellent starter games. And if you're going to buy a Switch 2, now's the time to do so: Nintendo is raising the price from $449.99 to $499.99 on Sept. 1.

The best deals on noise-cancelling headphones for Prime Day — shop Apple, Bose, and Sony

Amazon Prime Day is upon us once more, running June 23 through June 26, and some of our favorite noise-cancelling audio products are marked down to record-low prices.

There are deals on flagship models from Sony, Bose, and Apple. But it's not just the $400+ flagship headphones getting discounts. The mid-range Nothing Headphone (a) are down to $151.05, while one of our budget-friendly favorites, the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, are just $10 away from a record low price.

Earbuds have an impressive showing too, with the AirPods Pro 3 down in price, plus markdowns on the newer Sony XM6 buds. You can also pick up the CMF by Nothing Buds 2 for just $23.27, making them the cheapest option on our list.

We'll be updating this guide as the sale continues, so keep checking in for updates.

The Sony XM6 headphones aren't a must-upgrade if you already own the XM5s — in fact, we find the two quite similar. That said, the XM6 headphones are a much more palatable upgrade at a sub-$400 price range, and bring the added convenience of folding ear cups, which is especially handy if you anticipate using them for travel often (which their excellent ANC does make them a great candidate for). At the time of writing, every color option is discounted, though a few finishes are off by about a dollar, depending on which one you pick.

The AirPods Pro have long been a great choice for any Apple power user, and the third generation of the earbuds is no different. In fact, it fills even more gaps than its predecessors. In addition to its solid sound quality and top notch ANC, these earbuds come in with live translation features, and a built-in heart rate monitor. At their full price, they're already on the cheaper end of premium flagship earbuds, but at $179.99, they're nearly unbeatable value.

Amazon's twelfth annual Prime Day sale is live now through June 26. There are dozens of genuinely good tech deals up for grabs this week (check out our running master list). But the headphones and earbuds deals are looking abnormally great, even for Prime Day.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is here: We found 75+ deals on Apple, Sony, Kindle, and Lego favorites

Some standouts from the second day of the sale include record-low prices on the Apple AirPods Max 2, the Bose QuietComfort headphones, Sony's flagship XM6 earbuds and headphones, its last-gen XM5 headphones, and two of our favorite open earbuds. Soundcore also has a solid selection of Prime Day deals, with the budget-friendly Space One headphones and P30i earbuds both hitting new all-time lows for Prime members.

On this page, you can find all of the best Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds. (Deals marked with a strikethrough weren't available at the time of writing, but could return later this week.) You can also visit our Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest updates and price drops.

In the face-off between the Sony XM5 vs XM6 headphones, most times I'd recommend the XM5s, especially if you don't care about folding ear cups. And while the XM5s are down to a new all-time low this Prime Day, so are the XM6s. Get the latest iteration of Sony's flagship headphones for just $378 and save $81.99.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are some of the best I've tried, but even at their sale price, they're a hefty investment. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds don't quite match up in sound quality, they still have some of the best noise cancellation available, and are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. For $249 (normally $299), or roughly $17 less, they're the deal to beat this Prime Day.

Bose was the near-undisputed champion of open earbuds with top-notch sound — that is, until the Sony LinkBuds Clip came along. In my head-to-head testing of the earbuds, I found that while the Bose Ultra Open buds can get louder (an important feature in open earbuds), the clarity and detail of the sound in the Sony buds surpassed that of the Bose. Even though their price discrepancy is only $20 this Prime Day, the sub-$200 price point on the Sony earbuds is hard to pass up.

The best Prime Day deals on DJI creator tools — we vetted deals on wireless mics, drones, and cameras

Mashable - 2 hours 36 min ago
The best DJI Prime Day deals at a glance: Best drone deal DJI Mini 3 $269 at Amazon (save $150) Get Deal Best new release DJI Mic 3 $219 at Amazon (save $110) Get Deal Best camera deal DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo $169 at Amazon (save $60) Get Deal Cult-Favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Gimbal camera $378 at Amazon (save $121) Get Deal Best DJI Gimbal Deal DJI Osmo 7P Gimbal for Smartphones $99 at Amazon (save $30) Get Deal Budget Pick DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) $79 at Amazon (save $20) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day is officially here, and if you've had your eye on any DJI gear, now's the time to click "add to cart."

In case you haven't heard, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially added foreign-produced drones and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to its national security Covered List on December 22, 2025. This means DJI isn't allowed to import or sell any new drone models moving forward (so a future Mavic 5 Pro is out). That also means you can only buy DJI drones at Amazon from third-party sellers here in the United States, which is a bummer.

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

The good news? Anything that already secured FCC approval before the cutoff — like the Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, and Neo 2 — is legal to buy, own, and fly. So, if you want to grab a beginner-friendly drone or stock up on discounted backup batteries, action cams, and creator gear, Prime Day is likely your best window to get them on sale before the inventory dries up.

Many of the DJI products in this guide — like the DJI Mini Mini, the DJI Mic 3, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and the DJI Osmo 7P Gimbal — have been personally tested and recommended by Mashable product reviewers, so we can vouch for them.

Best Prime Day DJI drone deal DJI Mini 3 $269 at Amazon
$419 Save $150   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Why we like it

Right now, you can get the DJI Mini 3 for $269, down from $419. That's a 36% discount or a $150 savings. It's also a jump from where we saw it earlier this morning, if you can believe it (it was $381). This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model to date.

The DJI Mini 3 is a level up from the DJI Mini 4K, which is a more budget-friendly pick for entry-level fliers (and at just $209, a steal). It weighs less than 249g, features 4K HDR video with True Vertical Shooting (ideal for photographers or real estate agents), and has a 38-minute max flight time.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo includes an extension rod, three batteries (two more than the Standard Combo), and a multifunctional battery case, and it's currently on sale for $169 — a new record-low price.

The camera itself features a 1/1.3-inch sensor for shooting in low-light conditions, as well as 4K video capabilities at up to 120fps with a 155-degree ultra-wide field of view. It offers up to 150 minutes of battery life and it works in temperatures as low as -20°C. It's even waterproof to depths of 18m, making it an ideal choice for vlogging your outdoor adventures.

The DJI Mic 3 is on sale for $219, down from $329. This is another all-time low price for a Mashable-tested wireless microphone kit.

The Mic 3 is a compact wireless microphone system designed for creators, podcasters, and interviewers who need quality audio while on the go. It supports up to four transmitters, features adaptive gain control and selectable noise cancellation, and uses dual-band transmission for clear audio in busy environments. You'll get up to 28 hours of battery life with the charging case, so it's great for long hours of recording. Not to mention, it has compatibility with a huge range of DJI devices.

As always with Pokémon deals, the best offers probably won’t sit around for long. Trading card prices can jump quickly once a popular set drops closer to market value, and anything tied to newer releases tends to disappear fast during big shopping events.

To help cut through the noise, Mashable has rounded up the Pokémon deals actually worth checking out right now, whether you’re chasing cards, grabbing a game, or picking up a gift before prices climb again.

Here are the best Prime Day Pokémon deals available now.

This booster box set comes with 36 booster packs to open, all collected from the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising expansion. It has over 120 cards to collect with a wide variety of different Mega Evolution Pokémon. This is a great way to expand your collection and try to chase down some of the more expensive cards from the set all at once, at a significant discount.

Part of the latest expansion currently available, the Chaos Rising expansion's Booster Bundle is a great way to invest in the Pokémon TCG's new Mega Evolution collection of cards — with only six packs, it won't break the bank as much as the much more expensive 36-pack Booster Display Box. With its $8 price cut for Prime Day, you'll now only be paying $8.60 per Chaos Rising Booster pack instead of $9.99.

Apples foldable iPhone Ultra probably wont be late after all

Mashable - 2 hours 39 min ago

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone "Ultra" is reportedly about to go into production, despite earlier updates that Apple is struggling with some of its components.

According to Korea's The Elec, Apple will begin mass production of the foldable iPhone in "late July."

SEE ALSO: iOS 27 adds long-desired iPhone volume control feature

The company is reported to have finalized the key specifications for the device, which is one of the final steps before the phone can enter production. The phone will likely launch in September as Apple originally intended.

The production issue that Apple had encountered reportedly had to do with the phone's hinge. According to The Elec, the 3D-printed hinge module for the foldable iPhone will be supplied by two companies, Taiwan's Hsinchu Hsing and U.S.'s Amphenol. During the development of the hinge, several issues arose, including larger than expected tolerances, higher defect rates, and noises that started appearing after durability testing.

However, the outlet's source says that "most of these issues have now been resolved."

The news follows a similar recent report from China, which claimed that component deliveries for the foldable iPhone have begun in small batches, and that suppliers were receiving guidance for a planned September launch.

While testing tablets, I've learned a few things. Yes, iPads really are that good, but also, Android tablets are vastly underrated. With Prime Day running June 23 to 26, I'm focused on which tablets we're actually seeing on sale. Usually, iPads take big price cuts. Plus, I want to see premium Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra reach new all-time low prices.

We will be regularly updating this guide with the best tablet deals, so keep checking back. You can also visit our Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest updates and price drops or our live blog for the most up-to-date deals, news, and stock alerts.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 surprised me when I tested it. For under $400, it's a speedy device that's as user-friendly as any iPad I've tested. Plus, the user interface is similar to iOS devices for those looking to switch over. I've been tracking the price on it since testing it, and it's rarely on sale, but right now you can grab the OnePlus Pad Go 2 ahead of Prime Day for just $319.99, saving you $80.

"If there's ever been a phone to make you ditch Apple, this is it." That's what Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth said in his Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review. The phone even earned a Mashable Choice Award. With that kind of praise, of course we're excited to see it get a price cut at Amazon Prime Day.

The unlocked, 512GB model in all colorways is currently on sale for $1,134.99 (beating the previous lowest-ever price of $1,199.99). If you've been looking for a phone upgrade, this is quite an awesome deal to jump on. Werth also adds in the review, "for dedicated Android users — or anyone who loves big phones and hates Liquid Glass — the S26 Ultra is worth the investment."

For gamers looking to splash out on a fancy PC monitor upgrade, this deal on the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is definitely worth a look. Right now, it's dropped to its lowest-ever price at Amazon of $664.99 for Prime Day. Compared to its full price of $999.99, this is a great opportunity to save $335 on it.

It's quite an exciting upgrade, too. Boasting a 49-inch 1000R curved screen with QHD Ultra Wide 1440p resolution, you'll feel completely absorbed in every detail and color that pops up on its screen. It also has a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, so games will run smoothly and responsively.

Looking for a durable wearable to take on your many adventures this summer? The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate smartwatch upgrade to help you out. It's definitely worth a look, especially now that Amazon's knocked over $200 off its price tag, bringing it down from $649.99 to $434.99.

Alongside a variety of fitness features and health and sleep tracking features, our hands-on review from Kimberly Gedeon highlights that it's "designed for rugged adventurers." It can "handle temperatures between -4 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can tolerate deep-sea diving and other challenging environments." If it seems like the kind of fit for your lifestyle, this is an excellent time to scoop it up.

Amazon Prime Day is here once again, and there are plenty of deals on offer for anyone with a Nintendo Switch on their wishlist. Several of our favorite Switch and Switch 2 games and accessories are discounted right now, with more to come.

The four-day sale kicked off with a wide selection of goodies to claim, including a bundle with the actual console itself. The Switch 2 turns 1 this month and is set for a price increase to $499.99 on Sept. 1 rather than a cut. The real savings you'll find right now are on games and accessories.

Ready to shop? We've curated the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals here for you to add to your cart right now. We'll keep this guide updated as the sale goes on, so keep checking back to find the best Switch and Switch 2 discounts like the ones below.

  Get Deal Why we like it

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backward compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

It also features an integrated charging dock so you can always stay charged up, no matter what kind of schedule you keep. Plus, it has a slew of customizable features you can change up for different games, offering a much more bombastic experience than a Joy-Con controller.

Huge deals on 65-inch TVs for Prime Day: Up to $1,000 off 2026 TCL mini QLED TVs and LG OLED TVs

Mashable - 2 hours 44 min ago
A glance at the best deals on 65-inch TVs during Prime Day Best 65-inch QLED TV deal TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,497.99 at Amazon (save $1,000) Get Deal Best 65-inch OLED TV deal LG 65-inch C6 OLED 4K TV $1,999.99 at Best Buy (save $700) Get Deal Best budget 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM64L Mini LED QLED Fire TV $529.99 at Amazon (save $270) Get Deal Best Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon (save $200) Get Deal

You may not have needed a new TV during Black Friday or even during Amazon's Spring Sale. But this summer, it might be a different story. Whether you're moving homes in the popular June through August window or simply noticed that your current TV sucks while watching the World Cup, Prime Day is a really smart time to buy a TV.

If you're not sure what size TV to get, the internet will probably tell you that 65 inches is the most palatable size. That's big enough to be seen from 10 feet away, but not so massive that you'll get a headache in a close-knit living space. A 65-inch TV is also more likely to fit comfortably on the average TV stand than if you bumped up to 75 inches.

SEE ALSO: 15+ streaming services you can get for 99 cents, plus more early Prime Day streaming deals

Prime Day TV deals are consistently so good that you'll easily be able to snag a 65-inch TV for the typical price of a smaller model. Through the end of Prime Day 2026 on June 26, I'm tracking all of the most worthwhile deals on 65-inch TVs that are live at Amazon, plus (really good) competing deals from Best Buy. Many are 2026 models that just came out in the spring, already on sale at a new record-low price.

Best 65-inch TV Prime Day deal TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,497.99 at Amazon
$2,499.99 Save $1,002.00 Plus, get a 55-inch TCL Q65 TV for free Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Just released in April 2026, the TCL Q8ML is the successor to TCL's popular QM8K TV. The single letter change in the title doesn't quite cover the difference in lighting tech here. The SQD Q8ML series features "super quantum dot mini LEDs," which are essentially an extra-bright version of regular quantum dots that are able to reproduce 100 percent of the BT2020 color spectrum. In dark rooms, the 4,000 local dimming zones packed into the Q8ML provide much sharper contrast than a regular mini LED TV.

If you're curious, you can snag the 65-inch TCL Q8ML for $1,499.99 at Amazon — a casual $1,000 off its debut price of $2,499.99.

Best 65-inch Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon
$1,099.99 Save $200   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Amazon gives its own Fire TVs a good amount of attention during Prime Day, of course. Despite the discounts, Amazon Fire TVs typically still aren't the best bang for your buck compared to 4K TVs from other brands. However, the Prime Day deal on the 65-inch Amazon Ember Artline is actually a really good value for the money.

Only recently released, the Amazon Ember Artline is Amazon's version of a matte art TV. The big deal here is that the Ember Artline comes with a frame color of your choice: Choose from 10 options, including walnut, ash, black oak, fig, graphite, matte white, midnight blue, pale gold, silver, and teak. (Without paying extra, The Frame locks you into black and the Hisense Canvas locks you into teak.)

It's Amazon Prime Day, which officially runs from June 23 through 26, and there are plenty of live deals to shop during the sale.

Besides offering three free months of both Kindle Unlimited and Audible to new subscribers, Amazon also has some pretty great discounts on books themselves. I'm not usually one to recommend purchasing physical books via Amazon (support local book stores!), but it's pretty hard to pass up a 50% price drop on a book you've had on your TBR.

The best Prime Day deals on gaming laptop: Shop Acer, ASUS, and more starting at $1,099.99

The best Prime Day gaming laptop deals: Best overall Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI $1,599.99 (save $600) Get Deal Best MSI deal MSI Katana 15 HX $1,829.99 (save $370) Get Deal Best budget deal Acer Nitro V 16S AI $1,099.99 (save $300) Get Deal

Amazon’s Prime Day sale is officially into day two, and the retailer’s gaming laptop deals are dropping hard across various brands to save you cash on top-tier models.

Now that the main sale is in full swing, we’re seeing major discounts on machines built for much more than just everyday browsing. These include RTX-powered laptops, high-refresh-rate displays, sizeable SSDs, and models that can handle the latest PC games without needing a full desktop setup.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is here: We found 75+ deals on Apple, Sony, Kindle, and Lego favorites

Gaming laptops can be tricky to shop for during a big sales event, with specs, third-party sellers, and inflated list prices all worth checking carefully so you don't get stuck with an outdated processor. Mashable has gone through the live offers and picked out the best gaming laptop deals worth considering before the sale wraps up.

With that, here are the very best Prime Day deals you can find right now.

Best overall deal Opens in a new window Credit: Acer Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI (Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,599.99 at Amazon
$2,199.99 Save $600.00   Get Deal Why we like it

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is a strong pick if you want an upper-midrange machine that handles modern titles without settling for baseline graphics. For Prime Day, Amazon has it on sale for $1,599.99, knocking a full $600 off the $2,199.99 list price.

That price drop buys you a 16-inch display driven by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. While many laptops on sale around this price bracket default to lower-tier 5050 or 5060 cards, the 5070 Ti tier offers a step up in performance. This means you can run demanding single-player games like Cyberpunk 2077 or competitive multiplayer shooters at higher graphical settings while safely using features like ray tracing and DLSS upscaling.

Best MSI gaming laptop deal MSI Katana 15 HX (Intel Core i9-14900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,829.99 at Amazon
$2,199.99 Save $370.00   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The Katana 15 HX isn't carrying an official Amazon Prime Day badge, and its 17% discount isn't the deepest cut we've seen this week, but we're highlighting it here based on its performance history.

PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) named it the best gaming laptop for most people in its 2026 testing, and this specific configuration brings current-gen hardware down to $1,829.99 from its $2,199.99 list price. While price trackers show that lower-spec SKUs of the Katana have dropped as low as $1,369.99 in the past, this particular build justifies its price tag if you want better components out of the box.

With that $370 savings, you get a 15.6-inch QHD+ display with a 165Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card with DLSS 4 support.

Everyone is so obsessed with Dyson's beauty collection, but our lead shopping reporter, Bethany Allard, has confirmed that it's not your only option when it comes to styling your hair at home — especially if you're just looking for something that's simple, efficient, and affordable.

I use the Drybar Blow-Dryer Brush every single day, and it's never let me down. The ionic technology helps smooth out frizz, and the oval-shaped barrel gives you that bouncy salon volume at the roots in one easy step (no multi-styler needed!). It's lightweight, super quick to use, and gets me out the door in minutes.

Staying hydrated and moisturized is a blessing, but it can be expensive to get that dewy look every day. I love, love, love Philosophy's Hope in a Jar Glow Water Cream Face Moisturizer, but I almost never buy it unless it's on sale — which is why I highly recommend grabbing it right now while it's 15% off.

The lightweight water cream formula is packed with hyaluronic acid and pineapple extract to deliver serious, long-lasting hydration without leaving your face feeling greasy. I apply this every single day right when I get out of the shower, and it gives me such a gorgeous, natural glow that my mom always compliments my skin when she sees me. (Pro tip: I also really love the Philosophy extractor clay face mask, so you might want to add that to your cart while you're at it.)

Part of the latest expansion currently available, the Chaos Rising expansion's Booster Bundle is a great way to invest in the Pokémon TCG's new Mega Evolution collection of cards — with only six packs, it won't break the bank as much as the much more expensive 36-pack Booster Display Box. With its $8 price cut for Prime Day, you'll now only be paying $8.60 per Chaos Rising Booster pack instead of $9.99.

The Lego Artemis Space Launch System is a bestseller that almost never goes on sale if you buy it directly from Lego. Right now, it's 20% off for Prime Day, which drops the $59.99 price down to $47.99. Or, you could pick it up today and save 20% on the $59.99 list price, bringing it down to just $47.99. For a 632-piece set that measures 27.5 inches tall and has a pretty cool real-world analog, this set is a Prime Day steal. As a bonus, it comes with four astronaut nanofigures.

No, it's not a revival of the huge $559.99 Imperial Star Destroyer that's retired now. But it is still an 18-inch long Brick version of one of the most iconic ships in the Star Wars franchise, now back to its Cyber Monday price of $119.99. This Imperial Star Destroyer set comes with seven mini-figures, and is particularly coveted for one rare mini-fig: Cal Kestis.

iPads have everything you love in a MacBook just in a more portable package, which makes them perfect for summer travel. They fit easily in a personal item or carry-on, take up less space on a tablet but still bring Apple's signature speed.

Entering day 2 of Prime Day, we're checking in on the iPad deals. The base Apple iPad is still sitting at $299, $25 away from its previous low of $274, but that's not our favorite deal. Another iPad just dropped to a new all-time low, and we're all in.

Here are the best deals to shop this Prime Day.

Our very favorite iPad, the iPad Air, is the best tablet money can buy, and it's an even better value on sale. The Air, which prior to Prime Day was sitting around $559, is now down to $519.99. That's the tablet's new lowest price ever, saving you $79.01.

It's an incredible tablet, as powerful as a laptop. So while you can do the tablet basics — streaming, internet browsing, reading, and gaming — it can handle more. For creatives that means graphic design, illustration, and photo and video editing.
