New on Prime Video in July—3 top picks and everything else coming this month
If you're like me and are still reeling from that spectacular fourth season on Prime Video's incredible The Legend of Vox Machina, or were left worried about the fate of Clarkson's Farm host Jeremy Clarkson, then you might be ready to move on for a July that's perhaps a little less stressful with its new crop of movies and TV shows. It's a good thing, then, that Amazon's PR folks have finally shared its new lineup that will carry us into the heart of the summer.
I stopped using beginner Linux distros, and my workflow finally made sense
The Linux community has lauded "beginner-friendly" distros like Linux Mint almost as long as Linux has existed. While everyone has to start somewhere, I probably won't be switching to one anytime soon.
The best live Prime Day speaker deals: Shop Sony, Sonos, JBL, and more top picks
If you plan on hitting the beach, hosting friends, or heading out on a camping trip this summer, having a quality speaker in tow is a good idea. And with Prime Day wrapping up today, plenty of great options are still discounted — though the clock is starting to run out on those deals.
Prime Day is on its final day today, but Amazon still has plenty of speaker deals live before the sale wraps up. Top brands like Sony, Sonos, and JBL saw solid discounts in the lead up to the big event, and now, some of our top picks are still sitting at low prices. The ULT Field line of Sony speakers is seeing record-low prices, as are some of our niche favorites like the Marshall Emberton III, Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go, and Ultimate Ears Miniroll.
We’ll keep tracking the best Bluetooth speaker deals through Prime Day’s final hours and update this page with the best prices still available. If nothing catches your eye quite yet, check back for any new deals that may drop.

Best Prime Day speaker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony ULT Field 3 $137.75 at Amazon$209.99 Save $72.24 Get Deal Why we like it
Our favorite Bluetooth speaker for bass lovers, the Sony ULT Field 3 just hit a new best price ever for Prime Day 2026. Surprisingly powerful, it checks all the right boxes for a Bluetooth speaker: it's waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and rustproof, and has excellent audio quality, impressive battery life, and hefty bass you can feel bump through your whole body.
Mashable's Miller Kern writes, "The speaker is great for punching up your music and bringing out little details you might miss on another speaker." Typically $209.99, it's dropped all the way down to $137.75.

If you like your tech to look as stylish as it performs, the Marshall Emberton III is another one of our top picks for a Bluetooth speaker. "Not only does this premium Bluetooth speaker have Marshall's iconic vintage look, but it's also a solid-sounding speaker for its price point," Mashable's reviewer writes. It produces clear and well-rounded sound with a slightly bass-heavy mix right out of the box. We wish there was a custom equalizer, but the companion app does have presets that you can use to personalize your sound. And now that it's down to a record-low $99.99, we highly recommend it.
Best Prime Day budget speaker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go $19.99 at Amazon$34.99 Save $15.00 Get Deal Why we like it
Our favorite speaker under $50 has dropped below $20 for Prime Day. The Soundcore Select 4 Go is a tiny powerhouse that's as portable as it is tough. It's dust- and waterproof, can easily be attached to a backpack or beach bag, packs 20 hours of playtime, and customizable through an in-app 9-band EQ or select presets. As Mashable's reviewer puts it, "If you don’t need expansive customization, or even crystal-clear sound, then go with what’s considered the best portable speaker deal under $25 and $50." Or in this case, under $20.

The best Prime Day AirPods deals you can still shop on the final day
Need a new pair of AirPods? You can always find Apple's earbuds and headphones on sale for cheaper than usual during Prime Day — not just on Amazon, but at competing retailers, too.
Today is the final day of Prime Day 2026, and Amazon's inventory is fluctuating as the clock winds down. Case in point: The top AirPods deal was the over-ear AirPods Max 2 for a record-low $399 on Amazon, but they've officially sold out. If you missed it, don't panic — Best Buy still has them in stock and on sale for $479 ($70 off).
SEE ALSO: Prime Day isn't over yet: We found the 110+ best deals on Apple, Sony, Kindle, and Lego favoritesMeanwhile, the entry-level AirPods 4 and noise-cancelling AirPods Pro 3 are both on sale for up to $70 off this Prime Day. Neither model is matching its biggest discount on record, but given Apple's plans for price hikes in the near future, these are probably going to be their best deals for a while.
Read on for our rundown of the best Prime Day AirPods deals available. If you're a brand loyalist, be sure to check out our dedicated guide to the top Prime Day deals on all Apple products.
Best AirPods deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $99 at Amazon$129 Save $30 Get Deal Why we like it
The vanilla AirPods 4 are our No. 1 Apple earbuds for budget buyers. In our testing, they sounded fantastic, fit comfortably, and worked seamlessly with other Apple devices. We saw them drop all the way down to $69 last Black Friday, but $99 is their best price so far in 2026. Save $30 at Amazon and Walmart. (PSA: Walmart also has pre-owned AirPods 4 on sale for just $65.)
The AirPods 4 are also available with ANC. That pair is on sale for $148.99 (normally $179) at Amazon, Walmart, and Costco. For reference, their record-low price is $99.

Best AirPods Pro deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 3 $179 at Amazon$249 Save $70 Get Deal
The AirPods Pro 3 are our favorite AirPods across all price points, offering great ANC, an eight-hour battery life, plus extra fixings like a built-in heart rate monitor. They're also more water- and sweat-resistant than the regular AirPods 4, making them better for working out. They were only $169 on Amazon last week, but at the time of writing, they were sitting at $179 there.

Best AirPods Max deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Max 2 $479 at Best Buy$549 Save $70 Get Deal
Apple's newly updated headphones have better ANC than the original AirPods Max from 2021. They run on the same H2 chip as the AirPods Pro 3, so they support the same software features (such as Live Translation and Conversation Awareness). Amazon had them for $399 earlier this week, but they're sold out now. Thankfully, Best Buy is still offering a $70 discount, bringing them down to $479.

These last-chance Prime Day MacBook deals save you up to $850 (!) after Apples price hikes
Let's start with the bad news first: Apple's price hikes are here. As of June 25, select Apple products are at least $100 more expensive than before. That includes the full MacBook lineup — the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, and even the budget MacBook Neo. Bummer.
Now for the good news. Amazon's flagship Prime Day megasale is still live through the end of the day today (June 26), and most MacBooks are still in stock there with price cuts. They're not tagged as being on sale, but if you compare their prices with the Apple Store's new MSRPs for the same models, they're up to $850 (!) cheaper on Amazon right now.
Take the MacBook Neo. The base model is marked down to $589.99 this Prime Day. Originally, that was only a $9.01 discount on its $599 MSRP. But as of now, it's really a $109.01 savings given the Apple Store's adjusted starting price of $699.
SEE ALSO: Apple price increases arrive: How much MacBooks and iPads will cost you nowMacBook prices as low as these will probably be very rare going forward, so if you're on the fence about an upgrade, I would absolutely recommend shopping Amazon's Prime Day MacBook deals. I've rounded up the best ones below and will continue to update my list based on current pricing and availability. I'm marking any record-lows I encounter with a 🔥. (Deals with a strikethrough weren't available at the time of writing, but could return before Prime Day ends.)
I'd also encourage you to check out competing retailers' anti-Prime Day sales — namely, Costco's Member Appreciation Days event. It's matching a lot of Prime Day MacBook offers, so if they sell out on Amazon, you've got a fallback plan. Better yet, none of the ones I've found are actually restricted to Costco members.
Best Prime Day MacBook Neo deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $589.99 at Amazon$699 Save $109.01 Get Deal
Apple's colorful new budget laptop is faster than most Windows laptops in basic single-core workloads, and it has the same premium build quality as Apple's other MacBooks. Amazon has been selling the base configuration for $589.99 for a few weeks now. That wasn't a great deal until yesterday, when the Apple Store bumped its MSRP from $599 to $699. It's a real last-chance steal: Once this deal dries up, the Neo will only be $599 for college students, their parents, and teachers on a regular basis (via Apple's education pricing). Take your pick from the silver, blush, and citrus colorways. You'll find this deal at Costco, too.

Best Prime Day MacBook Air deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,149 at Amazon$1,499 Save $350 Get Deal
The M5 MacBook Air is a class-leading ultraportable with a zippy processor, two full workdays' worth of battery life, and a premium, polished design. (Haptic touchpad? Check. Crisp Liquid Retina display? Check. Speakers that sound better than anything you'll find on the average Windows PC? Checkity-check.) The 15-inch base configuration is on sale for $1,149 this Prime Day, which is $350 off its new sticker price of $1,499. Only Costco was matching this deal at the time of writing.

The M5 MacBook Pro is a creative-forward upgrade with a gorgeous 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED) display, a longer battery life, and extra ports like an SDXC card slot. It also has built-in fans, unlike the MacBook Air, so you're less likely to experience thermal throttling when you run demanding software on it. Amazon has the 1TB base model listed for $1,549.99 this Prime Day. That's 22% off its newly higher price of $1,999, or a $449.01 savings. Costco is coming in clutch with another price-match here.

The MacBook Pro is my No. 1 choice for content creators and other creative professionals, especially photo and video editors.

Should you get a robot vacuum on Prime Day? I test them for a living and found live deals worth buying.
Don't ask ChatGPT which robot vacuum you should buy on Prime Day — ask the person who's tested nearly 40 robot vacuums in their own home. Most of the best robot vacuums of the past few years, including new 2026 models, are on sale for Prime Day, which wraps up today, June 26. Since the event is almost coming to an end, I found a handful of worthwhile robot vacuums on sale to buy while Prime Day lasts.
That doesn't just refer to the models with the biggest discounts. I've further whittled down the list to the robot vacuums with the best ratio of cleaning specs and smart features compared to their sale price. These really are the best bang for your buck.
SEE ALSO: HGTV hive, rise up: The best Shark robot vacuum and cordless stick vacuum just dropped in 4 earth tonesFor example, the Roborock Saros 10R that I loved last year is on sale for $884.99 (over $700 off), which is a new record low. That sounds like a steal until I remind you that you can get significantly more suction power for $699.99 with the Dreame L60 Ultra FE. The self-emptying Shark Navigator for $249.99 sounds great until you realize that you can get mopping and small obstacle avoidance with the Roborock Q10 S5+ for $10 less. (If you're shopping for a really high-end robot vacuum, I recommend the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, which is now $355 off, or the Narwal Flow 2, which is $550 off.)
So, here are the Prime Day deals on robot vacuums that are worth your time so far:
Best Prime Day robot vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dreame Dreame L60 Ultra FE $699.99 at Amazon$999.99 Save $300 Get Deal Why we like it
Not to rope the Roborock Saros 10R back into it, but it really does make the Dreame L60 Ultra FE's value stand out. This model was just released at the end of April 2026, and its 30,000 Pa suction power isn't too far off from the 35,000 Pa of the most powerful Dreame robot vacuum. With accurate AI obstacle avoidance and heated self-washing mopping pads thrown in, this is a really solid vacuum for less than $800.
I can personally attest to the L60 Ultra FE's cleaning power for the price — it's currently sitting in my living room. I'm a sucker for the corner mopping of a spinning mopping pad, which still squeezes into 90-degree angles better than roller mop robot vacuums that can slide out to clean edges. This Dreame model has done a commendable job with cat litter, crumbs under the kitchen counter, and cat scratcher flecks stuck in the rug.

Apple has a two Siri problem. Price increases make it messy.
The new Siri AI is not coming to all devices, and recent price increases make it more painful to upgrade to new devices all at once. CNET’s Bridget Carey has been testing out the new Siri AI in beta on her phone and says a new Apple TV box and new HomePods are a sure bet this fall -- it just may be more expensive to upgrade than we all expected.

The Acer Nitro V 16S AI gaming laptop is down to best-ever price on Prime Day — last chance to save $300
SAVE $300: As of June 26, the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop is on sale for $1,099.99 at Amazon. That's down from $1,399.99 — a 21% discount on list price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Acer Acer Nitro V 16S AI Gaming Laptop $1,099.99 at Amazon$1,399.99 Save $300 Get Deal
Prime Day is in its final stretch, and the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop is down to $1,099.99 at Amazon. That marks the lowest-ever price. For a gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor and 32GB RAM, this is one of the stronger deals still live as the sale wraps up.
The Acer Nitro V 16S is built around an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, which handles everyday gaming and heavier workloads like streaming and content creation without slowing down. It’s also paired with NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 graphics, which focuses on smoother visuals and better lighting effects in modern games, so shadows, reflections, and fast movement look more realistic and less choppy.
A lot of the performance boost here also comes from software that helps games run more efficiently, improving frame rates and reducing lag when things get demanding on screen. On the display side, you get a 16-inch screen with a sharp resolution and accurate color coverage, so games and videos look more vivid and accurate, especially in fast-moving scenes, thanks to the 180Hz refresh rate.
Inside, it includes 32GB of memory and a fast 1TB SSD, which helps with multitasking and quick load times — so switching between apps, loading games, or moving through large files feels smooth and responsive.
Grab the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop on Amazon before your current laptop starts lagging in protest.

There are some excellent deals on portable power stations, from tiny models that keep your phone charged up to absolute beasts that can keep your refrigerator cooling for days. Having reviewed dozens of power stations, these are the models I would consider buying during Prime Day.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2.
If you're looking to buy your first portable power station, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is an excellent all-around model. It offers a respectable 1,024Wh capacity, which is a bit like a Goldilocks amount. That's a good amount of power for a weekend away, but it doesn't go overboard. It's also easy to transport, coming in at under 25 pounds. It has excellent recharging ability, going from dead to 100% power in under 50 minutes. It's a summer essential for me, and it's also excellent during a power outage.

If you don't need heaps of power, consider the Bluetti Elite 10, one of my favorite small portable power stations. It comes with 128Wh of power, which is enough to keep your phone, earbuds, or Kindle charged up during a camping trip or when the power goes out. Plus, the green colorway option is undeniably special.
In addition to its small size, the Bluetti Elite 10 is lightweight and great for people to carry from room to room during a power outage. On Prime Day, it's on sale at Amazon for $107.

The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has a unique feature when it comes to portable power stations — it's resistant to water and dust. As you can imagine, it's not wise to add water into the mix with most portable power stations, but the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has an IP 65 rating and a level nine seismic shockproofing. All of that means this model is ideal if you'll be in harsh conditions. Bring this model camping in the rain or take it to the job site. It's also ideal if you'll be working in a shed with wood shavings.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra is currently $899 at Amazon, its lowest ever price.

A huge benefit to choosing a portable power station is its ability to recharge via sunlight. Of course, in order to do that, you'll need a solar panel. The EcoFlow Delta 3 with a 220W solar panel is a great deal to hop on. For $599, down from the normal price of $999, you get the EcoFlow Delta 3 and a 220W solar panel for recharging.
The EcoFlow Delta 3 itself comes with 1,024Wh with an impressive 3,600W surge. EcoFlow states the 220W solar panel can recharge the Delta 3 back to 100% in about six hours. Take the power station and solar panel camping this summer, and you might be in for unlimited power.

You might know DJI better for their leading drone technology, but the tech brand makes highly-rated power stations too. This model, the DJI Power 1000, is equipped with 1,024Wh plus a selection of outputs or multiple device charging, including various USB ports and AC outputs. The power station itself fully recharges in just 1.35 hours, making it highly practical for a continuous power supply.

Lego deals are still live on Prime Day: We found 90+ deals worth shopping today
Any Lego fan knows that getting into the brick-building hobby isn't cheap. That's why it's a good idea to take advantage of Amazon's Prime Day deals on Lego sets. The members-only megasale is still going strong through the end of today, June 26, so time is running out to shop Amazon Prime Day Lego prices.
The running theme of this year's Prime Day Lego deals seems to be "20% off." That's the discount Amazon's given to dozens of builds across the Lego lineup, including many popular Star Wars, Botanicals, Icons, Technic, Art, Super Mario, and Harry Potter sets. Lots of them have fallen to new record-low prices; three now cost less than $10.
SEE ALSO: The 10 best Lego sets of 2026 so far, from F1 to Monet and PokémonBefore you ask: None of the Lego Pokémon sets or new Lego Smart Play sets are on sale right now, but we're monitoring them closely in case that changes.
Read on for our guide to the absolute best Prime Day Lego deals you can snag on Amazon this week. (We'll keep updating it as Prime Day progresses, so check back.) We've also thrown in four great Lego deals you can score elsewhere: Walmart's Deals event features some sets that were out of stock or more expensive on Amazon.
Note: Deals with a strikethrough have either ended or sold out at the time of writing.

The Lego Artemis Space Launch System is a bestseller on Lego's website that almost never goes on sale there. This Prime Day, it's 20% off on Amazon: You'll pay $47.99 instead of its usual $59.99. That's a new all-time low (and a pretty sweet deal for a pretty big, pretty topical set). As a bonus, it comes with four astronaut nanofigures.

No, it's not a revival of the huge $559.99 Imperial Star Destroyer that Lego retired. But it is still an 18-inch-long brick version of one of the most iconic ships in the Star Wars franchise. It comes with seven mini-figures, and is particularly coveted for one rare mini-fig: Cal Kestis. It usually retails for $159.99, but Prime members pay just $111.99 this week (a 30% savings). That's a record-low price, beating its 2025 Cyber Monday deal by $8.

I asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to build the same browser extension, and one outperformed the others
AI tools have become a normal part of my daily workflow, but I’ve noticed one small problem that keeps coming up: some prompts are worth saving. I reuse certain prompts for data analysis, research, formatting, brainstorming, and internal work tools. Digging through old chats to find them isn’t exactly efficient. So I decided to build something I’d actually use: a simple Chrome extension for saving, organizing, and reusing prompts from the browser.
White House wants OpenAI to limit the launch of its next model
William Gibson once famously said that "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed." It appears that the same goes for frontier AI models.
According to The Information, the White House told OpenAI it wants the company to release its next model in a limited fashion, to a select group of close partners.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staff that the company's newest model, GPT 5.6, will be launched very differently than previous ones, with the government approving access "customer by customer."
Following this limited release period, the company should be able to launch the model more broadly a "couple of weeks" later, says the report.
SEE ALSO: Claude Fable 5 vs GPT 5.5: Is this why the Trump admin banned one and not the other?OpenAI competitor Anthropic recently had to pull its most powerful model, Fable 5, after Trump's administration intervened to keep the model out of foreign hands. The company previously launched Mythos, an even more powerful model, as a limited release open only to a small set of pre-approved customers.
As for OpenAI's GPT 5.6, the model is reportedly a "meaningful improvement" over GPT 5.5, both in terms of context window size and efficiency.
In a memo sent to employees, Altman reportedly said that GPT 5.6 is not the company's preferred long term model, and that OpenAI will work with the government and others in the industry "to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases."

Ed Norton watched Team USA at the World Cup and everyone made the same joke
The World Cup has seen its fair share of celebrity guests, but Ed Norton's presence during Thursday's USA vs. Turkey game really got the internet talking.
The actor attended the game alongside some other big names, including Colin Farrell and — crucially — his former Fight Club co-star Brad Pitt.
