The best Prime Day deals on laptops
Amazon
This is one of HP’s most popular laptop lines, and this model comes with tons of storage (288GB to be exact) and a docking station. If you’re using this for business or school, you’ll be happy to see that it also comes with one free year of Microsoft 365. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen all year, but it spiked as high as $399 a few months ago, so now is a great time to buy.
“It exceeded my expectations as it automatically transferred software from my PC and also set up Microsoft Office,” one pleased shopper wrote. “I love it! It’s lightning fast.”

Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins but is available at a nice discount. And to drive the point home: This is the lowest price this Mac has ever been and one of the best Prime Day deals we’ve seen this year.
“Very snappy, and the specs are perfect for my heavy home office use,” one customer said. “Setup was a breeze from an iCloud backup. Have used it on multiple Zoom and Teams video meetings and the new camera and speakers work awesome for this purpose.”

If you’re in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won’t break the bank, the HP Victus is a midrange machine that can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatch, and it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once. Oh, and did we mention it’s currently the lowest price on record?
Gaming laptops are notoriously expensive (and also pretty niche), but this one strikes a fine balance between price and performance.

The best Prime Day deals on headphones
Amazon
We picked the AirPods Pro as the best wireless earbuds overall, and for good reason: They combine truly excellent audio quality with impressive noise-canceling. The battery life is a major plus too.
“There’s simply no better option than Apple’s latest AirPods Pro,” says Yahoo Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida, praising the earbuds for their ANC, battery life and “an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancelation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you.”

These stylish cans combine a wild 60 hours of playback time with active noise-canceling features to create a quiet, focused listening experience that’s hard to beat. Right now, they’re close to an all-time low price for Prime members — not quite the lowest we’ve ever seen, but only a few dollars off.
More than 55,000 people give these headphones a five-star rating. Why? Well, as one fan puts it, “They are as good as my $300 pair from Bose.” That’s high praise, especially considering the price.

Fans say these earbuds have surprising sound quality given their light weight — just 0.01 ounce each. You can expect 24 hours of playback between the buds and the case. The current price matches the lowest it has ever been too!
In fact, some fans say these thrifty helpers are almost on the level of AirPods but at a significantly more affordable price: “They are an excellent, excellent alternative to AirPods. The sound is clear, the fit is good and the range is excellent.”

The best Prime Day deals on TVs and projectors
Walmart
If you want to step things up from a traditional TV, this high-end mini projector is a solid option. You could also use it with your phone or tablet — it’s compatible with Windows, Android, iOS and more.
Also, we have to mention the insane discount that makes these even more worth the investment. At $350 off, it’s an absolute steal.
“I am glad I picked this one,” one impressed shopper wrote. “It’s easy to assemble and connects to my devices. This mini projector delivers clear and vibrant images, the compact size and light weight design makes it very easy to carry around whether for movie nights at home or outdoor gatherings.”

More than 10,000 of these TVs have flown off the virtual shelves in the past month, and why? This TV not only boasts 4K resolution (and upscales lower-resolution content to look better) but also provides access to more than 1 million movies and TV episodes through a variety of streaming services. Now’s the best time to grab it since it’s the most affordable it’s been all year.
One fan gave it high praise: “Hands down best TV I’ve purchased in the last decade.”

This is a bite-sized screen for a bite-sized price. Seriously: When’s the last time you saw a TV for so little? It’s ideal for a spare bedroom or in a smaller space like a garage. If you like to wander, this also makes an excellent choice for an RV. It’s the lowest it’s been all year!
Don’t let the price fool you, either. Fans love it: “Excellent picture and sound quality. The picture is so bright and clear.”

Amazon is known for its high-quality, affordable TVs and this model is one of its most popular. It comes with an Alexa voice remote, and since this is a Fire TV, all your favorite streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ already come built-in. Just a few days ago, this TV spiked to $200, so at its current Prime-exclusive price is a bargain.
“I appreciate the size of the TV and the ease of use by the remote control,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “Picture and colors are very good as is the sound quality.”

This Vizio has tons of convenient features like Apple AirPlay and Chromecast, and it even has Alexa built-in, so you’ll be able to control it with your voice when you’re not in the mood to press the remote buttons.
“The picture quality is amazing compared to my old television,” one impressed reviewer wrote. “The sound quality compared to my old television is good, but let me tell you about the remote control. It has the majority of my apps in one place.”

If you have room in your home, this would probably be the largest home entertainment upgrade you may find this Prime Day. This massive TCL QLED smart TV is the lowest it’s ever been thanks to its $1,200+ discount. It also comes with Google TV built in and has premium features like Dolby Atmos and multi-channel audio.
“Fantastic picture — bright, vivid colors and crisp definition,” one impressed reviewer wrote. “Sound is great. Set up was super easy.”

The best Prime Day deals on tablets and Kindles
Amazon
This iPad might be a few years old, but it offers one of the best value propositions of any tablet on the market. At this all-time low price, you get a tablet that’s ideal for everything from working to playing.
This model has been discontinued, so any you see for sale are among the last in stock. That means that once this deal goes away, it isn’t coming back — it’s one of the only chances you’ll have to pick up an iPad for less than $200.

We were surprised to find Amazon’s latest Fire tablet on sale before October Prime Day — especially for an impressive 45% off! This portable tech accessory comes in three colors and is just the right size for streaming and gaming on the go. It’s also durable, super thin and lightweight.
Seeing that this was just recently released, this is the lowest it’s ever been, but we suspect it may go back to its original $100 price tag in no time, so snag it now while it’s almost half off!

Some shoppers say they prefer this Fire tablet to their much more expensive iPads. It has a vibrant HD screen and a fast processor, and it was made with ease of use in mind, so you won’t have to dig around to find what you want or need. It also makes an ideal portable streaming device for traveling. This is the most affordable it’s been all year!
“Much better battery life in standby mode than my iPad Pro 11-inch,” one reviewer wrote. “Great tablet for the price. Thin, lightweight, fast enough for Netflix.”

This 11-inch Android tablet has a large screen, quad speakers and multi-window display, plus it’s slim and lightweight for easy portability. We did see it drop to $150 earlier this year, but its current sale price is still a pretty solid deal.
“The display is sharp and vibrant, making it perfect for watching videos, reading and browsing the web,” one shopper wrote. “It’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, reliable Android tablet.”

Bookworms take note: While nothing can replace the feel of a physical book, a Kindle e-reader can hold hundreds of titles – downloaded from Amazon or your local library. The internal backlight is ideal for late-night reading sessions, and since it’s lightweight and wafer-thin, it’s ideal for travel or your daily commute.
This one comes with a few extras that you’ll be glad you got in the long run: a fabric cover to protect the device and a power adapter. This is just $6 more than the lowest it’s been all year.
“This was such a good purchase,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I have read more books in three weeks than I have read in years. Instant library at my fingertips. The backlight is perfect – it seems to adjust to the ambient lighting a bit. The screen doesn’t strain my eyes at all.”
