Amazon's Prime Day TV deals are really good

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 9:45 a.m. EDT This list has been updated with new Prime Day TV deals.

The best Prime Day TV deals at a glance: Best 43-inch TV deal Amazon 43-inch Omni QLED 4K Fire TV $359.99 at Amazon (save $90 with Prime) Get Deal Best 55-inch TV deal Samsung 55-inch LS03D The Frame QLED 4K TV $1,197.99 at Amazon (save $300) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch Q6 QLED 4K TV $399.99 at Amazon (save $300) Get Deal Best 85-inch TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 ULED 4K TV $1,098 at Amazon (save $401.99) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day can surely be counted as one of the best times of year to buy a TV, depending on the type of TV you're in the market for. If that's a budget-friendly QLED model or Fire TV, the retail giant's big summer sale is a can't-miss affair.

On the first day of Prime Day (live now through Wednesday, July 17), Amazon has dropped some steals. Several TV markdowns are matching the models' lowest prices on record, or are close. Amazon's own Fire TVs also currently have a 90-day free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited attached to them — a nice $11ish per month break from Spotify or Apple Music if you're currently paying for that.

We'll be updating our list of TVs on sale at Amazon as Prime Day continues and will keep you posted if Best Buy's concurrent Black Friday in July sale gives it any serious competition.

Note: All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

TCL's Q6 TV is one of the most impressive cheap QLED TVs out there right now, so the opportunity to score the big 65-inch version for under $400 is seriously sweet for anyone looking to ditch their old, muted LED TV. (And this is an even better deal than Amazon is advertising: This exact model retails for $699.99 on the TCL website; you're actually saving 43%.) For this all-time low price, the Q6 gets bright enough to make HDR worthwhile, complemented by the noticeable boosted color accuracy from the layer of quantum dots.

After weeks of anticipation, Prime Day has arrived, running July 16 and 17. We tracked the early deals on Amazon's popular Fire Tablets, which were okay, but now that the big day is actually here, so are their lowest prices ever. If you're ready to set yourself apart from the iPad crowd, here are the best Prime Day deals on Amazon Fire tablets.

The best Kindle deals we've found during Prime Day 2024

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 8:50 a.m. EDT Prime Day 2024 is here and this article has been updated with the latest Kindle deals.

Best Prime Day Kindle deals at a glance: BEST KINDLE DEAL Kindle Scribe (16GB, Premium Pen) $259.99 (save $110) Get Deal BEST KINDLE DEAL FOR KIDS Kindle Paperwhite Kids $169.99 at Amazon (Save $20) Get Deal BEST KINDLE BUNDLE DEAL Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle $164.97 at Amazon (save $40) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day is officially here. While there were plenty of early deals, we've been waiting for Prime Day proper to see the deals on Amazon devices — Kindles especially. However, now that the deals are here, they're...okay. Don't get us wrong, the deals are good, but we have seen better — especially on other tablets right now. You can find all discounts marked down, but none are at their lowest price ever. However, if you're itching for an e-reader, a Kindle is still the best.

SEE ALSO: Everything you need to know about Prime Day 2024

As much as we love the feel of physical books, a Kindle just makes more sense nowadays, especially if you like to read on the go, read between books before you finish them, or have a back-up book on deck. If you're going through books too quickly, an e-reader that can store hundreds of books, while being easy on your eyes and not needing to be plugged in all the time might be the ideal option for you.

There hasn't been a new Kindle model since the 2022 entry-level Amazon Kindle refresh, so we'd love to expect greater discounts than ever before. However, we saw the lowest price ever on the Kindle Paperwhite last Prime Day, and then smaller discounts for Amazon's October Prime Day and Black Friday. We didn't expect to see record-low prices this summer, at least not on the Kindle Paperwhite, and that's what the deals reflect. Here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals you can get right this moment.

We'll be updating this page throughout the official savings event, so stay tuned for more to come.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Read our full review of the Kindle Scribe.

It's not a perfect device, but the Kindle Scribe is the most versatile option for those looking for a smoother transition into e-reading. It comes with a stylus to mark up whatever you're reading, bridging the gap between the traditional and digital world. Feel free to highlight, take notes in the margins, and doodle to your heart's content. The digital drawing features aren't the best out there, but if you're a note-taking reader, this is your best bet. The 16GB version with the Premium Pen is on sale for just $259.99 ahead of Prime Day — that's 30% in savings and its lowest price on record.

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 7:30 a.m. EDT This list has been refreshed with the latest deals on tablets live ahead of Prime Day, including a new Fire Max 11, OnePlus tablet deal, and iPad Pro with nano-texture glass.

We rounded up the best tablet deals ahead of Prime Day 2024. Check out our top picks:

Prime Day 2024 is here — Amazon's biggest sale runs July 16 and 17. The early deals were plentiful, but now that Prime Day has officially started the bulk of discounts have arrived.

We're tracking the best tablet deals so you don't have to. With the launch of new iPads from Apple earlier this year, we're staying laser-focused on markdowns on the latest tech. We also expect to see prices slashed on older generations of still-great tech.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2024 is coming: Here are the best live deals to shop early

While it doesn't appear that the current savings are huge, that's because the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro are still so new — we're still seeing them at their lowest prices ever. Prime Day brings even deeper discounts including the iPad 10th generation under $300 and $92.40 off the rarely-discounted iPad Pro with nano-texture glass.

We're not partial to Apple tablets only — there's more than just iPads out there. Explore all the deals on Amazon Fire and Android tablets below.

The latest iPad Air is loaded with Apple's powerful M2 chip. The M2 processing speed impressed us when we saw it in the MacBook Air, and now it makes the iPad Air just as mighty. The latest iPad Air was just released in May, but we're watching its price drop and drop ahead of Prime Day. Currently, it's down to $1,024, giving you $75 off, which may not seem like a lot, but it's still its lowest price so far. Loaded with 1TB of storage and processing speed to rival a laptop, this is a certified good deal.

The OnePlus Pad is the first tablet ever from the brand, and it came out swinging. Our sister site PC Mag (owned by Mahsable's publisher, Ziff Davis) deemed it a great option for existing OnePlus phone owners. Those used to iPad speeds might find the tablet a bit sluggish, but the drop to this lowest price ever can help make up for that — along with the four-speaker sound, an 11.61-inch LCD display, and long battery life.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 is the best runner-up to the iPad among the tablets we tested. It's extremely budget-friendly, starting at $229.99. This is best for someone who doesn't need a ton of processing speed or storage — it only has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. However, if you're on a budget, it might be worth the sacrifice. Plus, this early Prime Day deal brings the Amazon Fire Max 11 to its best price ever of $139.99, taking $90 off for 39% savings.

Although deals have been rolling in for weeks, it's now officially Amazon Prime Day. The retail giant's big event is always a perfect time to pick up a new laptop, especially if you're looking for a MacBook (or any other Apple devices, for that matter). But let's not forget about a fan-favorite budget laptop: the Chromebook.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner — here's how to find the best deals

A good number of Chromebooks were already discounted ahead of Prime Day's official start, including models from Acer, Asus, and beyond. But as day one progresses, we're seeing many of those prices drop even further. There are plenty of Chromebook deals to shop at Amazon, but we also found a few deals at Best Buy that were too good not to include.

We'll be keeping a running list of the best Chromebook deals throughout Prime Day below, so check back if you don't see something that suits you just yet. In particular, we're still hoping to see a sub-$100 Chromebook deal pop up.

The new Chromebook Plus line of laptops combines performance, power, and convenience at the same low price that the popular budget computers are known for. This model from Acer comes equipped with great internal specs at this price point, and will work well for anyone who desires a no-frills device that'll tackle their web-browsing and document-editing tasks with ease. You'll also get some nice extras with your purchase, including a year of Google One AI Premium and 2TB of Google One cloud storage. Up to 11 hours of battery, cloud gaming support, and an all-time low price just under $300 make this deal even sweeter.

Best Prime Day MacBook deals: We're seeing new record low prices on M3 models

Amazon Prime Day has arrived and although the early deals were hit or miss when it comes to laptops, the savings are flowing on day one of the official sale. Tons of epic deals are ready to shop as we speak, especially when it comes to Apple's beloved MacBooks (including the new M3 models).

SEE ALSO: When does Prime Day 2024 start? Here's all the nitty-gritty details.

Below, we've put together a list of all the Prime Day MacBook deals that you can scoop up on day one of the annual savings event — and fair warning, they are very good. Every model is seeing a record-low price, confirming that Prime Day is the time to upgrade your MacBook. We'll be updating this list with any new deals that pop up (or old ones that disappear) throughout the sale.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch M2 Apple MacBook Air.

It may not be the most advanced MacBook spec-wise, but we consider the M2 MacBook Air the best MacBook for most people. The M2 chip is by no means weak, still powering you through having too many tabs open while remaining incredibly portable. At $799, this is the absolute lowest price we've ever seen this laptop by about $30, and the lowest price we've ever seen on any M2 machine. To put it into perspective: just one week ago, the lowest price you could find the M1 MacBook Air for was $699, putting only a $100 difference between the 2020 laptop and this 2022 model.

Read Mashable's full review of the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M3).

While the M2 MacBook Air is a great laptop, the M3 MacBook Air takes things to new heights. It has a 20% faster chip, upgraded WiFi 6E support, and the ability to support up to two 5K, 60Hz external displays at the same time (with the lid closed). From an outside perspective, it "may seem like a simple refresh," Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon writes in her review, "but as someone who owns the M2 MacBook Air, I’d definitely trade it in for the new-generation model."

The base model (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) has dropped to a record-low $849 for Prime Day with the help of an on-page coupon. That makes it a 23% price drop. The day before Prime Day, it hit its previous record-low of $898.99, for comparison purposes. If you want a larger screen, the 15-inch version is also on sale for a record-low $1,049.

Don't miss out on the best Prime Day laptop deals. See our picks below:

The best Prime Day laptop deals at a glance: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M3) $899 at Amazon (save $200) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal LG gram 17 $899.99 at Amazon (save $500) Get Deal

On any given day, Amazon's best laptop deals include some markdowns on Apple MacBooks... and not much else. The retail giant lists a lot of older and/or discontinued PCs that aren't super worth it. Amazon also has a penchant for inflating sticker prices, making discounts look steeper than they really are.

Those factors, combined with the heavy presence of sketchy third-party sellers among Amazon's laptop listings, make it one of the worst places to buy a laptop on the internet (again, unless you're shopping for MacBooks). We usually recommend shopping at Best Buy or going directly to the manufacturer's online store instead.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2024 is here: See 150+ deals worth shopping

The fine print here is that Amazon usually gets its act together for major savings events, including its flagship Prime Day sale (set for July 16 and 17). When such sales are live, it's way easier to find heftier discounts on new laptops shipped and sold by Amazon itself — though it still behooves savvy shoppers to cross-check prices elsewhere, just in case.

After a couple of weeks of lousy early Prime Day laptop deals from Amazon, those hefty discounts have finally appeared on the first day of its sale. (Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale might've been the motivation it needed.) Amazon's usual selection of MacBook Airs and Pros have all hit record-low prices, while a handful of clamshell and 2-in-1 LG gram laptops are $300 to $500 off for the Windows crew. For shoppers in search of a budget gaming laptop, a range of PCs from Acer and Asus are on sale for $500 to $1,200.

Twelve-hundred bucks is also the exact amount of the highest Prime Day laptop discount I've spotted so far: A Razer Blade 15 from last year is marked down from $2,799.99 to $1,599.99 for Prime members. It comes with a free copy of Black Myth: Wukong, too.

I'll continue to keep track of the best Prime Day laptop deals as the sale continues, so check back soon (and often) if you're hoping to see different models or configurations.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. I've cross-checked pricing with manufacturers' sites whenever possible to make sure the deals are legit. (If Amazon had the wrong MSRP, I corrected it and adjusted the discount accordingly.) I've also weeded out laptops sold by third-party sellers — if they have "Ships from/Sold by Amazon.com" underneath their "Buy Now" button, we're cool.

Read Mashable's full review of the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M3).

Apple upgraded its latest MacBook Air with WiFi 6E support, the ability to drive two external monitors at the same time (with its lid closed), and an M3 chip that was 20% faster than its predecessor's CPU in our testing. It "may seem like a simple refresh," said Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon, "but as someone who owns the M2 MacBook Air, I’d definitely trade it in for the new-generation model."

After chilling at $999 for the past few weeks, the 13-inch base model has dropped to $899 on Prime Day. The 15-inch version with a bigger display and two extra speakers is also on sale at a record-low of $1,049 (normally $1,299) with an on-page coupon. Best Buy was matching those prices at the time of writing, but only for paid (Plus or Total) members of its My Best Buy program.

Powered by an all-new Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor, the LG gram 17 is a thin big-screener that's impressively light for its size: it weighs in at just 2.96 pounds, making it even airier than a 15-inch M3 MacBook Air.

This particular configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage actually retails for $1,399.99 on the LG website, meaning Amazon's Prime Day price of $899.99 is an even better deal than advertised. (Ignore its listed "typical price" of $1,245.81.) You'll save a total of 36%.

Even though the sale officially started today, July 16, we've been tracking the best fitness tracker deals at Amazon for weeks. Things started pretty slow, with some Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy deals running the show, but a few Garmin, Polar, and OnePlus deals trickled in as it got closer and closer to 3 a.m. ET.

If you don't see something that jumps out at you just yet, don't worry. You've got until July 17, 2:59 a.m. ET, to figure it out. Plus, we'll be updating this page with the latest price drops on fitness trackers and smartwatches throughout the sale.

Launched last summer, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 was dubbed the "king of the Android smartwatch mountain" by Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry. The sixth iteration saw a suite of added sleep and fitness features, including a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, and irregular heart rate notifications. Plus, it lasts longer on a single charge and features a 20 percent larger display than previous models. The 40mm version with Bluetooth dropped to a record-low $196.95 at Amazon last week, and now it's at an even lower $159.99 ($140 off the listing price).

It's tablet time. Check out the best iPad deals during Prime Day 2024 below:

Prime Day is here, and luckily for you, we're on top of our game finding the best deals, including price drops on the latest iPads from Apple.

These discounts might not seem like much, less than $100 off each model, but these are the lowest prices ever on these iPads. The spring release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro brought noteworthy tech, creating tablets with as much power as the best laptops we've tested. So while these deals seem subtle, we can confirm they're the best prices on iPads right now.

Note: We'll be updating this article with the latest prices throughout the main event. All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

$329.00 Save $80.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Among the tablets we've tested, the iPad 9th generation is the best for most people. This 2021 model isn't the newest tech, especially with the release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro, however, it's a great value. It has all the essentials you want in an iPad as the A13 lets you stream, read, and work. When not on sale, it comes in at $329, about $20 cheaper than the iPad 10th generation, but the savings are even bigger during Prime Day. Now, you can get the iPad 9th generation for $249, saving you $80 for 24% off.

$1,099.00 Save $75.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Loaded with the M2 chip, the iPad Air is a tablet with the power of a laptop. It's our best overall iPad, as it goes beyond just entertainment — it can be a professional workspace too. The M2 chip powers creatives who want to illustrate and with 1TB of storage, you won't run out of space when starting new projects. This iPad Air usually starts at $1,099, but it's currently down to $1,024, knocking $75 off the price. Those 7% savings bring it down to its lowest price, unbeatable for the amount of power and storage you're getting.

Best iPad Pro deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad Pro, 11-inch (M4, WiFi, 256GB) 🔥✨ $919.00 at Amazon
$999.00 Save $80.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The iPad Pro is not only the most advanced tablet we've ever seen, but maybe the most advanced computing power period. If you need an iPad for professional use, something that can accomplish all your work, from photo to video editing, look no further than the iPad Pro which scored a 14,586 on the Geekbench 6 test, which is better performance than both the M3 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Pro.

During Prime Day, you can get the latest iPad Pro for $919, saving you $80. Like the rest of the tablets on this list, those 8% savings might seem minor, but it's the lowest price we've ever seen.

Best iPad Mini deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Apple iPad Mini, 8.3-inch (A15, WiFi, 64GB) ✨ $379.99 at Amazon
$499.00 Save $119.01 Get Deal Why we like it

In some ways, the iPad Mini is Apple's answer to an e-reader. That's oversimplifying it for sure, as the Mini can do everything you expect from an iPad — browse the internet, stream shows, play games — but it does so in a compact package, giving it a better hand feel for reading.

During Prime Day, the iPad Mini is down to $379.99, giving you $119.01. That saves you 24% — plenty of savings you can reallocate to your summer book budget.

Apple AirTags have benefitted from quite the flattering news cycle recently. And while you might not be looking to crack a case of theft, AirTags still help you find your belongings. Attach them to your keys, wallet, or anything else you might frequently misplace, and you can see their location on the Find My app.

During Prime Day 2024, which runs July 16 and 17, we're keeping our eyes peeled for the best tech deals, and that includes AirTags. Amazon is selling singular AirTags at a 17% discount now that the event is underway, but the best deal comes from a different retailer. Get a jumpstart on AirTag deals now.

All AirPods have dropped to their lowest price ever for Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

Shopping is a year round activity (for us at least), but summer is an especially good time to be a deal hunter. With Prime Day 2024 live on July 16 and 17, 4th of July sales, and Target Circle Week all in the ether, it's no sleep, all deals. The biggest brands are on sale, including Apple and their ultra-popular AirPods.

And these deals have taken us on a rollercoaster, going from lukewarm to piping hot and back down again. On July 9, we saw every model of AirPods fall to its lowest price ever. Unfortunately, the deals didn't last long, a testament to the fact that if you see a good sale, act fast. However, now that Prime Day has officially started, we're seeing the entire AirPods family at their lowest prices ever.

Here are the best Prime Day AirPods deals, all in one convenient place. We'll be refreshing the list now that the sale has officially begun, so keep checking back for the latest and greatest deals.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

Apple AirPods (2nd generation) are our best budget earbuds for a reason. They're affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use.

Typically priced at $129, these AirPods are currently $69, their lowest price ever.

These come with personalized spatial audio, 30 hours of battery life, and are sweat and water resistant. Now that they're down to $119.99, they may just be the best mid-range headphones in the world. For Apple users priced out of the AirPods Pro, they're a must-have at this price.

AirPods Max, Apple's answer to over-the-ear headphones, may not be our top pick for sound quality, but they're certainly the most stylish. Coming in green, blue, pink, silver, and space gray, they look great while also providing active noise cancellation. Similar to AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max give specialized settings with spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. AirPods Max are at the very attractive price of $394.95, even better than the $399 price tag we saw last week.

Prime Day 2024 is finally here, and it's running from July 16 to 17. As soon as the official sale went live, we saw price drops on virtually every single Apple smartwatch, and now we're counting down the best Prime Day Apple Watch deals.

Both the SE and Series 9 watches are marked down with savings between 28% to 32% depending on the size, model, and color you choose. While these wearables were included in Amazon's early deals, the prices have gotten even better for the main shopping event. With this deal, you can start tracking your workouts and health metrics for under $200. And since it's summer, you have to be ready to jump in a body of water at any given moment. Luckily, these Apple Watches aren't just on sale — they're waterproof.

Editor's Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price. For more savings, you can also check out our guide of the best Prime Day deals on Apple products.

Already a budget-friendly option, the Apple Watch SE is down to $169.99 for Prime Day. That's better than the previous lowest-ever price, which we saw during Black Friday 2023. While it's Apple's most affordable wearable, it still has the advanced tech you want in a smartwatch. The bright retina display tracks your heart rate and watches for irregular rhythm. You can track your workouts — even in the water — as it's water-resistant up to 50m. Right now, you'll save $80 for 32% savings.

For the latest technology, look to the Apple Watch Series 9. It's loaded with bigger displays, offering either a 41 or 45 mm display over the SE's 40 and 44mm options. It has an always-on retina display, so you don't have to wake it up every time you need to check the time. The health metric offerings are even more extensive on the Series 9 with the ECG app and temperature sensing. Like the SE, it's water-resistant, so you can jump in the water care free. It's now down to its lowest price ever of $309.99, saving you $119.01 for 28% off.

Apple's most advanced smartwatch may just be the best fitness tracker in the world. Yes, it's double the cost of the Series 9, but if you want the best possible fitness insights, health tracking, battery life, and display, you'll need to go for the Ultra 2. With a customizable action button, precision GPS tracking, and an Always-On Retina display that lasts 36 to 72 hours, it puts other wearables to shame. For athletes and adventurers, the rugged titanium case is so strong you can even wear it while scuba diving.

Best Prime Day Apple deals: Tons of iPads are still on sale — including the latest models

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 6:40 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest pricing and availability on Apple products ahead of Prime Day.

We rounded up the best Prime Day Apple deals from iPads to MacBooks to AirPods. Check them out below:

Early Prime Day Apple deals to watch: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $799 at Amazon (Save $200) Get Deal Best iPad deal Apple iPad Air, 10.9-inch (M1, WiFi, 64GB) $399 at Walmart (Save $200) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm, GPS) 🔥 $309.99 at Amazon (Save $119.01) Get Deal Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods Max 🔥 $394.99 at Amazon (Save $154.01) Get Deal

Prime Day starts today, July 16, and runs through the 17, but plenty of Apple deals, some of the best we've ever seen, went live days before the big event.

One big reason is that Walmart kicked off its Walmart Deals sale last week, bringing down the prices on the M1 MacBook and AirPods. With Prime Day now here, these could be the best prices on Apple products, but we're still watching and waiting.

Here are the best Apple deals we could find at Amazon the day before the annual shopping event. We'll be refreshing the list now that the sale has officially begun, so keep checking back for the latest and greatest deals.

Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

The M2 MacBook Air officially hit its lowest price ever, marking a new lowest entry point for anyone who wants an M2 laptop. Though it's a couple of years old, this laptop would still make a great companion for anyone who needs a solid work-from-home machine, complete with its fantastic keyboard, processing power, great display, and portability that makes it easy to take along just about anywhere.

Check out our full review of the M1 iPad Air.

Is this tablet a couple of years old? Yes. Is that why it's getting this $200 markdown? Probably! We first saw the iPad Air drop to this price at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago, and though it's shot back up at the retailer, the Walmart Deals sale has brought it back down. An M1-powered tablet is hardly past its prime, still offering plenty of power for gaming and note-taking. While we do wish this iPad offered a little more storage space, at this sale price you're paying just under $70 more than you would for a discounted A14 Bionic chip-powered iPad with the same amount of storage.

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.

What better way to enjoy the exceptional display brightness of the Series 9 than with the largest display you can possibly get? Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder appreciated that this watch introduced Double Tap but wrote in his review that the 2000 nit max brightness and minimum of one nit make this watch incredibly functional to use in the middle of a sunny day, or in the darkness of your room in the early morning. Apple Watches haven't introduced a ton of exciting upgrades over the years, but we do like that with this sale price, you can grab the 45mm Series 9 for about $70 cheaper than you would the 41mm Series 9 at full price.

AirPods Max are currently $449.99, certainly not as impressive as the $398 price tag we saw earlier in July, but we're still happy to see them under $500. Buy them now for 18% savings of $99.01.

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 6:00 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest deals on unlocked phones during the first day of Prime Day 2024.

We rounded up the best unlocked phone deals during Prime Day. Check out our favorite picks:

The best early Prime Day unlocked phone deals at a glance: BEST MOTOROLA DEAL Motorola razr+ (256GB) $599.99 at Amazon (save $400) Get Deal BEST SAMSUNG GALAXY DEAL Samsung Galaxy S24+ (512GB) $819.99 at Amazon (save $300) Get Deal BEST GOOGLE PIXEL DEAL Google Pixel 8a $449 at Amazon (save $50) Get Deal

If you're due for a phone upgrade, Amazon Prime Day could be the perfect opportunity to scoop one up for a steep discount. Snagging an unlocked phone at Amazon eliminates the annoyance of coordinating a trade-in or new data plan at a specific carrier. Plus, you can usually find better deals.

Prime Day has officially kicked off today, July 16, but in true Amazon fashion, deals started popping up days ahead of time — particularly on Motorola and Samsung Galaxy phones. Apple iPhone deals have been no-shows so far, while a single (but stellar) Google Pixel deal is on our radar. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled throughout the sale though.

Here are the best unlocked phone deals we could find at Amazon the day before the annual shopping event. We'll be refreshing the list now that the sale has officially begun, so keep checking back for the latest and greatest deals.

Just released two months ago, the Google Pixel 8a is "a compelling option for anyone who’s overdue for an affordable Android upgrade" — especially when you see its price tag. Mashable's Alex Perry called it "the best deal in Android-land" at full price, and just 24 hours before Prime Day, it's even better with a $50 discount. Besides the $100 gift card preorder deal, this is the first discount we've seen on this budget-friendly phone. It's basically a lite version of the Pixel 8, sharing the same Tensor G3 chip, over 24-hour battery life, Magic Editor and Magic Take camera tools, storage options, 8GB RAM, and up to 120Hz refresh rate. Where it differs is its size (it's just 0.1 inches taller and wider with a slightly smaller display), audio (no spatial audio, one less microphone), and camera.

Deal hunters, gather round: Amazon Prime Day is back for its tenth year. And with the big event finally here, thousands of Prime Day deals are officially live.

Though the flagship summer sale officially started in the wee hours of July 16, Amazon's been releasing early Prime Day deals ever since it announced the event's dates in late June. (Much like Black Friday, Prime Day is less of a one-off and more like an ongoing season.)

We're providing live updates on the top Prime Day 2024 deals right here, so be sure to bookmark or check this page regularly. Trust us, it's a lot easier than scrolling through hundreds of thousands of discounts. That's what you have us for, right?

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day 2024 officially runs from Tuesday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 17. The shopping event typically happens in mid-July, so this year is right on par with years past. Prime Day ends at midnight PT on July 17, so plan your shopping accordingly.

What kind of deals can you find this year?

Anyone who's shopped a Prime Day sale before already knows the drill: It will be two days of site-wide doorbusters, with Amazon's own devices and services getting the steepest price drops. You can save up to 71% on Amazon Echo devices, and many of Amazon's Fire TVs have never been more affordable.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2024: Everything Prime members need to know

In a repeat from Prime Day 2023, Amazon also revived its invite-only deals program, giving select shoppers a chance to grab extra-exclusive doorbusters that are likely to sell out. Prime members can visit these products' listings to request an invitation; if chosen, you'll receive an email with a unique link to buy the item during the sale. (Amazon doesn't specify how it picks these lucky shoppers; all we know is that they're exclusive to Prime members.) Check out Mashable's invite-only deals guide if you want to participate.

Case in point: The budget version of Apple's famous smartwatch has never been more affordable. The GPS + Cellular version of the Apple Watch SE is priced at just $249.99. Even though it's not as advanced as the Series 9, it's still one of the most sophisticated wearables and fitness trackers in the world, with improved workout metrics, sleep tracking, and fall and crash detection. Best of all, it's never been priced this low.

Amazon hasn't been making TVs for as long as some other manufacturers, but in a few short years, it's proven it can make some of the best budget and mid-range TVs in the world. The 4K Omni Series is firmly in the mid-range, but for Prime Day, it got a price drop that puts it in budget pricing territory. With Amazon's Fire TV OS, it's smarter than most similarly priced TVs, with excellent Alexa integration and voice control. For gaming, this TV comes with three HDMI ports (including an HDMI eARC).

A $74.99 tablet is hard to square with all the talk of inflation. But we're not going to argue with this deal. For Prime Day 2024, many of Amazon's tablets are down to their lowest-ever prices. The Fire HD 10 has a 10.1-inch full HD display and 13 hours of battery life, perfect for binge-watching a new TV series on the couch. This tablet was just released in 2023, and Amazon promises it offers 25 percent faster performance compared to the previous generation of Fire tablets.

"On sale for an all-time low $649.99 (normally $999.99), last year's Motorola razr+ is a budget-friendly alternative to other foldable flip phones like the Google Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) reviewed the razr+ with an 'Excellent' rating, crediting its larger 3.6-inch outer screen and striking 6.9-inch internal display. While it comes in several different colors, only the black and blue variants are down to a record-low at Amazon." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

"We're big fans of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth said, "In terms of audio quality, noise cancellation, and battery life, I'm more impressed the longer I use these earbuds." At a regular price of $299 though, they don't come cheap, but there's no better time to buy than during Prime Day. They're down to $229, their lowest price ever, giving you $70 off for 23% savings." — Bethany Allard, Shopping Reporter

"The small-but-mighty SoundLink Flex from Bose just dropped to a record-low $99 at Amazon in its limited edition chilled lilac colorway.

It can automatically detect whatever position it's in to give you the most immersive listening experience and it'll last you about half a day on a single charge.

"Launched last summer, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 was dubbed the 'king of the Android smartwatch mountain' by Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry. The sixth iteration saw a suite of added sleep and fitness features, including a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, and irregular heart rate notifications. Plus, it lasts longer on a single charge and features a 20 percent larger display than previous models." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Like all of the best Prime Day deals, this price drop easily beats this product's lowest-ever price. Now that Prime Day has started, the 40mm version with Bluetooth dropped to a record-low $159.99.

The best Prime Day robot vacuum deals Opens in a new window Credit: Eufy Our pick: Eufy X10 Pro Omni 🔥✨ $599.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $200.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The very best Roomba might be at its best sale price yet, but it's still not the best robot vacuum deal during Prime Day. Rather, you can actually stack more automated cleaning features for a few hundred dollars less by snagging the Eufy X10 Pro. This CES 2024 release has only been on sale a few times since it came out in January, its 25% one being the most severe yet.

Both have pretty powerful suction, recognize objects like phone chargers, empty themselves, and mop with force. But after mopping, only the Eufy X10 Pro will self-wash and dry its own mopping pads, prepping it to scrub the next floor with clean pads. Having tested both in her own apartment, senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart says that not having to deal with soggy mopping pads made her subconsciously reach to open the Eufy app over the iRobot one for pretty much every task.

Everything you need to know about Prime Day 2024, from a team of professional deal hunters

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 9:20 p.m. EDT This story has been updated with new board game deals during day one of Prime Day 2024.

Amazon Prime Day is turning 10 this year, and the members-only sale is already panning out to be a huge draw for sticker shock-weary shoppers on the hunt for summer deals. (Granted, not every deal is worth it.)

Here's what you need to know about Prime Day 2024.

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is an annual sitewide sale open to paid and trial members of Amazon's Prime subscription service. First held in 2015 in honor of Amazon's 20th anniversary (with mixed success), it was originally plugged as a "one-day-only event filled with more deals than Black Friday." In the years since, it's morphed into a 48-hour affair that's preceded by weeks of preview offers. Prime Day is a misnomer at this point.

For the past two years, Amazon has hosted another major two-day sale for Prime members in October, teeing up its Black Friday festivities. (The 2022 version was called "Prime Early Access Sale," and it was renamed to "Prime Big Deal Days" in 2023.) However, the summer iteration of Prime Day has remained Amazon's flagship sale.

When is Prime Day 2024?

Prime Day is now live from Tuesday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 17 in 2024. This lines up with Amazon's historical preference for early-week slots in mid-July. (For reference, Prime Day 2022 was live from Tuesday, July 12, through Wednesday, July 13, and Prime Day 2023 ran from Tuesday, June 11, through Wednesday, July 12.)

What are the best Prime Day deals?

In doling out many of its steepest price drops ahead of Prime Day, Amazon is keeping things in the family. A slew of Echo devices from Amazon's in-house brand of smart home gadgets are sitting at all-time low prices for Team Prime, including the all-new Echo Spot (44% off), the Echo Show 8 (43% off), the Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (71% off), and the Echo Frames (37% off, plus a free Echo Pop). Prime members can also snag five free months of Amazon Music Unlimited, three free months of Audible Premium Plus, and three free months of Kindle Unlimited if they haven't subscribed before. Meanwhile, Prime Video rentals and purchases are up to 50% off.

The best early Prime Day deals at a glance: Best laptop deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M3) $849 at Amazon (save $250 with on-page coupon) Get Deal Best earbuds deal Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen) $34.99 at Amazon (save $85) Get Deal Best smart speaker deal Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 at Amazon (save $35) Get Deal Best smartwatch deal Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS, 41mm) $279 at Amazon (save $120) Get Deal Best robot vacuum deal Eufy X90 Pro $449.99 at Amazon (save $450) Get Deal Best kitchen deal Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer $69.99 at Amazon (save $50) Get Deal Best unlocked phone deal Motorola razr+ (256GB) $599.99 at Amazon (save $400) Get Deal Best home deal Shark Clean Sense Air Purifier $119.99 at Amazon (save $120) Get Deal

Outside of the Amazon ecosystem, we're seeing some new all-time lows on big-ticket tech, including Apple devices. The 41mm Apple Watch Series 9 is marked down to $279 (30% off), the second-gen AirPods are now only $69 (47% off), the AirPods Max have dipped to $394.99 (28% off), and the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air is sitting at $849 (23% off). The latter is easily Amazon's best Prime Day laptop deal.

Amazon is also granting access to a selection of invite-only deals during Prime Day. (Their exact timing is between Andy Jassy and God.) If you're interested in a cheap pair of Sony headphones, a $150 SodaStream bundle, a $103 Foreo Luna mini 3 bundle, or an original Peloton Bike for just over a grand, hustle and request an invitation ahead of time — they were still up for grabs at the time of writing.

The Mashable shopping team is keeping a close watch on the sale, so if you don't want to comb through every listing yourself, bookmark our guide to the very best Prime Day deals.

Can you shop on Prime Day without being a Prime member?

You have to be a Prime member in order to shop Amazon's Prime Day deals. But if you don't want to commit to a monthly or annual paid subscription, you can still participate by scheduling a free 30-day trial of Prime around the sale. Just remember to cancel it as soon as Prime Day is over to avoid getting charged.

Who's competing with Prime Day?

Other retailers traditionally hold competing sales during Prime Day, but this year, only Best Buy is going head-to-head with Amazon.

The electronics store's Black Friday in July sale runs from Monday, July 15 to Wednesday, July 17 (or a full 24 hours longer than Prime Day). It's not a subscribers-only affair, but paid (Plus and Total) members of the My Best Buy program get exclusive access to certain offers and receive a $50 bonus reward when they spend $500 or more during the event.

Target and Walmart both ran their (unofficial) Prime Day counter-programming last week. However, it's still worth cross-checking Amazon's sale prices with their listings, just in case they randomly decide to match or one-up their prices.

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 July 17's Wordle solution revealed. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

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.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Wordle.

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 used to be available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it. Unfortunately, it has since been taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times.

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.

Here's a subtle hint for today's Wordle answer:
