Self-emptying robot vacuums on sale during Prime Day

Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 1:40 p.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest self-emptying robot vacuum deals from Prime Day 2024.

Best self-emptying robot vacuum deals at Amazon Best budget deal Shark AV2501S AI Ultra $409.00 (save $140.99) Get Deal Best robot vacuum mop combo deal Eufy X9 Pro $449.99 (save $450 with code X9PROEUFY) Get Deal

If a robot vacuum is the big purchase on your radar this Prime Day, you're clearly someone who sees the value in automating one of the most tedious chores. Consider stretching that convenience past the vacuuming itself with a self-emptying robot vacuum — there are already a handful on sale at Amazon for the first official day of Prime Day 2024, including a Shark, Eufy, and Narwal model at more than 50% off.

SEE ALSO: Shark vs. Roomba: Comparing top-rated robot vacuum lineups

Your self-emptying options at Amazon currently range from budget models at $300 or $400 to more premium robot vacuum and mop combos dropping from their usual near $1,000 price point to a more digestible $500-ish price tag. A few of those premium self-empty docks are also decked out with the ability to self-wash and self-dry the mopping pads — the ultimate automation experience, now much more affordable than usual.

If you're not ready to make a move quite yet, keep checking back to this list — we'll be updating it accordingly as Amazon inevitably drops new robovac discounts through the shopping event. For now, all newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Eufy's X9 Pro debuted in fall 2023 and sits right in the sweet spot between the X8 Pro (which doesn't mop) and the X10 Pro Omni (which is sitting at its MSRP of $799.99). The X9 Pro is much more reminiscent of the X10 Pro Omni than it is the cheaper X8 Pro: It has a flat edge to get into corners, it mops, empties into a self-cleaning station that washes and dries the mopping pads, and uses AI to detect and avoid small obstacles like phone cables. As a mopper, the X9 Pro provides more elbow grease than many competitors thanks to double-pressurized, rotating mopping heads. These automatically lift above the ground if carpet is detected.

Roomba deals are stellar this Prime Day

Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 1:14 p.m. EDT This list has been updated with a several Roomba deals that went live on the first day of Amazon Prime Day 2024.

The tea that is the failed acquisition of iRobot by Amazon must not have been too scalding, because Amazon still has a soft spot for Roomba deals.

On and off throughout the year, Amazon drops prices on top Roombas (among other competitive robot vacuums) by up to 50%, whether that's during a shopping holiday like Black Friday or during a random week.

Prime Day certainly isn't random, and though the lead-up was a bit dry, Roomba deals have come out in full force as of July 16, offering savings of up to 50%. We were keeping our fingers crossed for a sub-$900 price tag on the Roomba Combo j9+, and Amazon more than delivered with a $799 sale price.

Check out the discount below, along with more of the best Roomba deals for Prime Day.

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

We were keeping our fingers crossed for a big price drop on our favorite Roomba come Prime Day, and thankfully Amazon delivered. Though $799 is still an investment, the j9+ will give you your money's worth and then some, offering impressive navigation and small object detection, a SmartScrub technique that'll deliver a deep clean, and enough suction power to thoroughly clean your carpets. The self-emptying dock also has a water tank that automatically refills the vac tank for up to 30 days. If you're looking for the ultimate robot vacuum and mop for an incredible price, look no further.

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 8:00 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest live robot vacuum deals, including a new Shark and Roomba model at record-low pricing.

It's officially Prime Day, and after Walmart's underwhelming robot vacuum deals during Walmart+ Week, we're counting on Amazon to deliver the goods. We're confident they will, as Amazon is typically the best place to find robot vacuums on sale throughout the year, whether it's a shopping holiday or a random Tuesday in September when your current corded vacuum sends you over the edge.

Despite ditching its plans to buy iRobot, Amazon is still the best retailer to find a Roomba on sale, slashing its prices by 25% and 50% throughout the year. We manifested those same Roombas to reach new record-low pricing as Prime Day nears — and our wishes came true. The Roomba Combo j9+ dropped below $800 — its best price ever.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day Roomba deals are starting to trickle in

We're also hoping that Prime Day leads to new all-time low prices on other premium robot vacuums released at CES 2024 in January. The Eufy X10 Pro Omni has already dropped below $600, and now we're just waiting for the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to get its very first discount— we've tested and loved both.

We've been tracking the best robot vacuum deals on Amazon for weeks leading up to Prime Day, and we'll continue to update our list as more deals become available. Note: All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

$1,399.00 Save $600.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Sound the alarms! The very best Roomba is on sale at its very best price — ever. Its typical price of $1,399 is a whole lot of money to shell out on a vacuum, even if it does a spectacular job of keeping your floors clean. However, this Prime Day deal gets you 43% savings for a whopping $600 off. That means this combo robot vacuum and mop has officially hit its lowest price ever.

$799 is still a lot of money to spend, but having tested the j9+, we're confident it's worth every penny. Not only will it effortlessly sweep your floors, but it mops them too, using its SmartScrub technique, for some added elbow grease. The self-emptying and charging dock makes this vacuum virtually hands-free, as an added water tank refills the smaller tank on the vac.

Amazon's smart home devices have fallen to record-low prices for Prime Day 2024

Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 8:10 a.m. EDT This story has been refreshed with Amazon's latest Prime Day deals on Echo devices.

The best Prime Day Echo deals at a glance: Best Echo smart speaker deal Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 at Amazon (save $35 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Show smart display deal Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) $84.99 at Amazon (save $65 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Buds deal Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen, Wired Charging Case) $34.99 at Amazon (save $85 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Frames deal Amazon Echo Frames (3rd gen) Prescription Ready + Echo Pop $169.99 at Amazon (save $139.99 with Prime) Get Deal

Amazon loves to keep things in the family on Prime Day: Discounts on its in-house lines of gadgets are plentiful and steep during the retail giant's annual members-only sale. This is especially true for its Alexa-enabled Echo smart home devices and wearables, which frequently enjoy Prime Day deals exceeding the half-off mark. New year-round lows are not uncommon.

With Prime Day 2024 now live through Wednesday, July 17, Amazon is in peak form. The just-announced Echo Spot smart alarm clock is on sale for the first time with Prime, while all styles of the third-generation Echo Frames are sitting at all-time low prices (again, only for Prime members). One of them comes with a free Echo Pop, too.

Most notably, the second-gen Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation have hit a new record-low of $34.99 for Team Prime — a 71% discount on their usual retail price of $119.99. Amazon is advertising other (smaller) Prime Day device discounts across its site, but shoppers can go ahead and ignore those, apparently.

I mean... it's right there! Credit: Screenshots via Amazon / Mashable composite

Bundles featuring Echo smart speakers and Echo Show smart displays are also up for grabs, though most of the devices themselves have yet to hit their cheapest price points. You may want to hold off on adding those to your shopping cart in case they dip further as Prime Day progresses.

Read on for an overview of the best Prime Day Echo deals that are worth snagging right now, according to Mashable's team of shopping experts. Check back often, as we'll be updating our picks constantly over the course of the next 48-ish ours.

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

The all-new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock with a built-in speaker and a customizable digital face, which shows colorful animations in response to different prompts and questions. (It looks a lot like an upgraded Echo Pop.) You can control it with Alexa voice commands or by tapping its display.

Available in Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue, the Spot is now on sale for just $44.99 (normally $79.99) for Prime members through July 17 "in celebration of Prime Day," per an Amazon blog post — a 44% savings. You can also bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb worth $19.99 for just under $2 more.

A fall 2023 release, the latest version of Amazon's eight-inch smart display features an edge-to-edge touchscreen display, spatial audio support, and a built-in smart home hub. There's also a centered 13MP camera for video calls. The Mashable team hasn't reviewed the Echo Show 8, but our sister site PCMag called it "the best smart display for most people thanks to its big sound, sensible screen size, and Alexa’s extensive abilities." It earned a 4.5/5 "Outstanding" rating and an Editor's Choice nod over there.

At $84.99 with Prime (or 43% off), this is the Echo Show 8's lowest price since launch; it's now $5 cheaper than it was last Black Friday. Note your options to bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb (worth $19.99) or a Blink Video Doorbell (worth $59.99) for just $2 or $10 more, respectively.

Read Mashable's full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen).

We'll keep things short and sweet: Thirty-five bucks for comfortable, decent-sounding wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation is just stupid. (Hell, we've never seen the standard Apple AirPods without ANC dip lower than $69.) Less than $10 now separates these 2021 Echo Buds from last year's entry-level/non-ANC version, which have a more polarizing semi-in-ear design, so it's exceptionally easy to recommend them for most people.

Amazon's third-generation Echo Frames are smart glasses that can play music, stream podcasts, and take calls hands-free. They're equipped with Alexa, so you can also use them to control compatible smart home devices. They offer up to 14 hours of battery life and come in up to five styles, depending on the lens type: Black Rectangle, Black Square, Gray Rectangle, Blue Round, and Brown Cat Eye.

All variants of the Echo Frames are currently on sale for a record-low of $169.99 for Prime members — that includes the Frames with prescription-ready lenses (normally $269.99), with polarized sunglass lenses (normally $329.99) and with blue light-filtering lenses (normally $299.99). However, only the former come with a free Echo Pop smart speaker worth $39.99.

Bluetooth speaker deals for Prime Day 2024: Record lows on JBL, Ultimate Ears, Bose, Sony, more

Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 11:47 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest Bluetooth speaker deals at the start of Prime Day, including a new record-low price on the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 and Wonderboom 4.

No summer is complete without a soundtrack. But even if you max out your device's volume, you'll be left disappointed. In order to really crank the songs of the summer wherever you go, you need a Bluetooth speaker.

Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day falls in the dog days of summer (formally July 16 and 17) and serves as a great time to shop for Bluetooth speakers. The mega-retailer has dropped prices on top audio brands like Bose, Sony, JBL, and more.

With Prime Day finally here, we're tracking the best Bluetooth speaker deals with some standouts from Bose, Sony, Wonderboom, and Amazon's own devices.

We'll be updating this page regularly with the latest deals on Bluetooth speakers as Prime Day continues. If you don't see anything that catches your eye just yet, check back soon.

The small-but-mighty SoundLink Flex from Bose just dropped to a record-low $99 at Amazon in its limited edition chilled lilac colorway. That's 34% in savings and — unsurprisingly — 99 cents less than we saw it at during Target Circle Week. Amazon loves to outshine the competition. The SoundLink Flex's got a rugged texture and is completely waterproof, so it's designed to go wherever you go. 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. Grab it in purple, green, stone blue, or white smoke.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are sitting at a new all-time low price on Amazon today of $229, a $70 savings off the usual price of $299. The Bose earbuds come with three listening modes: quiet mode, aware mode, and immersive mode. In quiet mode, you'll get to enjoy Bose's world-class noise cancellation technology, while aware mode shifts to include environmental noise around you. Immersive mode moves you into full noise cancellation with the Bose Immersive Audio experience. The Ultra earbuds come with nine sets of ear tips to make sure you're getting a comfortable pair of earbuds that are worthy of wearing for hours. Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds late last year and wrote, "So far, I've had the chance to spend 45 wonderful days with the Bose Ultra earbuds, and they've become my new go-to buds for air travel, music, and work calls." Scoring a 4.6/5 in the review, the earbuds also earned a Mashable Choice Award.

These babies offer all-day battery life (even with noise-canceling engaged) and solid noise cancellation quality with three different audio settings. They're not the most intuitive and the price is a bit steep at $429. However, ahead of Prime Day, you can snag them for a more affordable $349 instead.

While they're not an essential upgrade if you're already the proud owner of the first-generation AirPods Pro, the second-generation earbuds are definitely better "in many small ways," Mashable's Stan Schroeder writes.

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.

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is a great value speaker when it's at full price, making it even more of a get marked down about $43. The price cut comes as Ultimate Ears has just released their next gen of the speaker (we're currently testing it to see if it belongs on the list of our favorites), but it doesn't seem there's a stark difference between the two speakers. If you need a speaker that's compact and rugged, and don't care too much about having customizable EQ or a companion app, the Wonderboom 3 will check your boxes.

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

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.

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:

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
