Frequently Asked Questions
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is still going strong, but it ends at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, which means you’re running out of time to save. The best Prime Day tech deals let us get some much-needed relief from all of this year’s price hikes, and there have been a lot of them. Mashable’s reporters and editors test tech year-round. For Prime Big Deal Days, we’re pairing those hands-on findings with price-history checks to help you decide what’s worth buying, which upgrades are worth paying for, and where a cheaper model will do the job. We’re looking for discounts on devices we’d actually recommend: earbuds that stay comfortable through a commute, e-readers with responsive page turns, and creator cameras that will help you stand out from the crowd.

Our top picks include $79 AirPods, a $103.99 Kindle, and $190 off Bose’s first-generation QuietComfort Headphones. We’ll be updating this guide right up until the Prime Big Deal Days event ends, so keep checking back for more Prime Day tech deals.How do we pick deals? A low price doesn’t automatically make a good deal. We prioritize products recommended in Mashable’s reviews and buying guides, then use price-tracking tools such as camelcamelcamel to check whether the discount is unusually good. We also compare other retailers’ listings rather than assuming Amazon has the lowest price.When we’ve tested a product, we explain what stood out in actual use. We also flag Prime membership requirements, third-party sellers, and other conditions that could change the value of an offer. With all this in mind, let’s break down the top Prime Day tech deals so far.The best AirPods dealsWe’ve got two great offers on AirPods to share. First, a Prime Day classic returns: The $79 AirPods 4 (on sale at Walmart only). These are the budget pick for iPhone users who prefer earbuds without ANC. One important distinction: this deal is for the version without active noise cancellation. In our AirPods 4 review, we tested the ANC model, but the buds have the same design. We found they stayed secure through flights and a treadmill run, although our reviewer experienced some discomfort after roughly eight hours of wear. The AirPods 4 reached $69 last Black Friday, so $79 isn’t their all-time low. But it is the lowest price so far in 2026 — and a reasonable buy. If you’re a real music lover, then you may prefer the AirPods Pro 3, which have a more comfortable fit, active noise-cancellation, and premium features like heart-rate monitoring and live translation. We gave these buds one of the highest scores of any device we reviewed in 2025, and they’re still popular one year later (read our full review).

A Kindle for just over $100The 2024 Kindle is on sale for $103.99, a 31% discount, with an option to bundle three months of Kindle Unlimited for free. It’s the pick for readers who want a small, lightweight e-reader rather than every feature in the Kindle lineup.In Mashable’s review, Lead Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino found that the six-inch Kindle fit easily into a small crossbody bag, turned pages quickly, and displayed crisp, high-contrast text. Its 16GB of storage gives you room for thousands of books without stepping up to a more expensive model.The trade-offs matter: this Kindle isn’t waterproof and doesn’t have the Paperwhite’s adjustable warm light. Amazon also rates its battery life at up to six weeks, compared with up to 12 weeks for the 2024 Paperwhite models. Choose the basic Kindle for portability and price; consider a Paperwhite if you read in the bath or want more control over nighttime lighting. You can also check out the brand-new Kindles Amazon just announced, though they aren’t on sale (womp, womp).

Save on Apple’s newest MacBooksWe’ve been waiting for good deals on Apple MacBooks, and Amazon has finally delivered, with both the MacBook Air and Pro on sale.If you’re a professional creative, developer, or AI enthusiast who needs a compact new laptop for work, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option than the 14-inch, M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro. The “base” configuration with 36GB of RAM and 2TB of storage got a $500 price increase back in June, which bumped it from $3,599 to $4,099. But right now, Amazon has it on sale for just $3,499 — a $600 savings.If you don’t need the powerful MacBook Pro’s features or the price tag, you can go with the M5 MacBook Air while it’s on sale for $1,099, or $200 off the normal price. Not only is it highly portable, but it also uses the M5 chip, and it stays in a moderate lane without going wild with features not everyone needs. It’s a great buy for students or professionals.

Get 46% off a 4K streaming stickAmazon’s Fire tablets have been safe from price hikes so far, but the retailer raised the prices of all its Fire TV streaming sticks by at least $5 in August. The 4K Plus model went from $49.99 to $69.99. Nevertheless, Amazon will sell it to you for just $37.99 right now. (You can also try the coupon code STREAM4K, as we’ve seen it work at times this week.) FWIW, this is Amazon’s cheapest media player with support for Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Nvidia Geforce Now, and Alexa Home Theater, a surround sound feature that works with Echo devices.

A new all-time low on an Apple Watch Dropping to the lowest we’ve seen at Amazon, the Apple Watch SE 3 is down to $199. In Mashable’s guide to the best smartwatches, the Apple Watch SE 3 takes the cake as the best model for most people. The SE was the first Apple Watch to include an always-on display, and we’re always thrilled to look down and see the stunning OLED display. Plus, the S10 chip is the same as the Ultra 3, which costs nearly $800 at full price.

A huge discount on a huge QLED TVThe 65-inch TCL QM8L is the best QLED TV for most people, according to Leah Stodart, our former TV expert. She praised its “superb peak brightness, detailed picture quality, and fantastic glare handling.” (QLED TVs in general “are ideal for people whose TV usage happens mostly in the daytime, especially watching sports,” to quote her TV specs guide.) The 85-inch QM8L is down to $2,147.99 for Prime Big Deal Days — which is an even deeper discount than the $2,497.99 price point we were hoping to see. If you’ve been holding out for a TV deal, now’s the time to take the plunge.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator ComboThe DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo is the more practical upgrade for creators who want steadier footage and better audio without building a full camera rig. The bundle includes a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, battery handle, and mini tripod — not just the camera.The Pocket 3 combines a one-inch CMOS sensor with a three-axis mechanical gimbal, which stabilizes footage as you move. Its rotating two-inch touchscreen makes switching shooting orientation straightforward, while ActiveTrack 6.0 can keep you centered during a solo, talk-to-camera recording.For creators who edit beyond basic cuts, support for 10-bit color and D-Log M provides more flexibility for color grading. That’s the reason to consider this older camera: the useful features are still here, even if a newer model exists. Read our review of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4.

A premium OLED TVSamsung’s S95H OLED TV is our tech editor’s dream TV, but it’s impractically expensive, even when it’s on sale. Fortunately, the brand’s S90H OLED TV is also a phenomenal TV, and it just dropped to its lowest price ever, making this one of the best Prime Day TV deals of the sale so far (honestly, it’s one of the best Prime Day deals, period).It’s definitely an investment, but if you’re a gamer or cinephile, then this is a future-proofed TV with a stunning, glare-free display, a speedy AI processor, and a sleek design.
