It's October, which means it's time for another Prime Day sale. Unlike July, which had four straight days of deals, Amazon is opting for a traditional two-day sale this month: Oct. 7 and Oct. 8. During these "Big Deal Days," there are a ton of deals on devices across the tech spectrum. But just because something is discounted doesn't make it a good deal, so I've reviewed Amazon's offerings to find the best deals on technology.
The best Prime Day deals on laptops
M4 MacBook Air (13-inch) $799.00 at Amazon $999.00 Save $200.00 Get Deal Get Deal $799.00 at Amazon $999.00 Save $200.00M4 MacBook Air (13-inch): $799 at Amazon (was $999): If you need a new laptop, few options out there are going to offer a better value than the M4 MacBook Air. At $800 for Prime Day, you get the capable M4 chip with 16GB of RAM. Unless your work involves professional graphics or requires significant processing power, this setup will likely get the job done for years to come.
M4 MacBook Pro (14-inch): $1,399 at Amazon (was $1,599): I don't think this MacBook is for everybody, but I do think it's for anyone who wants "pro" features at a decent price. This is the same M4 chip as in the Air, but with the Pro, you get a higher-quality mini-LED display, HDMI port, SD card slot, an extra USB-C port, and 512GB of storage. Is that worth the extra $600 over the 13-inch Air? Probably not for most people. But if you're really interested in the "best" MacBook design Apple has to offer, this would be the way to go.
Alienware 16 Aurora: $1,179.99 at Amazon (was $1,399.99): Dell's gaming laptop line, Alienware, has some deals for Prime Day. For $1,180, you can get a 16-inch laptop with an Intel Core 7-240H chip, 16GB of RAM, RTX 5060, and a 1TB SSD. There are also other deals on more powerful Alienware laptops.
Galaxy Book5 Pro: $1,199.99 at Amazon (was $1,699.99): Samsung's 16-inch Galaxy Book5 is heavily discounted this Prime Day. This model features a 2880x1800 120Hz touchscreen display, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
The best Prime Day deals on tablets and e-readers
iPad A16 (128GB) $279.00 at Amazon $349.00 Save $70.00 Get Deal Get Deal $279.00 at Amazon $349.00 Save $70.00iPad (A16): $279 at Amazon (was $349): The best iPad for most people is at a great price for Prime Day. You can pick up this 11-inch iPad for as low as $279; however, you may want to consider a model with more storage. The 256GB model is currently 16% off at $379, and if you think you'll need that extra storage, it'll be worth that $100 extra in the long run.
Kindle Colorsoft: $199.99 at Amazon (was $249.99): While not a traditional tablet, Kindles remain among the best e-readers you can buy. The Colorsoft comes with the added benefit of a color display, which is especially useful for reading graphic novels.
Boox Palma 2: $269.99 at Amazon (was $299.99): If you're willing to spend a bit more on an e-reader, you can't really go wrong with the Boox Palma 2. It's a favorite of Lifehacker editor Joel Cunningham, in part because it combines the convenience of Android with the e-ink display typically found on an e-reader. You can download whatever reading app you want onto this device, but its limitations mean you won't want to bother with distracting apps as you would with a smartphone.
The best Prime Day deals on phones
Pixel 9 (128GB) $549.00 at Amazon $799.00 Save $250.00 Get Deal Get Deal $549.00 at Amazon $799.00 Save $250.00Google Pixel 9: $549 at Amazon (was $799): This is Google's 2024 flagship smartphone, and while the Pixel 10 is also available, you'll save $100 by going with the previous-gen. Last year, our editor Michelle Ehrhardt thought the Pixel 9 was so good, you didn't need the Pro.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: $749 at Amazon (was $1,099): That said, if the Pro is more your speed, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is also on sale for Prime Day. You can save 32% on this phone, which comes with a larger higher-quality display, extra RAM, and a higher-resolution camera.
The best Prime Day deals on smartwatches
Apple Watch Series 10 $309.00 at Amazon $429.00 Save $120.00 Get Deal Get Deal $309.00 at Amazon $429.00 Save $120.00Apple Watch Series 10: $309 at Amazon (was $429): Apple's latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 11, is great. Last year's model, the Series 10, is also great, and it's currently available for anywhere from $80 to $90 less. If you're okay missing out on hypertension alerts and 5G connectivity, the Series 10 is the way to go.
Pixel Watch 3 (41mm): $170.99 at Amazon (was $249.99): If you have an Android device, especially a Pixel phone, the Pixel Watch 3 is a great buy. The 41mm is the most affordable option here, but both wifi-only models are $70 off for Prime Day. Similarly, the LTE models are each $100 off. The 41mm LTE watch, for instance, is $249.
Galaxy Watch 7 (40mm): $199.99 at Amazon (was $249.99): If you're looking for a simple yet capable Galaxy Watch, the last-gen option has the second-biggest savings among Samsung watches. You can save a bit on Samsung's latest Galaxy Watch 8, for example, but compare its current discount of $314.98 to the Galaxy Watch 7's $199.99. For Galaxy users who want to track workouts and stay up to date with notifications, the Watch 7 is a great deal.
Garmin Venu X1: $699.99 at Amazon (was $799.99): As Lifehacker editor Beth Skwarecki explains, this is the first time Garmin's Venu X1 watch is on sale. And it's a great first sale, as Amazon has the watch discounted by $100. If you're looking for an Apple Watch Ultra alternative that offers Garmin's excellent exercise tracking tech, this might be a great option.
The best Prime Day deals on earbuds and headphones
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) $169.99 at Amazon $249.00 Save $79.01 Get Deal Get Deal $169.99 at Amazon $249.00 Save $79.01AirPods Pro 2: $169.99 at Amazon (was $249): AirPods Pro 3 might be Apple's latest and greatest "pro" earbuds, but they cost $250. The AirPods Pro 2, which are still excellent earbuds in 2025, cost $80 less this Prime Day. You'll still get an outstanding audio experience, seamless connections across your Apple devices, and great ANC and transparency modes.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2: $169 at Amazon (was $229): If you have an Android phone, especially a Pixel, you should consider the Pixel Buds Pro 2. These buds are currently $169, which is 26% off their MSRP, and offer great ANC in a lightweight package.
AirPods Max (USB-C): $429 at Amazon (was $549): I love my AirPods Max, but they're pretty difficult to recommend at their MSRP. When they're 22% off for Prime Day, however, it's a different story. $429 is still a hefty price tag for a pair of over-ear headphones, but if you're fully committed to the Apple ecosystem, these headphones are fantastic. They sound great, work across all your Apple devices, and have exceptional ANC—perfect for frequent fliers.
Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones: $199 at Amazon (was $359): If you're looking for Bose-level ANC, but prefer an over-ear experience, these headphones might be for you. Amazon currently has them 45% off for Prime Day.
The best Prime Day deals for gaming
Meta Quest 3S (256GB) $329.00 at Amazon $399.99 Save $70.99 Get Deal Get Deal $329.00 at Amazon $399.99 Save $70.99Meta Quest 3S: $329 at Amazon (was $399.99): If you've been waiting to jump in on VR gaming, Prime Day might be your excuse. The 256GB Meta Quest 3S is currently 18% off, and comes with Batman: Arkham Shadow to boot. If you want to save even more, you could pick up the 128GB version for $249, which instead comes with Gorilla Tag.
There are also some decent deals on console games right now, including:
Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo Switch): $51.80 at Amazon (was $59.99).
Elden Ring (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X): $26.58 (Xbox) or $29.99 at Amazon (was $35.99 (Xbox), $39.95 (PS4) and $49.99 (PS5)).
