60+ best Prime Day tech deals, vetted by a tech editor on a budget

Table of Contents

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I literally get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, robots, and laptops. On a more depressing note, all year long, I've been reporting on endless price hikes, but now that Prime Day 2026 has arrived, I can finally write about price drops.

So, with Prime Day ending today, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals you can grab before prices go back up. Remember: Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs until Friday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT, and the Mashable shopping team will be providing round-the-clock coverage until the final minutes. Only the very best Prime Day deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — make the cut.

The Mashable shopping team doesn't just pick random Amazon deals. We use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure we're directing you to the lowest price at any given moment.

So, with all this in mind, here are my favorite Prime Day tech deals of 2026. I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm also leaning on recommendations from my colleagues on the Mashable tech and shopping teams. Many of these deals are already showing the dreadful countdown timer, so be sure to scoop them up ASAP before time runs out.

Record-low prices on the latest Apple Watches

The latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day has delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

Save up to 50% on Bose headphones

Bose makes the most comfortable headphones in the world, according to both our readers and product testers. On the final day of Prime Day, you can still save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. But make note that the deal countdown timer is already hovering, meaning it will disappear as soon as Prime Day concludes. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are only $70 off, you can save big on some of the brand's other audio products.

Kindles starting at $85

Our favorite Kindles rarely go on sale, but you can always count on Prime Day for some discounts on these popular e-readers. For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.

Amazon Echo Spot

The best Prime Day tech deals always include a few Amazon devices, which get discounts up to 75% for the annual summer sale. And for the final day of Prime Day, Amazon dropped prices on its popular smart alarm clock even lower, offering a 50% discount. For a few more hours, you can grab the Echo Spot for $39.99. This has been one of the most popular deals among Mashable readers during Prime Day — and that was before the surprise price drop.

Save $350 on the new MacBook Air

Updated on Friday, June 26 at 2:41 p.m. ET: As of this writing, Amazon's entire inventory of MacBooks is selling out, including the new M5 MacBook Air. We're leaving this laptop in this shopping guide in case more inventory becomes available, but it looks like you've missed your chance to score this deal.

I tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is the 15-inch model is still on sale at Amazon for $1,149 in select colors. The bad news is MacBooks are literally flying off shelves because of the impending price hike. Thanks, RAMageddon. This same base model M5 MacBook Air will soon be $1,499, so grab it while you can. The 13-inch option has already disappeared from Amazon (you can still grab it at Costco, no membership required).

Anker chargers starting at $25.99

Looking for the best Prime Day deals under $50? I've got you.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN USB-C wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and my earbuds at the same time. If that seems like overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day. Fair warning — the latter is almost sold out.

The best Apple AirPods deals

Apple's AirPods deals weren't quite as impressive as we hoped overall (wishful thinking, I guess) this Prime Day, but we still recommend grabbing the AirPods Max 2 headphones while they're down to a record-low $399 and the AirPods Pro 3 while they're down to only $179 (just $10 shy of their record-low). Unfortunately, Amazon's stock of the AirPods Max 2 has disappeared, but Walmart still has them on sale for their Prime Day price (though they're going fast as well!). Likewise, the AirPods Pro 3 are going in and out of stock at Amazon and Walmart based on your location — I suggest grabbing them ASAP.

Restock on memory products

Thanks to the global memory shortage, prices on SD cards, hard drives, and memory components have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in 2026, with no end in sight. While deals on MicroSD cards and portable SSDs used to be a staple of Amazon sales, that's less true of late. Still, you can find some good deals on memory products at Amazon.

If you need a new MicroSD Express card for your Switch 2, a Samsung card is at its lowest price in months. And if you need a regular MicroSD card, you can pick up a 1TB Samsung card for $80 off. This is the first time that particular drive has gotten a discount.

LG C5 Series 65-inch OLED 4K Smart TV

For the final day of Prime Day, Amazon has dropped prices by an extra $100 on this award winning OLED TV. Previously, I'd been recommending Samsung's S90F OLED as the top TV deal of the event, but my calculus has changed. My advice: Grab this TV before it sells out. LG's C Series OLED TVs are famous for their incredibly crisp, vivid, and bright displays, and the 65-inch model has never been priced this low.

Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle

Technically, this isn't a Prime Day tech deal, as the new Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle first launched a few weeks ago. But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular titles to bundle with the console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save.

Get 50% off Jackery power stations

I've loved Jackery power stations long before they became the trendy new "it" product. For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far.

Bose Soundlink Flex speakers

Bose has discounted its popular Soundlink Bluetooth speaker by as much as 34%. I've personally tested this line of speakers, and I can vouch for them being loud, highly portable, and easy to use. Plus, they come in a wide range of colors. That doesn't affect the sound, obviously, but it's a nice touch.

Record-low prices on Samsung TVs

I've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.

Best Prime Day TV deals under $500

If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.

For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.

50% off Fire TV Stick Deals

The best Prime Day tech deals always include savings on the Fire TV streaming sticks, which start at just $9.99 this year for select Prime members. (When buying the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, look for an on-page coupon or use the discount code FTVSELECT at checkout.) If you're not ready to buy a new smart TV, then upgrade your older model TV with these streaming sticks. During the Amazon sale, these devices are on sale for up to 75% off.

Prime Day deals on Sony headphones

The past-gen Sony XM5 headphones have 95% of the same features as the new flagship XM6 headphones, but during Prime Day, they have a much lower price. So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

Affordable wireless earbuds

Prime Day is known for its outrageously low earbuds deals and this year is no different. You can get some of our favorite budget earbuds from Soundcore for under $25 while the sale is still live. Or, if you prefer buds with a little more panache, check out the CMF Buds Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds from trendy British brand Nothing.

Headphones under $100

If your headphones budget maxes out at $100, you still have some solid options during Prime Day. Heck, even if it maxes out at $50, you have a great selection to choose from. Our go-to budget Sony headphones have literally never been more affordable, and you can grab the always-popular Beats Solo 4 for $99. Both pairs are 50% off for Prime members.

Save on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8

Full disclosure: I fully expect Samsung to release a new Galaxy Watch in July at the next Galaxy Unpacked event, though it's likely to get minor upgrades. All the new stuff should come via Gemini, which is also available on the excellent Galaxy Watch 8. Grab this Mashable-tested Android smartwatch while it's 38% off.

Fitness tracker deals

Right now, the Oura Ring 4 is available at unprecedented prices, with select sizes starting at just $214. (Remember, if you're not sure of your size, order the Oura Ring sizing kit first.) However, this smart ring isn't the only screen-free fitness tracker we love. You can also grab the Mashable-tested Whoop MG fitness tracker for its best-ever price, and during Prime Day, your purchase includes a 12-month Whoop membership, too.

The best gaming laptop deals

Even during Prime Day, gaming laptop deals aren't easy to find, thanks to the ongoing memory shortage. However, I do have two compelling options for you, including one with an RTX 5070 GPU. Typically, Amazon doesn't have the best laptop deals, but both of these offers come from Prime-land.

First, we have the Acer Nitro V 16S Gaming Laptop, which is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, and plenty of RAM and storage. This is a more-than-capable laptop for gamers who don't want to mess around with building a PC. And if you want something with even more power, check out the ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop.

Mashable readers and reviewers alike appreciate DJI's cult-favorite creator tools. The brand makes some of the most popular gadgets for professional content creators, and no DJI products are more popular than the TikTok-famous DJI Mic Mini and
