The 99 Absolute Best Prime Day Deals We'd Spend Our Own Money On We've gone from A to Z to find Amazon's best Prime Day deals on the gear worth owning. We've officially entered the final leg of Amazon Prime Day. On this last day of the annual sale event (which actually lasted four days this year), we're here to sift through the piles of junk deals and find the diamonds in the rough. Not all deals are as good as retailers would like you to think. That's why the WIRED Reviews team tests products all year so that we offer recommendations on Prime Day that we can stand by. Our sole mission for the remainder of the day is to show you deals on products you've been wanting to buy and to introduce you to some you didn't even know you needed. We'll be keeping this list updated through the end of today, but don't wait too long as the hottest deals aren't guaranteed to last until sundown. This is our very favorite MagSafe power bank . Wireless and MagSafe charging aren't always the fastest or most efficient, but despite its bulk, this large-capacity bank can top off modern phones once (or maybe a little more than that) without overheating or taking forever. One of the best budget wireless chargers is even more affordable thanks to Prime Day. You can buy fancier, faster wireless chargers, but if you just want a simple option that'll top off your phone, this is worth checking out. It can deliver up to 10 watts, though you'll need to supply your own wall adapter. Want something that can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop? This generous 25,000-mAh capacity can do it all, but stops shy of the carry-on air travel limit. The maximum output is 165 watts for two devices, but 100 watts for a single device. It has lovely rounded edges, a retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top, and a snazzy, durable, braided 1-foot USB-C cable that doubles as a carry loop. Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy. While it's only marginally cheaper than the RTX Nitro V 16, it's the most affordable gaming laptop with an RTX 5050 you can buy right now.

Times are hard in 2026. These Amazon Prime Day deals under $100 on earbuds, Kindles, and other tested products should help make life just a little bit easier. Amazon Prime Day hits different in 2026, even if it is the last day of the week-long event. Prime Day is often a moment to pick up a big-ticket item--and there are great Amazon Prime Day TV Deals, Prime Day Apple Deals, and Prime Day Tech Deals aplenty for those in need of a serious life upgrade. But honestly, this year has been a bear for most people I know.

There's no better time to get a Kindle than during Amazon's own sale event. There's a pretty easy rule to buying a Kindle: Wait for a sale. Amazon's Prime Day Kindle deals, which happen every summer and fall, plus other sale events like Black Friday, always offer the best prices. While Amazon's summer Prime Days were in July in previous years, this year it started early and ran for the entirety of this week. Today's the final day, so there's no time to waste if you want a better price for a Kindle.

These Prime Day vacuum deals will give your home the cleanest summer yet. The summer sale extravaganza has come early this year, and while this is one of many sale events you'll see between now and the holidays, these Prime Day vacuum deals are still going for the final day of the summer sale event. You can get the Shark PowerDetect ($300), for $100 cheaper than usual, or the already affordable Bissell PowerClean FurFinder ($150) with an extra discount. The best robot vacuum we've tried, the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal ($850), also has a fantastic price tag this week for how powerful it is, and you can get great wet vacuums like the Narwal S30 Pro ($335) on sale too. All of these models and more that we've tested and love are on sale right now for the final day of Prime Day, so snag yourself a cheaper price tag for your perfect robot vacuum, stick vacuum, or hand vac while you still can.

From MacBooks to gaming laptops, these are the very best deals on some of my very favorite laptops for Amazon Prime Day. Amazon's sale is upon us, and with it, some of the best Prime Day laptop deals. I test laptops all year, so that when it comes to these big sales events, I can recommend devices I've personally tested. The last thing you want to do is make a spur-of-the-moment decision on a particularly cheap laptop that you'll regret in a week. These are all fantastic laptops for their price, and in many cases, they're at significant discounts.

Anthropic's critics argue it's rapidly accumulating power. The company says that's what responsible AI development looks like. Anthropic has spent the last five years warning the world about how advanced artificial intelligence could enable mass destruction, destabilize society, and cause a litany of other grave harms. But simultaneously, it has become one of the most powerful forces pushing AI capabilities forward. The company is now among the top developers and distributors of cutting-edge AI models and courts customers like the US military.

Apple has dramatically jacked up the price of MacBooks, making the current Prime Day pricing that much more enticing. The company called price increases on its products "inevitable" just a couple of weeks ago. On Thursday afternoon, they became official on Apple's website. Its flashy new MacBook Neo is up $100, now at $699. Meanwhile, the MacBook Air gets a $200 price hike, now starting at $1,299.

Amazon-owned MGM Studios' decision to drop the OpenAI movie is just part of AI and film industries becoming increasingly intertwined. On, we take a look at where this is all headed. This week on Uncanny Valley, our hosts discuss Amazon's controversial decision to drop Luca Guadagnino's film about OpenAI's Sam Altman--which reportedly did not paint him in a favorable light. Alongside Google DeepMind's $75 million brand new partnership with indie film studio A24, how much of a dent is AI actually having in the films we see? They also dive into the recent upheaval of workers--from electricians to software engineers--against data centers. Plus: Meta's program to track employees' data gets paused after a massive leak, and Anthropic is now getting along with the government thanks to CEO Dario Amodei no longer being in the room.

I just took a quick break from Prime Day to do a 15-minute workout on the Hydrow Arc rowing machine . Hydrow is the Peloton of rowing machines. The Arc is the top-of-the-line offering from Hydrow, which makes touchscreen-enabled machines that provide real-time stats and gentle coaching via video, and it is sadly not for sale on Amazon or during Amazon's annual event. However, two other machines from Hydrow are included, among them the successor to the original, which we gave an 8/10 review during the late pandemic home-workout boom . The Wave is 11 percent off, while the Origin is discounted by almost 25 percent.

The premium Aerogarden Bounty is 63 percent off for Prime Day--a rare chance to buy one of our favorite hydroponic gardens for less than $100. I'm not sure whether this is an error or a last-minute clearance, but I'm not questioning it: Aerogarden's high-end Bounty model, which usually retails for $220 or more, has just been marked down 63 percent, to $84. Even though I already have one, this is still such a good deal that I'm buying another as a gift. When someone brand new to hydroponic gardening asks me which system they should start with, I almost always tell them to begin with an Aerogarden. These gardens have been around forever, and they're famously foolproof and easy to maintain--just add water and nutrients every couple of weeks. No futzing with pH or total dissolved solids or pipes and hoses.
