It's Prime Day in October: Our picks of the best tech deals are here

[TS Dealmaster]

Amazon's October Prime Day is back – and it's bigger than ever. What started nearly a decade ago as a mid-year shopping experiment has grown into a twice-yearly retail event that tech lovers now plan around. This fall's 48-hour Prime Day runs for two days (Oct 7-8) across the US and UK, while Canada's sale continues through October 10.

As always, we're doing the hard work for you – combing through thousands of listings to uncover the best discounts on PC components, laptops, headphones, smart home gear, and more. Check back often as we update this roundup with the top deals you won't want to miss.

Most of our picks are high-rated products we'd recommend year-round – but this week, they're going for less. The colored number on the left is our Product Finder score, pulled from reviews across the web.

It's Prime Day in October: Our picks of the best tech deals are here

 

[mgwerner]

Of course Amazon runs "prime" day for 2 days.

 

[toooooot]

That mac mini is selling for 500 bucks every few months while it gets older and older due to its m4 chip.
I like it for the ability to upgrade storage though. Something lik that would probably be an Apple computer I would get.

The M4 is only a year old. It's not like they're selling a M1 mini.

I wish they'd kept the old Mini design. It looked much nicer. The new one looks like a knock off apple TV...

Picked up a new 4tb samsung m.2 drive. Had an extra slot so f' it.
