For Amazon Prime Day 2019, the number of deals have increased dramatically. Amazon's competition has grown, too—but still, this annual summer sale has a long way to go before it rivals Black Friday.
Still, during our hours of poring over deals, we found respectable deals in multiple categories—you’ll find everything from chargers to TVs on the cheap. Tech enthusiasts can find a few diamonds in the rough, too. Overall, it'll pay off to check out both Amazon and rivals like Dell, Walmart, and Newegg, especially if you're shopping for a laptop.
Deals will roll out continually over the course of Prime Day (between July 15 12 a.m. PT and July 16 11:59 p.m. PT), so be sure to check this page regularly for updates. We'll update this article as new deals and new pricing information become available.
Latest updates:
- 7/16/19 @ 1:46pm: Amazon's matching some of Newegg's hot prices on Ryzen CPUs. (Be sure to check out the best competing sales that Newegg's running on PC parts, too.)
- 7/16/19 @ 12:42pm: Added two Astro gaming headset deals to our gaming headsets and mics section. These prices undercut the last best sales by $30 to $40.
- 7/16/19 @ 3:30am: We've added deals for bluetooth trackers and home theater audio gear, along with more bargains on cameras, headphones and movies. (Harry Potter fans are in luck right now.)
- 7/15/19 @ 1:53pm: We've added more PC part, audio, storage, and networking deals.
Note: In order to participate in Amazon Prime Day, you must be an Amazon Prime member. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial to take advantage of these sales prices, and then cancel before you’re charged for the $120 yearly membership fee. For more details (and other ways to get Prime for free), check out this article.
The discounts listed below were picked based on information available at press time, Amazon user reviews, and our own experiences with the products when applicable.
Amazon Prime Day 2019: The best tech deals
We’ve listed the most notable all-day deals below, sorted by category. Our picks focus primarily on PC and Android gear, as well as entertainment and smart-home products. Dedicated Apple fans will want check out our round-up of the best Prime Day bargains on Apple gear.
Be aware that all-day deals can run out of stock before Prime Day is over.
As for Lightning Deals, the company has again increased the number of those short, timed sales. Because they vary in duration and can end with an abrupt halt if their allotted inventory runs out, we won’t list the best of those. We do have some tips to help you make the most of Lightning Deals, though.

Last year's DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K Blu-Ray sales favored sci-fi fans. For 2019, the selections are more scattered across genres, and a few of the deals aren't quite all-time lows. (Though they are still very good prices.) The best bargains are The Sopranos: The Complete Series Blu-Ray collection, the How to Train Your Dragon 3-movie set, and the Mission: Impossible 6 movie collection.
Soundbars, speakers, and audio equipment
- $50 - Polk Audio T15 100W Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
- $120 - Samsung HW-MM45 2.1 Channel Wireless Soundbar

- $205 - Yamaha YAS-207BL Bluetooth DTS Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer
With the exception of the Denon turntable, all of this home theater audio gear matches previous best prices. Sales are relatively rare on this equipment, though, so even a non-all-time-low willl help those who've been waiting for some kind of discount.
We're particularly partial to the Yamaha soundbar—you get great sound with a minimal footprint and at a budget price. (Read more about it in our review.)
Streaming devices
Amazon has its Fire TV sticks on sale, but there's more out there that can be had for less than usual. Head on over to our round-up of the best Amazon Prime Day deals for cord-cutters for all the details.
TVs
We expect more TV deals to come (check out our best Prime Day TV deals round-up for updates on those), but this one isn't a bad one to start with. This popular Sony model comes with HDR support and an IPS screen, and serves as an affordable mid-tier option for those torn between quality and price.
PC
The Amazon deal gods smiled upon the PC for Prime Day 2019: We've never seen quite so many deals. However, those same deities might have been a little tipsy when selecting their chosen bargains, because the opening spread is a bit eclectic. If you're in the market for a Chromebook in particular, you're in luck—there are quite a few to choose from.
Accessories
Gaming Headsets and Mics

- $30 - HyperX Alloy Core RGB Membrane Keyboard
- $80 - HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Mechanical Keyboard, Silver Speed Switches
- $100 - Razer Huntsman Gaming Keyboard, Purple Key Switches
All of these keyboards are at an all-time low, but this is the first time we've seen this version of the K95 at $110. That price shaves off another $20 off the previous best deal.

Chromebooks
- $170 - ASUS C223NA-DH02-RD Chromebook, Red
[11.6" HD screen, Celeron N3350, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC storage] - $170 - ASUS C223NA-DH02 Chromebook, Grey
[11.6" HD screen, Celeron N3350, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC Storage] - $180 - ASUS Chromebook C423NA-DH02

[13.5" 2K touchscreen, Core i5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 128GB eMMC storage]
We'd pen a Dr. Seuss poem if we could about these Chromebooks, but let's just say instead that no matter the screen size, processor type, storage size, or form factor (traditional vs. convertible), these Amazon Prime Day Chromebook sales should have you covered. Every one of them is at an all-time lowest price or very near to it.
Desktop PC
- $300 - Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O
[Core i3-8100, 8GB DDR4 + 16GB Optane, 1TB HDD, 8X DVD, 802.11ac] - $480 - HP Pavilion Gaming PC (690-0020, Black)
[Ryzen 5 2400G, Radeon RX 580, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive] - $1099 - CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Master GMA1394A Gaming PC
[Ryzen 7 2700, 16GB 2400MHz RAM, RTX 2070 8GB, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 802.11AC] - $1,199 - iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC (Trace 9230, Black)
[Core i7-9700k, RTX 2070 8GB, 16GB DDR4, 240 SSD + 1TB HDD, Z370 mobo, liquid CPU cooler, Wi-Fi ready, VR ready] - $1400 - CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Master GMA1396A Gaming PC
[Liquid Cooled Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB RAM, RTX 2080 8GB, 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi]
These days, it's once again cheaper to build a PC instead of buying a pre-built, since GPU, SSD, and RAM prices are back to normal prices. (In the case of SSDs, they're actually cheaper than what used to be normal.)
That said, these three PCs do provide good value for pre-builts—they're pretty close in cost to their DIY equivalents, and when you factor in cost of labor and time saved, the extra cash you'll spend is a very fair amount.
Laptops
- $269 - Acer Aspire 5, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display (A515-43-R19L)
[15.6" 1080p IPS screen, Ryzen 3 3200U, Vega 3 graphics, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Windows 10 S] - $289 - Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576-392H
[15.6" 1080p screen, Core i3-8130U, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 8X DVD] - $749 - ASUS FX504 Thin & Light TUF Gaming Laptop (FX504GE-ES72)
[15.6" 1080p, Core i7-8750H, GTX 1050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 256GB M.2 SSD, gigabit Wi-Fi] - $799 - MSI GV62 8RD-276 15.6" Performance Gaming Laptop
[15.6" 1080p screen, Core i7-8750H, GTX 1050Ti 4GB, 16GB RAM, 128GB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD] - $999 - HP ENVY 13" Thin Laptop w/ fingerprint Reader (13-aq0044nr, Silver)
[13" 4K touchscreen, Core i7-8565U, MX250 graphics, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD] - $999 - Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop
[15.6" 1080p 144Hz screen, Core i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, 16GB RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD] - $1100 - Razer Blade 15
[15.6" FHD screen, Core i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max-Q, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD] - $1250 - ASUS ROG Zephyrus S Ultra Slim Gaming Laptop (GX531GS-AH76)
[15.6" 144Hz IPS screen, Core i7-8750H, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD] - $2,399 - MSI GS75 Stealth-093 17.3" Razor Thin Bezel Gaming Laptop
[17.3" 144Hz screen, Core i7-8750H, RTX 2080 8G Max-Q, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, TB3, Per Key RGB, Win1 0 Home]
Of note are the Aspire 5, Aspire E 15 (one of our favorite budget laptops), the HP Envy 13, and the Helios 300. The Aspire E 15 is down to an all-time low (it's finally dipped below the $300 mark!), while the Envy 13 stuffs in quite a bit of kit (like a 4K touchscreen) for the price you'll pay. For gaming laptops, the Helios 300 packs the latest hardware for a very tidy price.
As for the Razer laptop—well, a 1060 Max-Q hardly sounds like a bargain these days, but when you factor in the Razer premium (which is about as bad as the Apple premium), this actually is a deal.
Looking for more laptop deals? We've crawled through sales on Dell, Newegg, and more—check out our findings here.

PC Parts
Like the PC deals, the PC component bargains are also a little bit random. You'll find some great parts in the mix, though. The most interesting of them is the Threadripper 2920X, which is now available for a song thanks to the recent Ryzen 3000 launch. You're in luck if you need tons of PCIe lanes for your next build on the cheap.
Looking for even more component sales? Newegg's been offering competing sales, which have easily matched Amazon's best and one-upped them.

Solid-state drive prices have been in free fall for months now, so we recommend that you wait if you don't have a urgent need for a high-capacity SSD. Even with the looming threat of tariffs, we think that Black Friday will have better prices. However, if you need a 2TB or 4TB SSD now, these prices are superb.

Best Smart Home deals
It wouldn't be Prime Day without some killer deals on smart-home devices. From speakers to doorbells, alarms, cameras, and everything in between, Amazon has pulled out all the stops, with enough deals to turn any house from boring to brainy. Here are the best deals we've found so far:
Echo speakers
- Echo (2nd Generation) - $50 (50% off)
- Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $22 (56% off)
- Echo Plus (2nd Gen) - $110 (27% off)
- Echo Show (2nd Gen) - $160 (30% off)
- Echo Show 5 - $50 (44% off)
We're big fans of Amazon's Echo speakers, naming the Echo Spot as our top smart speaker and the Echo Dot as the best entry-level smart speaker in our roundup. While the Echo Spot isn't part of this sale, however, the brand new Echo Show 5 is, with Amazon slashing $40 off its price tag to bring it down to $50. We're still in the process of reviewing the five-inch Show, but it left a great impression in our hands on, with a great compact design and excellent Alexa support. And if you don't want a screen in your smart speaker, the other options here are great too, with most at or near all-time-low prices.
Smart locks, alarms, and doorbells
- Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell (first gen) with Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $70 (53% off)
- Ring Alarm 5 Piece Kit + Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $119 (52% off)
- Ring Alarm 8 Piece Kit + Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $144 (55% off)
- Yale Assure Lock SL with Z-Wave Plus - $153 (30% off)
- Ring Video Doorbell Pro with Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $169 (43% off)
- August Smart Lock Pro + Connect, 3rd gen - $175 (37% off)
- Ring Alarm 14 Piece Kit + Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - $199 (58% off)
If you're looking for peace of mind in your smart home, there are some great options here. The August Smart Lock Pro is one of the best locks in the business, earning our pick as the best retrofit smart lock in our roundup. We also like the Ring Alarm system, calling it "an absolute bargain" with a "smooth-as-silk installation process" and "everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system," so any of the nicely discounted options (which include varying amounts of sensors, motion detectors, and keypads) here will serve you well. And finally, the Ring Doorbell is on sale for the lowest price we've seen. Both models come with a free Echo Dot for Alexa integration, but keep in mind that the Pro is one for wired connections, so if you don't have an existing doorbell, the all-time-low price on the first-gen WiFi model is the way to go. And finally, the Yale Assure Lock SL with Z-Wave Plus is a fantastic improvement over the Bluetooth model, even if it does eat through batteries pretty quickly.
