This is it, folks, we're now into the final day of this year's second Amazon Prime Day deals event, also known as the rather less catchy, Amazon Early Access Sale. You'll still need to be a Prime member (grab a free trial) to take advantage of most of these deals, and they will expire at midnight PST tonight sadly. 

The virtual extravaganza has come out fighting with low prices on this year’s hottest tech and gadgets, including laptops, PCs, and gaming consoles. The event presents a chance to score some early savings ahead of other shopping events, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, later this year. A fresh batch of deals landed today and many of yesterday's hottest picks are still going strong too. We'll be live blogging around the clock right until the end, rounding up the best deals and discount you shouldn’t miss.

While Amazon has its must-haves, we’re also seeing some of this week’s best discounts from other retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Microsoft, and more as they're keen to grab your attention too and not let Amazon have all the fun. No membership is required at those stores either!

Welcome to our Prime Early Access Sale live blog! We’re just getting started ahead of this week’s event and looking out for the savings you can take advantage of right now. While we’re still early, and Amazon hasn’t put its complete catalog of deals live quite yet, we’re already ramping up our coverage on one of the year’s biggest shopping events.

Windows Central will be blogging throughout the two-day event, and later I’ll be joined by other team members, rounding up our top picks from all corners of the website. In the meantime, get your wallet ready, and keep your eyes peeled as more deals start hitting the Amazon homepage.

In the meantime, we recommend ensuring you have an active Amazon Prime membership or take advantage of the generous free trial available to new subscribers during the Prime Early Access Sale. — Matt Brown, Windows Central Senior Editor

The sale is fast approaching, but you’ll need to wait a little longer for Prime Early Access to get started. Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale kicks off at 12 a.m. PDT / 3 a.m. EDT on Oct. 11 for those in the U.S. and Canada with deals running 48 hours, through Tuesday and Wednesday. There’s a similar 12 a.m. kick off in other regions, with deals cycling out throughout the day.

We’ll be rounding up the best deals in the lead up to and during the event, so make sure to check back for the latest from the sale. — Matt Brown

Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is now live across the world — you can check the highlights via Amazon's Early Access Sale hub.

We’re just getting started and scoping out the deals available across the site, though rest assured, we’ll be rounding up the best of the season over the coming 48 hours. Don’t forget you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of these offers, though Amazon does offer a free trial if you’re new to the service.

Microsoft’s beloved 2-in-1 has received a tempting price cut thanks to the Prime Early Access Sale, slashing up to 27% off the PC range. Microsoft Surface Pro 8, the latest in the company’s staple line-up, marks its most powerful yet, and it’s now more affordable than ever.

Prime Early Access Sale discounts only apply to its i7-equipped models, with prices starting at $1,169.99 for an Intel Evo Platform Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. Amazon has also discounted the same model with 512GB and 1TB SSDs, plus its top-spec config with a monstrous Core i7, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD trio.

With Microsoft expected to bump its Surface Pro specs in a new model this week, it’s a welcome price cut anticipating the news. While Microsoft’s Surface Pro hasn’t seen drastic changes in a long time, it remains a popular choice for portable computing. That 13-inch touchscreen pairs great with Windows 11, with a range of keyboards and pens also available, blurring the line between a laptop and a tablet.

Razer Book 13 Laptop (i7, 16GB, 512GB SSD) $2,000 Now $1,259.99

 Razer made its name in gaming, but the Razer Book 13 flexes the brand’s ability to step outside that box. This 13-inch ultrabook is one of the best compact Windows PCs on the market, delivering great performance in a slick, sublime chassis.

The Razer Book 13 competes with devices like the Dell XPS 13 and MacBook Pro, ideal for professionals, creatives, and regular laptop users demanding a premium machine. It’s lightweight with a robust aluminum body, a 13.4-inch display, and high-end hardware under the hood. Windows Central Executive Editor, Daniel Rubino, stated the Razer Book 13 was an “easy recommendation,” among the best ultrabooks money can buy.

The Prime Early Access Sale cuts the Razer Book 13 down to just $1,259.99, which nets you an Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It also has a 3840x2100 (4K) screen, undercutting the HD versions available on Amazon. It’s at the lowest price yet on Amazon, beating an all-time low of $1,500 last Prime Day.

Cheap Logitech mice, keyboards, and more from $10

Kitting out your home office on the cheap? The Prime Early Access Sale has discounted a wide range of affordable accessories from Logitech, including mice, keyboards, headsets, and webcams.

It’s best to avoid questionable Amazon brands during these sales, with reputable names offering more reliable products. Logitech has been a go-to in PC accessories for decades, among the best-reviewed options, especially when on a budget.

Prices start as low as $10 for the affordable Logitech M170 wireless mouse, with the Logitech MK270 mouse and keyboard reduced to $20 for a simple desktop combo. The Logitech C615 webcam has also dropped from $70 to just $28.99, offering full HD video, beating out many laptop webcams.

Don't want Windows? Apple's signature MacBook Air has dropped to an all-time low on Amazon, with prices starting at $799 this Prime Early Access Sale. It's a rare discount on one of the best premium laptops on the market, powered by Apple's M1 silicon, having made headlines for its performance and efficiency in an ultra-thin form factor.

This is Apple's first MacBook Air with its acclaimed M1 chip, ideal for the web and everyday computing, with additional overhead for heavier workloads like photo and video editing. While Apple has since launched its redesigned MacBook Air, even further than its predecessor, this MacBook Air still exists as its most affordable Mac on shelves.

This entry-level MacBook Air has an M1 chip, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD, offering incredible value at $799. The Air is also known for unrivaled battery life, quoted up to 18 hours, with fanless cooling and a slick all-metal chassis.

The discount applies to all three Silver, Space Gray, and Gold finishes. It's also available with AppleCare+ for $998, providing extra cover over three years, including instances of accidental damage.

The Prime Early Access Sale has discounted hundreds of laptops from top PC makers, including many at their record-low prices. It’s tempting to be swept by the cheap offers, though it pays to be cautious when shopping for a new PC.

We’ve scoured all the Prime Early Access offers and hunted down the cheapest laptops we can actually recommend. The CHUWI HeroBook Pro 14.1 tops that list, a 14-inch notebook with an impressively low price which we called a “steal” in our review. It’s now just $172 on Amazon, down from $258 during the Prime sale.

 The latest CHUWI HeroBook Pro 14.1 has a 1080p HD screen with an Intel Gemini Lake N4020 chip, 6GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD. It has all-day battery life, quoted up to 9 hours, with a compact and lightweight form factor fit for travel. It also runs Windows 11.

 “With an all-day battery, 1080p display, and all-around decent design, the HeroBook makes it easy to live with some of its shortcomings,” stated Senior Editor, Cale Hunt, in our review of its earlier 2019 model. If you don’t expect great performance or cutting-edge features, it’s a solid pick for browsing the web, editing documents, watching videos, and other light tasks.

Gateway 15.6-inch Notebook

While the Prime Early Access Sale puts Amazon in the spotlight, don’t overlook deals at other retailers. One highlight at Walmart is this Gateway laptop bundle, packing a laptop, mouse, and accompanying carry case into one easy purchase. Better yet, it’s 60% off right now, ideal for those wanting an effortlessly easy PC for the home.

This Gateway laptop isn’t winning any awards, with entry-level specs that will only get you through some web pages, documents, and some odd entertainment. It’s not suitable for gaming or any demanding tasks, though its low price makes this ideal for casual computing.

 The specs list includes an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD. The highlights are a big 15.6-inch HD screen with dual stereo speakers, fit for watching movies and other videos online. It also ships with Windows 11, guaranteeing the best of Microsoft’s latest OS. Plus, the quoted 8.5 hours of battery life make it fit for traveling, with its accompanying carry case to prevent bumps and scratches.

Crucial P5 Plus Review

(Image credit: Windows Central)

We've already seen a lot of great storage deals from Amazon's Prime Early Access event, but this is one of the best if you're looking to upgrade or build a new PC. We reviewed the Crucial P5 Plus earlier this year, noting that its price-to-performance ratio is about the best that you're going to find. That's even more true now that the regular $100 price tag for the 500GB model has been slashed down to $58 for a 42% saving.

This M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, in our testing, hit about 6,400MB/s read and 5,060MB/s write speeds, making it ideal for gaming or general large file transfers. These SSDs come with a five-year warranty and a 300TBW rating, meaning you can expect to get a lot of use out of the drive without worrying about durability.

Broadcasting seamless Wi-Fi to your entire house isn't always easy. Radio signals get lost on their around corners and down hallways, and the farthest corners from your router might not be getting a proper signal. That's an issue for anyone frequenting those corners, say in a bedroom or a basement. A popular solution is mesh Wi-Fi, which generally includes a number of nodes to complement a router, all broadcasting the same signal from different areas.

TP-Link's Deco P9 (AC1200) is a fairly powerful option, offering coverage for up to 6,000 square feet (give or take some feet, as this is a claim made by TP-Link). The system is easy to set up, and it includes two nodes and one main router. It's a dual-band system, but its AV1000 powerline backhaul channel means you don't have to worry about slowdowns when the nodes are talking to each other. Regularly priced at $230, it's now down to just $150 for Amazon's Prime Early Access event.

Can't stand the spotty Wi-Fi? Have a big area to cover with a signal? TP-Link's Deco P9 can theoretically cover up to 6,000 feet with AC1200 performance and has a dedicated powerline channel for backhaul traffic.

Remember last year when no one could find a good graphics card to buy, on sale or not? Yeah, us too. That has thankfully changed this year as the value of crypto took a dive, allowing PC gamers to get their hands on new GPUs without overpaying. In fact, the GPU market has healed up so much that we're again seeing deals on cards.

The Zotac Gaming Twin Edge OC RTX 3060 Ti, a GPU that can easily handle modern AAA games at high framerates even in 1440p, is currently enjoying a 25% discount during Amazon's Prime Early Access event. Instead of the regular $530 asking price, you'll instead pay just $400. If you've been waiting awhile to upgrade your PC or build something new, this is a fantastic mid-range card even in the face of NVIDIA's RTX 40-series GPUs being launched.

Amazon's Prime Early Access event is full of high-profile tech items on sale for hundreds of dollars off the regular price, but let's not forget about the small accessories that can make a huge difference. One of our colleagues fried some tech in his office over the weekend, and we don't want you to do the same.

This six-outlet surge protector power bar is the key, at least as long as you don't need more than 1,000 joules of suppression. The power strip has six regular outlets as well as two USB-A ports to charge accessories. It's regularly priced at about $17, but it's currently down to less than $12.

Amazon might have a lot of the focus today, but a bunch of other major retailers are also hosting flash sales. Best Buy in particular has a bunch of great deals on gaming laptops and PCs from major manufacturers. The HP Omen 40L caught our eye in part thanks to the huge discount and in part thanks to the hefty amount of performance hardware inside.

It has inside a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12400F CPU, 16GB of HyperX DDR4 RAM, a 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card for excellent upper mid-range performance. It's all contained in a sleek 40L tower with RGB lighting and decent airflow.

Samsung's 980 Pro is one of the best M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs you can buy right now in terms of durability and performance, but these drives generally cost more than competing SSDs that come very close to measuring up.

That's all changed thanks to Amazon's Prime Early Access sale, which has the 2TB version of the 980 Pro down to just $190. That's 50% off the regular $380 price tag. The M.2 SSD is capable of hitting read speeds up to 7,000MB/s and write speeds up to 5,000 MB/s, plus its endurance is rated at 1,200 TBW with a five-year warranty.

What makes it so great? The 13.4-inch FHD+ display has a 60Hz refresh rate and excellent color reproduction and contrast, the keyboard, haptic touchpad, and speakers are all top-tier, and it has one of the best designs currently on the market. 

This specific model has a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P CPU, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, a 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, and Intel's integrated Iris Xe graphics. Instead of the regular (and fairly steep) $1,699 price, this XPS 13 Plus is down to $1,349. That's a much more reasonable cost that puts it in line with a lot of lesser laptops that Dell has to offer.

There have been some tasty GPU and gaming PC deals already flying by today, and we know that some of you are no doubt looking for a new high-performance gaming monitor to accompany the new performance hardware. If you're looking to focus more on refresh rate than size, Dell's 24.5-inch S2522HG monitor might be the ticket.

Those are some great specs to pair up with a new GPU, and the addition of NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium means you don't have to choose a specific card for the extra reduction in screen tearing and stuttering.

(Image credit: Zotac)

The last couple years have been extremely hard on anyone trying to navigate the GPU market, with prices through the roof and stock anywhere but on the shelves. That's all changed in recent months as the value of cryptocurrency fell drastically, and many PC gamers are now able to get their hands on one of the most important parts of their build.

If you're looking for a GPU that can handle 1080p gaming at or above 60FPS with modern titles, the GTX 1660 Super is likely going to be the best option for the asking price. Zotac's version of the GTX 1660 Super has a dual-fan cooling setup, 1,785MHz clock speed, and takes up two expansion slots. It's ideal for more compact builds that don't have a ton of room. 

Regularly priced at $290, it's down to $200 at Amazon during the Prime Early Access sale. That's the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Xbox Cloud Gaming is taking off, and many people are jumping on board for gaming on the go with just a phone. But a phone's small display gets smaller when you have to use on-screen controls, and holding a slim phone isn't exactly comfortable. That's where the GameSir X2 Pro comes in.

The GameSir X2 Pro attaches to your Android phone and provides Xbox-licensed dedicated controls, turning your device into something like a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. Along with the controls you already know from Xbox gaming, it has a heatsink integrated with the clamp to keep your phone cool.

These headphones are widely compatible with a variety of platforms. Whether you use an Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, or Android phone, you'll get a lot of use out of the Arctis 1. It comes with a USB-C dongle that lets you use it on platforms you wouldn't normally be able to.

The detachable microphone includes ClearCast technology that helps with noise cancelling. That means when you're using it to talk to your team, it'll only be your voice they hear and not the game's explosions in the background.

These big sales events are a great time to look at the stuff you might not normally invest in. Splurge a little bit or buy an item that you think you need but never wanted to spend the money on. I think a robot vacuum like the iRobot Roomba i4+ EVO falls right in line with that. It's an awesome smart home device that can even empty its own trash bin, uses Wi-Fi mapping, and works with Amazon Alexa for easy voice controls. It works on carpets and does well with pet hair. 

There are a lot of other options, too, if this one is too much vacuum for you. Check out some of other devices, including robot mops and and some more budget-oriented options.

Plus it works with Amazon Alexa for voice control.

We love network-attached storage devices. We talk about them all the time. There's so much you can do with a good NAS, including setting up a Plex server or just consolidating all of your home media into one easily accessible server. The DS220j 2-bay NAS is a fantastic choice, too, if you're thinking about getting a NAS for the first time. It already sells at a reasonably affordable price, and today thanks to Prime Day it's down to an even better low price. 

One thing you should know about this NAS is that while it comes with two bays, it is a diskless NAS. So you will have to buy the hard drives separately. Luckily for you, Amazon's Prime Day deals has you covered. You can get several variations of the WD Red Pro on sale today as part of Prime Early Access, including the 6TB version for just $139.99 from a street price of $190.

ASUS is a top manufacturer to check out if you want a budget laptop, but this Vivobook Go 12 L210 is beyond anything else I've seen today. This is a low-end laptop, but at just $130 it might be the perfect device to have around the house for homework or general productivity like email and word processing.

It has an 11.6-inch display with 1366x768 resolution, keyboard with respectable 1.4mm travel, and varied port selection including USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI. Performance hardware includes an Intel Celeron N4020 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage. Again, this is a low-end laptop that won't fare well with multitasking or gaming, but at $120 off the regular price it's hard to beat.

The new NVIDIA RTX 4090 launched today, and our live blog following available stock has been feeding people the cards they need. If you didn't happen to get your hands on the latest hardware (which, by the way, is wildly impressive), this NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti from ZOTAC might fill the void. That's especially true when it's almost 50% off. Regularly priced at $1,900, it's now down to just $1,000. That's a massive deal.

The RTX 3090 Ti has 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM, a clock speed up to 1.89GHz, and enough power to handle 4K gaming. It might not set you up quite as well for the future as the RTX 4090, but it's still a super powerful GPU that will shred modern AAA games.

Lenovo is another PC retailer hosting its own sales event during Amazon's Prime Early Access, and it's a great place to shop for business and gaming laptops from the ThinkPad and Legion lineups. Those who need a high-performance, durable machine should check out the ThinkPad X1 Extreme (Gen 5), which is essentially a beefed-up premium business laptop with powerful CPU and discrete GPU.

Inside the durable chassis is a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12800H vPro CPU, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

Typing is as good as it gets, the FHD camera is clear, and top-firing speakers pump quality audio.

Not everyone has the time or know-how to build their own gaming PC, which is why the pre-built market is thriving. You'll generally pay a bit more for the privilege of it arriving completely assembled, so grabbing a great deal is extra important. Amazon currently has a sale on the iBUYPOWER SlateMR desktop, set up with enough performance to deliver a quality mid-range gaming experience.

This model has inside an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU, NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 500GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD. It's all contained in a sleek black tower with RGB highlights. Regularly priced at $1,300, it's down to $870 for the rest of the day.

Samsung's T7 Touch is one fork of the Samsung external storage trifecta, which also includes the T7 Shield and standard T7.

Netgear Nighthawk RAX120

Wi-Fi 6 is the next-gen standard that's taking over for Wi-Fi 5, delivering faster and more reliable connections for your net-heavy life. While most new devices are equipped with a modem that can pick up a Wi-Fi 6 signal, you do need to add a router capable of delivering Wi-Fi 6 to those devices. The Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 is one of those routers, and a fairly high-end one at that.

It offers theoretical AX6000 speeds across radios, with coverage that Netgear claims can hit 3,500 square feet. A 2.2GHz processor handles streams and prioritizing traffic, plus there are plenty of ports for connecting your wired and USB devices. Regularly priced at $450, this router is down to just $225 for the rest of the day.
