Synology Prime Day deals slash up to $100 off the best NAS servers

Microsoft's Surface Earbuds feature round touch — ahem — surfaces for controlling audio and calls. They come in a convenient carrying case that delivers an extra eight hours of battery life. They even integrate with Microsoft Office. So what's the drawback? Normally their price. But that's not the case today, as the Surface Earbuds are $99 for Amazon Prime Day.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal Gaming Headset | $499 $394 at Amazon
The B&O BeoPlay Portal is the world's most expensive Xbox headset, typically costing as much as an Xbox Series X itself. For Amazon Prime Day, it's down from $500 to $400, netting you a pretty tidy saving on what is ultimately the most premium Xbox headset on the market. What makes it so expensive?

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite | $160 $115
Xbox cloud gaming is great, but games designed for TV screens are a bit of a slog on a small device like your typical smartphone. While some games work well, others have user interfaces designed for larger displays, making them hard to understand or read on smaller screens. As such, I typically opt for larger screens to get my Xbox cloud gaming on, and the Galaxy Tab A7 from Samsung is a great option for it.
While this tablet isn't particularly fast or powerful, it is USB-C and can run the Xbox Game Pass app flawlessly, which is essentially what you want for cloud streaming games. It's also a decent option for ebooks and streaming video at 8.7 inches, making it a "mini" tablet, but still bigger than most smartphones. Just don't expect to be doing anything particularly strenuous on this lower-end device.
For Amazon Prime Day, it sheds almost a third of its typical price from $159 down to just $115.
Galaxy Tab A8 | $229 $159 at Amazon
As a fan of Xbox Cloud Gaming, I find the small screens on a typical smartphone to be prohibitive in lots of games on Xbox Game Pass, owing to the fact they're designed for larger displays like TVs. Unreadable text, tiny UI elements, and in-game details are hidden behind a tiny screen can make some games barely playable. As noted earlier below, I prefer larger screens for cloud gaming, but what if you want something more laptop-sized?
If you want something larger than the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite I posted earlier, the Galaxy Tab A8 is a 2019 edition tablet, that clocks in at 10.4 inches. It's not the most powerful tablet in the world, but it's more than adequate for running lighter games, ebook readers like Kindle, streaming apps like Netflix, or indeed, Xbox Cloud Gaming, with its 1200p resolution screen. It also beats the Tab A7 and Tab A on battery life, with a beefy 7040 mAh that should compliment cloud gaming quite nicely.
Down to $159, this tablet easily becomes one of the best tablets for Xbox Cloud Gaming while we wait (possibly in vain) for Microsoft to make its very own Xbox handheld.
Intel Core i5-12600KF | $312 $218 at Amazon
The Intel Core i9-12900K may be the big daddy of Intel's Alder Lake processors, but it's the Core i5 range that tick all the right boxes for performance, efficiency, and value. The Intel Core i5-12600K is one of our favorite CPUs of this 12th Gen family and the Core i5-1200KF is just as good, aside from not having an integrated GPU.
It's on sale right now for Amazon Prime Day, allowing you to save upwards of $100 on a 10-core processor. This thing is ideal for gaming, even up to 4K with the best graphics card you can afford. And because you'll need a GPU to use with the Core i5-12600KF, be sure to check out our best GPU Prime Day deals (opens in new tab) for some helpful pointers on where to look.
Razer Blade 15| $2,099 $1,899 at Amazon
I've been using Razer Blade laptops for years, and noticed that one of the company's flagship RTX 30xx series models is enjoying a decent $100 off the typical asking price for Amazon Prime Day.
This Razer Blade 15 model sports an Intel 11th gen octacore i7 CPU, alongside an RTX 3070, a 1080p 144Hz display, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD (both of which can be upgraded). The Razer Blade laptops pack an impressive amount of power into a chassis that defy typical gaming laptop designs — sleek, stylish, and subtle, integrating Thunderbolt-3 and RGB lighting for some added flair. This is one laptop that will last you a seriously long time, and one I cannot recommend enough. Quite easily among the best gaming laptops out there.
ASUS E410 laptop | $250 $100 at Best Buy
You're not going to be playing high-end video games or doing 4K video editing on this laptop, but if you need something absolutely basic for browsing the web, processing word documents, or doing online shopping, you could do far worse than this impressively-priced 14-inch notebook from ASUS.
As part of this week's Prime Day shenanigans, the cheap and cheerful E410 comes down to just $100 at Best Buy, making it one of the most affordable big-brand laptops on the entire market right now. It's as basic as they come, with a very entry-level Intel processor, a sub-HD 768p screen, alongside 4GB of RAM and just 64GB of storage.
This laptop is for those who need something absolutely bare-bones for doing the absolute basics. And for that, this is a pretty great deal.
Xbox Series X (Refurbished) | £450 £384 at Microsoft
Microsoft's Xbox Series X is a powerful device designed to deliver the best performance for console games. It can power the best Xbox games at 4K and often reach frame rates of up to 120 FPS.

It's not exactly a Prime Day deal, but it's a good deal on Prime Day.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold | £1,669 £900 at Lenovo
Lenovo was the first company to ship a foldable Windows PC. The ThinkPad X1 Fold features a 13.3-inch OLED touch display that can fold in half, somewhat like the Galaxy Fold 3. Unlike today's popular folding phones, the ThinkPad X1 Fold is a full PC running either Windows 11 or Windows 10. It even comes with a mini keyboard that can lay across one half of the device's display, making the entire setup function like a traditional laptop. Normally, it costs £1,669, but right now, Lenovo has it discounted down to £900.
Echo Dot (4th Gen) | $50 $20 at Amazon
Alexa-enabled devices are great tools for directing smart lights, music, and more. They're also handy for anyone with an Xbox since they can be used to control the console. Echo devices can play and pause media, increase or decrease the volume on your TV, and even turn an Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox One on or off with a voice command. Right now, Amazon has a sale on the Echo Dot 4th Gen that slashes the price by more than 50%.
Elgato Stream Deck | $150 $100
If you enjoy streaming gameplay, the Elgato Stream Deck is one of the best accessories to pick up. It features 15 customizable LCD keys that can be used to perform a practically limitless combination of actions and shortcuts. During Amazon Prime Day, you can pick up the Elgato Stream Deck for just under $100, which is $50 off its normal price.
Note that the model that's on sale is the original Elgato Stream Deck that launched in 2015, not the newer Elgato Stream Deck MK.2. The overall functionality of the devices is the same, but the newer version supports interchangeable faceplates, a USB-C port, and a detachable stand. If those features aren't important to you, then the original Elgato Stream Deck is right for you, especially at its discounted price.

Save $626 on the XPS 13 (9310) with 3.5K OLED display with Dell's Black Friday in July sale!
The XPS is seriously one of the best laptops you can get, and it's one of our perennial favorites. It's a thin laptop with a solid build, and it's pretty flawless in all the ways that matter. With Dell's Black Friday in July sale, it's even easier to pull the trigger because it's discounted to $1,294. That's $626 off its usual $1,920 price.
This particular configuration has a 16:10 OLED display, and 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 512GB of SSD storage, and 8GB of RAM. You get Thunderbolt 4 ports, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card reader. If you want to check out more of our thoughts about this great PC, check out our Dell XPS 13 (9310) review!
Snag Sony's excellent WH-1000xm4 headphones for $228, their lowest price yet!
Sony's WH-1000xm4 headphones are among the best noise-canceling sets you can get, and they're cheaper than ever for Prime Day. The WH-1000xm4 headphones are currently just $228 at Amazon, which is $120 cheaper than their usual price.
These headphones come with the best noise canceling in the game, up to 30 hours of battery life, and a touch sensor to control pause, play, skip, volume, and voice assistant functions. They'll even automatically lower volume when you start talking, pause playback automatically when they're removed, and can get 5 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge.
You can't do much better than these headphones for the price, and they'll be shooting back up to $348 in just a few hours as Prime Day comes to a close.
One of Xbox's best games, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, is just $35!
Still on the lookout for some solid Xbox games during Prime Day? Look no further. Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a cool $35, but it's about to go back up as Prime Day ends in a few hours.
If you enjoy some parkour action while fighting off hordes of zombies, then this is a good pickup. The game was praised by critics at launch, and it looks phenomenal on Xbox Series X. It's also not a part of Game Pass, so this is the cheapest way to get in and play if you're an Xbox gamer.
If you're down for more Xbox games while they're cheap, check out our list of the best discounted Xbox Prime Day deals that you can't play on Game Pass.
The best TV for your Xbox is still on an incredible sale for $797!
The LG OLED C1 is not only an incredible TV, but it's arguably the best you can get for your Xbox Series X and PS5. For Prime Day, you can pick up the 48-inch LG OLED C1 for a ridiculous $797. But it's only going to be that cheap for a few more hours!
As the name implies, the LG OLED C1 features a fantastically impressive OLED display. That means you'll get inky black and super-vivid colors with infinite contrast. More importantly for console gamers, it supports 120Hz at 4K, variable refresh rate, and Dolby Vision HDR. It's the full package and is the perfect size for a game room.
Don't miss out on this excellent back-to-school laptop for $380.
The HP Laptop 15z may not be the most powerful laptop around, but it's an excellent pickup for the kid in your life as they head back to school. Coinciding with Prime Day, HP has dropped the price of the HP Laptop 15z to $380. That's $170 off of its usual $550 price.
Don't let the price fool you, though. For the money, you'll pick up an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU with six cores, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD for storage. The only thing you may want to tweak with this is the storage, but that's an easy fix with an external hard drive.
This model comes with a 15-inch 1366x768 display, but you can upgrade that to a 1080p panel for just $10 more. That's definitely worth doing for the price. There are also plenty of ports with USB-C, two USB-A, an HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Echo Dot makes a great Xbox voice command companion for $20.
Amazon always has a great fire sale on its own devices during Prime Day, which makes it an excellent time to pick one up. The Echo Dot also makes a great little Xbox companion, especially at a discounted $20.
It's one of the unsung features of the Echo, but you can set it up to control your Xbox with voice commands. These commands range from simple things like asking Alexa to turn up the Xbox's volume or pause a movie, to more complex requests like launching a game or downloading a game from Xbox Game Pass. It's pretty neat!
This ASUS motherboard is pretty sweet (and cheap) way to start on an Intel 12th Gen build for $144.
Building a PC with an Intel 12th Gen CPU? This discount on the ASUS Prime B660M-A motherboard is a solid pickup if you want to save some cash. It's a modest $16 off of its usual $160 price, but it's a solid pick if you're looking to save where you can!
For the money, you'll get a mATX motherboard with PCIE 4.0 and built-in Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. There are also two M.2 slots, along with rear ports for USB Type-C, Ethernet, and USB 3.2. There's also support for ASUS' Aura Sync lighting.
This Razer Kraken headset for Xbox and PC is $38 for a few more hours!
What's the first thing you think of when you hear Razer? Probably their headsets -- and that's because they make some pretty great ones. If you're in need of a new one for your Xbox, the Razer Kraken is down to $38 from its usual $80 price for Prime Day.
The Kraken is a pretty dang comfortable headset for long gaming sessions. It's got a great aluminum build, a retractable microphone, and 7.1 surround sound audio. There are also in-line audio controls for quick volume changes and muting.
Prime Day is about to wrap up, so if you still want to pull the trigger on a new headset, the Kraken is a solid, affordable one to snag.
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 | $70 at Amazon $100
Just minutes to go and there are still a few great deals you can snag at the last minute here for Amazon Prime Day.
This Turtle Beach Stealth 600-Gen 2 headset hits its lowest price ever at $70, making it arguably the cheapest way to get a wireless Xbox headset right now. The Stealth 600 Gen-2 is a direct-to-Xbox wireless headset meaning it connects straight to your console without any extra USB dongles or cables, and sports side-tone mic monitoring on its solid flip-to-mute microphone.
The headset has a robust and comfortable design, and sports solid sound for its price point, emphasizing tactical gameplay. Turtle Beach headsets have literally gotten me kills in games like Call of Duty thanks to the spatial awareness they inject, making me eager to recommend this one for those who want a wireless headset without breaking the bank.
And that's a wrap!
With Amazon Prime Day ending for another year, we just wanted to say thank you for choosing us to help aggregate this year's best tech deals. Prime Day is a major reason we're able to keep delivering free content at the consistency, quality, and frequency that we do, and helping you find the best (actually good) tech deals is a major motivator for the team.
Prime Day has officially wrapped up right now, but many of the deals we see here might still be available for a little while longer if you shop around. We'll most likely be back later in the year for more live blog style coverage for Black Friday 2022 going into Christmas, where the deals may be even better.
For now, on behalf of Windows Central, adios!

The Xbox Series S is also still a little cheaper than usual, moving from $300 down to $290. That's not a huge drop, but it's still worth considering this early into the latest generation of consoles.
One of the best deals on a laptop for back-to-school season is still on at Dell. You can pick up the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 for just $392, which is down from its normal $600 price. It's not the most powerful laptop in the world, but it's a fantastic option for the student in your life, whether that's you or your kiddo.
You also don't want to miss out on the best TV for your Xbox Series X or PS5: The LG OLED C1. The 48-inch set is still available for just under $800, which is bananas for an OLED TV with 120Hz and VRR.
