You really can't go wrong if you're shopping during Amazon's Prime Day sales event. With so many deals, there's bound to be something that you're looking for at a great price. With that said, if you're looking to upgrade the storage on your laptop or PC, there are plenty of great SSD deals to be had, but what if you're looking for an SSD for your Steam Deck or similar PC gaming handheld?

The Pixel 7a came out in 2023, and shook things up by bringing flagship silicon and camera prowess to the mid-range Pixel. It's still one of the best value phones you can get, and it looks gorgeous with a design almost identical to the flagship Pixel 7. The hardware is great, the software gets better every update, and additions like wireless charging for the first time on an A-series Pixel is great. Now, for Prime Day, it's at its lowest price ever, and it's almost a steal at this price.

Yes, folks, I am happy to report that the briefcase TV is on sale. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Conventional wisdom says that if you want the very lowest prices on a 4K TV, you wait until Black Friday / Cyber Monday in November, but Amazon’s Prime Day can offer some solid discounts during the dog days of summer. And what you plug into your TV is just as important, especially since many modern TVs have terrible built-in audio that sounds tinny or leaves spoken dialogue difficult to hear and app interfaces that are slow and annoying to use. Thankfully, some of these shortcomings can be countered by a decent soundbar or a streaming device from the likes of Amazon, Roku, and others.If you’re in the market right now for a big and flashy new TV, something modestly sized for a kitchen or bedroom, or some accessories that allow you to...

Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Everyone loves cheap stuff that’s actually good to use or invaluably helpful in your day to day. While Amazon Prime Day offers a deluge of deals on no-name tchotchkes and knockoffs (many of which have inflated, bot-fueled review scores), it does have its fair share of inexpensive hidden gems that are actually worth your money.We know not everyone is shopping for big multihundred- or thousand-dollar tech every time a deal comes around, so we’re always on the lookout for sales that fit into more modest budgets like sub-$100 and sub-$50. Here, we’re rounding up our top picks for Prime Day that are just 25 bucks or less. Some of them may be ho-hum essentials like a USB-C charging cable, but you may be surprised what kind of tech you can... Continue reading…

It's easy to get lost in the sea of Windows updates. With Windows 11 and 10 getting separate patches, and each operating system having different patches in different stages of testing, it can get really easy to get confused as to what's getting what features. Now, Microsoft has introduced another kind of Windows update, called "Windows 11 checkpoint cumulative updates," because things weren't tangled up enough as it is.

Shopping events like Prime Day are great times to find deals on larger electronic purchases, such as laptops or TVs. It's often when manufacturers heavily slash prices on last year's tech and that means you can find a real bargain. With only incremental changes in laptops year-on-year, the LG Gram 14 (2023) is still a great productivity machine while on the go. Usually priced at $1,700, this slim and sleek ultraportable is down to a more affordable $1,200. That's almost a third of one of the nicest-looking laptops you can get, and it won't stay at this price for long.

Prime Day is in full swing, which means we're getting deeply discounted deals on our favorite tech, such as laptops, CPUs, TVs, PC accessories, and more. Fans of PC gaming handhelds are in luck, with the MSI Claw slashing prices down to the lowest level ever. With powerful Intel Ultra processors, Thunderbolt 4, and Hall effect thumbsticks, the MSI Claw is an excellent Windows handheld console.

Amazon’s throwing in free smart bulbs with some Echo devices, including the latest Echo Show 8. | Image: Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Amazon Prime Day 2024 has officially arrived. We’ve already published a detailed guide to the best Prime Day deals, but if you’re just interested in Amazon devices, this is where you’ll find the ones that are actually worthwhile. From Alexa-based Echo smart speakers to video doorbells, Amazon is discounting a wide range of gadgets, some of which are currently seeing their lowest prices to date. Of course, the main caveat here is you’ll have to be an active Amazon Prime member to take advantage of any and all Prime Day deals. Luckily, Amazon makes it pretty easy to sign up, especially since new members can take advantage of the exclusive discounts with a free 30-day trial.The best streaming device and TV dealsIf you’re looking for...

Prime Day is finally here and, as you might expect, there are tons of great deals on some of our favorite smartphones, SSDs, laptops, and so much more. Of course, there's too much to realistically list it all, but one that really stood out is this 1.5TB microSD card that's now just $84.

It's Prime Day, and Samsung fans have extra reasons to be thankful for the deep discounts on offer. That includes this deal, which trims the Galaxy Tab A9+ down to an astonishingly low $143the lowest price it's ever been. With a powerful Snapdragon chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, this is a multimedia-watching powerhouse. And with a microSD card slot that supports up to 1TB of removable storage, it's got what you need to load up on videos for the family while traveling. At this price, it might not last for long, so if you've been looking for an affordable, large tablet, this is the time to do so.

Arm is often lauded for its efficiency; after all, there's a reason it's become the most pervasive architecture keeping portable devices going for longer. It's been in our smartphones for well over a decade (sans a brief x86 stint that very few phones took part in), and laptops are starting to make the transition thanks to the extended battery life that those machines can get.
