Tech Can Be Your Priciest Purchase, So Get These Electronics On Sale For Prime Day

Prior to July's Prime Day, this well-rated Kindle e-reader hadn't been marked down since the holiday season of LAST YEAR, so you'll wanna move on this quickly.

With a high-resolution, glare-free and paper-like display plus an adjustable built-in light and a dark mode — this e-reader can be used day and night. Its 16 GB of storage is enough to store thousands of books (and .pdfs and documents), and with an added Kindle Unlimited subscription (free for the first three months if you make the selection), you can just pull those ebooks from the cloud.

I own a different model (the Kindle Paperwhite) that transformed my reading experience: It's the reason I was able to more than double the annual amount of books I read, from 12 in 2022 to 28 in 2023. My Kindle has essentially paid for itself, too, since I use the Libby app to check out digital copies of library books to read on my Kindle for free — no more time or money spent agonizing over bookstore prices, and I can have my next read in my hands within minutes of adding it to my TBR list.

This small device is perfect for commuters, travelers who can’t pack a ton of books or anyone looking to declutter their libraries.

Why you need it: With the extra-rare sale and generally high price, we think this is worth the buy while it's at a discount. Plus, the fact that you can save money on books down the line? It's a no-brainer. This could also be a great buy for when gifting season comes around.

This popular Hatch alarm clock has a selection of lights and sounds to help you wake up more gradually and to wind down before bed.

"Totally worth the investment if you want better sleep and smoother mornings," one reviewer said.

If you’re looking for a new screen to supplement your smartphone or laptop, good news: The latest iPad Mini is over $100 off right now. And per the reviews, this baby’s features are worth it — from the AI upgrades to a jaw-dropping processor that make this the fastest iPad to date. “For this price, you can’t beat the power this thing has for the sheer size it comes in,” as one reviewer notes.

It’s a major upgrade from previous-gen iPad Minis and other larger iPads (price comparisons above) — all thanks to an A17 Pro chip. This adds the latest Apple Intelligence (AI) features to the operating system so it’ll perform tasks by studying your personalized data.

With the iPad’s AI power, you can effortlessly do things like reply to emails and messages, take notes, summarize texts and proofread before hitting send. You can also sift through photos, give your iPad a command prompt to clean up an image, and it’ll delete any distracting objects (or people) from your photo as if they were never there.

CNET recommends the Google Pixel Tablet as a great option, especially for families. The 11-inch tablet features Google AI, as well as Google apps like Gmail, Docs, Photos and more.

Promising review: "The Apple MagSafe Charger has been a fantastic addition to my tech setup! It delivers fast and reliable wireless charging for my iPhone, and I love how it just snaps into place perfectly every time. It’s super convenient and charges my phone quickly, which is exactly what I was looking for.
One thing to note is that you’ll need to buy a USB-C plug separately, as it doesn’t come with one. But once you have that, it’s smooth sailing. The charger works great, and the build quality is what you’d expect from Apple—top-notch.
If you’re looking for a hassle-free, fast wireless charger, the MagSafe Charger is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!" — Jan Eric Welch

"My hyperfixation with the temperature in my baby's room has consumed me since the day we brought him home from the hospital — and now that he's in his own room, I find myself popping in at various times in the night to check the temperature. The madness needs to end," said shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe. "I have a Dyson air purifier and can attest to the brand's reliability, and even though it's definitely a pricey purchase, it's time to buy my little boy a high-quality fan for his own space."

This futuristic-looking home appliance pulls double duty, working as an oscillating tower fan and space heater in one. It’s another highly-rated year-round Dyson product beloved by reviewers. It uses ceramic plates that heat up quickly to warm you when it's cold out and amplified airflow to cool you down when it's hot out. It has a temperature range of 32°F to 98.6°F. It even features a sleep timer, allowing you to program it to turn off after a preset interval, and a handy magnetized remote control that stores neatly on top of the machine.

Depending on which colorway you choose, these chic (and trending) Bose earbuds are on sale at various price points. The ones pictured here are the most steeply discounted, at 33% off. They feature a unique "open ear" silhouette that differentiates them from traditional earbuds. This style is ideal for anyone who dislikes the feeling of having them in the actual ear canal.

Uribe's mother, who owns a pair of these, said, "I am someone who was very late to the earbud game because I hate the feeling of earbuds stuck inside my ears. But I love how these give me the ability to listen clearly to audiobooks or music and still be able to hear my surroundings. They're extremely comfortable, easy to set up and the charge lasts a very long time." There you have it, folks!

This extension cord and surge protector has a cord starting at 6 feet and five outlets, along with a USB-A port and two USB-C ports, negating the need for a bulky charging block for an iPhone and other devices. Another standout feature is the flat plug that's less than half an inch thick to save space, along with its 45-degree angle design so it doesn't block the bottom wall outlet. You can charge multiple devices at once and, thanks to the outlets with over 1.5 inches of space, you don't have to worry as much about thick plugs blocking multiple outlets.

Stuck with an old headphone jack on the plane seatback, treadmill screen or anywhere else you'd like to use your wireless headphones? The AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe can fix that problem by turning the headphone jack into a Bluetooth 5.3 receiver or transmitter when you plug it in. The battery life can reach over 25 hours, according to the brand, and you'll be able to watch in-flight movies with your preferred headphones, no problem. I predict this to be a big hit among frequent travelers.

With 32 hours of battery life, active noise-canceling and smart ambient features, water and sweat resistance and pounding bass, we're actually wondering how these JBL earbuds are so heavily discounted. A reviewer deems these the “perfect earphones for anyone,” and you can score a set yourself at a whopping 60% off. Nab a pair in one of three colors.
