Amazon Prime Day (or, rather, Amazon Prime season) is now upon us. With the best early Prime Day tech deals, you can score a new Apple laptop, QLED TV, noise-cancellation earbuds like the Airpods Pro, smart home essentials, chargers galore, and all kinds of other early deals at prices that won’t make you cringe. All to say, mark your calendar because Amazon Prime Day deals are officially slated to hit in the wee hours of July 16 and 17—or don't because loads of gadgets from GQ-favorite brands like Bose and Ring are already on sale.

The best tech deals join a slate of other early Prime Day deals on menswear, luggage, and the like. Typically, you’ll see previous generations of popular tech go on sale during Prime Day, but in 2024, we’ve already found fresh price drops just-released devices like the M4 iPad Pro, the newest MacBook, and Samsung’s latest The Frame TV. And so, from Alexa-enabled Amazon devices to premium Ninja blenders, here are the best Prime day deals to read up on now and bookmark for when Prime big deal days hit.

The Best Early Prime Day Tech Deals, at a Glance:

While we wait for the official Prime Day deals to drop in July, think of this as your Prime Day beta:

What Tech Deals To Expect From Prime Day 2024

All you need to access some of the lowest prices of the year are an Amazon Prime membership and some know-how. This year, the annual sale event kicks off on July 16 and ends July 17 at midnight PST. (You’ll also be able to shop competing sales at other mega-retailers like Best Buy and Walmart.) It's important to note that just because something goes on sale, doesn't really make it a deal that's worth your time. That's where we come in.

We've done the legwork to find tons of early tech deals you can start shopping right now, including some record-low prices on new Apple products and we expect more deals to land soon. In particular, the latest flagship headphones from Sony and Bose (the XM5s and QuietComfort Ultras, respectively) are stubbornly stuck at full price as of this writing. Likewise, a lot of Amazon devices haven't yet budged but should see big price drops in a few weeks—particularly Fire tablets, Fire TV sticks, Echo speakers, and Kindle e-readers. Lastly, keep a close eye on Amazon’s brand of TVs and any budget smart TVs running the Fire TV OS.

If you haven't yet shelled out the $14.99 per month for an Amazon Prime membership, now's the time—as you get a 30-day free trial and can cancel once your Prime Day buys land on your doorstep. Keep checking back on this roundup,use the word "sexy" too often, but it's as we add more of the best Amazon Prime Day tech deals and get ready to save.
