Best laptop deals
Apple MacBook Pro, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD
As the mac daddy of Apple laptops (pun absolutely intended), this MacBook Pro has just been put on a rare and brilliant Prime Day deal. As Apple themselves rarely cut prices, you can assume Amazon are taking the hit on this powerful 13-inch laptop to highlight their final day of sales. Inside, this laptop boasts a dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, crisp Retina display, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, and an ultra-fast SSD.
ASUS C101PA-FS002 10.1 Inch Touchscreen Chromebook Flip
These are the kind of deals Prime Day is made for. This ASUS Chromebook Flip C101PA is not only one of the world's lightest and most powerful 10-inch Chromebooks but its 360-degree hinged screen means you can create, communicate and chill precisely as you like. Additionally, the tablet gives you access to millions of Google Play Store apps and its USB ports support charging, video output and lightning-fast data transfers (up to 5Gbps) on the go.
Huawei MateBook D 15.6" Laptop, 1080P FHD Ultrabook
This Ultrabook really is Ultra. For shoppers who want something that looks as good as it performs, the laptop's all metal uni-body shell gives the little PC powerhouse a truly luxurious finish. Then, on the inside, the laptop boasts a powerful 8th Generation Intel Core i3 Processor, Dolby Atmos Sound System (for cinematic sound on the fly), and a 43.3Wh battery for up to 8.5 hours of local video playback. All at its lowest-ever price.
HP OMEN 15-dc0029na 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop
As any gamer will know, a laptop's graphics card is one of the most important factors of a gaming laptop. Thankfully, this HP laptop's NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is the bees knees. The rest of the laptop is pretty well kitted out, as well; Intel Core i7 8th gen processor, an enhanced thermal solution that can take on the most intense of all-night gaming sessions, a backlit rollover keyboard (designed for intuitive reflex play), a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a custom-turned sound system by the audio experts at Bang & Olufsen. Well worth the (very kindly discounted) investment.
Best Alexa and Amazon device deals
Amazon Echo (2nd Gen) Smart Speaker with Alexa
If you already had an Alexa-enabled smart speaker, you might be included to ask it what the best Prime Day deals of 2019 might be. If you don't, however, your cheapest chance is finally here. This second-gen Amazon Echo lets you play music, make calls, set alarms, ask questions, check your calendar, weather, traffic, sports scores, and much more by simply giving your virtual cloud assistant ("Alexa...") a command. As more and more smart home devices are being created with Alexa compatibility, these smart speakers are becoming increasingly future-friendly pieces of tech.
Kindle Paperwhite
This all-new Kindle Paperwhite is a traveler's dream. Rather than hauling ten books around on your summer holidays, you can load hundreds into your Kindle and read them on its glare-free and waterproof display everywhere from the beach to the inflatable unicorn float. Its battery also lasts for weeks, rather than hours, meaning it will serve you just as well through on post-holiday commute if you forget to re-charge for a while. With £40 off, this Paperwhite is almost as cheap as a normal Kindle (which has had £20 knocked off its own price), as well. But the extra tenner is worth the free 4G LTE and doubled storage.
Echo Show 5
Smart homes are what everybody is talking about at the moment. Where you can control everything from your boiler and lights, to your coffee machine and fridge, just by speaking out loud. The Echo Show 5 is the latest of smart home hubs which you can use to pair with other wireless devices to take control of your home. Assisted by a 5.5” display, it allows you to access everything from recipes, the weather forecast or traffic, as well as answer phone calls and listen to your favourite music and podcasts. For those who have seen too much Black Mirror, there’s also a function to disable the camera and microphone to make sure your private life stays private.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet
This brilliant little tablet is the first of its kind to offer up hands-free Alexa integration. Even when the screen is turned off. As the most feature-packed tablet, it is also a pretty fantastic aide to all manner of personal and professional tasks. You can use it as a Kindle, access Netflix in a single click (and stream on its Full HD display for up to 10 hours), smart speaker, virtual assistant, and mini laptop - it comes with 32 or 64 GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for up to 256 GB of expandable storage. Both the front- and rear-facing cameras won't compare to that of most modern smartphones, but they're there if you need them. Available in black, blue and red.
Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet
Though the Fire 7 is the least feature-packed of Amazon's three kids tablets (compared to the HD 8 and HD 10), it is more than enough tablet for young children. The 7-inch tablet has a virtually indestructible case (designed for inevitable drops and knocks) protected by a a two year replacement guarantee and all-access parental controls which make it truly worry-free for your little ones. The tablet also includes a one-year subscription to Fire for Kids Unlimited (which gives yous access to thousands of kid-friendly apps, games, videos, books and Audible audiobooks, including content from Disney, Nickelodeon and Sesame Street).
Best phone deals
Apple iPhone XR
Is Prime Day ever really a Prime Day without a great iPhone deal? We think not and, this year, Apple's iPhone XR is the one to basket. The phone's all-new 6.1 Liquid Retina display is the most advanced LCD in the industry and, thanks to innovative backlight design, it's virtually all screen. Virtually — apart from a lot of fantastic tech; its Intelligent A12 Bionic chop (powering everything from augmented reality to beautiful portraits), its intuitive 12 MP camera (including an f/1.8 wide-angle lens), and face recognition security. Plus wireless charging.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
There is a lot to love about Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 and, with an enormous £400 off for Prime Day, it might just be time to make it your own. The phone is has a powerful battery that can last all day, 128GB built-in storage (expandable up to 512GB more through microSDs), a cutting-edge processor (essential for streaming video and gaming), and more. Though its 'S Pen' may seem like a gimmick, it actually utilises Bluetooth technology to make your day to day easier; you can take photos, do presentations, scribble notes and control apps without having to touch your phone.
Best tech deals

Reduced by a huge £1000, it provides a quality camera from a trusted band which doesn’t break the bank.

Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger
It’s summer. That means it’s festival and holiday season where often you can be hours from being able to fully charge your phone.

Best gaming deals
Nintendo Switch with £30 Nintendo E-shop Credit and New Super Mario Bros
Say hello to the best Nintendo Switch deal of Prime Day. While Amazon have packaged up quite a few bundles for Switch-curious shoppers, this curation offers the most.

The bundle also includes a DUALSHOCK4 wireless controller.

For under £170 you get the console, two controllers and four games including FIFA 19 and Minecraft. This is a digital-only console, meaning that you can only download your games rather than using disks. But, in this day and age, is that really such an issue? If there’s no disk to lose or damage, then there’s no drama.

Best miscellaneous Prime Day deals
Oral-B SmartSeries 6500 CrossAction Electric Toothbrush
If you have yet to cross over into the wonderful world of electronic toothbrushes, this is your chance. The Oral-B SmartSeries 6000 is currently on Prime Day sale at a, frankly, ridiculous price and comes with every feature you could think of. The 'intelligent' toothbrush connects to your phone via Bluetooth to guide you through the best brush possible as the oscillating brush head does all the rotating and pulsating work. In doing so, the toothbrush actually remove up to 100 percent more plaque than a manual toothbrush and modes like 'sensitive' and 'whitening' help you get the exact experience you want at each brush.
De'Longhi Eletta Cappuccino ECAM 45.760.W Coffee Machine
Coffee can be a hassle, and good coffee can be even more of a hassle. Leaving the comfort of your house to pick up a macchiato, flat white or mistretto is a chore nobody wants.

This premium piece of kit from De’Longhi is reduced by an incredible £600, meaning great coffee doesn’t have to break the bank.

For ultimate ease and comfort, the heating system is adjustable (ideal for seasonal shifts) and hard water is treated using built-in mechanisms. One year guarantee included.
Vera Wang Signature Eau de Parfum
One of the many fruits of Prime Day browsing labour is coming across deals like this. By taking over £50 off the price of a designer fragrance, Amazon not only give you the chance to treat yourself to something special but leave you enough money to buy a second one. Perhaps even two of Vera Wang's eponymous perfume. For those who love sensual, floral fragrances (think Bulgarian rose, calla lily and white woods), you couldn't hope for more.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Whether you prefer gin, wine or whisky, Amazon is sure to have your tipple of choice covered this Prime Day. For those who love the latter in particular, you'd be sore to miss out on this discounted bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask. The supremely smoky whisky has won countless awards for its delectable balance of peat and sweet, making it a perfect bottle to stock up on for future dinner party gifts and fireside drams alike.
Panasonic SD-2501WXC Automatic Breadmaker
There's nothing quite like waking up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning. Unfortunately, unless you live next to a bakery, this has long been a pipe dream unless you're happy to get up at 3am to put a loaf in the oven. However with the revolution in affordable automatic breadmakers, this dream is now a doughy reality. Saving just under an impressive £60 you can get Panasonic's highly-rated offering. Boasting 27 bake and dough modes in addition to a raisin and nut mixer, it also cooks gluten free bread. On top of this you can even adjust the size and darkness of your loaf, meaning every batch will be just how you imagined.
Grey Goose French Vodka, 70 cl
Fancy vodka for a not-so-fancy price. Though we usually think of Russia as the home of vodka, Grey Goose has always been known to be on the pricey side of the clear spirit. Filtered over great champagne limestone, Grey Goose is made from the same wheat which is used to make the world-renowned pastries. Kick back this summer with a cold glass of this on the rocks, for significantly less.
Andrex Gentle Clean Toilet Tissue
If there's one thing we can rely on Prime Day for, it's a blockbuster loo roll deal (and this year, it's a clean sweep). Toilet humour aside, this is one of Amazon's biggest deals of the day. At a massive 70% off, each roll is reduced to just 16p each. You might as well throw a bundle or two in your basket.
