Amazon has everything from A to Z, as its name and logo imply. The retailer, now one of the largest and most well-known worldwide, is a platform to find vendors touting everything from PCs to smart home products and gaming accessories.
You’ll find the likes of Walmart, Best Buy, and Target competing heavily with Amazon in the US. However, if Amazon — and its generally speedy delivery service — is your first point of contact for your electronics needs, we’ve got you covered.
The best deals are usually during flash sales and events such as Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. But this doesn’t mean you can’t find some great discounts during the rest of the year. Below, you will find our top picks for products including smartwatches, smartphones, laptops, TVs, and kitchen appliances for sale on Amazon right now.
- Current price: $649
- Original price: $749
If you buy the iPad Air in blue or gray, you can save $100 off the typical purchase price. Apple’s iPad range is rarely on sale and so with this discount, we’ve taken note of the deal as one of the best currently available on Amazon.
This 5th-generation iPad Air is equipped with an M1 chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display, 256GB SSD storage, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Alternatively, you can save $50 if you purchase this iPad in Starlight, pink, or purple. Wi-Fi and cellular models, too, are an option, and you can enjoy a $50 discount on the typical $899 RRP.
- Current price: $189

Equipped with Apple’s H2 chip, its second iteration of the popular Pro model packs advanced ANC and transparency mode that perfectly filters surrounding sound and content playback.
Along with the buds themselves, the case also received an upgrade, now allowing users to ping the case using iPhone’s Find My feature. Usually $249, the coveted Apple accessory is now only $189. And in our opinion, they’re worth every penny.
- Current price: $799

More Amazon deals
Amazon has countless products. Finding the best deals takes time and effort — but it’s difficult to spend all our time doing so while we juggle our busy schedules and responsibilities. To streamline the process and to provide you with the best options, we focused on:
- Variety: Tech can encompass everything from smart kitchen appliances to smartphones, and so while compiling this list, we wanted to ensure we provided you with a range of products across different departments.
- Cost: At ZDNET, we provide deals that have true value for money. Discounts can vary depending on the original price of a product, but whether the discount is $30 or $300, the deals we showcase will be worthwhile.
- Use cases: While deciding on our favorite Amazon deals, we wanted to consider different purposes and use cases. For example, we understand you may be looking for a cheap laptop for work or daily use, or you might be hoping for a great deal on a new kitchen appliance.
- Events: When there are noteworthy events, such as Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, we will update these deals to reflect the short-term savings and Lightning deals you can take advantage of.
Amazon is a great place to find pretty much everything from groceries to tech and other consumer goods. A Prime or Prime student membership can further save you money on shipping costs and via exclusive member deals.
