If you have limited space on your desk, then I’ve got good news for you: A mini PC might be the answer. This diminutive Apple Mac Mini can fit under your monitor and it offers a lot of power under the hood thanks to the M2 chipset. We reviewed the Mac Mini M1 as well as the Mac Mini M2 Pro and found both to be outstanding due to their peppy performance and sleek design, so chances are this model is also a crowd-pleaser.

Earbud Deals

The Beats Studio Buds + offer some of the best noise cancellation you can get for under $200, and at their sale price, they’re well worth a look.

Headphone Deals

In our review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, our expert notes that “the earcups catch the light in interesting ways with their matte surfaces and sharp edges, and look even better in person than in photos.” Along with their top-of-the-line noise cancellation and overall audio quality, they earned an “Outstanding” as well as an Editors’ Choice award for audiophiles.

Smartwatch Deals

We gave the Apple Watch SE high marks in our review for balancing performance with price. It’s accurately marketed as a “budget-friendly” model in the Apple Watch line-up, but it still boasts many of the same useful features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and access to virtually the same apps. Essentially, if the lack of always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, like body temperature and ECG, aren’t a deal breaker, then this is the best option for you.

Streaming Device Deals

The second-generation Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K added Wi-Fi 6 to one of the best media streaming devices. That upgrade, plus all the apps and features, make it our Editors’ Choice for media streamers. Simply plug this into your TV via its HDMI port and you’ll get quick access to the same Amazon Fire TV interface found on the company’s brand of smart TVs.

Gaming Deals

Have you already played through MK1 and thirst for more high octane 1-v-1 action? Tekken 8 came out earlier this year and you can already jump into the ring for less this Prime Day. New characters, more environmental damage, and flashier graphics make this title an easy recommendation to long-time fans who want to watch Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama continue their father-son rivalry.

SSD and HDD Deals

The Samsung T9 is not only a Prime Day deal, but it’s a great external SSD at any price thanks to 10Gbps speeds with the USB-C ports on most laptops and desktops, a 4TB capacity, and 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption . If you’re fortunate enough to have a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, you could see up to double that speed. This solid state drive is built durably and is drop resistant so you can take it on the go without worry.

The Eero Pro 6E mesh system “earned an Editors’ Choice award for its speedy throughput performance, its ease of use, and its ability to control home automation devices.” The user-friendly mobile app makes setup and management a breeze, whether you’re setting up this single router or purchasing the router-satellite combo. For those looking to make the most of their speed while catering to multiple devices, the Eero Pro 6E supports Wi-Fi 6E and also operates on three bands, meaning it has an additional 5GHz band so that your Wi-Fi-connected devices don’t have to squabble over bandwidth.

Printer & Scanner Deals

According to our review of the Brother DS-640, this compact printer scans quickly and accurately, but it lacks single-pass duplex scanning, making it better suited for casual use by thrifty shoppers. Small, light, and easy to use, this diminutive scanner can be taken on the go, to wherever you conduct business.

With a large, open print area (8.66in by 8.66in by 9.84in) and a heated bed that reaches over 200 degrees in just five minutes, the Creality Ender 3 is capable of printing 3D models quickly without sacrificing quality. The large, twistable nuts on the side enable you to easily level the platform and keep the printing process running smoothly, but these manual adjustments may not be for everyone—especially beginners.

Deals Under $50

What is your peace of mind worth? Finding lost objects and even pets has never been easier (at least for Apple users) thanks to the Apple AirTag. In testing, our expert found them to be accurate and reliable, even at a distance, giving directional cues to help you find what’s important to you. Just bear in mind that, unlike other similar trackers like the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2, the AirTag lacks a lanyard hole so you’ll need to purchase a holder or compatible collar. 

There’s also an Airtag  4-pack available at 10% off, which will save you around $12 if you need a number of  AirTags.
