Best Prime Day tech deals
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE: was $449.99 now $313.49

Apple iPad Mini: was $499 now $379.99

Meta Quest 3 128GB: was $499.99 now $429.99
Save $70. A big step up from its already great predecessor, the Meta Quest 3 is an all-in-one VR experience with a whole host of apps. It's also a great PCVR headset if you have a Windows PC beefy enough for it, turning it into an ideal way to play titles like Half-Life: Alyx.
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M2): was $599 now $559
Save $40.The current version of the iPad Air adds the powerful M2 chip and a slither of extra screen real estate and not a lot else, but it remains Apple's best tablet value-wise — especially now it comes with 128GB of storage to start with now.
Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M2): was $899 now $839
Save $60. Looking for more screen space? The M2 iPad Air now comes with a 13-inch version which is much better for movies and multitasking. This version packs double the storage, too, up to 256GB.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M3): was $1,099 now $899
Save $200. The best MacBook Air ever, the M3 version doesn't do much to improve from the excellent M2 version but adds additional cores for AI - making it ideal for futureproofing.
MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro): was $1,999 now $1,699
Save $300. A true powerhouse laptop, the M3 Pro MacBook Pro offers significant performance gains from the last version while keeping the same size and weight. The MacBook Pro is still the only way to get yourself an Apple laptop with an HDMI port, too.
HTC VIVE Pro 2: was $1,399 now $999.99
Save $400. It's hardly one of the newer VR headsets, but the HTC VIVE Pro 2 remains one of the best thanks to its incredible 2.5K display for each eye and excellent audio. This deal includes two controllers, too, so you'll have everything you need right out of the box.
