Amazon Prime Day live: The discounts that are actually worth your money

From MacBooks and Windows machines to Chromebooks, our resident laptop reviewer Steve is rounding up all the best Prime Day laptop deals in one place. Whether you’re after a budget buy or something more high-spec, his guide covers it all.

I had to do a double-take when I saw this one. A full-spec laptop with 16GB of RAM for under £300? Yes please.

The MSI Modern 15 runs on a Ryzen 5 chip, with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which are great specs for everyday use, work calls and streaming. It’s rare to see a machine this capable drop below £300, so if you’re after an all-rounder on a budget, this one’s worth a look.

If your laptop’s been wheezing through tabs and clinging to its charger, it might be time for an upgrade. Prime Day has brought savings on some of the newest models, including Apple’s latest MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Air (13in, M4): Was £999, now £849, Amazon.co.uk

This is the first big discount I’ve seen on the brand-new M4 MacBook Air. It’s thinner, faster and more efficient than ever, powered by Apple’s most advanced chip to date.

In his review, tech critic David Phelan called it “preposterously slim, sharply designed and appealingly light”. With £150 off, this is the lowest price yet, and a rare chance to save on the newest model.

Now going for less than half price, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is a steal if you’re after a dependable everyday laptop, and it’s the one I recommend most people (who aren’t hardcore gamers) get.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3: Was £499.99, now £239.99, Amazon.co.uk

With an Intel Core i3 chip and 8GB of RAM, it’s more than capable of handling emails, browsing and streaming, all for under £250. A great-value pick from a brand you can trust.

Still browsing? Tech writer Steve has pulled together even more Prime Day TV deals, covering everything from high-end OLEDs to budget-friendly 4K screens.

Whether you’re after a set from Samsung, LG or Sony, you’ll find all the best picks in his guide below.

This is the 4K TV tech critic David Phelan crowned best budget buy in his guide to the best TVs, and for good reason.

Amazon Fire omni 55in: Was £749.99, now £459.99, Amazon.co.uk

Named the best budget TV in David Phelan’s guide, this 55in Fire TV stands out for its “punchy QLED display, crisp vocals and strong colour range”. The interface is easy to use, and you’re getting premium features at a price that beats most rivals. With nearly £400 off, it’s one of the best-value 4K TVs in the sale.

If you’re after a big-screen upgrade without spending a fortune, this 65in Samsung TV is worth a look.

Samsung Crystal UHD 65in U7000F 4K: Was £549, now £462, Amazon.co.uk

With almost £100 off for Prime Day, it offers 4K upscaling, vibrant colours and object tracking sound that follows the action across the screen. There’s even a built-in gaming hub, so you can stream Xbox titles straight to the TV – no console needed.

TVs are one of the best things you can buy on Prime Day or Black Friday. They’re often reduced to their lowest-ever prices. I’m going to be rounding up some of the best TV deals now.

Tech critic David Phelan called the Sony Bravia 8 “a great OLED TV” in his review, praising its picture quality, performance and overall design. He was especially impressed by the “clever speaker system”, where the screen itself vibrates to produce sound without distorting the image. It’s particularly effective in the ‘cinema’ mode, and with £600 off, this is a very tempting final-day deal.

And that’s not all, I’ve also spotted discounts on the all-new iPhone 16e, AirTags, the Apple Watch Ultra, MacBooks and even the cheaper AirPods 4 with and without acive noise-cancellation.

I’ve rounded up all the best deals in the article below, and it’s being updated with even more savings as they appear today.

And if you’re looking to upgrade your tablet, Amazon’s discounted the latest entry-level iPad to an all-tine low. This is the one I recommend most people buy if they’re just looking to watch Netflix in bed, or do a bit of online shopping.

Apple iPad 11th-generation: Was £329, now £284, Amazon.co.uk

This is the cheapest price yet on Apple’s new entry-level iPad. Launched in March, the 11th-gen model replaces the 10th with a faster A16 Bionic chip, USB-C charging and double the storage, meaning you get 128GB as standard. The screen’s the same bright 10.9in Liquid Retina display, but it’s all much faster. It’s the best-value iPad in the line-up right now, and well worth a look at under £300.
