Amazon’s Prime Day is on, and it’s happening for the next four days. Prime members can jump into the deals now until the sale officially ends at 3:01AM ET / 12:01AM PT June 27th. Many discounts will remain the same throughout the duration.
We’ve been covering Prime Day in-depth since the shopping event debuted over a decade ago. Each year, the quantity of deals has grown, making it tougher to spot the quality ones. But we know what we like, and we have a pretty good sense of what Verge readers might like, too. Our writers flagged dozens of deals that got their attention across various categories, including new products and some slightly older favorites, and we think you might want to see them.
If you’re got a Prime subscription (via a free trial, or a discounted student membership), then scroll through to see the best that day one of Prime Day has to offer.
Laptop deals
- The days of multi-hundred-dollar discounts on MacBooks are behind us for now, but the base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip for $1,549 ($150 off) at Amazon and Best Buy is still a solid deal. It’s powerful enough for the average content creator, comes with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and has lots of ports. Read our review.
$949
Apple’s 2026 MacBook Air has an M5 chip and starts with 512GB of storage that’s significantly faster than previous generations. It’s still as excellent as ever despite a higher base price. Read our review.
$1450
Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. There’s a new Intel model that’s much pricier, but the 2025 version with AMD chips is still a great choice.
E-reader deals
- The tiny, charming 4.3-inch Xteink X4 e-reader that can magnetically snap onto surfaces, even to the back of MagSafe-ready phones, is down to $55.20 at Amazon (originally $69). Read our review.
$125
Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite — aka our favorite ebook reader — is waterproof, has a seven-inch display, and lasts weeks per charge. Read our review.
- Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (its moniker for the 32GB version that supports wireless charging and has an auto-adjusting front light) is down to its best-ever price when purchased as a bundle. The “Essentials Bundle” that includes the e-reader, a leather cover, and a wireless charging dock is $257.97 at Amazon. Its normal price was previously around $354. The 16GB version that lacks the Signature features but includes the leather cover is $182.97 at Amazon. Read our review.
- The other color e-reader that Amazon sells, the Scribe Colorsoft, is available in a bundle that’s steeply discounted. The 32GB model that includes a pen, leather folio, and a power adapter is $549.97 at Amazon, down from its usual sale price of $729.97. It’s a fantastic deal considering just the tablet and pen typically sell for $629.99 and hasn’t previously been discounted. Read our review.
$82
Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle retains a six-inch, 300ppi display and USB-C charger. It’s brighter and slightly faster than its predecessor, though, and features longer battery life.
$378
Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5. Read our initial impressions.
- Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are selling for $198 at Amazon, which is the retailer’s best price yet. The set debuted for $399.99 and only really started dropping in price when its successor was released. While the XM6 gets the edge in terms of sound quality, comfort, and for having a foldable design, the XM5 are still fantastic — arguably the best over-ear headphones you can get at this price.
$399
We haven’t previously seen this set of over-ear headphones sell below $479, so this price drop is staggering.
