Amazon is currently celebrating its 20th birthday with a Prime Day sale – which it claims will be bigger than Black Friday – but its rivals don’t want Amazon to have all the fun. Tech site Newegg and retailer Walmart are both hosting their own sales but while Walmart’s runs for 90-days, Newegg is going head to head with Amazon by offering 24-hour discounts on a range of electronic items.
The FantasTECH sale offers big discounts on items ranging from headphones to hard drives and the biggest deals include almost half-price Beats headphones, a gaming laptop for under $1000 and a 2-in-1 tablet for less than half its usual price. Like Newegg, Amazon is also focusing on tech and while its Kindle range is on offer for the whole day – including a Fire TV Stick for just £19.00 – its lightning deals offer limited time discounts on a whole range of products.
Our pick of the Newegg deals includes:
- MSI GS Series GS60 Ghost-444 Gaming Laptop: $999.99 – 44% saving
- Lenovo Miix 2 11-inch 2-in-1 tablet: $399.99 – 52% saving
- ASUS 27-inch 3D-ready monitor: $349.99 – 36% saving
- Seagate 4TB Internal Hard Drive: $124.99 – 38% saving
- JBL J56BT Bluetooth On-Eat Headphones: $39.99 – 76% saving
- Targus CleanVu Cleaning Pads for phones, tablets & monitors: $0.99 – 94% saving

Walmart has also chosen today to launch a sale featuring more than 2,000 price “rollbacks” but unlike both Newegg and Amazon, the sale will last for 90 days. Walmart’s sale is open to all shoppers on its website, which is unsurprising given that the company publicly criticised Amazon’s requirement that you need to be a Prime customer – at a cost of $99 per year – in order to access the Prime Day sale.
Walmart’s sale isn’t only on technology however, with the company also offering discounts on a range of outdoor furniture, toys, tents and household items. Some of its tech deals include discounts on tablets, cell phones, accessories, laptops, peripherals, components and software. There’s also big discounts on clothing, home, sports and garden items including a 3-burner Gas Barbecue for almost half price.
