If you’re a Prime member — or have a friend or family member who takes the hit for everyone else’s benefit — it’s time to grab a deal. Several of our most highly recommended products are now on sale for Prime Day and while most of these deals are exclusively for Prime members, there are always a few that anyone with an Amazon account can get.
There are the usual suspects, of course: Roku TV sticks, AirTags and pretty much anything Amazon makes all have some heavy discounts. We’ve highlighted the most notable discounts, but there are also significant savings on favorites, such as the Dyson V15 Detect stick vacuum (which I love), a random Lego Star Wars advent calendar — a term that didn't exist 10 years ago — and Apple’s AirPods 4.
Based on previous Prime Days, more deals are likely to be announced during the morning, so keep your eyes on our main hub right here.
Something that’s tempting me? A $159 DJI drone.

Why do AI data centers use so many resources?
The AI boom introduced several kinds of wastefulness.
AI data centers are causing massive strains on local resources, driving up water shortages and power demands. Why is that? The reliance on powerful, energy-hungry GPUs (graphics processing units) generates significantly more heat than traditional CPUs. It’s less the processing and more the cooling that requires intensive water-guzzling evaporative systems. This has led to US data centers using more than double the amount of energy since 2018, with AI water consumption projected to hit 124 billion liters by 2028. There are some solutions, but the AI industry’s energy demands continue to grow. Daniel Cooper examines what can be done.
Nissan Leaf 2026 review
Still the budget EV to beat.
The third-gen Leaf is a pretty great upgrade, with the bigger miracle being how it’s stuck to the same $30,000 starting price as its predecessors. In his test drive, Devindra Hardawar loved the expansive infotainment screens as well as the solid driving performance and long range. It also has a more futuristic redesign.
Don’t buy an Echo Show (you can have mine)
A billboard in your kitchen!
Not everything from Amazon’s new hardware showcase or current sale bonanza is worth the investment. Take the Echo Show (the old one, not the two new devices teased last week). Amy Skorheim explains how her Show is now interrupting photo carousels with jarring advertising with increasing frequency. And there’s no way to turn it off.
