Amazon Prime Day 2024: We’re hunting for the best early deals

Table of Contents

UPDATE: Jun. 26, 2024, 10:53 a.m. EDT This story has been updated to include the official dates for Prime Day 2024, as well as the best early deals you can shop ahead of the big day.

Deal shoppers, gather round. Amazon Prime Day is officially back for its tenth year.

We’re still a few weeks out from the actual kick-off, but Amazon is already blessing us with impressive price drops and members-only deals. After all, it wouldn’t really be Prime Day if it didn’t last an entire month.

This is where we’ll be updating all the best deals we see during Prime Day 2024, so be sure to bookmark or check this page regularly so you don’t miss anything.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day 2024 will officially run from Tuesday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 17, as per Amazon’s press release. The shopping event typically happens in mid-July, so this year is right on par with years past. (For reference, Prime Day 2022 was held July 12 and 13, while Prime Day 2023 ran from June 11 through 12.)

What to expect for Prime Day 2024

Having covered multiple Amazon sale events for years, we know the ole rigmarole. Anyone who’s shopped a Prime event before already knows the drill: It’s two days of sitewide doorbusters, with Amazon’s own devices and services getting the steepest price drops.

Amazon has confirmed its invite-only deals program will be revived for Prime Day 2024. The idea behind invite-only deals is to give select shoppers a chance to grab extra-exclusive door busters Amazon expects to sell out. Prime members can visit these products’ listings to request an invitation and, if chosen, you’ll receive an email with a unique link to buy the item at some point during the sale. (Amazon doesn’t specify how it picks these lucky eligible shoppers; all we know is that they’re exclusive to Prime members.) Check out Mashable’s invite-only deals guide if you’re interested in participating.

The best early Prime Day 2024 deals

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to the deals. While we still have a couple of weeks until the shopping event kicks off, early deals are already starting to roll in. This comes as little surprise; Amazon likes to boost interest and excitement for the event with a taste of what’s to come.

Not only is now a great time to prep your wishlist and plan your budget to shop smarter during Prime Day 2024, but it’s also a great time to grab early deals. We’ve rounded up the best live deals to shop before the big day, and we’ll be updating the list as we get closer to the official start.

Early Prime Day Apple deals

Why we like it

Read our full review of the M3 MacBook Air (15-inch).

Listen, Apple laptops aren’t cheap — especially if you want something beyond the basics. But you can get the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air for $1,129 — the lowest price to date — ahead of Prime Day. With the 15-inch model (as opposed to its smaller 13-inch companion), you’ll get more screen real estate, a six-speaker sound system, WiFi 6E support, an exceptional keyboard, and the ability to connect two external displays while the laptop is shut. For those with more money to blow, the M3 MacBook Airs with more built-in storage and memory are also on sale.

Early Prime Day TV deals

Why we like it

For a budget 65-inch QLED TV, the TCL Q6 TV isn’t too shabby. As Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart mentioned, “The Q6 gets bright enough to make HDR worthwhile, complemented by the noticeable boosted color accuracy from the layer of quantum dots.” Ahead of Prime Day, it’s on sale for only $469.99 (just $22 away from its record-low).

Early Prime Day Echo deals

Why we like it

If you find yourself asking Alexa for things even when she’s not around, the Echo Frames are for you. The third-generation smart glasses make Alexa accessible wherever you go, so you can use them to control compatible smart home devices, stream podcasts, take calls, listen to your tunes, and so much more on the go. They offer up to 14 hours of battery life and come in a variety of styles and frame types, including sunglasses and blue light-filtering lenses. Every pair is on sale for a record-low $169.99 for Prime members ahead of the actual savings event. However, if you pick up the prescription-ready lenses, you’ll also get a free Echo Pop smart speaker (reg. $39.99) on top of that record-low price.

Early Prime Day printer and scanner deals

Why we like it

The HP Smart Tank Plus 651 comes with Original HP Ink bottles that will last for up to two years of printing. That’s around 8,000 color pages and 6,000 black-and-white pages out of the box. It can do all the basics: print, copy, scan, and fax. Plus, it features a 35-page automatic document feeder, borderless prints, and mobile and wireless printing. It’s not the most feature-heavy printer on the market, but it makes up for it with its compact design, printing volume, and low cost. It’s usually $289.99, but ahead of Prime Day, you can grab it for only $199.99. That’s its lowest price on record.
