Frequent questions
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 will begin on July 16 at 12:01am PDT and run through July 17.
Are deals really cheaper on Prime Day?
Deals are usually best during Prime Day, especially on big-ticket items like TVs, Amazon products, laptops, and more. However, it’s also a great time to score savings on everyday essentials and products. You can also save on deals during other Amazon events, like Prime Big Deal Days in October and the Big Spring Sale in March, but the savings aren’t usually as big as during Prime Day in July.
How did we pick these weird Prime Day tech deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy: devices and products we want, need, or would recommend. I’ve deviated a bit from the usual here, recommending gear I’ve had the chance to test and review in depth, and I’ve gone with things I love and might be tempted to buy.
I feel comfortable doing this for several reasons:
- I have reviewed the reviews, which allows me to separate the wheat from the chaff.
- Several of the products I recommend come from companies I have dealt with in the past.
- If a product doesn’t meet your needs, Amazon makes it easy to return it!
When will these offers expire?
Deals are subject to sell out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals so you get the best savings. Our team of experts regularly reviews the deals we share to make sure they are still current and available. We’re sorry you missed out on this deal, but don’t worry – we’re constantly finding new opportunities to save and sharing them with you on ZDNET.com.
