It’s day three of Prime Day, folks. We’re nearly 75 percent of the way through Amazon’s four-day sales event, and unsurprisingly, many deals are still sticking around. There have been all kinds of discounts on things like TVs, smart home gadgets, chargers, headphones, and more.
Prime Day typically isn’t as big of a deal as Black Friday, but it’s a chance to get some solid discounts on tech purchases both large and small. Many items are at or near their all-time low prices, and in the case of things that got more expensive this year due to RAMageddon it can be a chance to nab them at their old prices.
Be sure to check out all our coverage, which we are thoroughly checking and updating throughout all four days of Prime Day.

If you see it in any of our coverage, you know it’s something we’ve tested or owned and feel comfortable recommending.
