Amazon’s fall Prime Day event — called Prime Early Access Sale — with sitewide savings for Prime members on everything from skin care and home goods to holiday gifts and fitness equipment, ends tonight, meaning there are just a few short hours left to take advantage of these deals.
So if you’re looking to save money on tech like a laptop, earbuds or an Apple Watch, some of the best deals are still available.
For anyone who wants to save big on a laptop, this 2020 13-inch MacBook Air with 8GB of memory is its lowest price ever at $799 — a 40% savings.
To evaluate the quality of this deal, and all other deals we recommend, we’re using price comparison tools like Honey and CamelCamelCamel to ensure shoppers are getting the lowest price over time and across retailers.
Apple MacBook Air (2020)
- Lowest price ever
- 4.8-star average rating from 12,964 reviews on Amazon
With up to 18 hours of battery life and faster graphics and processing speeds thanks to Apple's M1 chip, according to the brand, this MacBook Air is a great option for those looking to upgrade their current laptop situation. This model has 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, which should be enough for most people. If you need more storage but love what the MacBook Air has to offer, you may want to look into an external hard drive.
The Series 8 Apple Watch is also on sale for Amazon’s fall Prime Day for the first time, meaning that it is available at its lowest price ever.

With improved sensors and technology compared to its predecessor, the Apple Watch Series 8 can give you a deeper insight into your health and fitness, according to the brand. Apple says the newest edition of the Apple Watch includes updates on previous edition’s features — including temperature sensing, crash detection (which can connect you with emergency services in the event of an accident) and more. It’s easily customizable, too, with different sizes, band materials and colors to choose from.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) are also on sale for the first time ever during the fall Prime Day event, meaning that like the Series 8 Apple Watch, they are at their lowest price ever.

The earbuds are designed with active noice cancellation to drown out sounds around you, but you can also use them in transparency mode to hear background noise. They have touch controls you can tap to adjust volume and answer calls, for example. They come with a MagSafe charging case as well as ear tips in four sizes to customize their fit to the size and shape of your ear canal.
Elsewhere, Walmart also has competing rollbacks that will run through Oct. 13, with the first generation Apple AirPods Pro with MagSafe Charging Case currently at their lowest price since last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

The water- and sweat-resistant AirPods offer over 24 hours of listening time with the MagSafe Charging Case, according to the brand. They’re equipped with both active noise cancellation to block out noise around you and transparency mode, which lets you hear background sound, like traffic, while on the phone or listening to music. The AirPods come with silicone ear tips in three sizes.
The Prime Early Access Sale is similar to Prime Day (the sale started by Amazon in 2015), but this October event kicked off early holiday shopping. As with July’s Prime Day, other retailers like Target, Walmart and Wayfair have been hosting their own early pre-Black Friday counter sales. The Prime sale ends tonight, so make sure to keep up with our continual coverage of the Prime Early Access Sale, aka “October Prime Day” — we are still highlighting lightning deals and sharing some of our favorite deals into the night.
