Amazon Prime Day<\/span><\/strong> is four days in 2025, and we’re just kicking off day two. The Prime Day deals started dropping last month and will go on through Friday. We’ll be dangerously caffeinated and working in shifts, covering 20 hours a day through the end.<\/p>\n As Prime Day enters its second day, we have totally refreshed our recommendations to highlight categories WIRED readers want most and are shopping this Prime Day.<\/p>\n The WIRED Reviews team only recommends deals on products we\u2019ve actually tested and approved, and which are actually discounted. If you\u2019re looking for up-to-the-minute coverage of deals, check out our Amazon Prime Day liveblog<\/a>, which will run from 5 am to midnight daily.<\/p>\n Jump to Section: Tech Deals<\/a>, Home Office<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Amazon Devices<\/a>, Phones<\/a>, TVs<\/a>, Headphones & Speakers<\/a>, Kitchen<\/a>, Home Security<\/a>, Vacuums<\/a>, Home<\/a>, Beauty & Grooming<\/a>, Smartwatches & Fitness Trackers<\/a>, Outdoor & Active<\/a>, Travel<\/a>, Toys & Games<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Deals on laptops, routers, storage, cables, and more.<\/p>\n Photograph: Best Buy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re coming to Prime Day looking for something dirt cheap, I\u2019ve got one for you. Yes, this device is a Chromebook<\/a>, but as a \u201cChromebook Plus\u201d model, it\u2019s a big step up from the reputation these laptops have when kids are introduced to them in schools. The Acer Chromebook Plus 515<\/a> comes with a 1080p display, a spacious 15.6-inch display, and an Intel Core i3 processor. The screen isn\u2019t a touchscreen, but there’s good port selection and decent speakers. For the price, it\u2019s a really strong machine if your needs aren’t high. \u2014Julian Chokkattu<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Finally, we\u2019re getting some new ultra-affordable Chromebooks<\/a>. This new generation of Chromebooks look and feel more like modern laptops, and the Asus Chromebook CX15 is a great example of that. Its bezels aren\u2019t overly large, and the keyboard feels great to type on. Not perfect, of course, but at $50 off the already low price, it\u2019s one of the very best laptops you can buy at this price. \u2014Luke Larsen<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Christopher Null<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n Microsoft<\/p>\n With the Surface Pro 11th Edition (6\/10, WIRED Review)<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s long-standing 2-in-1 laptop<\/a> is finally living up to its potential. Unlike previous models, it had great performance and battery life to match its excellent design and build quality. A true iPad Pro alternative for Windows users. With the latest Surface Pro keyboard, you can now even work while disconnected from the device, making it the ultimate travel companion \u2014Luke Larsen<\/em><\/p>\n Courtesy of Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Brenda Stolyar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n Microsoft<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Enjoy simple, set-and-forget Wi-Fi courtesy of Amazon’s Eero mesh systems<\/a>. The tri-band Eero Pro 6E (7\/10, WIRED Recommends)<\/a> adds 6 GHz to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, for fast and dependable Wi-Fi. It\u2019s the perfect choice for busy households with many devices and a 1 Gbps or faster connection. The Eero Plus subscription is expensive ($10 per month or $100 per year) but includes comprehensive parental controls, advanced security, ad blocking, and even a password manager and VPN service. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: TP-Link<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As the budget pick in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems<\/a> guide, the Deco X20 is already a bargain. This Wi-Fi 6 dual-band mesh (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) is easy to set up and delivered solid results in my tests. It\u2019s not the speediest mesh, but if your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, it\u2019s likely enough. Each router has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and the vaselike design blends in easily on shelves or tables. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system from TP-Link scores a place in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems<\/a> guide. Easy to set up and configure through the mobile app, each unit has one 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and two gigabit ports. It offers fast speeds at close range on the 6-GHz band, but was also fast on 5 GHz, and offered a decent range on 2.4 GHz. There are optional subscriptions for parental controls and enhanced security. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Netgear<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n It may look like a space shuttle, but this is actually one of the best Wi-Fi routers<\/a>, and if it lands in your home, you can expect speedy Wi-Fi on three bands (6-GHz, 5-GHz, and 2.4-GHz). It also boasts a 2.5-Gbps WAN\/LAN port, five gigabit LAN ports, and a USB-C 3.0 port. This Wi-Fi 6E router has been dropping in price since Wi-Fi 7 took off, but we\u2019ve never seen it this low. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you want to upgrade your network, this tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router from Asus is tried and tested. It appears in our best routers<\/a> guide thanks to its simple setup, silky performance, and serious speed. It has plenty of ports, including a 2.5 Gbps WAN\/LAN and two USB ports, free security software, and parental controls, and offers a wealth of configuration options. For folks with internet connections up to 2 Gbps, this router delivers. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Courtesy of Netgear<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Staying connected to the internet when you travel<\/a> can be challenging, but a good mobile hotspot will keep you online, and the Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro is a very good mobile hotspot. With support for 4G and 5G networks, simply slip a SIM card in, and you\u2019re good to go. You can connect up to 32 devices, the range is up to 2,000 square feet, and, as a Wi-Fi 6E router, it supports the lightning-fast 6-GHz band. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A travel router is handy on the road or vacation, and the Asus RT-AX57 Go is our current top pick<\/a>. This 5-inch, white plastic square is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router with gigabit WAN and LAN Ethernet ports. It can connect to public Wi-Fi or your phone via the USB 3.2 port to act as a hotspot. Link your devices at home before you leave, and the Asus RT-AX57 Go keeps your family happily online. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Asus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Asus<\/p>\n Gamers seeking customizable RGB lighting and a performance edge will love the tri-band Asus ROG Rapture GT6. A single 2.4-GHz band and two 5-GHz bands offer a speedy connection for all your gaming gear. The 5-GHz performance is excellent with the wider 160-MHz channels. You also get free security software, comprehensive parental controls, game modes that boost performance and prioritize related traffic, and plenty of ports, including four Ethernet and one USB. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Anker<\/p>\n If you want something hard-wearing and fast charging from the best USB-C cables<\/a>, this is our pick. It tops out at 240 watts and has a tough, braided nylon exterior made from 100 percent recycled plastic. Anker promises this cable will last a century and it can operate in temperatures from -40 degrees to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. The ribbed cuffs make it easy to grip, it\u2019s USB-IF certified, and there\u2019s a lifetime warranty. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you hate having to fish around for the end of that charging cable, this Smartish magnetic cable wrangler is for you. It\u2019s an angled magnetic wedge with a grippy rubber bottom and a bit of weight designed to sit on your desk and hold the ends of your charging cables. It even comes with wee magnetic fasteners for cables that don\u2019t have metallic ends. \u2014Simon Hill<\/em><\/p>\n Photograph: Scott Gilbertson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This drive has been superseded by the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5<\/a>, but it’s still a great deal. The main difference is that the new drive is faster, but for something like backups, this will work just fine. LaCie’s padded drives are great for travel,<\/a> and frankly, this is a steal at this price. \u2014Scott Gilbertson<\/em><\/p>\nTech Deals<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
