All the best Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals we can find

Expand Ars-Technica

Tuesday marks the start of Amazon Prime Day, a two-day shopping event that Amazon created in 2015 to bolster its Prime subscription service, which is required to purchase most (but not all) of the discounts available during the promotion and help boost sales during a typically slow time for online shopping.

To be clear, Amazon remains a behemoth that has done (and continues to do) lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots things worthy of review, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded with a particularly high number of deals on junky products and misleading "discounts" that don't make products much cheaper than they are usually.

However, even though only a fraction of Prime Day's deals are genuine deals, the overall selection is large enough for that fraction to make it one of the best shopping days of the year, with several great products available at prices typically reserved for year-end events like Black Friday. This is especially true for the type of gadgets and tech gear we cover on Ars.

Having spent several hours over the past week sifting through the thousands of deals in Amazon's latest Prime Day selection, we can confirm that's still the case this year. So, for those looking to pick up some new tech at a discount, we've put together a handpicked list of the best Prime Day deals we can find.

As is the case with our regular "Dealmaster" roundups, we have included mostly products that we at Ars have tested and can approve of. For what we haven't used, we rely on recommendations from several review sites and publications we trust. We have verified that each offer is genuine using price tracking tools such as Keepa,
