8 last-minute Prime Day tech deals under $100: Don’t miss out!

Wednesday October 9, 2024. 09:19 PM , from PC World
The final hours of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are upon us, and you’ve probably made all the big purchases you were targeting heading into the event. But why not spend the waning hours of October Prime Day by seizing advantage of the deals to upgrade your overall tech setup?

Here are a handful of under-$100 tech deals you absolutely, positively don’t want to miss before Amazon’s Big Deal Days ends at midnight Pacific time.

SD Hynix Beetle X31 portable SSD: $64.99 (36% off) on Amazon

We absolutely adored this pint-sized powerhouse when we reviewed it, gracing it with a sterling 4.5-star rating and a coveted Editors’ Choice award. During Prime Days, you can get the 1TB model for a measly $65 – way below the usual $95 and in fact cheaper than the 512GB model. Don’t miss out – I’ve personally recommended this deal to three of my friends during Prime Day.

Kensington SD2480T USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 dock: $62.77 (65% off) on Amazon

Thunderbolt docks provide abundant connections for port-starved laptops, letting you turn your notebook into an ad-hoc desktop setup, but man are they expensive: Most start at $200 and only go up from there.

Fortunately, the Kensington SD2480T is available for a song during Prime Days as the company clears out older (but still incredibly performant) Thunderbolt 3-based docks. You can check out our deeper dive into the specs here but tl;dr? If you want a TB dock without breaking the bank, just go buy it while it’s cheap!

1.5TB SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 MicroSDXC Card: $89.29 (40% off) on Amazon

My colleague Mike Crider summed it up perfectly in his coverage of this killer deal:

“Normally $150, the SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 MicroSDXC Card is on sale for Amazon Prime Day with a sweet $60 discount. That brings it down to $89.29, which is barely $4 more than the 1TB variant (which is currently going for $85). I could give you sarcastic figures about how many MP3s it would hold, but here’s a more relevant example: It can hold a full PC installation of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III six times over. Good lord.”

Edifier R1280T bookshelf speakers: $83.99 (30% off) on Amazon

Mike once again summed things up perfectly in this roundup of 6 killer Prime Day deals on PC gear I own, use, and love:

“These babies have been sitting on my desk for years. There’s a reason this affordable, powerful set of speakers is so popular: they sound great and they’ll rattle your bones in a small office. There are fancier speakers out there, but you won’t find anything with this combination of quality and value. If you’re still using the teeny-tiny speakers in your monitor, for the love of Pete just get these already.”

Good flash drives for cheap!

It’s a great time to stock up on fast, spacious flash drives too, because everyone can use more storage. This compact 128GB Samsung Fit Plus flash drive is just $16.99 on Amazon, a huge drop from its $45 MSRP. If you need even more portable storage performance, SanDisk’s 512GB Ultra Fit flash drive is on sale for $35, down from its usual $50. Not only does the SanDisk offer much more capacity, it offers password protection with 128-bit AES encryption for the security-conscious.

Iniu 10,000mAh portable charger: $19.99 (33% off) on Amazon

A mobile power bank is always a good thing to have in your backpack – especially when this one is thin, light, delivers enough juice to fully charge most phones, and on sale for just under $20.

If you’re looking for a larger power bank with enough juice to rejuvenate a laptop, check out Anker’s luxurious 24,000mAh 3-port laptop charger instead. It’s just $89.99 during Prime Day, down from its usual chest-clutchingly expensive $150.

TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender: $22.98 (54% off) on Amazon

Want to eliminate pesky dead spots in the furthest reaches of your home, but don’t want to blow hundreds on a full mesh Wi-Fi system. Give this wireless extender a try for around $20 instead and see it it helps!
