Amazon Prime Day deals 2020
Amazon’s Prime Day has officially kicked off, and there are already some great Prime Day deals and other offers to be had, and more will be added throughout today and tomorrow. We’ll be digging through what’s on offer to bring you the best bargains on everything from gaming laptops to PC peripherals.
Historically, Prime Day has been a summertime sale reserved specifically for members of its subscription-based Amazon Prime service. So yeah, you may need an Amazon Prime membership to get the most out of the event.
In a normal year Prime Day kicks off in July with savings on a host of different kit, and yes, sometimes even PC gaming gear too. But this is no normal year, and so Bezos and Co. have delayed the two-day event until now.

LG 55-inch 4K Nano 8-series | $899 $499.99 at Amazon
Let’s face it, as much as we’d all love an OLED screen they don’t come cheap. But you can get a 55-inch LG TV for a price that almost comes close. Of course $500 is still a lot of cash, but for a 4K smart TV you’d do well to find one with the same level of quality as this Nano 8-series from LG today.View Deal
Razer Blade 15 | $2599.99 $1,699.99 at Microsoft.com
This is a great price for one of the best gaming laptops around. It’s consistently been among our top picks and this is a great price. The chassis is slim, the Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU is powerful, and the 15.6-inch display runs at 240Hz. The CPU may be technically last-gen, but the 9th Gen Intel chips are still great mobile gaming processors.View Deal
DeathAdder Essential – White | $49.99 $19.99
If the snowy look is your bag this is a simple, sleek alternative to some to the flashier models. The DPI might be lacking and it’s not as programmable, but it’s going to do the job if you’re on a budget, and at just $20 it’s going to be doing it for what is practically pocket-change.View Deal
Sony X900H 65-inch 4K | $1,399.99 $998 at Amazon
This 2020 version of Sony’ X900H is 65-inches of sheer 4K beauty, and for less than $1,000 it’s also a great price for a TV this size. Sony’s picture processing is excellent and it comes with HDMI 2.1 too, the connection for Nvidia and AMD’s latest GPUs.View Deal
Evoo Ultra Thin | $239 $199 at Microsoft.com
Okay, so it’s not strictly a gaming laptop, but this chuck-in-the-bag machine will mean you don’t have to lug your 15-inch RTX-powered beast into school or the office. The dual-core processor isn’t going to let you smash through vast spreadsheets, but for a bit web-browsing and word processing it’ll work.View Deal
Best Amazon Prime Day gaming laptop deals
Asus TUF Gaming A15 | RTX 2060 | $999.99 $799.99 at Best Buy
This is a more affordable version of the model we reviewed earlier this year. It is a fast laptop out of the box with a potent CPU and GPU combo, and should you decide to double up the RAM by adding another 8GB stick, you’d still have spent well below the normal selling price.View Deal
Acer Nitro 5 | $728 at Amazon
For a little over $700 you get a 1080p IPS display, a quad-core/eight-thread Intel CPU, and a discrete GPU that will give you decent HD gaming chops on the go.View Deal
Best Amazon Prime Day gaming PC deals
HP Omen 30L | $1,579.99 $1,379.99 at HP
This 12-core/24-thread gaming PC, also sports an RX 5700 XT for quality 1440p gaming. It’s soon-to-be last gen, but that means it’s not a bad price. Though we’d add another 8GB RAM in the config.View Deal

Kraken X Headset | $49.99 $32.99 at Amazon

Amazon Prime Day gaming keyboard and mouse deals
Razer DeathAdder v2 | $69.99 $55.99
This impressive pro peripheral takes point on our list of best gaming mice. It was already a bargain but now Amazon have taken it down by 20% its at its cheapest price to date. Certainly worth a look.View Deal

If the snowy look is your bag this is a simple, sleek alternative to some to the flashier models. The DPI might be lacking and it’s not as programmable, but it’s going to do the job if you’re on a budget, and for practically pocket-change.View Deal
Razer Naga Trinity Wired MMO | $89.99 $59.99
We’ve logged it as the best MMO gaming mouse around, and its just gotten a 40% price drop. It’s highly customisable with an array of side panels, which makes it a dream for MMO players who want their quickbar on super easy access.View Deal
Razer Viper | $79.99 $47.99
Another for the goofy-stance clickers among us, the Viper has had 40% shaved off the RRP. This is the cheapest we’ve seen the 16,000 DPI, ambidextrous mouse, and with speedy switches like these, I’d recommend taking a look.View Deal
Razer Mamba Elite | $89.99 $49.99
Some more high quality gear here, almost as good as the DeathAdder, but not as fancy. This one’s had a 44% price drop, and with some very positive reviews, it could be the rodent for you.View Deal
Razer Huntsman | $149.99 $79.99
The no-nensense version of the Huntsman elite (which holds a place in our best gaming keyboards of 2020). This opto-mechanical keyboard is certainly worth a look right now.View Deal

Asus Prime Z490-A | $299.99 $179.99 at Newegg
The Prime series is one of Asus’s more affordable motherboard lines, but it still has a decent feature set for the money. ARGB lighting, 12+2 DrMOS power stages and a clean look make this a no-nonsense Intel 10th gen motherboard.View Deal
Intel Core i7 9700K | $369.99 $299.99 at Newegg
This 8-core last-gen Intel chip may lack Hyperthreading, but it still packs a mighty punch in the latest games, thanks to its 4.9GHz Turbo. Great if you’ve already got an LGA 1151 motherboard. It also comes with the Marvel’s Avengers game.View Deal
Amazon Prime Day deals to make us happy
Should I wait for Black Friday 2020 instead?
Thankfully, Amazon Prime Day 2020 won’t take up the entire of October and will just be a two-day event, but will you be better off waiting for Black Friday, or will Prime Day offer better deals on the products you want?
As an exclusive Prime Members-only sale you can expect that Amazon’s own tech will be on offer with a heap of deals on Echo and Kindle hardware, but historically Prime Day has also seen a huge number of special offers on laptops too.
There will likely be a lot of discounts on things like TVs and peripherals too. We don’t expect there to be any big discounts on other PC goodies, though with new graphics cards and processors arriving at the tail end of this year, it is possible that last-gen PC components might see some price cuts.
You will need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of some of the best deals on Prime Day 2020, which isn’t necessarily the case around Black Friday, but it’s often possible to sign up for an Amazon Prime membership with a 30-day free trial at any point.
We’ll be keeping an eye on what’s going on around Prime Day, whenever Jeff does decide to unleash the really big deals, so be sure that if there are any Prime Day PC deals worth shouting about, we’ll be doing it.
