Amazon Prime Day deals 2020
Amazon’s Prime Day has officially now 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.
Indeed, some are already live right now, such as the Microsoft store deals.
Amazon product deals
Amazon has kicked off Prime Day already, a couple of deals have started appearing on Amazon’s own brand products.

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
For less than $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 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

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.
