Amazon’s October Prime Day event has ended, delivering a death blow to some of our favorite deals and discounts from the past 48 hours. However, that’s not to say all of the deals have vanished. In fact, a surprising number have stuck around just a bit longer, offering procrastinators everywhere — or at least in the US — another opportunity to cash in on Amazon’s two-day sales event. What’s more, a few retailers are still matching Amazon’s pricing, saving you from having to sign up for a Prime account just to save a buck. In some cases, those other retailers are offering deals that have expired or sold out on Amazon.
For example, AirPods 4, Razer’s Blade 16 Laptop, and LG’s 48-inch C4 OLED TV are all still on sale for their Prime Day prices. So if you missed out earlier this week, consider this your final chance to save big before Black Friday and Cyber Monday come knocking.

The headphones feature a slim design, two processors for handling active noise cancellation, eight microphones (four for voice calls), and 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled. They also sound excellent, with lots of detail and tight bass. They don’t fold down, though, so keep that in mind if you travel or commute with a smaller backpack. Read our review.

- Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller is on sale for around $49.95 ($15 off) at Amazon and Walmart for Prime Big Deal Days. It doesn’t have bells and whistles like programmable buttons or RGB lighting, but in our experience, it’s one of the most reliable controllers around. Its batteries don’t need to be swapped out very often, and that inconvenience is outweighed by the fact that you don’t have to plug in a wire every time you want to play a game.
- EA Sports College Football 26 is on sale at Amazon for $36.54 (about $33 off) for the PlayStation 5. In case you missed its big relaunch last year, EA’s back to making annual college football games now that it has a way to pay players who opt in to have their name, image, and likeness included. Athletes were paid $1,500 each to be in this year’s title and were given a free copy, so there’s that.

Apple MacBook Air 13 (2025, M4)
The MacBook Air is by far the laptop The Verge recommends the most frequently. The latest generation isn’t revolutionary, but it packs a speedy M4 chip, more RAM, and an improved webcam for a lower starting price of $999. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- While not a laptop, there’s no denying how good the M4 Mac Mini is — especially on sale for $499 ($100 off) at Amazon. It was $30 cheaper in the summer, but if you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use there’s no better value for a powerful little desktop. Read our review.
- The Acer Swift 16 AI is once again heavily discounted to $799.99 ($450 off) at Best Buy. The Swift 16 addresses one of my biggest issues with the Swift 14: its low-rent screen quality. The Swift 16 has a 16-inch OLED with 2880 x 1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh, and it packs lots of ports as well as a very good Intel Lunar Lake chip.
- The 14-inch Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is $899.99 ($450 off) and the 16-inch version is $1,249.99 ($500 off), both at Best Buy. They both pack Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite processors, which perform okay compared to other Snapdragon-based laptops from this year and last — though few of them look this sleek, and the Samsung is a much more appealing package on this level of discount.

Razer’s latest and greatest version of its Blade 16 laptop returns to a thinner, more travel-friendly chassis. It comes with RTX 50-series GPU options but each configuration features an excellent OLED display. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- Razer’s smaller Blade 14 laptop for 2025 is on sale at Amazon for $1,899.99 ($100 off). It may not be a huge discount, but it’s the Blade 14’s best deal yet. You can get it in black or white with a 14-inch 2880 x 1800 / 120Hz OLED, RTX 5070 GPU, AMD Ryzen 9 AI 365 CPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. It’s a fair amount of power for a compact and travel-friendly laptop that isn’t strictly just for gaming. Read our review of its larger Blade 16 sibling.
- The Asus TUF Gaming A16 laptop with RTX 5070 GPU is $1,349.99 ($350 off) at Best Buy. Asus’s TUF Gaming is a lower-end line than the ROG Strix, but in these configurations it’s better core specs with a lower-res and lower-refresh screen.
