There's a fair amount of stress attached to Prime Day, especially when you have your heart set on a particular product. This year, Amazon is being proactive with a new system that lets you line up early for access to specific discounts. We've seen them, and they're spectacular.
On the product screen, you'll see a "Request Invite" button where the "Add To Cart" is usually found. Click it, and Amazon will notify you on Prime Day to let you know you got the deal.
And these are huge deals. We're talking as much as 75% off electronics. Here are our top three picks, followed by the complete list.
Acer Swift X 14" LaptopAcer Swift X 14" Laptop
We've seen bigger screens and faster processors, but not priced anywhere near the $629.99 that the Acer Swift X is selling for here. A 31% discount is almost unheard of on laptops, and our review had already praised the PC's reasonable sticker price. Dropping it by almost 300 bucks seems criminal. Throw in Windows 11, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD, and you're basically getting this laptop for the price of parts.

JBL Live 660NC Headphones
There's a lot to love about these noise-canceling, over-the-ear headphones. But for our money, the big draw is their battery life. Delivering 50 hours of performance between charges (or 40 hours with active noise canceling turned on), the JBL Live 660NC's convenience coupled with solid sound quality is amazing at this price. Tap controls on the earcup let you activate your favorite voice assistant to change volume, turn on features, and more.

Amazon Fire TV 43" Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV
This is an irresistible deal: 75% off the price of the 43" Fire TV. You could buy four of them and arrange them in a panoramic space around your head, at that price. (If you do, please send us pictures.) With vivid 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus, as well as built-in Alexa voice control and three HDMI ports for external devices, this smart TV can turn any room into a media hub. Or every room, if you really want to go crazy.
