FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day officially runs from July 16 to July 17.
Are there different laptop deals on Prime Day 2?
In short, yes and no. Invite-only Prime deals – or Lightning Deals – may be different each day. Amazon confirmed last month–> that new deals may surface as often as every five minutes on the site. As always, deals only last as long as Amazon decides, with Lightning Deals offering a countdown to their expiration, and other deals’ longevity depending on how fast products sell out (or don’t). It’s likely that as long as stock remains, many of the deals from Day 1 will remain live for Day 2, including deals on popular Amazon products such as laptops, Fire TVs, Kindles, Fire tablets, and Echo devices.
