With Amazon Prime Day only a few days away, there are a bunch of early deals that Prime members can take advantage of. Two Echo Dots will cost you only $50 right now, while the Echo Show 5 is down to a record low of $45. Non-Prime members can grab the Nest Audio smart speaker for $75, the Beats Flex earbuds for only $39 or save $200 on the MacBook Pro M1. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still buy today.
Echo Dot
Engadget
Prime members can get two 4th-gen Echo Dots for $50 when using the code PDDOT2PK at checkout. There's a similar deal on the full-sized Echo, too — pick up two for $120 with the code ECHOPRIME, allowing you to get each for $60. The latest Echo impressed us with its sound quality, while the Echo Dot is better for those who want Alexa perks without sacrificing too much space.
