Amazon has already moved on from Prime Day and shifted its focus to new deals not tied to any particular shopping event or sale. With a month separating us from Black Friday, we’ve gotta fill that gap somehow — and deals for the sake of deals are our favorite kind. We did some digging and rounded up a few that have caught our attention on Oct. 17, with some standouts from Apple, Samsung, and more.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are of interest to you, be sure to look back at our picks from Oct. 15 and Oct. 16. Many of those are still live, like $155 off the Dyson Hot + Cool and a record-low on the Sony ULT Wear headphones.

Our top pick

After hanging out at $1,799 for the last week or so, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip is back down to $1,699 at Amazon. While that’s not quite its lowest price ever (that would be $1,499), it’s still a significant $300 discount. The M3 Pro is scary fast with an insanely good battery life (up to 22 hours versus the M3’s 17). Other upgrades include fast remote screen sharing with other Macs, Game Mode, and a new Space Black color. The base model packs pretty impressive specs as well: an M3 Pro chip with 11‑core CPU, 14‑core GPU, 18GB RAM, and 512GB SSD.

Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds in blue

Although Apple may have you thinking you need to drop over $100 on a pair of good noise-cancelling earbuds, that’s not always the case. The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are some of our favorite buds under $100, and they just got a 25% price drop at Amazon, making them even more budget-friendly. The Liberty 4 NC buds boast Adaptive ANC 2.0, which can calculate your external environment in real time and automatically adjust to the proper noise-cancelling mode (you can also adjust it on your own), plus Wind Noise Reduction, 3D Surround Sound, and custom HearID sound settings. They’re not perfect, but as former Mashable intern Stacia Datskovska noted in testing, “The fact that Soundcore even offers these features sets the brand apart from market competitors.”

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE should be called the Galaxy Tab S9 Lite. It touts the same tough IP68 dust- and water-resistant rating as the S9, a slightly smaller battery capacity (8,000 vs. 8,400 mAh), and the same included S Pen. But it’s also significantly cheaper. Usually $449.99, the 128GB version with WiFi only is on sale for only $339.99 at Amazon. The S9 with the same amount of storage, on the other hand, is about $400 more. If you want a reliable tablet on a budget, it’s certainly worth checking out. If you want a larger screen and a slight boost in RAM, the FE+ is also a solid option and is on sale for $499.99.

Sparkling water lovers can start making their own concoctions at home with the help of the SodaStream Terra starter kit. Complete with a CO2 can, a SodaStream carbonation bottle, and a Bubly Drops bottle to get you started, it’s a $99.99 value, but as of Oct. 17, it’s on sale for only $59.98. That’s 40% in savings and matches its record-low price. With a low learning curve, you can start creating fresh sparkling drinks at the push of a button after setup.
