We're now on the second day of Prime Day sales, which run from Tuesday, July 8, and will run through Friday, July 11. Although most of not all of the best sales we've found happen to be on Amazon, were checking both Amazon and its chief competitors for the best deals.
I write, test, and recommend the best USB-C hubs and dongles, and do the same for the best Thunderbolt docks. For the past several years, I've been responsible for seeking out the best deals in both categories for Amazon's Prime Days, Black Friday, and more. I think it's fair to say that you'll find the best USB-C and Thunderbolt docking station deals right here.
Below, you'll find a list of deals, as well as a list of frequently-asked questions explaining what you should look for. This is an interesting transitional period! I don't expect anything unusual in terms of USB-C hub prices. Thunderbolt docks, however, are a different story: Thunderbolt 5 is arriving in the market, and older Thunderbolt 3 products (which are still somewhat viable) are being phased out. And yes, there are tariffs, which are in flux — although some just kicked in today and more may take effect on day 2 of Amazon's Prime Day sales.

One thing we're really loving about tech this year is the explosion of mini PCs. We're seeing a lot more of them and they're super affordable, rather powerful, and absolutely tiny. Some come with the latest AMD CPU, others run on Intel, some feature DDR4, others come with the newer DDR5. Storage is usually not a problem with mini PCs, either, and multitasking on multiple screens is expected.
I've gone ahead and hunted all the best mini PC deals you can currently get your hands on right now. Here are the best Prime Day mini PC discounts I found, along with my recommendations. There's also an FAQ at the end in case you need more guidance when buying these. You'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals — here's how to score a free Amazon Prime trial subscription and get in on the action.
AMD Ryzen mini PCs
Bosgame P4 Light - AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SSD, triple display support - $284.99 (29% off, was $400)

 Apple has been refining Liquid Glass during the developer beta testing process, and both beta two and beta three have introduced some major tweaks. There was little outcry over the updates that Apple made in the second beta, but the third beta's design updates have frustrated some users who feel that Apple is removing too much of the Liquid Glass aesthetic.

 Remember the movie The Wizard (1989), when Lucas shows off his Nintendo Power Glove and says, "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." English is weird; "Bad" meant good in the late 1980s. Today, "sick" means really cool. Other today-words that come to mind to review the Hoverair would be "slaps", and "fire," none of which actually sound like a good thing ... where was I going with this?
