  "account": "Amazon Prime Day, also known as Amazon Big Deal Days, has returned for October 2026. The event aims to help PC enthusiasts find the best deals amid soaring prices on key components. Throughout this live coverage, our experts will curate deals across various categories, including CPUs, GPUs, RAM, SSDs, laptops, gaming PCs, peripherals, and more.\n\nAlthough Amazon Prime Big Deals Day officially starts on Tuesday, October 6, some great deals are already available. We'll also feature offers from other retailers hosting their own sales during this period, such as Newegg.\n\nTo participate in Amazon's sale, you'll need an Amazon Prime membership, but even a free trial will grant you access. Quick links for more information include Amazon Prime Day deals, Amazon Prime Free Trial, Amazon Prime Monthly Plan ($14.99), and Amazon Prime Annual Plan ($139).\n\nHere are a few of our hottest Prime Day tech deals:\n\n1. 25-Piece Upgraded Electric Screwdriver Kit: originally priced at $49.99, now $29.99. This kit includes a 1,500mAh battery, LED, and extension rod, making it perfect for PC maintenance or DIY tasks.\n\n2. 9100 Pro 1TB SSD: previously priced at $339.99, now $249. This Gen 5 SSD offers speeds up to 14,700MB/s, which is just $10 more than the slower 990 Pro. It's an ideal drive to boost your rig's performance or start a new gaming PC.\n\n3. External Power Button for Desktop PC: once $13.99, now $13.29. This sleek power button features a 2-meter (~78 inches) cable and a splitter for connecting to the case's front panel buttons. It also comes with adhesive pads and zip-ties.\n\nAs AI has driven many PC components' prices up, here's a quick overview of the current state:\n\n32GB of RAM now costs at least $400, while a 1TB SSD is set to cost at least $150. High price jumps have also been seen on graphics cards. Despite these increases, there are still some excellent deals available on Amazon Prime Day.",
