The best early October Prime Day tech deals to shop right now

We're almost there! Tomorrow is finally the big event, and that big event is, of course, Prime Big Deal Days on October 10 & 11. This is Amazon's unofficial kick-off to the holiday shopping season, and just like Prime Day in July, this October Prime Day will offer plummeting prices for all Amazon Prime members to enjoy. We'll see price drops across all categories, but none quite as jaw-dropping as those in tech and electronics.

If you don't believe us, check out the noteworthy deals (see below!) we're already seeing at Amazon and Walmart in the days leading up to the main event, including many of our editor-tested picks for best tablets. Not everything will be on sale tomorrow, so if something catches your eye now, it's wise to scoop it up before it sells out.

Have a look at the best Prime Day Early Access tech deals we can find right now, and scroll below the products to learn more about Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.
