Amazon Prime Day 2022 in Australia: 25 great October deals that are still available

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2022) | M2 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD | AU$1,899 AU$1,717 (opens in new tab) (save AU$182)

If you’re tossing up between a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro, we reckon the MacBook Air is actually the better choice, at least when it comes to the 2022 models. It’s slimmer, lighter, and has a slightly bigger screen than the M2 Pro (also discounted below). Not only that, the M2 Air will get you similar performance at a cheaper price.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2022) | M2 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD | AU$1,999 AU$1,797 (opens in new tab) (save AU$202)

This is the latest version of the MacBook Pro, and it comes with the new M2 chip, which again offers incredible performance and excellent battery life. Our review (opens in new tab) found that it’s practically silent in use, with the fans rarely kicking in. Note that this 2022 model of the MacBook Pro only has a 13-inch Retina display, and it keeps the Touch Bar.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook | 8GB RAM / 256GB eMMC | AU$999 AU$677 (opens in new tab) (save AU$322)

This is one of our picks for the best Chromebooks (opens in new tab) you can get in the Aussie market, mostly because it has a better processor (a Gen 2 Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c) than older IdeaPad Duet models. The better performance comes with a very decent amount of system memory and storage for anyone looking for an everyday laptop for homework or browsing. Now with a 32% discount.

Deathloop PS5 | AU$79 AU$34 (opens in new tab) (save AU$45)

If you enjoy a thrilling game of cat and mouse, Deathloop (opens in new tab) might be a great game for you. Play as Colt, an assassin stuck in a time loop that he's desperately trying to break out of, or as Julianna, another assassin trying to keep him in it. You could pick up a copy for the PS5 for only AU$29 in the peak of the sale, but the price has since gone up to AU$34.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (Nintendo Switch) | AU$79.95 AU$45 (opens in new tab) (save AU$34.95)

Can't wait for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (opens in new tab)? Bide your time with another adventure as Link in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. This Nintendo Wii classic also has Link sky bound as he navigates through floating islands and faces fearsome foes. Grab a copy for only AU$45 and start swinging your sword across the land of Skyloft.

Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons | AU$119.95 AU$99 (opens in new tab) (save AU$20.95)

Pick up a new set of Joy-Cons for your Nintendo Switch for only AU$99. We've seen them lower before, and they were down to AU$95 in the peak of the sale, but 17% off for a pair of these brightly coloured controllers is still a nice saving. Compatible with both the original console and the OLED version, you can grab a set in purple/orange (opens in new tab) or red/blue (opens in new tab) for this price.

Razer Basilisk X wireless gaming mouse | AU$109.95 AU$49 (opens in new tab) (save AU$60.95)

We loved the Basilisk X (opens in new tab) gaming mouse in our 2020 review, giving it 4.5 stars and applauding its long-lasting battery and excellent performance. Note that this one uses a user-supplied AA battery rather than having a built-in rechargeable one – that should theoretically increase its lifespan, as integrated batteries are often the first thing to go in wireless mice.

Nintendo Switch OLED | AU$539.95 AU$489 (opens in new tab) (save AU$50.95)

This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen on the Nintendo Switch OLED (that would be Prime Day’s AU$399 Lightning Deal), but this deal knocks AU$50 off the hybrid console if you want it now and want to avoid paying full retail price.

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink | AU$249 AU$208 (opens in new tab) (save AU$41)

If you're looking for a speedy M.2 SSD to add extra storage to a PlayStation 5 or your next PC gaming rig, this PCIe 4.0 model is just the ticket. It includes a heatsink so it's ready-to-install out of the box in a PS5, and with transfer speeds of 7,000/5,000MB/s (read/write) you'll get some of the quickest load times possible. This was down to AU$169 earlier in the sale, but it's since bumped up to AU$208.

Prism+ PG270 Ultra LCD monitor (3840 x 2160, 144Hz, IPS panel) | AU$1,199 AU$887 (opens in new tab) (save AU$312)

The PG270 Ultra is a 27-inch 4K gaming monitor that delivers an excellent clear and sharp picture thanks to its 163 ppi density. Add to that very good responsiveness, colour reproduction, a great set of inputs and high quality stand and its an excellent gaming option at this price. Our colleagues over at PC Gamer have a full review. (opens in new tab) You'll just need to apply the coupon before you head to checkout.

Alienware 38-inch curved monitor (AW3821DW) | AU$2,499 AU$1,749.30 (opens in new tab) (save AU$749.70)

Save a massive 30% off this 38-inch curved monitor from Alienware. Featuring a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 21:9 aspect ratio, you'll feel fully immersed in your favourite games with this massive screen. Pick up this massive monitor for only AU$1,749.30.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (128GB) | AU$1,849 AU$1,548 (opens in new tab) (save AU$301)

The S22 Ultra is a powerful Android device. It’s got a 6.8-inch OLED screen, so we wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re happy to use a phone of that size. You can get full use out of that mega screen with the phone’s built-in S Pen stylus, making this a truly versatile phone. The cheapest we’ve seen this phone was AU$1,295 via Samsung Education, but this deal is still good and open to anyone.

Apple iPhone 13 (512GB) | AU$1,749 AU$1,626 (opens in new tab) (save AU$123)

If you want a slightly bigger phone than the mini model, you could go for the standard iPhone 13. Keep in mind that Apple dropped the RRP of its iPhone 13 range after the launch of the new iPhone 14, so the actual discount isn’t as good as Amazon’s listing suggests. The 512GB model comes with AU$123 shaved off the price, available in all colours.

Garmin Venu 2S | AU$629 AU$448 (opens in new tab) (save AU$181)

The Venu 2S is the smaller version of the regular Garmin Venu 2 (opens in new tab), and it has a 40mm case and 27.9mm display. We gave this sports watch a full five stars in our review, and we particularly love its high-res AMOLED display, which allows you to see a whole heap of data at once. Rounding out the package are its serious fitness tools and accurate GPS. Now down to AU$448 in black (opens in new tab), grey (opens in new tab), white (opens in new tab) and beige (opens in new tab).

Bose QuietComfort 45 | AU$499 AU$400 (opens in new tab)(save AU$99)

You can still snatch up a pair of the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones for AU$400 – that's 20% off. They are the follow up to the popular Bose QuietComfort 35 II (opens in new tab), and they come with top-notch noise cancellation in a comfortable set of headphones. Their sound quality is lacking a little clarity, but we think most people will be satisfied with them. 

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds | AU$399 AU$320 (opens in new tab) (save AU$79)

If you prefer earbuds over headphones, Amazon has also discounted the QuietComfort Earbuds. They pack seriously good noise cancellation, with rich and clear sound that you’ll be able to enjoy with outside noise largely muted – though you’ll find they’re a little less bassy than Sony. Amazon’s offering a AU$79 discount on the black (opens in new tab) model, which is slightly better than the AU$75 discount that was offered during the Big Smile Sale.

Apple AirPods Pro | AU$399 AU$299 (opens in new tab) (save AU$100)

While this isn't the cheapest the first generation AirPods Pro have been – that was AU$278 for Prime Day in June – there's currently only a very teeny tiny discount on the second-gen model. So if you're not fussed about all the upgrades in the new AirPods Pro, you can save a lively hundred bucks on the older model right now.

Philips Hue Bluetooth-enabled smart bulbs | from AU$29 (up to 35% off)

If you're keen to get started on a smart home setup, the easiest thing to do is to get a smart bulb or two. And the best is business is Signify's Philips Hue range. All the new Hue bulbs are now Bluetooth enabled, so you don't need any other paraphernalia to get started – just screw the bulb into a holder (be sure to check whether you have bayonet or Edison screws) and use the Philips Hue Bluetooth app to complete setup over Wi-Fi. There are a few options we think are worth checking out:

• Philips Hue White and Colour Ambiance candle smart bulb (E14) | AU$79.95 AU$59 (opens in new tab) (save AU$20.95)
• Philips Hue White Filament smart bulb (B22) | AU$44.95 AU$29 (opens in new tab) (save AU$15.95)

Google Chromecast (3rd gen) | AU$59 AU$35 (opens in new tab) (save AU$24)

While the Fire TV Stick 4K Max offer is Prime exclusive, this streaming device is available to buy for every shopper. And at 41% off, it's a right steal! Sure, there's no 4K streaming resolution here, but you'll get access to the Google Play Store on your telly, getting you all the streaming apps you need, plus allowing you to cast to your TV from your phone, tablet or laptop.

Yamaha SR-C20A soundbar | AU$279 AU$235 (opens in new tab) (save AU$44)

If you'd like to improve the sound quality of your telly, but don't have the budget to invest in a premium Sony, Bose or Sonos model, consider Yamaha. This particular option is "deceptively powerful" for an affordable soundbar, according to our colleagues at What Hi-Fi (opens in new tab). While a AU$44 discount may not seem like much, it's still a saving on a great soundbar.

Philips Premium Air Fryer XXL | AU$499 AU$395 (opens in new tab) (save AU$104)

The Philips Premium Air Fryer XXL is currently only AU$395 – that's 21% off. Decked out with a 1.4kg capacity and the ability to adjust your settings on its touch screen panel, this air fryer is a great option for those who want to enjoy some crispy delights.

De’Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Next | AU$249 AU$170 (opens in new tab) (save AU$79)

When we reviewed (opens in new tab) this coffee machine, we were surprised at how easy it was to use, and it consistently made smooth coffee with a thick crema every time. Unfortunately it’s not a great choice for latte drinkers, as it doesn’t come with a milk frother (though you’re able to buy one separately). Amazon has sliced AU$79 off the RRP.

Miele Triflex HX1 3-in-1 | AU$799 AU$509 (opens in new tab) (save AU$290)

We haven’t reviewed this particular model at TechRadar, but we’ve spent some time with the Miele Triflex HX1 Cat & Dog (opens in new tab) model and came away thoroughly impressed. This is Miele’s first cordless vacuum and it’s the standard model, with three different configurations: one for everyday cleaning, one for maximum reach and one compact. At AU$509, it’s not far off its historical low of AU$488.

Lego Marvel Goat Boat (76208) | AU$90 AU$70 (opens in new tab) (save AU$20)

This boat, I like it! Build this epic spacefaring ship straight out of Thor: Love and Thunder (opens in new tab). Helmed by two massive goats and manned by five mini figures including Thor, the god of Thunder himself, you'll be able to sail directly into Olympus with this 564 piece set. It was AU$63.20 earlier in the Amazon sale, but it’s since gone up to AU$70.

Lego Orchid (10311) | AU$100 AU$80 (opens in new tab) (save AU$20)

If you struggle to keep your indoor plants alive, why not pick up this Orchid set from Lego that’ll never wilt. It comes with 608 pieces, and we can say from experience that it’s super-relaxing to build. It was first discounted down to AU$63.20, but it’s now going for AU$80.

Nintendo Switch | AU$469 AU$339 (AU$130 off)

The Nintendo Switch dropped to AU$348 during Prime Day 2021, so this was a better deal. Whether Amazon will take this even lower during the next Prime Day is anyone's guess, but we're keeping our fingers crossed as other retailers are now matching this low price during specific sales.

Apple Watch 7 (GPS, 41mm) | from AU$599 from AU$497 (AU$102 off)

It's been very rare to see the Apple Watch 7 get discounts at any retailer. So when Amazon dropped the price by over AU$100 during Prime Day 2022, we were ecstatic. Perhaps we'll see discounts on the Apple Watch 8 after it launches, or a much bigger and better discount on the Series 7 instead.

Razer Blade 14 | Ryzen 9 / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 3070 Ti | AU$4,499 AU$3,279 (AU$1,220 off)

The Razer Blade 14 remains one of the best lightweight gaming laptops you can buy. And a whopping discount like this on a machine boasting an RTX 3070 Ti GPU was one heck of a deal on a beast. Here's hoping we see more of this, if not better, next time round.

 This model comes stacked with a Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, an RTX 3070 Ti GPU and 16GB of RAM. It’s all housed in a luxurious-looking laptop that’s easily portable too.

Kobo Libra 2 | AU$279 AU$219 (AU$60 off)

Our pick of the best ereaders on the market got a decent discount on Amazon for the last Prime Day. In fact, Kobo ereaders, until then, weren't even available on Amazon Australia. Perhaps we'll see a deeper discount on this model that offers plenty of bang for buck even at full price.

ErgoTune Supreme ergonomic office chair | AU$749 AU$454 (AU$295 off)

To make sure you get the best support while you work, ErgoTune developed its Supreme office chair to support your head and the lumbar region, offer breathability and the promise of precision tilts. It's relatively new to Amazon and it got a very decent 39% off last time. The ErgoTune Supreme V3 (opens in new tab) has just been announced, so perhaps we'll see a great discount on a better version.
