Amazon’s Prime (Big Deal) Days is set for October 8-9, 2024 and it is shaping up to be an exciting event for consumers worldwide. While the official event is still a few days away, Amazon has begun rolling out early deals accessible to everyone over the weekend, not just Prime members, and gives shoppers a taste of what’s to come.

Many of the deals that Amazon is advertising for its Prime Big Deal Days this month aren't your typical holiday gifts. To be sure, the company describes the sales event as "epic deals ahead of the holiday season" (note the "ahead" here).

In the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's " October Prime Day " sale on Oct. 8 and 9, the retail giant isn't offering a ton of great deals on 2-in-1 machines — but that's no surprise. During such sitewide sales, Amazon usually saves its best laptop deals for the exact windows of the event, forcing eager shoppers to be patient.
