Huawei Mate 10 Pro

The Huawei-flagship Mate 10 Pro arrived earlier this year with a decidedly premium price tag of $800. These days you can find it for less, but on Prime Day the deal to beat will be $499.99. Read ZDNet's hands-on coverage of the Mate 10 Pro to see if it's the phablet for you.

Yubico YubiKey 4

A plug-and-play way to add two-factor authentication to your PC. Just plug in the little USB drive and tap the gold button. The YubiKey 4 normally runs $40, but it'll be $30 on Prime Day.

ViewSonic VX3211-2K-MHD

This 32-inch IPS monitor, normally $295, will drop to $240 on Prime Day. It has a 2K WQHD (2560x1440p) resolution, meaning you can actually take advantage of its expanded size. You also get a 3-year warranty, which isn't always the case with modern monitors.

ViewSonic PX800HD projector

Though ostensibly a home-theater projector, the PX800HD has an ultra-short-throw design that make it a good fit for a conference room or the like. It lists for $1,408 and currently runs $1,300 on Amazon, but on Prime Day you can snag it for $999.99.This Prime Day deal has ended.

Vantrue N2 Pro Dashcam

Need to deploy high-quality dashcams in your fleet vehicles? The Vantrue N2 Pro normally runs $200, but on Prime Day the price will drop to $145.99 -- when you apply promo code PRIMEVNP at checkout. As an added bonus, add this Vantrue Bluetooth speaker ($50 value) to your cart at no extra charge!

Amazon Cloud Cam

An Amazon-branded security camera sounds like a solid option for the office, and indeed reviewer Jason Cipriani found it a capable, compelling choice. But the $120 price tag feels high, especially when compared with the likes of the $30 Wyze Cam Pan. Good news: the Cloud Cam is just $60 during Prime Day, a much more compelling price.

ChargeTech Portable AC Outlet Battery Pack

Powerful enough to juice up not only your phones and tables but also your laptop, ChargeTech's 27,000mAh power bank features a 3-prong AC outlet that supports a maximum draw of 85 watts. It often sells for $225 and hasn't dipped below $185 since 2017, but right now it's $140 when you apply promo code AMUZISNW at checkout.

AmazonBasics Thermal Laminator

Okay, if you need a laminator in your office -- and, let's face it, they're insanely handy -- you probably already bought one. But just in case, the AmazonBasics Thermal Laminator is a solid 30 percent off: just $11.99 for Prime Day. I own one of these, and it's slow but reliable. Currently unavailable.

Google Pixelbook

Recently, ZDNet's Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols called Google's PixelBook "the killer Chromebook." That was his assessment of the Intel Core i7-powered model, but if you can live with a little less horsepower, you can save a bundle: Amazon will have the PixelBook Core i5 for just $750. It lists for $1,000 (and the Core i7 model runs a hefty $1,500).

Motorola Moto X4

Dubbed an "affordable rock solid dual-camera, water resistant, mid-ranger" when it debuted last year, the Motorola Moto X4 earned high marks even when it was $400. Now it's $200 as part of Prime Day -- the lowest price to date at Amazon or anywhere else. If you need an unlocked phone that works with any carrier, this is the Prime Day deal to beat.

1 year of Red Pocket Mobile service for $199

Amortizing FTW! If you're really looking to cut your cell bills, consider prepaying a year at a time. With Red Pocket Mobile's current deal, you can get a full year of unlimited service (with 5GB of high-speed data per month) for $199. (Use promo code PRIMO119.) That works out to just $16.58 per month, less than the equivalent prepaid plan from Mint Mobile.

Brother ImageCenter ADS-2800W

Need to scan a lot of documents in a hurry? How does 40 pages per minute sound? Then check out the Brother ImageCenter ADS-2800W for $360. When it's not Prime Day, it sells for around $430. It can handle both single- and double-sided documents in monochrome or color, and it handles media ranging from photos to receipts to business cards.
