The Morning After: Get ready for Amazon Prime Day 2023

<p>Prepare your ovenable protein of choice, hang out the ornaments and make haste to invite your friends. We’re rapidly approaching this year’s Prime Day, and so it’s about time you got yourself ready to indulge in Amazon’s two-day sales event. We’ve published <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day-2023-124519231.html">our latest guide to help you get set[/url], with information on how best to prepare your shopping and, crucially, where to compare historic price trends to make sure the deal you’re offered is actually a deal.</p><p>It’s worth noting that plenty of other retailers also plan to take advantage of loosened wallets in the same period. Walmart, Target and Best Buy, alongside plenty of others, will be offering deals on the same or similar items, so it’s doubly worth shopping around. If all of that feels like too much effort, then rest assured that Engadget will also be hunting and picking the best deals, which can be found in our dedicated deals newsletter.</p><p>– Dan Cooper</p><p>The Morning After isn’t just a<a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/about/newsletter/"> newsletter[/url] –  it’s also a daily podcast.

It seems to be an extraordinary mea culpa from the company after last year’s lackluster effort, and Sam’s already happy to call it the “most improved gaming laptop of the year.” Notable tweaks include a better chassis, longer battery life, great performance and a bright, fast display. Even more impressive is that MSI managed to tune this machine to outperform laptops costing much more, including the Razer Blade 18.</p><p><a data-i13n="cpos:17;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/msi-stealth-14-studio-review-a-redesign-done-right-123028890.html"><strong>Continue Reading.</strong>[/url]</p><h2><a data-i13n="cpos:18;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/music-publishers-are-suing-twitter-for-250-million-over-massive-copyright-infringement-082421118.html">Music publishers are suing Twitter for $250 million over 'massive' copyright infringement[/url]</h2><h3>They say the platform does nothing to prevent IP misuse.</h3><h3></h3><p>A coalition of music publishers believes Twitter isn’t doing enough, or anything, to combat copyright infringement on its platform.

It’s a significant figure, and much more than other PHEVs on the market such as the Prius and Outlander. VW says the range improvements come from the use of newer EV tech and that we’ll learn more about that when it launches later this year. It’s expected to hit dealerships at some point next year, which might make it the last gas-powered car some people ever buy.</p><p><a data-i13n="cpos:23;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/vws-next-tiguan-phev-can-drive-62-miles-in-electric-only-mode-153155679.html"><strong>Continue Reading. </strong>[/url]</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/the-morning-after-get-ready-for-amazon-prime-day-2023-111509175.html?src=rss
