As Mashable’s tech editor, it’s my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets only true tech nerds know about. With the Amazon Big Spring Sale kicking off today and running through the end of March, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping.
Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I’m feeling it, too!), you don’t want to miss a chance to save some money.
I’ve personally tested many of these products, and I’m only recommending genuine deals, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word “deal.”
So, whether you have an old laptop that needs replacing or want to check out last-chance deals on last-gen tech, check out my guide to the best Big Spring Sale tech deals.
Kindles starting at $94.99
I don’t know what I’d do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

DJI drones on sale starting at $149
Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they’re still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It’s complicated.) If you’re a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

TV deals
During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab 55-inch Fire TVs at a very reasonable price, and Hisense has a good 65-inch QLED TV for just $377.

DJI creator deals
For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand’s popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable.
But let me also call your attention to the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which almost never goes on sale like this. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera, so grab it before it goes out of stock again!
