Should I wait for Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is officially July 16th and 17th, and sales are already starting to ramp up, both at Amazon and competing retailers. It's best to keep an eye out and grab your deals while you can. If something does get cheaper, Amazon offers free returns, so you can always get your money back and buy it for that lower price if it comes around.
Will you need Amazon Prime?
In order to enjoy all the discounts through Amazon's Prime Days, you will require an active Amazon Prime membership. This can be in the form of a paid subscription or the 30-day free trial, offered by Amazon to new customers. We'd recommend using the latter if you've yet to take out an Amazon Prime subscription to see if the service is for you, and it'll allow you to enjoy all that Amazon Prime Day has to offer.
That being said, many of the deals available ahead of Prime Day don't require a Prime subscription, and you can still save a ton of money that way. Be sure to keep an eye out, even if you're not subscribed.
Amazon Prime
Pick up a USB dock for less with Amazon Prime. A subscription is required to take advantage of these deals.
FAQ
Q: What makes a good deal?
It's important to keep an eye out for enticing deals but not every discount is one worth taking advantage of. Vendors have been known in the past (on Amazon, as well as other retailers) to artificially inflate product prices ahead of deals only to return them to normal listing levels and label them as a "discount" when it's anything but. That's why we always recommend using browser extensions and websites like CamelCamelCamel to make sure you're getting a good deal.
Q: USB-C vs. Thunderbolt
You may spot two stark differences with some USB hubs and docking stations and that's what type of primary connection is used to connect the device in question to your laptop. USB-C is more popular and widely supports by most hardware, whereas Thunderbolt is available for those who have dedicated ports on their devices. The main difference between the two is the speed with Thunderbolt offering considerably higher (essentially double) bandwidth for data at 40Gbps.
