How did we pick these October Prime Day deals?
As editor of ZDNET, I only write about deals that I or a team member would like to buy — devices and products we want, need, or recommend. I look for deals that are at least 20% off (or almost never at all), using price comparison tools and established trackers to determine if the deal is actually worth it. Whether to discount and how often to discount.
I also checked customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who have owned and used the deals I recommend. These recommendations may also be based on my own testing (or that of another ZDNET expert) — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to give you the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
