Update 10/9/24: We have one last day of Prime Big Deal Days, but the deals from earlier in the weekend are holding strong. The big 3 — HP, Canon, and Epson — are all still represented, but now there’s extra Canon for intense photo needs.

With Prime Day finally being here and running though the end of the day today, now is the perfect time to snag yourself some great Prime Day deals on laptops. While a lot of stuff has gone digital, there’s still a big need for printing, and with some of the better and longer-lasting printers getting quite expensive, getting a discount can make a big difference. That’s why we’ve gone out and looked for some of the best deals we could find and collected them for you below. Also, while you’re at it, you may want to check out these Prime Day laptop deals and Prime Day all-in-one computer deals if you’re also looking to upgrade your whole office.

Here’s what we’ve found so far in the sale:

How to Choose a Printer on Prime Day

There is a lot that goes into how to choose a printer, but when it comes down to it, the choice tends to be focused on whether you’re going for an inkjet printer or a laser printer. Each one has its own pros and cons, and we have a more specific breakdown in our guide on the differences between inkjet and laser printers, but what it boils down to is cost. Inkjet printers tend to be a lot cheaper upfront to buy, and they have good quality, especially when printing a lot of monochrome text, but the downside is that ink cartridge costs can get astronomical, and cartridges do dry without use. On the other hand, Laser printers tend to cost a lot more upfront, but the toner is cheaper and lasts longer.

Besides that, there are probably two other things worth considering when going for a printer. The first is whether you need additional features like scanning and copying, which tend to add some additional cost, especially if you’re going for a replacement of a stand-alone copying machine. Second is to consider going for a tank printer, which doesn’t use cartridges at all and instead allows you to fill internal ink tanks as needed, which is a lot more convenient and cheaper in the long run, but buying one can be a bit pricey depending on your needs.

We’ve also written a guide on reducing long-term printer costs, so you should also check that out as well to help save yourself a little extra.

How We Chose These Printer Prime Day Deals

The truth is that there is a surprising number of printers out there when you include the various models and slight variations for both inkjet and laser printers, so finding the best cheap printers isn’t always easy. That said, what we aim for is to balance cost vs. the benefit that you’re getting and compare that to things like the context of other printers in a similar price bracket. On top of that, we may use our own tools to look at historical pricing to see if the value you are getting out of the deal is actually worth it.

Ultimately, it’s not always about buying the cheapest printers, and, in fact, it is often inadvisable, especially with some printers from certain brands where the quality is not great, and you’re not getting a lot of value for your printer. That’s why we also rely on our own experience as reviewers and deal hunters to make sure that we’re picking printers that fit your needs while also being the best bang for your buck.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks
US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
