Looking for a portable, super-light, but very capable Windows laptop? Well, this is a cracking option, and with it's Wacom pen compatibility, it's a great choice for students and digital artists alike. I really like that it comes with 16GB RAM (shouldn't all laptops?! MacBook, I'm looking at you!)

This deal is getting better. It was $799 and now it's $50 lower. True, this is the 8GB RAM iteration (16GB should be standard in 2024), but for everyday use, this 13-inch portable laptop is stylish and powerful enough.

With its OLED display, 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, not to mention Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, this is a frontrunner for laptop of the year here at Creative Bloq. We love it, and if you're into multi-screen versatility, we reckon you will too.

OK, that's more like it. 18GB RAM with a M3 Pro chip makes this a snappy option for creatives pros of all types (well, maybe not 3D modellers – you'll want the M3 Max). I've used this laptop, and though it's a lot heavier than the two option above, with that weight come power! Beautiful display, and plenty of grunt. Nice.

Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro: $399.99 $199 at Anycubic
Save $200: We're stepping away from Amazon for a second (not all the best Prime Day deals are on Amazon, after all). Right now the best deal on one of the best entry-level 3D printers out there, comes direct from the manufacturer. The Kobra 2 Pro is fast, so if you want to get into 3D printing, and see the results right away, this is a great choice.

It's the same with the mid-level Ender-5 S1 – the best deal is not to be found on Amazon this year. This model offers speeds of 250mm/s, and has a touchscreen for ease of use. This is one of the biggest saves on one of the best printers we've found so far this Prime Day 2.

When it comes to pro digital art tech, the iPad Pro has always been a favourite. At over a grand, this is really only for professionals who want maximum portability in their art making, but with the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, it really is a unique canvas.

Case in point: the Mac mini (M2, 2023), with 8‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, and 256GB SSD. Yes, it only comes with 8GB RAM, which instantly takes it off the radar of pros like video editors. But photo editors, students and writers – this is a stylish PC at a decent price.

Getting this beast for under a grand is a great deal. But who is it for? Well, as it comes with a stylus, I'd say anyone who wants to start scribbling and sketching straight away. True, it's not as responsive as an iPad Pro for digital art, and this is an Android tablet, which comes with its positives ands negatives. But with a gorgeous AMOLED Touchscreen – and did I mention it's 14.6-inches – this is a great tab for some artists and all movie watchers!
