The massive Amazon Tech Week sale has up to 49% off these essential tools for creatives

Twice as fast as its predecessor and with a wonderfully solid and compact design, this portable external SSD is one of our favourites. The fast 2100MB/s read and 2000MB/s write speeds make it a great option for anyone who wants to edit video directly off and external storage device.

This was already one of the best-value 4K USB-C monitors for creatives. We find 27in at 4K to be the sweet spot for a home office or studio. This ProArt beauty covers 100% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 colour spaces, and it's Calman verified for accuracy. With 45% off, this is a great price.

If you're looking for a dedicated drawing tablet to use with a computer, the new and improved Wacom Intuos Pro Medium is our current top pick, offering precise control, great customisation options and a smooth drawing experience with Wacom's Pro Pen 3.

Logitech's wireless mouse got an update recently with the release of the MX Master 4, but the classic Master 3 is still a fine choice for its ergonomic design and productivity-improving features like its thumb wheel, MagSpeed scrolling and programmable buttons.

Speaking of productivity, the TourBox Elite changed my life when I started using it for video editing in Davinici Resolve. This sleek handy Bluetooth controller with haptic feedback can also be used to assign shortcuts to speed up work in Adobe software like Photoshop, Lighroom and Premier.

We continue to rate the iPad Air as the best iPad for most people. It offers an excellent drawing experience with Apple Pencil Pro (sold separately) in apps like Procreate plus enough power for light creative work, which is all most people are likely to be doing on a tablet of this size.

The Kindle remains the world's favourite e-reader and with good reason. It makes it easy to access a massive library of books anywhere, it's light and well-built, and the paperlike e-ink display is easy on the eyes.

Speaking of ink, if you're looking for a general, all-round printer for the home or office, this a great saving on the highly rated Epson EcoTank ET-2861, and with a decent amount of coloured ink included.

There are several laptops in the Amazon Tech Week sale, including some gaming laptops with more power, but this is the most impressive saving. With integrated graphics and Intel's i5 processor, it's not a device for handling high-res video editing or complex projects in Photoshop, but it would make a good second laptop for general work tasks and entertainment.

Our sister site Techradar rates this as the best webcam in its price range, giving it a 4.5-star review. It's a Full HD camera with built-in mics, HD light correction and a physical privacy shutter. At almost half price, it's now fantastic value.
