Today’s Best Tech Deals

Apple MacBook Air (2019) 128GB | $900 | Amazon

Apple’s new MacBook Airmay be boring, but it’s a thin little workhorse with a bigger, better screen and a faster processor than the 12″ MacBook, which might just hit your laptop Goldilocks zone. And unlike the MacBook Pro, it comes with TouchID (yay!) without the obnoxious Touch Bar (yay!).

If the price was scaring you away, Amazon is taking $200 off the brand new (released in July) 2019 model, which added a True Tone display, faster SSD performance, and a revamped keyboard that should prove more reliable. The deal’s available for both the 128GB and 256GB configurations, and in all three colors. For whatever it’s worth, my wife got one of the 2018 models when it first came out, and she loves it.

Logitech PC Peripheral Gold Box | Amazon

This is hardly the first Logitech PC peripheral Gold Box deal Amazon’s ever run, but it is the first to include Yeti microphones from BLUE, which Logitech acquired last year.

If you’re looking to start a podcast (it’s going to be a hit, seriously), the YETI Nano is a solid starter mic for $70, or you can opt for the original Yeti for $90, in a variety of colors.

As for Logitech-branded gear, the most exciting deal here is probably the original MX Master mouse for $47. It’s been iterated on a few times in recent years, but it’s still a terrific mouse.

Gamers can enjoy 7.1 surround sound for just $50 with the G633 headset.

Advertisement

And for anyone that’s ever typed their Netflix password into a smart TV with a D-pad, this TV-optimized wireless keyboard will be the best $40 you spend today.

For the rest of the deals, be sure to head over to Amazon before the end of the day, and remember that the best stuff could very well sell out early.

Samsung’s solid state drives are some of the best in the business, and this 500GB 970 EVO is currently $10 cheaper than its all-time lowest price.

Advertisement

If you’re still using an old hard drive with spinning platters, there are few things you can do to make it faster than swap it out for an SSD. Even better if it’s an NVMe drive that can be up to six times faster than your typical SATA drive. If you haven’t upgraded, or even if you’re still just using an old, non-NVMe drive, this can be a substantial and inexpensive upgrade to extend the life of your computer.

Samsung 32GB MicroSD Card | $7 | Amazon

Samsung 64GB MicroSD Card | $11 | Amazon

Samsung 128GB MicroSD Card | $19 | Amazon

Samsung 256GB MicroSD Card | $38 | Amazon

Samsung 512GB MicroSD Card | $78 | Amazon
Graphic: Eric Ravenscraft

Samsung makes some of our favorite MicroSD cards and today every capacity in the entire Samsung EVO line is down to its lowest price ever—or within a dollar of it. Every model from 32GB up to 512GB are cheaper than they’ve ever been. If you’ve been looking for a cheap way to upgrade the storage on your Switch or take more photos with your DSLR, there’s a steal here for any budget.

Private Internet Access 1-Year Subscription | $29 | Renews at the same price in perpetuity
Graphic: Private Internet Access

Advertisement

If you’re a NordVPN customer, you may have heard about a long-undisclosed security breach this week, and thus might be in the market for a new VPN provider. And even if you have no idea what I’m referring to, it might be worth signing up for a VPN service anyway, which can protect your privacy when browsing the web, and even let you access content from certain sites and streaming video providers that aren’t available in your physical location (Love Island, anyone?)

Advertisement

Private Internet Access has long been our readers’ favorite VPN service thanks to its low prices, its speed, and its excellent apps for every major platform. And now with the news of the NordVPN hack, they’re offering the best price we’ve ever seen on an annual subscription: $29 for the whole year. That’s $10 less than it’s been previously, and the best part is that your subscription will renew every year at the same $29 price, as long as you don’t cancel.

20% Off Casper 12″ Foam Mattresses (All Sizes) | Amazon | Some require you to clip a 10% coupon

Casper offers 10% discounts on its own site from time to time, but oddly enough, you can get much better deals on the original mattress in a box if you buy yours from Amazon right now.

Every size of the standard 12″ foam mattress is about 20% off, with Prime shipping. Some, like the queen, are marked down by the proper amount already, but others will require you to clip a 10% coupon on the page to stack with the existing discount.

15 Pound 48″x 72″ Weighted Blanket | $40 | Amazon | Clip the $10 coupon and use code 57Q2V3RZ

15 Pound 60″x 80″ Weighted Blanket | $44 | Amazon | Clip the $10 coupon and use code PWO3KCEY

20 Pound 60″x 80″ Weighted Blanket | $53 | Amazon | Clip the $10 coupon and use code UC6XXQ5E

Maybe you like to feel really warm and cozy when it’s cold outside. Maybe you’re stressed about your favorite sports website imploding in spectacular fashion. Either way, these weighted blankets can make you feel just a little bit better.

Advertisement

Deals are available today on twosizes of 15 pound blankets (remember, bigger isn’t necessarily better, since the weight will be distributed over a larger area), or one 20 pounder. Personally, I want my weighted blankets to be capable of breaking ribs, but the general recommendation is 10% of your body weight. Not to stress you out, but we wouldn’t expect this deal to last for long.

In all three cases, be sure to clip the $10 coupon on the product page, and use the corresponding promo code at checkout.

SimpliSafe 9 Piece Wireless Home Security System | $279 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Today’s Amazon Gold Box features by far the best price ever on this 9-piece SimpliSafe Home Security System. Normally selling for $360-$400, this bundle includes the base station, four entry sensors, a keypad, two motion sensors, a SimpliCam security camera, a yard sign, window security stickers and a month of free monitoring.

This SimpliSafe Security System promises that you won’t need to sign any contracts or use any tools to start using. Plus, it’ll work with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which can be super convenient. Just remember that this will only stick around until the end of the day, or until sold out. So lock this deal down before it disappears.

Mr Beams MB360 Wireless LED Spotlight | $11 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Advertisement

We post a lot of deals on solar-powered motion-sensing outdoor spotlights, but this Mr. Beams model trades in the solar panel for a sleeker look and the ability to mount operate in permanently shaded areas.

Three D batteries will power them for 1800 on/off cycles, and their built-in photocells ensure they won’t come on and waste power when it’s still light out. Our Deal Researcher Corey has had the same model for two years, and hasn’t had to change the batteries once.

$11’s the best price Amazon’s offered on this model all year, so lock in your order before the lights go out on this deal.

Instant Pot Duo 60 Red | $60 | Amazon

The Instant Pot isn’t just the fastest rice cooker you’ll ever own. Or a magical appliance that can turn frozen-solid chicken breasts into an edible meal in like 15 minutes. It’s also going to be your favorite Thanksgiving dinner assistant.

This attractive new red model is marked down to $60 in today’s Amazon Gold Box, which is down from the usual $100, and an all-time low.

Go take a look at your international travel bucket list, because there’s a pretty good chance one of those destinations is included in Emirates’ big International Sale.

The best way to sort through the best deals is to select your departure airport from the dropdown menu on this page (13 U.S. airports are included), leave the destination blank, and hit search. You’ll then see a list of the best economy and business class fares, and you can also drill down on the available inventory with the search tools to only see fares for certain months, or in certain price ranges.

Advertisement

The cheapest flight we saw was from JFK to Milan for $459 roundtrip (in a double decker A380!), but as you’d expect from Emirates, there are also lots of options to far-flung destinations in the middle east, Asia, and Africa as well.

These fares are available (while supplies last, obviously) until November 12, and most seem to be valid for select travel days between November or December and May. Personally, I suggest finding a cheap flight you want now, and figuring out the rest of your vacation details later. That’s exactly what I did with a cheap flight from Newark to Athens in a previous Emirates sale, and now I have the entire trip planned out.

Nothing fazes you. You’re laid back, you go with the flow, and you never let the haters get under your skin. You are chill incarnate. With one of these Coleman Brew tumblers, your drinks can match your energy. The vacuum insulated cup keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold, all without breaking a sweat. Literally. Take your pick from 8 different colors. Best of all, each tumbler has a bottle opener built into the bottom so you can crack open a cold one with your cold one.

Today’s Best Gaming Deals

If you’re looking to catch up on the recently-rebooted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, Walmart’s latest bundle may be the cheapest way to do it. For $249, you can get a 1TB Xbox One S with the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, plus a compilation pack of the original Modern Warfares 1-3.

Advertisement

To sweeten the deal, the console itself comes with a bundled game. The cheapest option comes with NBA 2K19, for the same $249, but you can choose from four other options, each of which add a little to the price. For an extra $29, you can get Battlefield 5,on up to recently-released Gears 5 for an extra $50. Whichever game you pick, you’ll save versus buying all the games and console separately.

Play-Doh Tootie the Unicorn Ice Cream Set | $10 | Amazon

October is over. Christmas Season is already here. If you haven’t started shopping, you’re already behind. At least, that is what retailers want you to think. If you’re looking for the Hot Toy of the season, our beloved Deals Researcher, Corey Foster, says this pooping unicorn is it.

Your kid will think the Play-Doh Tootie the Unicorn Ice Cream Set is the shit. And for $10 on Amazon, I agree. The set comes with three jars of Play-Doh, which can be swirled together to form a lump of beautiful unicorn poop. If you know your kid will be obsessed with this unicorn shit, get them some extra jars of Play-Doh because three will not last them long.

The Logitech G502 was your choice for best gaming mouse (though you don’t need to be a gamer to appreciate its benefits), and the latest model in a special edition colorway is an absolute steal at $38 today.

Advertisement

The marquee spec here is the DPI range up to 16,000, adjustable on the fly. There are also five easily movable and removable weights, and 11 customizable buttons, along with the classic Logitech dual-mode scroll wheel. Mechanical microswitches and a braided cable are also nice touches.

Ramen Fury | $3 | Amazon

Advertisement

Collecting tabletop games can become an expensive hobby. Fortunately, even if you’re living on the ramen diet to get by, you can feed your hunger for gaming with Ramen Fury for a measly $3.

Ramen Fury, from Mixlore, is a card game where you and up to four of your friends try to build the perfect bowl of ramen with all your favorite ingredients. You can even sabotage other players’ bowls by tossing in spicy peppers (hardly a punishment) or steal ingredients. The entire game comes in an entirely on-brand foil package. It’s just like being back in college.

Deals You May Have Missed

Star Wars Storyboards | $20 | Amazon

Star Wars Storyboards is a gift that will send any true Star Wars fan over the moon (or not-a-moon), and it’s down to its best price since last holiday season right now.

The book includes 352 pages of original storyboards and notes from the original trilogy, including never-before-published art from deleted or never-filmed scenes.

Naughty or nice? Jedi or Sith? The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is a wonderful gift. And at $30, it’s never been cheaper.

All 24 toys are meant to be surprises, but we spoiled the hell out of them here, if you want to see exactly what you’re buying.

If you have a Nintendo Switch, today’s a rare chance to grab those rarely-discounted first party games that are missing from your collection. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party, Splatoon 2, and Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee are all in the must-own pantheon for Switch owners, or at worst just a half tier below that.

All of them are marked down to $44 or less on Amazon or Walmart today, which is about as good as it gets on Nintendo’s own games.

Anker SoundCore 2 | $32 | Amazon | Promo code SPKA3105
Photo: Amazon

Advertisement

With its 24 hour battery life, impressive bass, and crystal clear sound quality, the Anker SoundCore has long been our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and its water-resistant successor is down to $32 today with promo code SPKA3105, or $8 less than usual.

Advertisement

The SoundCore 2 still includes dual drivers and that amazing 24 hour battery; the only real differences are a slightly tweaked design and the aforementioned water resistance. That means you can take it to the pool, the beach, or even the shower without fear.

Advertisement

Advertisement

AA batteries are dying an all-too-slow death, but while they’re still a part of your life, you probably want to upgrade to rechargeables. This pack of eight from AmazonBasics is down to $15, and is within $.02 of an all-time low price.

That’s about $4 less than the equivalent Eneloop pack. And if you believe some reviewers, these may actually be rebranded Eneloops themselves. We can’t verify that claim (though like Eneloops, they were produced in Japan and pre-charged with solar energy, which seems really specific to be a coincidence), but whatever their origin, they have great reviews, and a stellar price tag.

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Headphones | $135 | Drop (formerly Massdrop)
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

Advertisement

Burgeoning audiophiles, rejoice. Drop (formerly MassDrop) and Sennheiser combined forces to give you the HD 58X Jubilee Headphones, a $135 pair of open-back headphones, down from the usual $160 (which was a steal to begin with).

Advertisement

By design, these cans produce clear and detailed sound thanks to the open back design. It’s a modified version of the much-loved HD600, which is double the price.

These comfortable, mostly plastic (they had to cut corners somewhere) Sennheisers offer helpful features like detachable cables and adapters for different plug sizes. Better still, this is one of the best values in audiophile-grade headphones today.

Advertisement

Be warned, this type of headphones are designed for home listening—they leak sound, which could disturb those around you, and you hear a lot of the outside world. And these rarely stay in stock for long, get yours before they disappear again.

Note: New Drop customers may be able to save $20 at checkout as well. Be on the lookout for a banner at the top of the page giving you the option.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Butcher Box is marking the occasion by throwing in a free turkey with your first delivery.

Butcher Box’s whole turkeys are 10-14 pounds, preservative free, and have never been given antibiotics or added hormones.

Look, you’re probably not going to wear these any time soon, with the possible exception of a two minute dog walk, but Rivieras makes some of the best summer espadrilles you can buy, and they’re cheaper than we’ve ever seen them before at just $30 per pair.

Seven different styles are available, but our Megan Collins is particularly fond of the red, white, and blue mesh Tour De Mondestyle:

A blend of cotton and mesh, this pair from Rivieras is both breathable (for those really warm days) and comfortable to boot. The navy with red trim lends a stylish, preppy look if you feel like channeling Vampire Weekend.

Anker Zolo Liberty Headphones [Upgraded] | $60 | Amazon | Promo code ZL2001HP

Advertisement

You might have heard a thing or two about some new Apple headphones last week, but they aren’t the only high profile wireless earbuds to get an upgrade recently.

These new and improved Zolo Liberty headphones are sort of a cross between the original Liberties and the now discontinued Liberty+, which we reviewed last year. They keep the design of the original Liberties, and still don’t have app-based EQ settings, but they did steal Bluetooth 5.0 and improved battery life from the more expensive version. In fact, they now claim to run for up to five hours untethered (the same as AirPods), and for up to 40 hours when combined with the charging case (a lot better than AirPods).

Advertisement

True wireless earbuds with Bluetooth 5 and that kind of battery life are no joke at any price, and these ‘buds usually sell for $99. Today though, you can get them for an all-time low $60 with promo code ZL2001HP.

Anker Bolder LC90 2-Cell Flashlight | $28 | Amazon | Promo code KINJALITE

2-Pack Anker LC40 Flashlights | $18 | Amazon | Promo code KINJALITE

Advertisement

With a whopping 900 lumens of brightness, an extended rechargeable battery that lasts up to 13 hours on the medium setting, a zoomable beam, and IP65 dust and water resistance, Anker’s LC90 flashlight is enough flashlight for just about everyone. And with those specs, it’s a steal at $28, down from the usual $36, with promo code KINJALITE.

Advertisement

If you don’t need that sort of military grade brightness, you can also get a 2-pack of the 400 lumen LC40 flashlight for $18, with the same KINJALITE promo code. Just note that they run off of AAA batteries, rather than a built-in rechargeable.

Advertisement

To give you a little context about the brightness here, your smartphone’s flashlight probably puts out about 40-60 lumens. Again, these have 900 and 400, respectively. Don’t look directly at them.

Amazon’s offering a buy-three-get-one-free offer on video games. Here’s what they’re saying, “Add 3 items from the selection on this page to your Shopping Basket via the ‘Add to Basket’. When you’re done shopping, click the ‘Proceed to Checkout’ button.” So, um, I see an “Add to Cart” button, but whatever. (So, isn’t it buy 2 get one free? Ugh.)

It’s a solid deal especially considering there are a lot of recently released titles here, including The Outer Worlds. Unfortunately, it would not let me buy three copies of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.

Cable Matters 4-Rotating Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector | $17 | Amazon | Promo code 15XWFPGL
Graphic: Shep McAllister

You know those outlets behind your couch? Or your dresser? You know, the ones that you don’t use because it would mean having to permanently your furniture several inches away from the wall to avoid putting too much strain on the plug and cord coming out of the outlet?

With this four-outlet surge protector from Cable Matters, you can actually put those outlets to use, without compromising your furniture placement. Four swiveling plugs let your cords run out to the side, rather than straight out from the wall, and a couple of USB ports are onboard as well if you want to use this in an office or nightstand environment.

Normally priced at $20, get it for $17 today with promo code 15XWFPGL.

Amazon Echo Wall Clock | $25 | Amazon

Amazon’s Echo Wall Clock is a revelation for the specific (but I think quite large!) subset of people who:

1) Use Alexa timers in the kitchen with some regularity.

and

2) Don’t have an Echo Show with a screen built in.

Just pop in some batteries, hang the clock, and a ring of LEDs will automatically count down the minutes and final 60 seconds of any timer you set with your voice. It’s elegant, seamless, and I can’t stand how much I love the thing.

Advertisement

It came out late last year for $30, but it just got a rare discount to $25. The clock is ticking on this deal though, so don’t waste any time.

In a very short amount of time, Anker has upended and basically come to dominate the (cool but decidedly niche) portable projector market. It was only a matter of time, but the company is now turning its sights on legitimate, home theater-quality projectors, and preorders just opened.

The new Nebula Cosmos 1080p and Nebula Cosmos Max are fully featured projectors in every sense of the word, featuring sharper, brighter pictures than their portable siblings, while retaining features that made those smaller projectors so appealing, like built-in Android, excellent speakers, and support for screen mirroring.

The Cosmos 1080p spits out 900 ANSI lumens (for comparison, the Nebula Capsule II puts out a surprisingly good picture with 200) and a 1080p picture, while the Cosmos Max ups the brightness to 1500 ANSI lumens and the picture quality to 4K, while adding a couple more Dolby Digital Plus internal speakers. But both support HDR10, 100,000:1 contrast ratios, LED bulbs that are rated to last a whopping 30,000 hours, and built-in streaming service apps (in addition to a couple of HDMI ports) via Android 9.

But the most disruptive aspect of the Cosmos projectors are their price points. The 1080p model starts at just $429 for super earlybird backers on Kickstarter, and the 4K edition starts at $999, both of which drastically undercut the obvious competition. We briefly saw the Max model in action at Anker’s unveiling, and even in a room with a fair amount of ambient light, it looked terrific.

The Kickstarter is live now, and the projectors are expected to start shipping in March.
