TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
We get it: You’re very busy, you have many seasons of many excellent television shows to watch. You don’t have time to shop around for the best TV deals.
You just want something big that can stream your shows with ease? This Westinghouse 42-inch Full HD tv will get the job done for a super reasonable $170 right now at Best Buy.
This Roku TV can hook up to all of your favorite streaming apps right out of the box, and you can even use your phone as a remote with it— since you already have that device on you 24/7 anyway.
This is Best Buy’s featured Deal of the Day, which means it is not likely to be here tomorrow. Jump on it while it’s still good!
You’re sick of wasting time looking for your keys, your wallet, the TV remote, your cat— I get it. Track whatever it is you keep losing sight of with a 4-pack of these Nutale Findthing trackers for 31% off today!
You can snag this set of Nutale Findthing trackers for just $28 when you apply coupon code 31M8SE38 at checkout. These Bluetooth trackers allow you to find items using the associated app or the alarm function.
What’s nice about these trackers, too, is you can replace the long-lasting batteries yourself when needed, unlike some other trackers which you have to replace completely.
Jump on this deal while it’s still good and reclaim your lost time searching for things!
This deal was originally published by Elizabeth Lanier on 2/28/21 and was updated with new information on 3/13/21.
Things are starting to look up. More and more people are getting vaccinated. It’s warm enough outside for us to safely meet friends (while masked, of course). There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel!
If this hopeful shift has you venturing outside more, you may be surprised to remember the need for a backup charge for your mobile devices once you’re no longer at home all day and just three feet from the nearest outlet. Be prepared with this 2-pack of Mophie PowerStation power banks for just $14 over at Meh right now!
You can get your set of portable chargers in either millennial pink or in indigo.
If you want one of each color, you’ll just have to find a use for four power banks I guess. Good thing these make great gifts!
If you like the deals at Meh, consider joining their monthly membership program. For $5 a month, you get unlimited free shipping at not only Meh, but also at SideDeal, Mediocritee, and MorningSave.
I’ve tested Mpow products in the past and was always pleasantly surprised at the value to price ratio. They’re quality without breaking the bank. A real treat from the company is their M30 Earbuds. They’re just $20 when you clip the coupon and use the code RTWHPT4P. This discount will appear once you start the checkout process. This code expires Sunday, and it only works on the black color.
$20 is a great price for an extra set of earbuds. If you’re running errands or just running and you don’t want to take your most expensive buds on the go, these are for you. Quick to pair and easy to bounce between tunes and calls. The M30’s are noise-canceling, so ideal for travel, and just because they are small and fit snuggly doesn’t mean there’s no power in them. Little buds, big bass. They’re sweat-proof, so sport it up and fear not about ruining them. You’ll get about 5 hours off of one charge but 25 hours with the charging case. The only blip is if you’re an Android user, you have to adjust the volume on your phone to “maximum” first to get the highest volume out of these. Other than that, it’s a solid audio device at a solid price.
Free shipping on this item for Prime members. This deal will expire on March 14.
Apple Watch SE (44mm) | $289 | Amazon
The Apple Watch SE is a pretty nifty watch. At 30% less than the latest Series 6 model, you can now get an Apple Watch with speedy guts and most of the features without paying the premium. Today, you can get the 40mm model for $20 off, bringing the price down to $259, and the 44mm model is similarly marked down to $289. Multiple color options are available, so check the listings at Amazon to see what’s still in stock.
Those prices only count if you go for the Sport Band, although there are other configurations that let you save as much as $30 off, including the 44mm Apple Watch SE with standalone LTE support and the fabric Sport Loop for $329.
If you’ve had your eye on the Beats Solo Pro headphones and don’t mind a shade of blue, today is your lucky day. The full retail on these babies is $300, but Woot is currently offering them for just $150 in light blue or dark blue right now. Woot has free shipping for Amazon Prime subscribers, too.
Of course, these have all hovered a good chunk lower than full retail for a while now, but this is still $60-70 less than we have often seen ‘em in stock in recent months, and $10 cheaper than the previous low we saw last week. Now is your chance to listen to your music and podcasts in style and with active noise canceling for a better price—don’t miss it!
13″ MacBook Pro (M1, 512GB) | $1,350 | Amazon
For a first-gen Apple product, the new MacBooks featuring the company’s own custom chipset reviewed surprisingly well, even from our friends at Gizmodo. And now, the M1-equipped 13″ MacBook Pro is discounted $150 for the 512GB SSD model at Amazon, with the full savings shown at checkout. Meanwhile, the 256GB base model sees a stellar $99 drop, as well.
Here’s what Gizmodo’s Joanna Nelius had to say in her review of the powerful new MacBook Pro:
I do all my work and play on PC, but Apple’s M1 processor has me wondering if I really need a Windows PC for my next laptop. This is the first time in all my years of computing—ever since my dad sat me in front of a keyboard as a toddler—that I’ve ever considered getting a Mac.
Apple Watch Series 6 (Wi-Fi + LTE) | $430+ | Amazon
Apple Watch Series 6 – Stainless Steel (Wi-Fi + LTE) | $719 | Amazon
The Apple Watch Series 6 rolled out last fall with enhancements over the previous edition, including a blood oxygen sensor to join the ECG test and other health smarts. We saw some pretty compelling discounts during the holiday season, but not so much since, sadly.
Luckily, if you’ve been waiting for a bargain on a new Apple Watch, you might find it amidst the listings at Amazon right now. Amazon is currently offering as much as $80 off an Apple Watch Series 6 depending on configuration, although the larger savings come with the pricier, more luxurious versions.
At the entry level, the 40mm Series 6 Wi-Fi edition is $374 ($25 off) in certain colors, while the 44mm edition goes as low as $380 ($49) off. Want a version with LTE functionality so you can stay connected without your phone in range? The LTE edition is as low as $430 ($69 off) in 40mm and $474 ($55 off) in 44mm, depending on color choice.
Meanwhile, the fancier Stainless Steel LTE model with a Milanese Loop sees the $80 discount 44mm ($719). Whether you’re most interested in the health features, notifications, style customization, or a little bit of everything, now’s the time to strike.
Calling all workout fiends! Take $11 off these new wireless earbuds from TrebLab until March 15 and get stereo quality sounds no matter where you are.
These X3 Bluetooth earbuds are built for comfort with expandable silicone tips (three sets for size) that reduced noise and keep things crisp. You’ll get up to forty-five hours of listening pleasure off of a full charge, and it usually takes around an hour to refill the charging case fully. The charging case will get you an additional nine hours of tunes. Pairs quick and easy with your phone via Bluetooth 5.0 tech. The built-in microphone allows for hands-free calls no matter where you are, and their noise-canceling feature ensures you’ll never miss a word or lyric. These fit snuggly in the ear and are ideal for jogs and gym time.
Are you the friend constantly asking if anyone has a charger? Or pre-pandemic, were you asking bartenders if you could plug your phone in somewhere? The second option is probably not on the table now, so what better way to solve the problem than by grabbing this Aukey Wireless Power Bank. The 10,000mAh capacity version is just $27 when you clip the coupon on the page and use the code FJO8VLJH at checkout.
I’ve had Aukey products before and really like them. I personally like to have a portable charger with me at all times. I’m not too fond of seeing the battery level go to red, not knowing where or when I can charge it next. This power bank shines with its foldable stand, which allows for hands-free phone viewing while it charges, which it can do cable-free thanks to the built-in Qi wireless functionality. But you can also plug in devices via the USB-A and USB-C ports.
This will ship for free for Prime members.
In his roundup of the best VPNs at Gizmodo, Andrew Couts called NordVPN “fast and easy to use,” citing accessibility and affordability as reasons to subscribe. Though it’s almost always marked down from its $287 list price, the 2-year plan is nonetheless the cheapest option to get started with the service and continue using it long-term. For a limited time only, though, it’s not only 68% off, bringing your total to just $89 for 730 days, but it also comes with an extra 1-month, 1-year, or 2-year plan, randomly applied by the Nordic gods at checkout, through the end of February.
Couts says in his abbreviated review:
No matter what you pay, you’ll get access to more than 5,400 servers in more than 60 countries, a bunch of features you may or may not want, and, because the company is based in Panama, assurances that your data—or lack of data, as the case may be—is outside of U.S. and European jurisdictions. Like every other VPN on this list, NordVPN claims to have a “strict no-logs policy,” so most of your data isn’t collected, the company says. It does still collect your email address, payment information, and the timestamp of the last time you launched the VPN.
But NordVPN isn’t without its downsides. “…some researchers have found that it sends your email address and Google Ad ID to a marketing company when you register through the Android app and contains some trackers,” Couts explained. “Another downside is that some of NordVPN’s servers are rented, which means another company you need to trust is in the mix. And yes, one of those servers got hacked in 2018.”
Still, if you want one of the most reliable VPN clients, with the budget to support its robust infrastructure, you can’t go wrong with NordVPN. Plus, with availability on virtually every platform imaginable—from macOS to Android TV—this private networking tool is equal parts ubiquitous and acclaimed. Endorsed by PCMag, Wired, CNET, Business Insider, and more, it may be time to board the Nord train if you’re somehow unwedded to a VPN already.
The Oculus Quest is the best VR headset for the vast majority of people, offering a fully self-contained, wireless experience with solid performance and great games and apps, all for an affordable price. It’s really that simple—and shockingly good for the price tag.
Right now, you can snag the original Quest model refurbished direct from Oculus for just $199, which is half-off the original new price. That gets you the headset itself and the Oculus Touch motion controllers, all cleaned and tested to act like new. This is a fantastic deal if you’re looking to dabble in VR, and again, you don’t need to hook it up to a gaming PC or console or even slot in a smartphone. It’s like a portable game console, albeit one you strap to your head.
Note that the Oculus Quest 2 came out last fall at $299, and it brings both enhancements and a couple of compromises. It’s cheaper and lighter than the original, and benefits from the tandem of better screens and improved performance. The downside, however, is that the new straps aren’t nearly as good at keeping the headset in place and the less-precise IPD (interpupillary distance) settings might result in lower-quality experiences for some users.
Overall, the Quest 2 is a worthwhile upgrade for most prospective buyers—but at half-price, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend buying a refurbished Oculus Quest while supplies last.
The 12.9” iPad Pro provides a lavish landscape for both consumption and creation, whether you use that huge, beautiful screen to watch videos and play games or perhaps sketch or lay down some beats. The 120Hz ProMotion display delivers smooth animations, plus this Pro model has Face ID, a LiDAR scanner, and compatibility with the Apple Pencil and the laptop-esque Magic Keyboard attachment.
Right now, you can save $50 on the base 128GB model and $100 off the 256GB and 1TB models from Amazon, while the 512GB edition sees an even larger $150 discount. Discounts vary on the Wi-Fi + Cellular models, with the 1TB model also seeing a $150 discount, and the Magic Keyboard is $99 off right now (full savings shown at checkout).
TODAY’S BEST GAMING DEALS
If you’re looking to treat yourself to a new gaming chair, this AutoFull pink gaming chair is an adorable and deal-worthy price at $254— and yes, that includes the rabbit ears, don’t worry.
Not pictured: The floofy little bunny tail on the back of the chair (but we promise it’s there).
If you are looking for ergonomics, this chair boasts a lumbar support cushion and it also has fuzzy armrests—which counts for something, right? Get it at Newegg while it’s 15% off and you’ll also receive a $10 digital gift card for a limited time.
Way back in the day, the original Animal Crossing for GameCube was so big that it came with its own memory card. My precious little 59 slot card had a picture of Rover on it and could not have anything other than Animal Crossing on it. I was just hit with that childhood memory seeing this Switch compatible 512GB SanDisk microSD card, branded to match New Horizons’ chill aesthetic. It comes in that cool, light green color and features the same leaf icon that’s found on Tom Nook’s vacation-dad button down. Other than looking extremely cute, it’s actually a pretty practical deal. The card, which is down to $100 on Amazon today, is perfect for Switch owners who buy a lot of games. A 512GB card can hold much more than just Animal Crossing, so you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this precious storage device.
At this point, you’ve hopefully had a chance to try out the Outridersdemo. The third-person shooter is a new joint by People Can Fly and it features some fun ability-based gameplay. The full game is coming on April 1 (no joke), so you won’t have to wait very long to get back into it. If you liked what you played, you can pre-order the game from Newegg today and save a little cash. The retailer has the Day One Edition down to $50 if you use the code EMCETHS38 at checkout. This only works for the Xbox version of the game, so PlayStation and PC players will have to wait for their day. Remember that your progress from the demo will carry over to the full game, so you won’t have to do all that plot setup again. I hope you chose the right character class.
Monster Hunter Rise is just around the corner. The latest in Capcom’s monster-slashing RPG series is coming at the end of the month, so you only have a few weeks to sharpen your skills. If you’re looking to revisit some older entries in the series before then or just want to know if you’d like the Monster Hunter games, here’s a deal for you: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is $25 at Amazon. This Switch game is a great introduction to the game’s massive scale, hunting mechanics, co-op multiplayer, and more. Considering that Rise is likely going to make waves among series faithful, this is a cheap way to learn what the fuss is all about.
There are plenty of arcade sticks out there built for hardcore fighting fans, but how many of them have games installed on them? The NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro is a wonderful little contraption that’s both a standalone controller and a sort of NeoGeo Classic. It comes with 20 SNK fighting games, including six entries in the King of Fighters franchise. That’s a nice little gimmick as is, but the fact that this is actually a fully functional fight stick that works with PC and Android devices rules. Take a look at that shiny red joystick and eight face buttons! That’s a cute little arcade stick right there! If you’re interested in grabbing one, it’s currently $101 over at Amazon today.
It’s been quite a while since the last BioShock game came out. BioShock Infinite came out seven years ago and everyone wants to know where the series will go next. We went underwater. We flew up to the sky. What’s next? Prey is already BioShock in space. Maybe we could go to the center of the Earth, like the movie The Core.
While you all think on that million-dollar idea, BioShock: The Collection is just $20 on Nintendo Switch over at Amazon. The package features BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite, so you can revisit all of your favorite philosophical questions and decide if they’re very outdated now. You can also grab a digital download of Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite for $10 each if you’re just looking to play one of those. or Would you kindly grab a copy?
Hitman 3Deluxe Edition (Xbox Digital) | $46 | Eneba | Use code HITMONPLS
If you haven’t jumped on the Hitman 3bandwagon yet, you might want to. Critics and fans alike praised the stealth action game, calling it a perfect capper to the World of Assassination trilogy that features some of the series’ best murder playgrounds yet. If that’s enough to convince you to pick up a copy, Eneba currently has the Xbox version down to $30 with the code HITMONPLS, which might be a new low. The deluxe edition is also discounted to $46 with that same code. The weirdness with cross-progression with previous games on PC due Epic Games Store exclusivity seems to be over, but the console version might still be the way to go here if you’re worried something like that will happen again.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising (PS5) | $25 | Amazon
Immortals: Fenyx Rising (Xbox ) | $25 | Amazon
Immortals: Fenyx Rising (Switch) | $25 | Amazon
Ubisoft is known to drastically slash the price on games. Just look at WatchDogs: Legion, Just Dance 2021, and even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Here’s yet another example of that in action. You can now grab Immortals: Fenyx Rising for $25 on Xbox, PS5, and Switch at Amazon. Meanwhile, the PS4 version is $30. This is one of the lowest prices the game has gotten yet. Ubisoft’s latest open world game looks like it takes many cues from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with free climbing, gliding, and rune-like abilities that can be used to solve puzzle shrines. Except it’s about Gods. If that sounds up your alley, you can grab the PS4, Xbox, and Switch versions at a discount now.
If PC gaming is life, you should check out the Aukey 45″ RGB gaming desk. It’s down to $125 when you enter the code NC2RORZR at checkout, which is a significant drop from its $180 usual price. It’s a T-shaped desk with a cup holder, hooks to place headphones, and lights on either side so it can light up at night. Well. What are you waiting for? Grab this bad boy, now. I know you want to!
For fighting game aficionados, a fightpad is a must. These peripherals trade in your standard controller design some something closer to an arcade experience. That usually means more face buttons for players to slam down on. If you’ve been thinking about making the jump to a fightpad, but are but off by how big they can be, this might be an option for you: the Razer Raion is down to $60 at Amazon. This PS4 and PS5 compatible controller mimics the design of a PlayStation controller, but morphs it into a fightpad. You’ve got six slightly larger face buttons with Razer mechanical switches. It trades in a joystick for an eight way D-pad, allowing for precise combo execution. It even has a “competition mode” that’ll let you disable buttons you don’t need. All in all, it’s a very modern spin on the fightpad concept, which is about what you’d expect from Razer who thrive on cool peripheral ideas like this.
We haven’t really seen any discounts on PlayStation 5 accessories since the console launched. Everything has been in such high demand that it didn’t really make sense to lower prices. Luckily, one of the first shots in the price cut war has been fired. Woot has the DualSense controller for $60, which is $10 off its original price. Considering that players are already reporting that their controllers have slight drift after a few months, you might be needing one soon. or perhaps you just want a second one to play Tony Hawk in split screen. Whatever the reason, this is the cheapest we’ve seen it yet and Amazon Prime members even get free shipping. We don’t expect this to be the norm, so act fast!
LEGO Architecture Tokyo | $48 | Amazon
LEGO Architecture San Francisco | $40 | Amazon
All LEGO sets can be fantastic projects for all ages, but the LEGO Architecture sets hold special appeal for some adults, letting you build real-life sights and favorite destinations and end up with a classy-looking result to place on your shelf or desk.
We don’t usually see a lot of discounts on these sets, but right now Amazon has a trio of ‘em at 20% off the list price. That means the 740-piece Dubai skyline set is $48, the 547-piece Tokyo skyline is also $48, and the 565-piece San Francisco skyline set is just $40.
Looking for more options? There are a couple other LEGO Architecture sets at lesser discounts, too. The huge 1,685-piece LEGO Statue of Liberty is $100 ($20 off), while the 1,197-piece LEGO Trafalgar Square is $71 ($9 off).
