We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The latest AirPods Pro are a big step up from the first generation buds. The third (and newest) generation comes with OTA updates that the AirPods Pro 2 also got to enjoy—but considering the second and third generations are the same price right now, why not go with the newer version? If you want the latest Apple has to offer, this is a great time to do so. The AirPods Pro 3 are down to $199 (originally $249.99) for the first time since their September release—the lowest price yet, according to price tracking tools. …

Amazon is apparently not happy being the face of e-commerce, so it’s planning to start wearing other companies’ hats, too. It's currently beta testing a feature in the Amazon app that will show you products Amazon doesn't actually sell; when you click on them while shopping, you'll be invited to leave the app to shop directly from the brand itself. “We’re now testing a new shopping experience in beta where we’ll show select products in our search results even if we don’t sell them in our store,” Amazon wrote in a blog. A gif demonstrating the feature suggests these products will be bunched together under a “Shop brand sites directly” banner, and will show an image and a p…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The Amazon Echo Show 11 arrived in late 2025 as the successor to the Echo Show 10 (3rd Generation), and it now sits at its lowest price since release, according to price trackers. Amazon currently lists the smart display for $169.99 (originally $219.99). The Echo Show line has always been about turning Alexa into something you can see as well as hear, and this version leans heavily into the display. The 11-inch touchscreen runs at 1,920 by 1,200 resolution and measures about 8mm thick, making it thinner and larger than the screen on the Echo Show 10…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. If you’re in the market for a small TV that also doubles as a tablet and home hub, the Amazon Echo Show 21 is an all-in-one smart display with built-in Fire TV, tons of widgets, and other genuinely useful features. A step up in size from the Amazon Echo Show 15, the Amazon Echo Show 21 is rarely on sale, but right now, it’s $50 off on Amazon, dropping to its lowest price ever of $349.99 (originally $399.99), and is a great option for Alexa-powered households.

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. If you just need a tablet for streaming, browsing, and the occasional recipe lookup, the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) is tough to ignore at its current price. It’s down to $79.99 (from $179.99), and according to price trackers, this is the lowest it's ever been. The 32GB version costs $10 less, but spending that extra ten bucks is worth it if you plan to download movies or books for offline use. Whichever version you pick, you can expand the storage by up to 1TB with a microSD card (sold separately), so space won’t be an issue. Also, the battery life of…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. Apple products are expensive for a reason: they're good. But that doesn't mean you have to spend an arm and a leg to get Apple brand stuff. Apple's "Special Edition" (SE) watch models for us mere mortals are more budget-friendly, but they still have competitive features. If you've been eyeing an Apple Watch look no further than the 2nd Generation GPS Apple Watch SE, starting at $169.99 (originally $249) at Walmart. The bigger 44mm size is available for $199 (originally $279). …

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. Each year, Apple releases new models of the Apple Watch, but the updates aren't always that significant—meaning it might make more sense to choose an older one and save on the purchase price. That's certainly a good option right now, because you can get last year's Apple Watch Series 10 with GPS + Cellular for $299, $200 off the original price, at Walmart (in four colors!). Apple Watch Series 10 GPS + Cellular 42mm …

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. If you like the idea of running errands or going for a jog without lugging your phone around, the Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) is down to $249.99 on Woot. That’s a $500 discount on its original $749 price tag, but the deal is only live for two days or until it sells out. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get free standard shipping, while others will have to pay $6 (keep in mind that Woot won’t ship to Alaska, Hawaii, PO boxes, or APO addresses). Now, if you’re wondering why you should care about the cellular version over the regular G…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. If you're looking for an Apple Watch for extreme sports, or you just want the one with the biggest display and battery life, you should focus your sights on the Ultra. Apple packs as many features and perks into this watch as it can, and, as such, it's the best option for people who need to push their wearables to the max. But those advantages come at a cost: The latest Apple Watch Ultra 3 costs $799, making it one of the most expensive watch options the company sells. But you don't need to spend as much on an Apple Watch Ultra as an iPhone 17 in o…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. There might be something shifting within Apple's commerce strategy. Whereas in the past, new models of the company's products rarely went on sale, now some of them are getting respectable discounts shortly after release—including, recently, the M4 MacBook Air and, now, the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Despite being released just this past September, the GPS + Cellular 49mm model is already marked down to $699.99 (originally $799), the lowest price it has yet reached, according to price tracking tools. …

Arc, the much-hyped privacy-forward internet browser, won't be getting any more new features. This fact was announced months ago by its developer, The Browser Company, and clarified yesterday in a blog post in which the venture capital-backed entity that built Arc announced plans to focus on an as yet unreleased AI-based browser instead. For now, Arc will still be getting security updates, most of them inherited from the open-source Chromium project, but it's understandable that some dedicated Arc users may be looking for an alternative, and I know of a good one: the open source Zen Browser, currently in beta. Zen is beautiful in the same way Arc is, with its elegant vert…

Handheld gaming consoles are no longer dominated by Nintendo; PC games entered the handheld industry market with competition from Valve and ASUS. Valve’s Steam Deck was the best budget option available until ASUS released the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 in 2023, which is the budget version of the more powerful ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. During Best Buy's 48-hour Flash Sale, you can actually get the more premium ASUS ROG Ally Extreme for cheaper than the basic Rog Ally.

I love being able to go to the pharmacy for my own (or my kids’) flu shots. Pop in, get the shot, then go about my day. That process has now gotten even easier: Last year, the FDA approved the first flu vaccine that you can administer yourself, or that parents can administer to their children, and it's now available for at-home ordering. I just placed my order. And best of all: It’s a nasal spray, so no needles. How can you get the at-home flu vaccine? The nasal spray vaccine, called FluMist, still needs to be prescribed by a medical provider. But since nearly everyone aged two through 49 is eligible, FluMist’s maker (AstraZeneca) has a telehealth website that bundles the…

If you’re looking for a solid city-commuter e-bike with a surprisingly brawny motor and a stylish look, look no further than the Aventon 500 Pace 3. Aventon has secured its niche within the crowded e-bike market by aiming for the juncture between “high performance” and “beginner friendly,” and the Pace 3 hits that bullseye. It’s casual-friendly and easy to ride, with a no-problem step-through frame and reassuring upright posture, but the hydraulic disc brakes, torque-sensing assist, and powerful motor mean you’re not sacrificing performance for ease of use. Pros and cons of the Aventon Pace 500.3ProsGreat for beginners Torque-sensing drive is intutive Powerful motor Cons…
