Anker’s SoundBuds are our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth headphones, and the newest version just dropped to an all-time low $20.

The SoundBuds Slim are, as you might have gleaned from the name, far smaller than the originals. Heck, they look like a small set of wired earbuds; you might never guess there were batteries and Bluetooth radios in there. Despite the size, these buds are still rated for seven hours of battery life, and recharge fully in just 90 minutes.

Inexpensive Wi-Fi security cameras have been around for awhile, but now, they pan and tilt too.

Today on Amazon, two different cameras are on sale for all-time low prices. Both pan and tilt via free smartphone apps, both include two-way intercom and night vision, and both will send you push notifications when they detect movement, and record to microSD cards. The biggest difference between them is that the ANNKE shoots 1080p, while the less expensive Yi is limited to 720p. You can’t go wrong either way, though.



iClever 10,000mAh Solar Battery Pack, $15 with code ICSOLAR9

$15 is a pretty good price for a 10,000mAh battery pack. It’s absolutely insane for one with a solar panel and 12-LED flashlight array. Obviously, that little solar panel won’t recharge the battery very quickly, but it can trickle charge it while you’re outdoors, so it’s nice to have.


4K monitors might be the new hotness, but QHD (2560×1440) is compatible with more computers, and still offers up enough resolution and screen real estate for just about everyone. This Lenovo model is only $150 today, and while it’s not IPS, it’s the best price we’ve ever seen on a non-refurbished QHD screen.



HooToo Mini Travel Router, $17 with code KINJATM2

We’ve posted travel router deals before, but this is one of the smallest and least expensive we’ve seen to date.

If you aren’t familiar, this little box can take an ethernet connection and turn it into a private wireless network that multiple people can enjoy. You can also use it in bridge mode to re-broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi signal with a password, and even plug in a flash drive and connect your mobile devices wirelessly to swap files. That really comes in handy if you’re on vacation, and your phone is running out of space to store photos.

The downside of a router this small is that it doesn’t have a built-in battery like some others we’ve seen, so you’ll either have to plug it into the wall or a USB battery pack with a microUSB cable.


An SSD is the best upgrade you can give your older computer, and Samsung’s 850 EVO line is the most popular one there is. A worldwide NAND shortage has reversed the previously inexorable downward price trend on these things over the past year or so, but today on Amazon, you can get a 500GB drive for $140, or 1TB for $300, the best prices Amazon’s listed in 2017.

TP-Link AC1200 Range Extender, $34 after $10 coupon

This model from TP-Link has great reviews, and at $34 (after clipping the $10 coupon), it’s never been cheaper.

The resulting coffee concentrate needs to be watered down, so one batch should last you several days.
