Now that we’re at home all the time, slowly losing our minds, it’s crucial, now than ever, that we start taking our vision seriously. I mean, without the right pair of glasses, how are you going to finally binge-watch the entirety of The Sopranos over the next few weeks—without overworking your retinas?

*Premium- and Sale-tagged frames excluded.
TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALs
As a proud new owner of the base model 16″ MacBook Pro—which normally runs about $2,400—I’ve gotta say, I feel duped by this rare discount on Amazon that brings the price down 10% to $2,170. If I’d saved $300 on my MacBook Pro just a few short weeks ago, I could have bought 300 cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at McDonald’s. Or, if I was feeling responsible, I could have put it toward my car payment.
Ah, but alas I did not and so I’m sitting here advising you not to make the same mistake I did. If ever you were thinking of buying the 16″ MacBook Pro, now is the time to grab one. It’s got a six-core i7-9750H processor, 16GB of fast 2,666MHz DDR4 RAM, 512GB of flash storage, and a 4GB AMD Radeon Pro graphics processor built-in. Call it mitochondria because it’s a real powerhouse … for a Mac that is! Graced with force-canceling woofers, the six-speaker sound system is impressive as well.
Although I’ve personally run into constant pinwheeling in Chrome ever since I got the thing, that issue isn’t unique to me or this MacBook specifically. My partner has the same problem on her brand-new 13″ MacBook Pro and I had it on my 2017 version of that laptop before it. Otherwise, it’s been smooth sailing. Test it out for yourself, and remember Amazon has a 30-day return policy if it’s not up to snuff. I, for one, blame Chrome.

At Amazon, you can grab the newest MacBook Air for $100 off, a $900 final total. This model features 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive. This particular model packs an Intel Core i3 processor and comes with Two USB-C ports with support for Thunderbolt and Display port, a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port, and Bluetooth 5.0 with Wi-Fi AC speeds for wireless connectivity.

I don’t know about you guys, but I often forget to plug in my (somewhat ancient) iPhone 8 Plus almost every other night, despite the cord being right on my nightstand. I’m sure there are a couple of folks who do the same thing, and I’m here to tell you we don’t have to suffer anymore. The Anker Powerwave charging pad and charging stand are grouped in one package for $23, no code necessary.
You can charge both iPhones and Androids at a pretty good speed. The best part is that you don’t have to take off your phone case to get a good charge! It can deliver power with cases up to 5mm thick, so don’t worry about your phone mysteriously falling and breaking its back on the cold, hard floor. I’d grab this duo before it is gone!

With Aukey’s 60W USB-C power bank, you don’t have to stranded on Low Battery Island with no way to revive those ever-so-important gadgets. It has 26,800mAh capacity and Power Delivery with enough throughput to charge a MacBook Pro. Normally $80, it has received its first ever discount. It’s just $56 when you use the exclusive promo code KINJAY24.
Listen to your favorite music with a pair of Liberty 2 Headphones from Anker. They’ve dropped in price from $100 to $80, saving you about twenty bucks. They go straight in your ear, connect to any device through Bluetooth, and have about 28 hours of playtime. What are you waiting for? Grab a pair before they’re gone.
It’s 2020 and you deserve to have stellar Wi-Fi. Problem is, if you’re still rocking an old single-point router, your wireless connection may not stretch far enough away to consistently reach every corner of your home.
That’s where a mesh network comes in handy. Rather than have a single router to try and handle the whole home, a mesh network splits the task across multiple smaller nodes that you distribute around your place. That way, you’re never too far away from Wi-Fi. And if you haven’t changed your router in a few years, then the upgrade could be hugely noticeable.
Today only, Amazon is slicing $50 off the regular price of Eero’s well-reviewed 3-piece mesh Wi-Fi setup. And on top of that, you’ll also get a free Amazon Echo Dot—a $50 value—bundled alongside. That’s a total savings of $100, and the Echo Dot can be used to interact with the Wi-Fi network, such as turning off access to certain devices with a single voice command.
If working from home finally pushed you to consider investing in a virtual private network (VPN), have we got a deal for you. ZenMate VPN is currently offering Kinja Deals readers an exclusive bargain: two years of speedy, private VPN service for $42 upfront, which breaks down to just $1.75 per month.
That’s an 82% savings over the month-to-month price, ensuring that you’re covered until this time in 2022. ZenMate VPN routes your connection through an external server to keep you secure and private, plus it can help you access blocked or region-locked content. ZenMate VPN has servers in 74 countries, puts no cap on your bandwidth usage, and keeps no logs of your activity. Don’t wait to get up and running on a VPN!
Another one of Amazon’s crazy combo deals is on tap with an Echo Show 5 that ships with a Blink Mini indoor security camera for $65. This combo is normally $125, and an Echo Show 5 alone typically sits around $60 and the Blink is usually $35, so this is a rare discount for sure.
The Blink Mini offers a 1080p wide angle feed to monitor your home’s most important areas, with motion detection on board to alert you whenever there’s movement about.
You’ll need a subscription if you want to record those moments and save them to the cloud for later viewing, but you currently get service through December 2020 with every purchase, which is more than enough time to decide whether it’s worth the long-term investment.
Named the best smartwatch by our sister site Gizmodo, the Apple Watch Series 5 improved on its predecessor by leaps and bounds. It may sound like a contradiction to say a smartwatch’s battery life was extended at the same time it was treated to an always-on display, and yet the latest Apple Watch pulls off both feats with ease. Over at Amazon, the GPS-only models are $100 off today—no matter which version you pick—so whether you need a 40mm or larger 44mm face; a Space Gray, Gold, or Silver aluminum finish, you’ll be pleased with the savings.
In her review, Victoria Song wrote of the Apple Watch Series 5:
The Apple Watch is hands-down the best smartwatch out there. There, I said it. It’s a boring conclusion that is nevertheless the cold, hard truth. You can prefer a round face, or a different operating system. You can scream about better battery life and third-party watch faces until you die, purple-faced from asphyxiation. The Series 5 still reigns king. That’s true even if this time around, most of the updates are small tweaks rather than game-changers.
If you’ve decided to continue your studies online in today’s world of home-bound productivity, Comcast wants to woo you to Xfinity with a $150 Visa gift card, plus a free six month subscription of Amazon Music (new accounts only) thrown on top.
All you’ll need to do is prove you’re a student, and you’ll get the free money as you select an eligible package and stick with it for at least 90 days. You’ll also get a $50 gift card if you bring your own phone to a plan that includes Xfinity Mobile.
The deal is on through July 1, 2020, so get to it.

TODAY’S BEST GAMING DEALS
Team Ninja seems to have released yet another banger in Nioh 2, the souls-like action RPG that only knows PS4 as its home. If you’ve exhausted your backlog and looking for something new to play, you can pick the special edition up at Amazon right now for $20 off, or a final total of $60.
The special edition comes with a few extra niceties for the few extra dollars they’re requiring, including a steelbook case, an art book, and the season pass that’ll presumably put you in line for all the DLC that release down the road.
Here’s how Heather Alexandra at Kotaku starts off in her long evaluative look at Nioh 2:
The Dark Souls formula is tried and true. It’s been adapted into science fiction settings, placed into 2D, and refined time and time again. 2017’s Nioh is arguably the most successful spin on the genre, adding flashy combat and the turbulent politics of medieval Japan. Nioh 2 is an improvement on every front. There’s no other way of saying it: I’ve never played a game where fighting feels as good as this.
Sold? Buy.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide | $19 | Amazon
If you’re an Animal Crossing fan, you’ve probably been looking forward to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide. This book from Future Press is practically an encyclopedia for the game, but it was delayed for a while (no doubt because of COVID), and then eventually sold out. However, the guide has been back in stock for at least a month, and it’s already discounted to $19!
Unfortunately, it’s not expected to ship until late July-early August at the earliest, but if you’re patient, order now and use that extra $11 in your pocket to stock up on fresh turnips.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a fantastic Star Wars game, and if you haven’t already played it, please take care of that. It’s an order of self-care. But if you have played it and you’re looking for other ways to appreciate the experience, try picking up the official limited edition art book. This hardcover copy is down to $46 at Amazon.
With detailed concept art of all-new characters, exciting weapons and equipment, and locales both familiar and new, this tome offers a behind-the-scenes look at the production of a hit game—all accompanied by intimate artists’ commentary that reveals how this incredible universe is brought together. This limited edition also features a cover and slipcase inspired by ancient Jedi tomes, as well as an exclusive gallery-quality lithograph!
If you’re looking for more modernized retro consoles to add to your collection, this deal on a Neogeo Arcade Stick Pro is right on time. It’s only $99 right now, down from $130.
Unlike most classic consoles, The Neogeo Arcade Stick Pro actually houses all it needs in the controller itself. You have two USB-C ports for connecting controllers from your Neogeo Mini (also discounted to $52 right now), an HDMI out port, and 3.5mm audio to keep the noise down. If that’s not enough, you can use it as a USB controller on both Android and PC.
Enjoying The Last of Us Part II? Consider buying the art book! Releasing Tuesday, Dark Horse’s tome offers all sorts of art and insight into the long-awaited sequel. Right now, the regular version of The Art of the Last of Us Part IIis 30% off, for $28. Given the average price of an art book, this is a good deal, and it’s not likely the discount will stick when it’s released. So lock in the price now!
If you’re more interested in the deluxe version of the artbook, it’s also at a discount, albeit a smaller one. Still, a discount is a discount, so if you’re eyeing either version of The Art of the Last of Us Part II, pre-order it now.
It’s no surprise that there’s another FIFA soccer game coming this year, but FIFA 21 has a load of extra hype around it given that it will be the first series entry to release on the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles.
That’s likely to be nearer to the end of the year, however. FIFA 21 will first release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 9—and if you buy either version, you’ll be able to upgrade to the next-gen version on the same family of systems without paying another cent. You can even transfer your progress between versions.
In short: if you buy FIFA 21 on PS4, you’ll also get it on PS5 when that version comes out. If you buy it on Xbox One, you’ll also have it on Xbox Series X later on. That should take a lot of the apprehension out of fans’ annual upgrade this fall, as you don’t have to wait until you snag one of those surely-pricey new consoles to get your next footie fix.
Pre-order FIFA 21 on PS4, Xbox One, or even Nintendo Switch via Amazon below.

If you’ve been dying to kick Vegeta’s ass as much as I want to, today is a pretty good day to pick up Dragon Ball FighterZ. The physical copy on Nintendo Switch is only $20, a rarity for this 2D brawler.
FighterZ has emerged as a top fighting game in the pro scene after years of the franchise suffering from rushed cash grabs. There are actual skill mechanics now, though newbies can still button mash their way to a win every now and then. Get started now, and you might be able to beat Sonic Fox at next year’s EVO (if he decides not to go Super Saiyan on you with the snap of a finger).
Make your chef dreams a reality with a set of Wüstof Knives. Down to $120, which isn’t the lowest ($110), but it’s pretty damn close. These knives are super sharp and can butcher meat, chop veggies, and everything else. The set comes with a chef knife, utility knife, paring knife, and bread knife, as well as a sharpener and woodblock. Also, it’s GOURMET! I have this same set and I love it. Grab it while it lasts.
Are you always swimming in leftovers and perishable quarantine snacks? If you don’t already have some, a 12-pack of borosilicate glass containers is down to $29 at Meh. You can also pick up a 5-pack for $16. Oven and dishwasher safe, you can store your food in the same vessel you used to cook it, and then clean it all up whenever you’ve reluctantly caved to your cravings.
Today-only at Amazon, eufyCam 2 packages are up to 30% off, including the standard two-camera starter kit that’s down to $225 after a $75 discount. If you already have a HomeBase station, you can add an extra camera for just $90, and a full four-piece setup is cut by $175, or $406 total.
Don’t have a kitchen? Then a portable burner will be your best friend. With them, you can still cook some foods, because a microwave and constant takeout isn’t going to cut it. SUNAVO’s induction burner will definitely get the job done and then some, with its safety features and multiple settings.
Even if you have a fully-functioning kitchen, though, there are other uses for a portable burner! If you have a power supply while camping, this baby can be perfect. Or, if you need to cook or keep something warm on the dining room table, bam. Use the code SNE7CPKC and clip the coupon to get the best discount.
People have a lot of shit to say about segways. But I bet those people don’t need to walk two and a half miles to get to a bus stop, so they can shut their pieholes. If you want or need a segway to get around, Ninebot’s self-balancing segway is down to $416, which is a pretty darn good deal.
This segway has a knee bar, which makes it easier to balance on it. In addition, it’s lightweight, making it easy to carry around when you can’t seg your way around. You can pick one up in black or white, but make sure to grab it before the sale ends!
No kitchen is complete without a killer set of steak knives, and you can’t do much better than Kyoku’s Daimyo series. Made of Japanese Damascus steel, these “ruthlessly sharp” (and sharp-looking) blades are guaranteed for life and have a slightly curved edge to slice through a hearty steak with ease.
Right now, you can add a set of four Kyoku Daimyo steak knives to your arsenal for just $99, which is $29 off the list price. Just clip the coupon on the page and use the Kinja Deals exclusive promo code KYOKUDWK at checkout to secure the savings.
From the company that brought you the Litter-Robot 3 Connect I reviewed last week and the catnip-infused foam wash I reviewed back in March emerges a relatively new subscription service for clay clumping kitty litter. As an exclusive treat to Kinja Deals readers, Litterbox.com is offering up a 20% discount on your first order using the promo code KINJA20. The “catch” is that you have to subscribe to at least the every-4-week plan, as the code isn’t valid for individual one-off orders.
Never again will you be forced to suffer from the putrid smells of a befouled litter box—or Litter-Robot, if that’s your jam. While I’ve not used this particular brand of litter myself, I have tested the $499 Litter-Robot 3 Connect extensively, and at the very least I think you should, too. In fact, this litter is made to pair with the Litter-Robot and vice versa, even if they don’t necessarily have to be purchased in conjunction. Here’s an excerpt from my review, in case you refuse to click links without a sneak preview first:
Apart from the comically high asking price, our friends at the equally dystopically named Automated Pet Care Products have delivered on every front. Though you won’t find it sold at more ubiquitous third-party retailers like Amazon or even Chewy, the Litter-Robot 3 Connect is available at the Litter-Robot website and at Litterbox.com. From the latter, I recommend perusing their whole range of cat supplies, many of which I’ve tested myself, including Porky’s favorite catnip spray, The Fish, mice under the couch, the mat my dog peed on, and SOMUCHMORE.
TODAY’S BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS
If you’re super into rest and relaxation all year long, you may want to consider a cute, tin can candle from Urban Outfitters. They come in 10 scents and you can place a cap on them after you’ve had enough of the feel-good smells, plus they’re only $10. I’d suggest using them in the bath, or, in the hot tub if you have one.
One of Fenty’s most anticipated products is finally here! After having the launch date bumped for all the right reasons we’ve got ten new sheer lipsticks from Rihanna. And if you purchase two they want to gift you a wristlet to put them in.
Sheer lipstick is wonderful because no mirror or compact is needed to know it went on flawlessly. Rhianna selected ten beautiful shades that compliment any skin tone. The nourishing ingredients won’t leave lips dry and ensure shimmer and gloss for hours. They are creamy and buildable which I really like because sometimes I love a matte that I want to add a little pop to. I’m looking at you, Quartz Candy! Each slip shine runs for $22.
No code needed to get the lipstick bag, just add to slip shines to the cart and it’ll work its magic. Free shipping on all orders and the deal will run until these are all gone.
Adidas has something for everyone in its corner of Amazon’s Big Style Sale, but I want to highlight some of these cool bags, such as a dual-compartment drawstring sackpack that’s just $11, or a colorful Santiago lunch bag that helps you celebrate pride in style for $19. Duffel bags come in a range of styles starting at $22, too. To shake things up, ladies can pull off the proud mother style whenever soccer practice resumes with an assortment of Saturday caps starting at $11.
Of course, there are shoes, socks, hoodies, and all sorts of other apparel items on tap, so check out the full selection from Adidas right here.
