TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
Losing your things frequently? With a Tile Pro, down to $40 at Amazon, you’ll have a layer of protection and reprieve that’ll save you some panic. Just press the button twice to find your phone, or use the phone to find whatever the Tile is attached to, like your keys, your wallet, or maybe even that leftover lasagna that keeps disappearing from your fridge (but we can’t guarantee your perp won’t be smart enough to take it off before they stuff their face).
Compared to the original, the Tile Pro has better battery life (with user-removable cells) and increased Bluetooth range of 300 feet.
Looking for faster, more reliable portable storage? ADATA has something you’ll like. For $100, you’re getting 1TB of flash-based storage that transfers over any USB connection up to USB 3.1. ADATA’s name doesn’t carry the same weight as someone like Western Digital or Samsung, but it’s no noob to the storage wars, and it’s pretty hard to mess up SSD tech. You can buy one at Amazon right here.
The way 2020 has gone so far, it’s only a matter of time before we’re living in a real world Walking Dead scenario. Prepare now with a set of five two-way dual band walkie talkie radios, plus the earpieces and a programming cable, for $95. Use code 5PCSUV5R for the discount, and you can thank me later (preferably with an I.O.U. to not eat my brains if you end up turning).
HP is slashing $260 off the starting list price of its modest 15t model laptop right now. This Windows 10 PC comes with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5 in the base config, along with a 256GB SSD and 12GB RAM. The one big downside is a sub-1080p 15.6” screen, although you can pay a bit extra to bump that up to Full HD.
You can add a beautiful 4K HDR TV to your home right now for less. Amazon has Vizio’s 55″ M-Series Quantum (M558-G1) model for $130 off the list price.
This Dolby Vision HDR set has 90 local dimming zones to boost its HDR capabilities, along with 600 nits of brightness and Quantum color. Vizio’s M-Series sets are among our best picks in the budget 4K category, and they just get closer and closer to matching pricier alternatives.
If you need a wireless speaker to toss out in the backyard or keep by the pool or even in the kitchen this is the deal for you. With an 89% discount, the iJoy Eclipse wireless speakers are what you’ve been searching for. That’s two speakers for $7!
These portable speakers come in white or black, have around four hours of battery life, and even come with a carrying case. iJoy has had some extremely top quality products in the past so these cute compact speakers should be no different. They connect easily to whatever you want to pair them with and have a Bluetooth range of twenty feet. This sale runs for the next fifteen hours or until they are sold out. We think they are going to sell out so move quickly if you want them.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on SideDeal before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
SSDs are to PCs what Red Bull is (allegedly) to humans. While we can’t exactly guarantee wings will sprout from your PC after installing one, we do know it’ll be one of the single biggest things you can do to improve system performance, and especially with this deal on a 480GB Kingston model, one of the cheapest. You can grab one for $54 after a 15% discount.
Mind you, this is a 2.5″ SATA 3 model, which isn’t the newest available tech, but you’ll see remarkable improvements all the same if you’re coming from mechanical.
AOMAIS doesn’t have a ton of brand power, but it does have significant experience and a knack for an interesting design. Its Bluetooth speakers are up to 36% off at Amazon in today’s Gold Box deals. Whether it’s the toolbox-looking AOMAIS GO ($50) with its 40-hour playtime or the elegant imitation bamboo on the AOMAIS Life ($48), you’ll find a nice change of pace visually compared to typical speakers, and judging by reviews, they more than hold their own functionally.
I love Marshall. Every product I’ve had from them becomes my favorite and these Minor II in-ear headphones are at the top. Amazon is currently discounting these by 46% which is an amazing deal on a quality product. These are usually $129 but worth every penny.
I run with these almost every day and can vouch that they not only stay in place but have a great sound and block out a lot of excess noise. I love how compact these are. They’re easy to toss in your bag or even pocket. I’ve even fallen asleep with these, that’s how comfortable they are. They charge quickly, pair with anything, and the mic is clear for phone calls or even recording a podcast (which I do weekly). I can’t recommend these enough.
Free shipping if you are a Prime member and ready to be sent out now.
With the sounds of the little ones trotting across the house or your partner sitting through another conference call, it can be tough to stay focused on work in your new home office. With the right speaker and a good tune, you can give yourself a better environment to work in, Griffin’s Survivor might seem like overkill, given that it also doubles as a power bank to charge your devices, and that it’s waterproof, but it’s a tough deal to pass up right now. It’s down to $40 on SideDeal right now, a savings of $110, which you can put towards a second one since you can pair them together, or maybe put it towards something else to spruce up your home office. Or, just hang onto it, times are tough.
Health tracking isn’t a necessity, but if it’s something you’re interested in, having a smart scale can make tracking your weight a bit less of a chore. The Eufy Smart Scale is available today in a bundle with the Eufy Smart Plug Mini, for just $50, giving you a cheap entry into the world of health tracking gizmos. This one’s not just good for weight tracking, though; it can also track body fat percentage (But honestly you shouldn’t worry about this too much), or body water, though accuracy may vary. Whatever you choose to track, it’ll sync all your data to Google Health or Apple HealthKit, depending on your chosen platform, and you can start getting a more comprehensive look at your routine.
If you’ve been hesitant to grab an iPad Pro lately, but still want to give it a shot as a new workstation or just a place to do some sketches, now’s a good time to pick one up. The 2018 12.9-inch, WiFi-only iPad Pro with 256 GB of storage is down to $900 today at B&H Photo, saving you $250. Put that towards a Smart Keyboard Folio, or maybe a Magic Keyboard, if you’re so inclined.
While there’s a newer model available, it’s mostly a marginal upgrade from this model, including an additional camera lens and a LIDAR sensor, as well as a slightly upgraded processor. At such a steep discount, though, you won’t be missing much from the new model.
Anker’s Roav brand, the manufacturer which makes some popular dashcams for your car, also makes some seriously smart car chargers. This one’s only $25 today, down from the $30 listing price, using the coupon code KINJART224.
The SmartCharge T2 is an FM transmitter that takes the Bluetooth signal from your phone, and rebroadcasts it the FM radio station of your choice, giving you truly wireless audio and handsfree calls in older vehicles that don’t have Bluetooth or even an AUX jack built in. And since this is an Anker brand, you also get two high speed USB charging ports, and one’s USB-C, so leave the adapter cable at home.
Maybe right now isn’t the best time to be heading out on Instagram-worthy adventures, but hopefully, we’ll be able to venture out a bit soon. Once we do, you’ll want to be ready to capture those outdoor moments. Normally $500, DJI’s OSMO Action Camera is down to $288 today, making it a tough-to-beat bargain for what’s known as a pretty great mobile camera.
You’ll be able to shoot plenty of 4K videos, too, since it comes with a 128 GB SD card, and its front display will make shooting selfies approximately a hundred times easier than without it.
Today for Amazon’s Gold Box, Anker is slashing prices on all sorts of chargers and cables. Highlights include a 4-port 65W USB-C charger for $39, a PowerWave wireless charging stand down to $35, USB-C power strips, an 18W PD power bank for $40, and a duo of USB-C to Lightning cables for $30. Take your pick after reviewing the full selection over at Amazon.
Google Pixel 3a XL | $320 | Amazon
Amazon has the lowest prices we’ve seen yet on the Pixel 3a family, which are affordable versions of Google’s flagship smartphone lineup. The base Pixel 3a with 64GB of storage is normally $400, but with today’s sale, it’s sitting at an incredibly low $279. It packs a 5.6-inch display If you need something bigger, the Pixel 3a XL (also 64GB) stretches the matter to six inches for $319, down from its usual $479.
These Pixel smartphones don’t have the biggest bark—they’re outfitted with Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 670 and 4GB of RAM for performance—but they do have quick access to the latest versions of a well-oiled Android, good battery life, and excellent low light performance thanks to a 12MP Night Sight camera.
After 23 hours in Final Fantasy VII Remake—or Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 1 I should say—I still haven’t reached the end credits. That’s because unlike the original, Final Fantasy VII Remake is brimming with side quests, extended cutscenes, dart throwing, and at one point even a dance-off. Final Fantasy VII Deluxe Edition, which includes the full game, a Steelbook case, a hardback art book, and a “mini soundtrack” CD, is $6 off on Amazon, a modest yet competitive discount to an already worthy purchase.
Let me tell you, to have extended the first five hours of a two-decade-old game into almost 30 is a feat. To have done it well is just short of a miracle. No matter what the haters tell you, Final Fantasy VII Remake is good actually. Get to the end of chapter 9 and tell me I’m wrong. While it’s fair to say those who never played the original won’t understand some of the plot gaps, neither will those who never played a PSP game from 2008 that was never re-released.
Go in with an open mind and you’ll enjoy it for what it is: a gorgeous modern rendition of an influential JRPG that, while incomplete, is a hell of a lot of fun to play. Now, Tifa > Aerith thank you very much.
Haven’t played Red Dead Redemption 2 yet? It’s a couple of years old by now, and still one of the most impressive games this current generation (and probably a bit of the next one) has to offer. CDKeys has it for $36, matching recent similar discounts at the Epic Games Store. The only catch is you’ll need to use Rockstar’s launcher to activate it.
Having played this game more hours than I care to count, I can attest first-hand that this game cures any insatiable appetite you have to hop on a horse and live out your wild west cowboy dreams. You take control of Arthur Morgan—the laid back outlaw with a southern drawl thicker than the shit your steeds seem to excrete on a minute-by-minute basis—as he and the gang flee from those looking for persecution and violent profit.
You can also gather, fish, hunt, and partake in all other manners of survival activity. Maulings are optional (unless you’re like me and can’t see a half-ton bear charging you from a mile way).
Since its projected renaissance in the early 2010s, VR gaming has remained niche. Save for a few exceptions (see: Beat Saber), you wouldn’t be mistaken to think the prohibitive costs of the headsets themselves might have something to do with their sluggish adoption compared to traditional consoles. Sony’s PlayStation VR headset, then, is something of an outlier considering it sold over 5 million units over the course of three years.
Although it’s still by and large the best selling VR headset on the market, PlayStation VR has undergone sizable price cuts, the latest of which brings its “Starter Pack” launch bundle down to $206. Hence the name, you’ll have everything you need to immerse yourself in full 3D worlds out of the box: a PlayStation VR headset, PlayStation camera, and a copy of PlayStation VR Worlds, a proof-of-concept tech demo compilation that takes you through space, the ocean, and most terrifying of all, London.
The next major release for PlayStation VR is Marvel’s Iron Man VR, set to launch on July 3. You can shop the whole catalog of PS VR games and accessories over at Amazon before making your decision. Don’t take too much time, though, as the price could bounce back to its formative $246 tag before long.
After some obfuscated messaging around COVID-19 delays back in March, the TurboGrafx-16 mini is now up for grabs on Amazon, assuming you have $100 to spend. Complete with 50 full-fledged seminal classics, the retro gaming console follows the NES and SNES Classic as well as the more evergreen Sega Genesis Mini and PlayStation Classic as yet another throwback system that’ll let you relive the good ol’ days in quarantine (or live through them the first time if you’re under a certain age).
Included in the package, you’ll find the console, a single controller, and an assorted mix of big ticket American TurboGrafx-16 and Japanese PC Engine games like Ys: Book I and II, Dracula X (Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood) Military Madness, Bonk’s Revenge, and more. Although you won’t find a power adapter in the box unless you shell out for the currently sold-out $120 bundle, you can swap in just about any old USB AC plug in its stead. Alternatively, you can upgrade your existing TurboGrafx-16 using this HDMI accessory.
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini was announced last June as the PC Engine Mini in Japan and PC Engine Core Grafx in Europe. The US version has two USB ports and supports a five-way multiplayer adapter. A second controller was available from Hori, but like the power adapter it too is sold out on Amazon. It was originally slated to release over two months ago, on March 19, before its manufacturing and shipping facilities in China were faced with an “unavoidable suspension” due to the widespread outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
We’re only two days away from the launch of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitve Edition on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re excited to return to this real-time action RPG in remastered fidelity, you should pre-order it at Amazon, which is knocking $10 off the price ahead of release date.
Discover the origins of Shulk as he and his companions clash against a seemingly-unstoppable mechanical menace. Wield a future-seeing blade, chain together attacks, and carefully position your party members in strategic, real-time combat as you journey across a massive world.
You’ve never seen the game like this before—not on the original Wii, and most certainly not on the much weaker 3DS. The muddy textures are gone, the menus are ten times better and easier to navigate, and it’s just more definitive, yo. Pre-order your copy today if you haven’t already played it to death years prior.
Big Tony Stark fan? Now you can add the Iron Man Hall of Armor to your LEGO Avengers setup for $12 off of the list price.
It comes with four different Iron Man suits, including a swappable Stark head, plus two enemy Outriders and a big robotic Igor Suit that you can put Tony Stark into. This 524-piece set is 20% off.
Wake the fuck up, samurai. Todd McFarlane’s Keanu Reeves (AKA Johnny Silverhhand) figurine is here and it’s already 20% off on Amazon. Pick it up while supplies last, and don’t forget to pre-order Cyberpunk 2077, now discounted to $45 on CDKeys. Revealed at E3 2019, Reeves is making his motion-captured video game debut in the upcoming dystopian sci-fi RPG from The Witcher series developer CD Projekt.
Loosely based on the character of the same name in the tabletop role-playing game Cyberpunk 2020, the Johnny Silverhand character Reeves will be playing belongs to the Rockerboy class, described in the game’s canon as “the street poets, social consciences and rebels of the 2000s.” If this sounds dumb to you, that’s because it is, and you should be excited for that reason. Cyberpunk 2077 will release later this year on September 17.
With hot games like Cyberpunk 2077 coming up, it might be a good idea to stock up on some discounted Xbox Gift Cards. Dell has them 10% off. The more you buy, the more you save. The biggest value you can get is $10 off a $100 gift card for $90 total. A $90 card is $81, $75 comes down to $67, $60 gift cards are $54, and you can save $5 when you buy $50 worth. Just use promo code GAME10.
Xbox gift cards are usable across Xbox One and Windows 10, and they can be used on anything available in the digital store, including games, movies, TV shows, music, and apps.
You’ve bankrupted your last three Monopoly games, and you utterly embarassed yourself the last time you played truth-or-dare. Let’s try something different: SideDeal has four table top games for one low cost of $69.
You’ll get miniaturized versions of pool, foosball, skeeball, and air hockey. All that’s left to buy are shot glasses for the inevitable drinking games you’ll come up with. Add better health insurance while you’re at it. You know … just in case you’re bad at those, too.
I’m lucky to have a sizable back yard where I live because it’s in an area where real estate is coveted. I have a firepit and can actually do this IRL but even I think this electric s’more maker is so cute and retro. It’s currently on sale at Amazon for $20.
This tabletop electric flameless heater brings those nostalgic memories of nights by the campfire indoors. The electric s’more maker is a no-hassle experience but just as delicious. Only needing an electrical outlet keeps it a lot safer if you have little ones. It comes with four stainless steel roasting forks and has easy to remove trays so cleaning is simple. And you can use it anytime you want because the weather is always perfect for it.
Free shipping for Prime members.
For the rest of May, Kenneth Cole is giving you an additional 25% off some already discounted pieces in their home styles section. This will bring most of the items savings over 50% off the original price. Use the code KCHOME25 at check out.
This includes duvet sets, sheets, blankets, pillows, and towel sets. Everything in this collection is classic and neutral which makes it easy to mix and match with whatever you already have. All traditional American styles just like each of the lines in the company.
Deal runs until May 31. Free shipping on all orders over $75.
For many, Memorial Day was the first big BBQ day of the season, but you know it doesn’t stop there. The 4th of July will be even bigger, and all that char from the burgers you burnt won’t clean itself. You don’t have to scrub your arm off for the job, though. Just pick up a Grilltastic steam cleaner for $39 at MorningSave, which excretes steam over a sturdy stainless steel bristle to exile all the grease and grime from your life.
Water flossers are designed to reach places toothbrush just can’t go. They provide what is called a ’complete clean,’ helping with dental plaque and hypersensitivity. Today you can get Belmint’s water flosser for 45% less than amazon.
This Belmint water flosser was developed by dental care experts and is said to be one of the cleanest versions yet. The water pressure and pulsations have two modes to help clean not only between teeth but below the gumline and through braces and bridges. Powerful enough to get food out but gentle enough to be pain-free. It’s rechargeable and has a one-touch operation.
Shipping is free on this product and it’s available the rest of the day or until it runs out.
Need a battery that can jump start your car as easily as it can your phone? Pick up Gooloo’s 4000A Peak SuperSafe Car Jump Starter for $84 at Amazon using the promo code 4JFKBZHD.
While most people need a portable charger you can stuff in a bag or jacket pocket, this battery packs enough power to jump start your car in a pinch, too. With two USB-A charging ports, and one USB-C charging port, you’ll be able to keep all your gear charged up on your road trips without worrying about killing your car’s battery.

Believe it or not, lately I’ve been having trouble focusing at work, in part due to the excessive cat hair pervading my apartment. It’s why I asked our readers last week for your input on the best pet hair removers, and it’s also why I spend much of my time vacuuming obsessively. But without the right vacuum for the job, clunks of hair can get lodged in the brushes.
The Dyson V8 Animal cordless vacuum, now discounted $60 on Amazon, pumps up the volume (brush bar power) 150% over the Dyson V6, making it the perfect match for pet lovers and messy roommates alike. It’s cord-free, so while you do have to charge it, anything beats plugging and unplugging it as you vacuum throughout the house. However, bear in mind that because this is a renewed, or refurbished by Amazon, product it is subject to minimal wear and tear—including a reduced battery capacity as low as 80%.
If you’re in need of a desk chair upgrade right about now, this sophisticated number might do the trick. District Eight’s Kalmar Desk Chair is a handsome adjustable chair with a blackened steel frame with brass-plated steel tacks, oak wood arms, and waxed cotton-polyester canvas upholstery. With the extra savings, it’s more than half off the original $728 price point.
