The hardware itself is powerful enough to play games at a steady 4K/60 fps, with capable of reaching higher frame rates. Unlike the less powerful Xbox Series S — which itself — it also includes a disc drive. There's at least we see a Series X refresh in 2024, but the current machine is an easier sell when it's discounted to this extent.
A four-pack of is back down to $80 at Amazon, and other retailers. That's about $9 off its usual street price and $19 less than buying from Apple directly. The AirTag is the "best for iPhones" pick in our , as its ultra-wideband wireless tech and ability to tap into Apple's Find My device network make it particularly convenient for locating lost items. Its battery is easily replaceable, too, plus it's water-resistant. It lacks any built-in adhesive or keyring hole, however, so you'll need to if you want to attach it to an item.

We saw these noise-canceling earphones fall $10 cheaper during Black Friday, but this is still $20 below their average street price and $49 below Apple's list price. The AirPods Pro effective active noise cancellation, pleasingly warm sound and a host of Apple-device-specific conveniences, which is why they're the "best for iOS" pick in our guide to the .

Sonos is running a that brings many of its smart speakers, soundbars and home theater devices back to the prices we saw on Black Friday. The flagship soundbar is $180 off at $719, for one, while the mid-range and budget-level are down to $399 and $223, respectively. All three are picks in our .

The tablet is back on sale for $60, which is $5 more than its all-time low but $40 off Amazon's list price. That price applies to the model with 32GB of storage; if you want more space (and don't have a microSD card), the is available for a low of $70. The Fire HD 8 is far from an iPad in terms of performance and app support, but it may be the cheapest competent tablet for most people. It's light, it lasts 10 or so hours on a charge and it's quick enough for basic web browsing and video streaming. Amazon's Fire OS still includes lock screen ads and heavily pushes the company's own services, but it's hard to do better at this price.
The 10.1-inch is also $50 off and down to $90, which is a $10 more than its Black Friday price. That one has the same software issues, but it's faster than the Fire HD 8 and features a sharper 1080p display.

It's simple to set up and delivers impressively bright colors to any area of the house where you'd like to add ambient lighting. You can apply different effects to separate parts of the strip through Govee's app, plus it's compatible with the smart home standard. It can be an eyesore when it's not lit up, however, so you may not want to stick it out in the open.

The Evo Select is the "best value" recommendation in our : It's not as fast as our top picks, but it's quick enough for most tasks — expanding a Nintendo Switch's storage, for instance — and it provides a better cost-per-gigabyte ratio than most cards.
If you're looking to stock up on a few new PC games, the Epic Games Store has kicked off its latest . The key here is the , which takes 33 percent off most games in the store as long as your cart totals $14.99 or more.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 the software benefits of the in a more rugged design with a bigger and brighter display, twice the rated battery life and a customizable "Action Button" that you can use to quickly start a task. It also offers better waterproofing, more accurate GPS, a depth sensor and a loud siren for emergency SOS purposes. It is entirely too much smartwatch for most people, but this price makes it a little more appealing for endurance athletes with money to burn.
A variant of the with an Apple M2 chip, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is available for $1,449 at Amazon and . That's $250 off Apple's list price and the best price we've seen outside of a couple of special offers for My Best Buy Plus members. We gave the 15-inch Air a in June and currently recommend it in our . The M2 chip remains plenty fast for everyday tasks, and the chassis is still supremely well-built, with a crisp display, comfortable keyboard, reliable touchpad, long-lasting battery and lively speakers.
We recommend starting with 16GB of memory, but if you really need to save cash, configs of the 13- and 15-inch Air with less RAM and storage are .

The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the top pick in our guide to the : This config is plenty capable for playing modern AAA games but, at 3.6 pounds, it's not a complete anchor to carry around. A solid keyboard and trackpad help, too, though the 720p webcam could be sharper and there's a good bit of bloatware installed by default. The 512GB SSD isn't especially large either, though you can upgrade the storage if needed.
