Amazon Fire 10 Tablet

The Fire HD 10 remains our favorite of Amazon’s tablets. The latest model hails from 2023, and could see an update later this year, but if you’re in the market for a cheap way to consume Prime content, this is the best Amazon device to do it. The nice things about the Fire HD 10 compared to other Fire tablets are the larger screen, which actually hits full HD (1080p), making it better for watching videos, and the 3 gigabytes of RAM, which helps in browsing the web with many tabs.

MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
The M4 MacBook Air is the best laptop you can buy and even at full price it’s a darn good deal, but this discount makes it a no-brainer. Should you get additional storage? That’s your call, I went for 24-GB of RAM when I got mine, which is also on sale for $1,250 ($150 off).

The iPad is a funny little device, no one needs one, but they are strangely compelling. If you want to give in to that urge you can grab yourself the base model iPad for next to nothing right now. Now that iPadOS 26 allows for conventional windowing, you can even justify it as work device.

There are a handful of deals on Android phone. Check out our guide to the best Android phones for more options.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Android Phone

This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on Samsung’s folding phone, probably because Samsung is announcing the Galaxy Z Fold7 series this week. The Z Fold6 remains a good buy though, especially at this price. The build quality is outstanding and the front screen is great.
Samsung S24 FE Android Phone

This midrange smartphone shares some elements Samsung’s flagship S24 series, but it does make some sacrifices to keep the price down. Our Best Samsung Phones guide suggests this the one to get at this price though. It offers good performance and the triple-camera system is great. You also get IP68 water resistance and wireless charging.
Google Pixel Tablet

The Google Pixel Tablet is a solid Adroid tablet, though it does lack a first-party stylus or keyboard, so it’s not the best choice if you want to try working on a tablet. Still, you get good performance, a nice, sharp, LCD screen, and good speakers. We prefer the version with a dock, but unfortunately that’s not on sale.
Deals on Routers and Mesh Wi-Fi
Nothing will improve your home internet experience like good coverage. See our guide to the best mesh routers and how to make your home internet faster for more info.
