Acer’s 15-inch Chromebook is an affordable school option

Today only, Best Buy’s eBay storefront offers the Acer 15-inch Chromebook 1.6GHz/4GB/16GB for $159. That’s at least 20% off the regular going rate and a match of the best price we’ve tracked all-time. Notable features include a 15-inch display, 16GB of eMMC flash memory, and two USB 3.0 ports. A built-in HDMI output makes it easy to connect with larger displays and an HD webcam helps you connect with others.

Save 50% on Samsung’s DeX Pad Dock

Amazon is currently offering the DeX Pad Docking Station for Samsung Galaxy S9/+ at $45. Normally selling for $100 direct from Samsung, that’s good for a 50% discount and comes within $7 of the all-time low. Today’s offer is the best we’ve seen it sell for this year, as well as overall at Amazon. This Galaxy-compatible smart dock has dual USB ports as well as an HDMI input to turn your handset into a full-blown desktop computer. It powers your device via USB-C and also allows you to use its screen as a trackpad.

Nokia 9 PureView Smartphone gets $200 discount

B&H is currently offering the Nokia 9 PureView 128GB Unlocked Android Smartphone for $499. Typically selling for $699, that saves you $200, beats the all-time low there by $100 and is the best we’ve seen. Rocking five 12MP rear cameras, Nokia 9 PureView features a six-inch pOLED HDR10 display, 128GB of built-in storage and more. Powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor, you’ll also find an underscreen fingerprint sensor. Learn more in our hands-on review.

Snag two Google Home Minis for $39

BuyDig via Rakuten is offering the two-pack of Google Home Minis for $39. That’s a $58 savings compared to the typical rate, $10+ off Best Buy’s current sale price, and is one of the best offers we’ve tracked. Just because I reside in the Alexa ecosystem, that doesn’t mean I cannot heartily recommend its competitors. They are all quite similar, providing an easy way to dim the lights, tweak temps on a smart thermostat, and more. By spreading these throughout your home, you’ll be able to leave your phone pocketed or in another room with less remorse than ever.
