Friday deals: Best Buy Start Your List Sale, Acer Chromebooks, more

Friday’s best deals include the Best Buy Start Your List sale, Acer’s premium Chromebook, and Ring Video Doorbells. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Best Buy’s Start Your List sale

Best Buy is ending the week by kicking off its Start Your List sale, offering a variety of discounts on iPads, Nest bundles, TVs, smart home gear, drones, and more. Most notably, there are deals on Nest Mini bundles and you’ll be able to take up to $199 off a selection of Apple’s latest 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models. These price cuts match our previous mentions and are right around the all-time lows for the most part, though we have seen some of the higher-end iPad Pro deals land at up to $249 off before.

Acer’s premium 15-inch Chromebook is $299

Walmart is offering the Acer Chromebook 715 15.6-inch Touchscreen 2.2GHz/4GB/128GB for $299. That’s $80 off the typical rate there and is the lowest we’ve seen it go. With many Chromebooks sporting a cheap chassis, Acer’s 715 ratchets things up with an all-aluminum exterior. This delivers a MacBook-esque look and feel while clocking in at a fraction of the cost. Another notable feature includes 128GB of storage, which is significantly more than the 32GB or 64GB sizes that we often see. Up to 12-hour battery life can be achieved on a single charge, leaving you with all-day performance. Inputs include 2x USB-C, 3.5mm, microSD, and USB-A.

Ring Video Doorbell Pro deters porch pirates at $129

Amazon is currently offering the Ring Video Doorbell Pro in certified refurbished condition for $129. Typically selling for $249 in new condition, you’ll find today’s offer down from the usual $179 refurbished listings. That’s good for an up to 49% discount and is the lowest we’ve seen, new or otherwise.

Ring Doorbell Pro features 1080p video recording alongside 30 days of free cloud storage. Unique to this model is dual-band Wi-Fi support, which you won’t find on the lower-end Ring offerings. There’s also enhanced motion detection, so you’ll always be notified when there’s activity outside. Includes a one-year warranty direct from Amazon.

Save $80 on Sony’s Xperia 10 Plus Smartphone

Amazon currently offers the Sony Xperia 10 Plus 64GB GSM Unlocked Android Smartphone for $350. Usually selling for $430, today’s offer saves you nearly 20%, is $30 below Best Buy’s current sale price, and marks a new Amazon all-time low. Centered around a 6.5-inch HD display, Sony features a dual rear camera array comprised of 8 and 12MP sensors. Everything comes powered by a Snapdragon 1.8GHz octa-core processor and includes 64GB of onboard storage. If that’s not enough, a microSD card slot allows for easy expansion. Learn more in our hands-on coverage.

UE’s WONDERBOOM gets $30 price cut down to $40

Best Buy offers the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $40. Normally selling for $70 these days at retailers like Walmart and Target, today’s offer saves you $30, matches our previous mention for the all-time low, and lands at the expected Black Friday price. Rocking a waterproof design, this speaker can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes at a 1-meter depth. With 360-degree sound output, you’ll also be able to jam out to this speaker for ten hours on a single charge. WONDERBOOM can even be synced with other UE speakers for stereo sound.Learn more inour hands-on review.
