Save up to $90 on the ASUS Chromebook 14

Based around a 14-inch NanoEdge display, this entry from ASUS features a more premium form-factor than your average Chromebook. Its all-metal design sports two USB-C ports alongside USB-A 3.1, a microSD card reader, and more. An Intel Core M3 processor pairs with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard storage. Plus, up to 12 hours of battery keeps it running all-day long. You can learn more in our announcement coverage.

Today only,  Amazon is offering up to 39% off Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speakers and headphones. One standout is the Anker Soundcore Flare Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for $40. Regularly $60 or more, today’s deal is about $20 or 36% off the going rate and is the best we can find. This IP67 dust and waterproof speaker features 360-degree audio via its passive bass radiators and dual drivers. You’re looking at up to 12 hours of playback per charge and a halo of LEDs along the bottom with five customizable modes “to suit your mood.” Check out the entire sale here.

Google Home Mini TV bundles

Today only, Best Buy is offering the Sharp 50-inch 4K HDR Roku UHDTV for $200. You’ll also receive a FREE Google Home Mini speaker with a purchase. As a comparison, it regularly sells for $300 alone without the add-on, and today’s deal is $50 less than our previous mention. Google Home Mini retails for as much as $49 regularly. This 50-inch Ultra HDTV makes for a perfect second or third display in your home. Built-in Roku functionality delivers all of your favorite streaming services without the need for adding an additional set-top box to the mix. Features include a 4K panel, three HDMI inputs, one USB port, and more. Bring Google Home Mini into the mix and you’ll be able to leverage Assistant to control various smart home features, listen to the news, and more.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S4 gets $102 discount

Amazon offers the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5-inch 64GB Tablet with S Pen for $448. Having dropped from $550, today’s offer is good for a $102 discount, beats our previous mention by $2, and ties the all-time low. With a 10.5-inch sAMOLED screen, three built-in speakers, expandable microSD card storage, and other features, Samsung’s tablet is as notable as they come in the Android world at this price point. Galaxy Tab S4 also supports Samsung DeX functionality, which allows you to convert the tablet into a full-blown computer. Plus, the added S-Pen helps you unlock your creativity or be a master notetaker. 

Get two TP-Link smart plugs for $20

Best Buy offers a two-pack of TP-Link HS105 Smart Plugs for $20 shipped. As a comparison, you’d typically pay $15 per plug and today’s deal is $8 less than our previous mention.
