Joining the ongoing Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 with up to $1,230 off via an instant trade-in credit, FREE $200 Samsung credit, and a chance to land Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at up to $300 off, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by ASUS’ 16GB/256GB ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus at a $600 low and Microsoft’s 2026 touchscreen Surface Pro 2-in-1s at all-time lows at up to $470 off. We also have a massive monitor sale now live at up to 50% off with deals on gaming and workstation displays from just $65. Head below for a closer look.

Huge deals on Galaxy Z Fold 8/Ultra and next-gen Galaxy Watches still live: $1,230 off, FREE $350 credit, more

The giant pre-orders discounts on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 roll on this weekend, and we waned to highlight the debut offers once again as Samsung can tend to start to remove some of the better bundle and bonus discounts as we push through the pre-order window. As of right now you can still score a FREE $200 Samsung credit that can result in as much as $230 of Galaxy Watch 9, $300 off Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and even a FREE pair of Galaxy Buds 4 when added to your order. And if you’re not leveraging the enhanced trade-in values you can also use code PAYPAL still at checkout to knock another $100 off your order. 

If the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra launch is anything like past releases, it’s only a matter of time before Samsung shuts down the use of code PAYPAL100 at checkout to knock $100 off your order, and there’s no telling what might happen to trade-in values and the FREE credit offer:

As mention above, adding any of the new Watch releases to your Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra pre-order will deliver a giant discount – at least $230 off the Galaxy Watch 9 and as much as $300 of the new Ultra 2:

If you would prefer some FREE Amazon credit, there are up to $350 in FREE gift cards available with pre-orders:

Score the new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at $250 off with trade, or up to $300 off with Galaxy Z Fold 8/Ultra pre-orders, more

While there is still time ahead of the early August delivery dates to secure your pre-order on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, as well as the Galaxy Watch 9 or Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, there’s no telling when Samsung might decide to reduce the savings potential – it has done this in the past. This morning we wanted to highlight the discount opportunity on the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 – not only can you knock $250 off the watch with a trade-in, but you can still land a giant $300 off the list price at checkout with a Fold 8/Ultra pre-order, and score $100 off the phone itself. 

If you’re not leveraging the enhanced trade-in values on the new Galaxy foldables, adding any of the new Galaxy Watches (or the latest Buds) to the same cart as the phones will yield some seriously deep deals. 

The regularly $250 Galaxy Buds 4 Pro will be FREE, you can bring the price down on the new Galaxy Watch 9 to just $112, and you can land a giant $300 off the flagship Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. 

You’ll also want to remember to leverage the PAYPAL100 discount code here – it appears to be working for some users even without a PayPal checkout. This will knock an additional $100 off the price of the phone. 

All of this in combination can deliver a whole list of discounts in the cart before placing your order:

ASUS’ 16GB/256GB ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus is a great back-to-school alternative to MacBook Neo at $600 low today

Alongside its now-live Back-to-School sale event, and as part of its daily deals lineup, Best Buy is offering ASUS’ ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook for $599.99 shipped today. This notebook comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD and normally sells for $800, so you’re saving $200 here. The discount also brings it back down to the lowest price we last tracked during last year’s holiday sale. The model highlighted here as part of Best Buy’s sale today delivers some serious value considering the lower-end variant of this laptop with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage typically goes for the same $600 price at Amazon. Head below for more details.

This is one of the more powerful Chromebooks you can get, powered by Intel’s eight-core Core Ultra 5 115U 4.2GHz processor and a built-in NPU for AI features. The configuration on sale comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, giving it plenty of room for everyday multitasking, browser tabs, apps, and local files. You also get a free year of Google One AI Premium, which includes access to Gemini Advanced. The 14-inch WQXGA display has a 120Hz refresh rate and an anti-glare finish, while the lightweight design makes it easy to carry around. This notebook also offers a good set of connectivity options to get you two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and so on. It’s a pretty good option to consider if you’re looking to buy a reliable everyday laptop for school or work, and it even stands as a capable alternative to Apple’s latest MacBook Neo.

Be sure to stop by our computer accessories hub once you are done grabbing the deal here to catch some peripherals for your new laptop. You might also want to check out Best Buy’s back-to-school sale, which is now live at up to $730 off.

Anker’s 200W charging station packs six ports and now costs just $56 (2026 low)

Over at Amazon, you’ll find Anker’s official storefront offering its 200W 6-port charging station currently down at $55.99 shipped. This is regularly an $80 unit, which is seeing a 30% discount right now. Today’s deal takes $26 off its usual going rate to mark the return of its lowest price of the year. We did see it fall to around $50 a couple of times last year, but it hasn’t dropped below $56 so far this year. Head below for more details.

Anker’s Prime charging station gives you six ports in total for your desktop charging setup, including four USB-C and two USB-A. It can deliver up to 200W across all six ports, while each USB-C connection supports up to 100W, so there’s no need to figure out which one is the fastest. The two USB-A ports top out at 22.5W each and are better suited for smaller accessories and older devices. The ports are also neatly arranged on the front for easy access, and it even comes with a 5-foot power cord running from the back.

If you’re also looking to supercharge your workstation with a docking station, Anker’s 14-in-1 hub is still down at $228. This unit even sports a display, and it’s down from its usual price of $300.

Not jumping on the Fold 8/Ultra pre-order deals? The 2026 Galaxy A57 phone just hit the Amazon all-time low at $425

While the sizable pre-order discounts on the new flagship foldable lineup roll on this week with Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 up to $1,230 off with an instant trade-in credit, FREE $200 Samsung credit, and more. For those looking towards a much more affordable 2026 Samsung Galaxy device, the Samsung Galaxy A57 smartphone has now dropped to a new Amazon all-time low at $425 shipped. 

Amazon is now offering the base model Samsung Galaxy A57 phone down at $424.99 shipped. Regularly $550, this is nearly 25% off and the lowest price we can find. 

Currently up at full price on the official Samsung site, this regularly $550 device is now $125 off the list to deliver a new Amazon all-time low. This one dropped to $450 for Prime Day last month, but is now available at $25 less than that for the best deal we have tracked at Amazon on this model. 

It is certainly no Galaxy S26, nor is it one of the just-launched 2026 foldables, but for those looking towards a perfectly capable, albeit casual, device that won’t break the bank to head back to school with, or just as a simple refresh, the A57 is a sort of top-end casual device from Samsung that can certainly get the job done.
