ASUS Chromebooks see 25% back to school discounts
Just in time for back to school, Amazon is now discounting a selection of ASUS Chromebooks. Headlining is the ASUS Chromebook Flip C433 for $300. This new all-time low arrives from its usual $400 going rate and amounts to 25% in savings. This is $45 under our previous mention from earlier in the year, as well.
Fittingly for one of the newest additions to the ASUS Chromebook line, its Flip C433 arrives with a 2-in-1 design centered around a 14-inch 1080p touchscreen display. The entire package is powered by a core M3 processor that’s backed by 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. To round out the back to school upgrade, there are a pair of USB-C ports which arrive alongside a USB-A slot and microSD card input.

Sony’s new XM5 ANC Headphones fall to lows from $255
Through the end of today, Woot now offers the latest Sony XM5 Wireless ANC Headphones for $340. Normally fetching $398 via other retailers like Amazon, today’s offer amounts to the very first cash discount we’ve seen at $58 off. This is a new all-time low, as well. Those who don’t mind going with a certified refurbished pair can score the headphones from eBay at $255.
Sony’s new XM5 headphones arrive as the latest addition to its series of popular cans backed by some of the best active noise cancellation on the market. This time around there’s a completely refreshed design that now arrives with 30-hour battery life to go alongside the new Integrated Processor V1 for improved playback. That new exterior is comprised of soft fit leather with a lightweight build rounding out the package alongside multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra from $930
Amazon is now offering the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 128GB for $930. Normally fetching $1,200, today’s offer is delivering the first price cut since last month over Prime Day and delivers a new all-time low at $270. You can also save on the elevated 256GB capacity, which is now down to $1,030 from its usual $1,350 price tag.
As the new flagship handset in the Samsung stable, the Galaxy S22 Ultra arrives with a refreshed, yet similarly-squared off design as last year’s model. New this time around is an S Pen slot to channel some Galaxy Note energy, as well as a 6.8-inch SuperAMOLED panel and the recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. That’s alongside 256GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, and an improved 5,000mAh battery backed by 45W charging. Our launch day hands-on review details what to expect.
Google Pixel Stand 2nd Gen returns to all-time low
Amazon is now offering the Google Pixel Stand (2nd Gen) for $59. Now on sale for one of the very first times, today’s discount delivers the same $20 in savings we saw back on Prime Day from its usual $79 price tag. This is matching the all-time low for only the second time, as well.
Google’s second-generation Pixel Stand arrives with much of the same design cues of the original, just with improved charging speeds for its latest handsets. Everything notably kicks off with 23W of power which can go towards fast charging a Pixel 6/Pro handset or just topping off Pixel Buds and the like. Though for the former application, it’ll turn your handset into a mini Nest Hub display of sorts while it charges. That feature is explored more in our hands-on review, which also covers everything else to expect from the first-party accessory.
