Here are the best tech offers that you can still buy today.

• Sonos Era100 smart speaker for $199 (50 off) at Sonos.: One of our favorites smart speakers is back to its lowest ever price. As part of an overall sale at both Sonos Amazonis offering $50 off the Era 100. In our review, we gave it an 88 score because of its loud audio. We also love the connectivity options, which include Bluetooth and line in. Sonos has simplified its Trueplay tuning, which optimizes audio output for the space. The speaker will also work with Alexa (which only handles music duties and does not support Google Assistant).

• Sonos Beam Gen 2 $399 ($100 Off) at Sonos: We named the Beam as the best midrange audiobar and it’s currently $100 off. This is $30 more than Black Friday but still a good deal on a TV speaker that will enhance the immersion of movies and make dialogue more clear. You can also grab the Original Arc soundbar at $250 off — this version is likely to be discontinued in favor the Arc Ultra which is unfortunately still full price.

• Amazon:Apple AirTag 4-pack for $70 (with a discount of $29)A new model Apple’s AirTag has been released This year, is expected to bring upgrades including a longer range. As of now, our testing shows that these are the best ways for iPhone users to track their bags, keys and luggage. AirTags use other iPhones anonymously to ping lost tags, and we found this system to be almost spooky. This is the lowest price for the 4-pack tags in recent months. Also at Best Buy

• Apple iPad Mini A17 Pro for $399 ($100 Off) at Amazon: We saw this deal just a few weeks ago, and it’s back. This is a record-low price for Apple’s newest small-scale tablet. The iPad Mini 7 is our choice for the Best compact iPad – in part because it is the only one – and we gave it an 83 in our review. Apple updated it in October last year with a faster processor and support for Apple Pencil Pro. This configuration comes with 128GB of storage, and Apple’s A17 Pro processor. It has 8GB of RAM which is sufficient to support Apple Intelligence.

• Apple iPad Air 11,-inch (M2, 128) for $499 at Amazon: This is the perfect time to get our top pick for the best iPad. This is a dollar less than the previous record low of $498. In our review of the M2 iPad Air, we gave it a score 91 when it was released in May last year. We think that it is the perfect balance between performance, features, and price — especially right now. The The 13-inch Air also gets $100 off. Both deals are available at Best Buy

• Apple iPad Pro 13.-Inch (M4,256B) for just $1,099 at Amazon: Apple’s high-end iPad has dropped to a new record low price. The smaller The 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (19459362) is currently on sale for $899. It has been at this price for most of the last few months. Apple’s M4 chipset is the latest from Apple. It was first used in the iPad Pro, before it was put in a MacBook. The Pro is a ridiculously powerful tablet that can handle tasks such as video editing, along with the usual streaming, games, and browsing that people use tablets for. In our review we called it the nicest portable screen we’ve ever seen, with extremely fast performance. But we also called it “prohibitively expensive,” when you consider the accessories required to make the most of its potential.

• Apple Watch Series 10 at Amazon for $329 ($70 discount): This is the return to a low price record for Apple’s newest smartwatch. The Series 10 is the best smartwatch we’ve seen. It has all the features we love about the Series 9, but with a larger screen that is easier to view from different angles, and a thinner design. In our review, we gave it a score 90. Also at Best Buy

• Dell: Enter the code MONITORS15 ( ) at checkout to get an additional 15% off the $900 sale. The 34-inch model has a $250 discount, but no coupon code is available. This is our favorite gaming monitor and we called it an “incredible ultrawide OLED”. The curved QD panel has 4K resolution with a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz.

• Google nest WiFi Pro 6E mesh network router for $120 (80 dollars off) at Amazon.: Get a 40 percent discount if you choose the Fog colorway. This mesh router made our list because it is reliable, easy to use and perfect for those looking for a mesh system they can set up and forget about. Also at B&H Photo

• Google Nest Learning Thermostat 2024 for $240 ($40 Off) at Amazon: The latest version of Google’s smart thermostat has a $40 discount, which is $10 more than the lowest we’ve seen. Google

• LG B4 OLED TV (48″) for $600 at Best Buy ($200 off MSRP): This ties the lowest price we’ve seen for the 48-inch LG B4, which is the entry-level model in LG’s 2024 OLED lineup. While it’s not as bright or color-rich as some higher-end alternatives, it still offers the essential perks of any good OLED TV: superb contrast with deep black tones, clear motion, wide viewing angles and the like. It’s also a nice value for gaming, as it has four HDMI 2.1 ports that support refresh rates up to 120Hz. It’s just better off in a darker room, and this particular model is relatively small. — Jeff Dunn, Senior Reporter, Buying Advice

• Hisense U7N QLED TV (65″) for $698 at Amazon ($300 off): Severalreviewers we trust say that the U7N delivers better brightness, contrast and HDR performance than most TVs in its price range.[ItItTheAlso–[ItItTheAlso–Jd.

• Samsung The Frame 2024 QLED TV (55″) for $868 at Woot ($630 off): This deal from Amazon subsidiary Woot has been live for a few weeks, but it ties the best price to date for the 55-inch version of Samsung’s stylish Frame TV outside of a one-off eBay coupon deal. You’d buy this set for its design above all else: It can’t match the contrast and color volume of other TVs in its price range, as it lacks local dimming altogether, but it’s convincingly built like a framed piece of wall art that can blend in with your home decor. Its matte panel helps it fend off glare in a bright room, and you can display actual artwork onscreen when you’re not watching something. It’s worth noting that Samsung unveiled a new and improved “Frame Pro” TV at CES, but we’d expect that to cost more whenever it arrives. — J.D.

Deals from last week that are still live today

We assemble this deals roundup each week — and sometimes discounts from the previous week are still going strong when we put together the new one. If you didn’t catch last week’s post or were waiting to jump on an item or two, here are the sales that are still active today:

• Crucial X9 Pro (1TB) for $70 at Amazon ($31 off MSRP): The X9 Pro is our pick for the best portable SSD, as it combines steady performance for most needs with a rugged, super-compact design that’s easy to take on the go. We saw this deal earlier this month, but it matches the largest discount for the 1TB model since late 2023. Also at Best Buy. — Jeff Dunn, Senior Reporter, Buying Advice

• Meta Quest 3S (256GB) + $15 Newegg gift card for $350 at Newegg ($65 off): The Quest 3S is the budget recommendation in our guide to the best VR headsets. While its older fresnel lenses aren’t as crisp or clear as the pancake lenses in the superior Quest 3, they’re good enough for most people just getting started with VR, and the headset as a whole is just as fast as the pricier model. More importantly, it supports all the same apps and games. The 256GB model has been $50 off at several retailers for a little over a week, but at Newegg you can now get a $15 gift card thrown in for no extra cost. Also at Amazon, Meta and others without the gift card. Meta says the price drop will end on February 8. — J.D.
