The high resolution screen and warm lighting make it easy on the eyes, and this latest version if plenty fast with a smooth reading experience. This is the 12th-generation of the Paperwhite and Amazon has really nailed it. Whether you want to read more or are tired of carrying physical books, the Paperwhite delivers, and all the extra features over the basic model are worth the money.<\/p>\n More Kindle Deals<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n Amazon’s first-ever Kindle with a color screen<\/a>, the Colorsoft has a 7-inch display with nice high contrast display for color and black-and-white content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Amazon Fire 10 Tablet<\/p>\n Photograph: Best Buy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Fire HD 10 remains our favorite of Amazon\u2019s tablets<\/a>. The latest model hails from 2023, and could see an update later this year, but if you’re in the market for a cheap way to consume Prime content, this is the best Amazon device to do it. The nice things about the Fire HD 10 compared to other Fire tablets are the larger screen, which actually hits full HD (1080p), making it better for watching videos, and the 3 gigabytes of RAM, which helps in browsing the web with many tabs.<\/p>\n More Fire Tablet Deals<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n Amazon’s attempt at a luxury Fire tablet<\/a>, the Fire Max 11 does have a nice screen, and it’s a little faster, but the limitations of Fire OS (no Google apps for example) remain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We think the 2024 Fire HD 8 Kids is the best kids tablet for younger children. If your kids are say 10 and up, go for the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro $154 ($66 off)<\/a>. both are great for Amazon Kids+, which you will get for free for one year when you buy this tablet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Echo Show 8<\/p>\n Photograph: Nena Farrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Courtesy of Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n Amazon<\/p>\n The Echo Show 8 is one of the best all-around Echo speakers. It’s a great size, and a capable device. You can stream video, check the forecast, control your smart home, and make video calls on the 13-MP camera. It’s got great sound too, making it a great speaker choice as well as a smart assistant.<\/p>\n More Echo Deals<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n The second generation Echo Spot the perfect bedside companion<\/a> thanks to its half-circle screen. You can see the time, plus any alarms coming up, and the screen dims nicely when the lights are out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Be sure to see more of our Apple coverage: The Best MacBooks<\/a>, Best iPads<\/a>, and Best iPad Accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n Apple Macbook Air<\/p>\n Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apple<\/p>\n The M4 MacBook Air<\/a> is the best laptop you can buy<\/a> and even at full price it’s a darn good deal, but this discount makes it a no-brainer. Should you get additional storage? That’s your call, I went for 24-GB of RAM when I got mine, which is also on sale for $1,250 ($150 off)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photograph: Brenda Stolyar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Brenda Stolyar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The iPad is a funny little device, no one needs one, but they are strangely compelling. If you want to give in to that urge you can grab yourself the base model iPad for next to nothing right now. Now that iPadOS 26 allows for conventional windowing<\/a>, you can even justify it as work device.<\/p>\n More Great Apple Deals<\/p>\n Apple<\/p>\n Our upgrade pick among iPads<\/a> the Air features Apple’s M3 chip, which greatly improves performance. Digital photo and video editing will be smoother, games will look better, and the device won’t bog down under more demanding workloads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apple<\/p>\n The 13-inch Air above is our favorite, but the 15-inch is nice when you need a larger screen (the speakers are quite good too). It\u2019s every bit as fast and thin, and maintains the same pixel density in the display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apple<\/p>\n There are a handful of deals on Android phone. Check out our guide to the best Android phones<\/a> for more options.<\/p>\n Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Android Phone<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This is one of the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen on Samsung\u2019s folding phone<\/a>, probably because Samsung is announcing the Galaxy Z Fold7 series this week. The Z Fold6 remains a good buy though, especially at this price. The build quality is outstanding and the front screen is great.<\/p>\n Samsung S24 FE Android Phone<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This midrange smartphone shares some elements Samsung’s flagship S24 series, but it does make some sacrifices to keep the price down. Our Best Samsung Phones guide<\/a> suggests this the one to get at this price though. It offers good performance and the triple-camera system is great. You also get IP68 water resistance and wireless charging.<\/p>\n Google Pixel Tablet<\/p>\n Photograph: Nena Farrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Courtesy of Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Google Pixel Tablet<\/a> is a solid Adroid tablet, though it does lack a first-party stylus or keyboard, so it’s not the best choice if you want to try working on a tablet. Still, you get good performance, a nice, sharp, LCD screen, and good speakers. We prefer the version with a dock, but unfortunately that’s not on sale.<\/p>\n Nothing will improve your home internet experience like good coverage. See our guide to the best mesh routers<\/a> and how to make your home internet faster<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n Eero Pro 6E Mesh Router<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you’re looking for a simple to set up, easy-to-use home network, Amazon’s Eero mesh systems<\/a> are the way to go. The tri-band Eero Pro 6E<\/a> gives you access to the 6 GHz spectrum in addition to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, for fast and dependable Wi-Fi. The Eero Plus subscription is $10 per month (or $100 per year) and includes solid parental controls, ad blocking, and more.<\/p>\n More Router Deals<\/p>\n Asus<\/p>\n Attention gamers, want a fast router with game modes that boost performance and prioritize related traffic?
