With CES behind us and Samsung's Unpacked ahead, the Engadget team had a quick chance this week to catch our collective breath. But we're still keeping an eye on the deal machine to see which tech sales are worth your money. Right now, we're seeing some good deals from Apple, one on the latest iPad mini and another on the new 15-inch MacBook Air, as well as a first-ever discount on the Kindle Colorsoft e-reader. There are a couple of discounts on Bluetooth trackers to help you keep tabs on your keys and bags. And Best Buy still has a promotion for three free months of Apple TV+ so you can start watching the newly released second season of Rupture. Here are this week's best tech deals that you can still get today.
-
Anker Prime Power Bank 20,000 mAh Portable Charger with Charging Dock for $110 ($75 off): This matches the price this set reached for Black Friday. This is our current favorite premium power bank thanks to its sleek design, easy-to-read display, and fast charging capabilities. But what really sets it apart is the charging base. Magnets align the base with the battery for easy placement and recharging. The base also provides additional USB ports so you can charge other things at the same time.
-
Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2024, M3, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM) for $1,249 ($250 off): All four colors are currently on sale on amazon for the latest MacBook Air. Last year we gave the laptop a positive review, with great performance for both productive work and casual gaming. The keyboard and trackpad are great, making using the laptop a pleasure. We currently recommend the MacBook Air M3 as the best MacBook for most people.
-
amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB) $230 ($50 off with Prime): If you're a Prime member, you can save $50 on the recently released Colorsoft Kindle, aka the first Kindle with color. This is the first discount we have seen since the debut of this model. We experience the “yellow band” problem with our review unit, but we subsequently received an updated reader, in which amazon made the “appropriate adjustments” to resolve the problem. The software and display adjustments that the company implemented worked, and we actually liked the overall effect. See our review for the full story.
-
Chipolo One Point (4-pack) for $63 ($49 off): Chipolo One's point came to light shortly after Google launched its Find My Device feature, the crowd-sourced search network that relies on other Android phones to track down what's missing (sort of like Google's Find My feature). Apple). This is currently our favorite Bluetooth tracker for Android. We liked how easy it was to set up and how loud it sounds. Plus, unlike AirTags, it comes with a hole, so attaching the tracker to a keychain is easy. Also on amazon. Chipolo is also selling a bundle that combines its wallet and two standard One trackers for $52.
-
Apple AirTag (4-pack) for $70 ($29 off): A new model of AirTags may arrive later this year, but as it stands, we consider Apple's current AirTag to be the best Bluetooth tracker for iPhone owners. This isn't an all-time low, but it beats the current price of $73 that the four-pack has reached in recent months. Also in Best buy.
-
EcoFlow Delta Ultra Inverter and Battery for $5,199 ($899 off): It's not a casual investment, but if you're looking for an all-in-one home battery, you can save around $900 on a single 6.1 kWh battery and inverter set. We reviewed the EcoFlow Delta Ultra at last year's CES (this year we reviewed the brand's stylish solar hat). The battery can be filled from solar panels or the grid and return power to your home when required or when there is an outage.
-
JBL Clip 5 for $50 ($30 off): Those looking for a decent-sounding but highly portable music box can check out this deal on the JBL Clip 5. This model isn't on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers, but plenty of other JBL options are. This waterproof unit has a built-in carabiner, lasts 12 hours on a charge, and can be paired with other Clip speakers via the Auracast feature in the JBL app.
-
Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Gaming Controller for $98 ($32 off): The Core version of the Elite Series 2 controller is one of our top picks for Xbox accessories. It gives you some of the key features of the $180 Xbox Elite Series 2 controller for a more affordable price. The Core has a rubber grip and stronger triggers, joysticks and directional pad. It also has up to 40 hours of battery life on a charge. It doesn't come with the different joysticks, directional pads, and rear paddles that the full-priced Elite controller includes, but you can buy them separately later.
-
Soundcore by Anker Space A40 headphones for $45 ($35 off): These headphones are our top pick for the best budget wireless headphones you can buy. You can customize the sound through the Soundcore app, and the buttons can be swapped between two devices. The active noise cancellation (ANC) blocks out background noises and is surprisingly effective, especially for headphones in this price range.
-
Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Vacuum for $250 ($250 off): In our guide to the best cordless vacuum cleaners, we recommend several Dyson vacuum cleaners. The Digital Slim isn't on the list, but it's still worth considering, especially since it's half price (not an all-time low; it sold for $230 during Black Friday). It lasts 40 minutes and is 30 percent lighter than the Dyson V11, which should make it easier to move across the floor. Also on amazon and Dyson directly.
-
Audible Premium Plus (3 months) for $3 at amazon ($30 off, new and returning users only): Now through January 21, new and returning customers can get three months of Audible Premium Plus for one dollar per month, or $3 total. After that, it will automatically renew at the standard price of $15 per month. This is Audible's highest tier that lets you listen to anything in the Audible Plus library and lets you keep one title from a curated selection of audiobooks each month.
-
Corsair MP600 Mini (1TB) M.2 2230 SSD for $80 at amazon ($30 off): The MP600 Mini is a small-sized SSD that can be installed in portable gaming devices like the Steam Deck or devices like Microsoft's Surface laptops. It's not that different from the M.2 2230 drive we recommend in our SSD buying guide, but this one is $20 cheaper right now, which matches its all-time low. Also on Corsair.
