Of course, that's dependent on your connection, but your computer won't be the one slowing you down. You've got plenty of screen real estate, so that means ample space to view documents, stream movies and open multiple windows and tabs wat the same itme.
I know you. Yes, you. You were looking at the $630 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft or reMarkable Paper Pro with hungry eyes, but the price of both tablets was upsetting your stomach. So you've started looking elsewhere for a color e-reader/e-notetaker. In your blind search, you've come upon the Boox Note Air 5C, and you're still left grimacing at the $530 asking price.

If you're looking for a solidly-built, reliable, and powerful portable Bluetooth speaker, you owe it to yourself to take a closer look at the SoundLink Max.
Just $28, the Ocoopa hand warmers have more than 7,000 five-star ratings and have been purchased almost 150,000 times in the past month alone. That's about three times every minute, around the clock. While searching "hand warmers" on Amazon yields more than 10,000 results, these have apparently beat out every other option for their quality, size, battery life, and more.
Microsoft cut the price of its 2025 Xbox wireless controller on Amazon to $38, which is the lowest price ever for hardware that just came out. That's a $26 discount off the $64 list price, and here's the best part: it's a lot cheaper than Sony's DualSense (currently selling for $54, down from $74). Yes, these controllers were made for different consoles, but if you play games on your PC or on more than one device, this price makes the Xbox controller the clear choice.

Each keycap is styled in a classic lipstick shade, creating a cosmetic-like color palette that feels more like a makeup collection than a gadget. The frosted transparent shell lets these colors shine through, adding a soft, jewelry-display effect to your workspace.
Everyone's priorities are a little different in the wireless earbuds world, but the core tenets typically remain the same: you probably want a pair that sounds good, looks decent, and has features like active noise cancellation (ANC). And you probably want a pair with a logical amount of battery life, too. In fact, maybe you want a pair with an illogical battery life. One that has so much battery that it's almost stupid. If that's what you want, JLab's $100 Epic Pods ANC
There's no way to recharge the ring. Migicovsky says he didn't want yet another gadget to charge every day, so instead, the Pebble Index has non-rechargeable silver oxide hearing aid batteries designed to last 2 years with average use. Once the device's battery is nearly dead, users will receive a notification in the app, and the idea is you'll buy a new Pebble Index-an idea that's easier to get behind knowing the ring costs just $75.
The M1 chip is the real MVP here. I can hop between Slack, Google Docs, Spotify, Zoom, and an embarrassing number of Chrome tabs without a single hiccup or buffer wheel. It's also genuinely shocking how quiet this thing is. There's no fan, so it stays completely silent, even when I'm running big files or editing photos. And the battery? I'm convinced it runs on magic because this MacBook Air easily lasts me through an entire workday.
The sound engineering that went into this small speaker is all about getting bass response that usually needs much bigger drivers and enclosures. JBL tuned the parts inside to make what they call "punchy bass" which means that you can feel the low-end frequencies instead of just hearing the tinny mids and highs. A single driver and passive radiators in the speaker boost the bass without needing extra power or space.
Anker's seriously small Soundcore Sleep A20 sleepbuds can be nabbed for $108 right now at Amazon, their best price since they launched on Kickstarter at $90 last year. They normally sell for $179.99, making this a standout deal for a pair of ultra-tiny sleep buds that I barely notice as I drift off to the soothing sounds of rain or birdsong.
Beats designed the Solo 4 to last up to 50 hours on a single charge which changes the way you use wireless headphones all week long. You can fly across the country several times, go to work every day for two weeks or binge-watch entire TV shows without having to look for a charging cable. The USB-C charging port has fast fuel technology that lets you play for 5 hours on a 10-minute charge when you're running late.
Meta may have just released the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) at the end of October, but they're not significantly different from the last-gen model introduced in 2021. The overall experience is very similar, which is why the original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses remain a great buy, especially now that they're on sale for an all-time low of around $238.99 ($60 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for Black Friday.
You can pick up the base 12/256GB unit for $700 and the upgrade to 16/512GB is $100 more. Even though it is a previous gen chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is still one of the fastest around and the 6.82" 1440p+ LTPO OLED is great. The phone is equipped with three 50MP cameras on the back, including a main with a 1/1.43" sensor and a 3x/73mm periscope. This part is arguably better than the OnePlus 15.
The Surface Laptop is more than capable of powering through a 12-hour day and handling typical productivity tasks with ease. The laptop offers impressive standby times, too, while the quiet, tactile keyboard is a pleasure to type on, and some might even prefer it to the MacBook Air's. The mechanical trackpad isn't haptic, but clicks still feel surprisingly well-defined and crisp. You also get a sharp 1080p webcam, two USB-C 3.2 ports, and one USB-A 3.1 port.
Nintendo released the follow-up to its massively successful Nintendo Switch console, earlier this summer. Now for the holidays, you can jump in and grab yourself the new Nintendo Switch 2 for $450. However, if you missed out on the Switch generation, picking yourself up an older model may not be the worst idea. Right now, Amazon has the Nintendo Switch OLED on sale for 10% off. That brings the price down
It was only just a couple of weeks ago that Apple's AirPods 4 dropped to a new low price; however, if you missed out on the former deal, you now have a chance to snag the excellent entry-level earbuds for even less. Right now, the AirPods 4 are on sale for around $69 ($60 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target in the lead-up to Black Friday, which is nearly a 50 percent discount.
In a video posted on Weibo, Huawei reveals that the Mate 80 series will introduce a new battery-saving feature called 'Outdoor Mode', which promises to extend battery life for several days. Huawei claims the new mode can deliver up to 14 days of use on a full charge.
As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby.
I'm always excited when I get a new power tool; I feel like a kid at Christmas. I can't wait to take it out of the box and start working. Of course, I need to be more restrained when testing a product, but my enthusiasm stays the same. The latest addition to my collection is the Black & Decker 18V Brushless Angle Grinder (available from Argos). Having previous experience with Black + Decker tools, I expected this device to be reliable.
Most premium headphones feature gyroscopes or motion detection systems that enable their wear detection capabilities. Wear detection pauses audio content when the headphones detect that you've removed them from your head, and resumes content when you put them back on. Apple's AirPods Max and Bose's QC Ultra 2 perform this feature best by pausing content when you remove the headphones and disconnecting them from your phone's Bluetooth. This allows you to switch audio from the headphones to your phone without pressing a button.
A solid gaming mouse should give you improved precision, faster response times, and just enough customization to make your entertainment experience better without overcomplicating things. The Razer Orochi V2 mobile wireless gaming mouse offers all that, and you can now grab it without paying the full price. On a regular day, this mouse would run you around $70, which is already quite affordable considering all the features you get.
"The thing we're making sure of is that it's a worthwhile enough performance upgrade [for a Steam Deck 2] to make sense as a standalone product," Griffais told IGN. "We're not interested in getting to a point where it's 20 or 30 or even 50 percent more performance at the same battery life. We want something a little bit more demarcated than that."
