Wireless charging pads are priced like gas stations — they’re all over the map. You can find no-name discount models for a couple of Hamiltons, but reputable and well-known brands price theirs at a premium. Mophie’s dual-coil pad, for example, sells for $70 at Apple. But right now, you can get the Mophie Dual Wireless …

AirPods have seen their share of sales in 2020, but until very recently, AirPods with the oh-so-convenient wireless charging case have stubbornly hovered around $170. Thankfully, we’re starting to see some deals. Not long ago, the AirPods with wireless charging case hit $140, its lowest price ever. I can’t offer you that deal this week, but right now you can …

There’s no shortage of smartwatches to choose from these days, both inexpensive — like the well-regarded $70 Amazfit Bip — and the not-so-inexpensive, like the Apple Watch Series 6, which starts at $399 and goes way up from there.

It’s important, especially if you frequently connect to public Wi-Fi networks or want to protect your privacy while surfing from home. And like flossing, it might seem complicated and troublesome, but it’s really easy to do. You have a lot of VPN choices, but …

I hate that we have to compare all true wireless earbuds to Apple’s AirPods, but in this case the comparison really is apt. Samsung’s noise-canceling Galaxy Buds Live are clearly going toe-to-toe with the AirPods Pro. Priced at $170, they’re significantly cheaper than the AirPods Pro’s $250 price tag. And right now that fraction is even smaller than usual: At …

Microsoft doesn’t put its office suite on sale very often. Microsoft 365 (which until recently was known as Office 365) includes all the usual office apps, an hour per month of Skype calls to landline phones, and a full terabyte of OneDrive storage. The Personal flavor is intended for a single user and usually costs $70 per year. But for …

If you have even a passing interest in drones, you probably know the name DJI, which is a market leader in drones of all shapes, sizes and prices. The Tello is a fun and friendly drone that was a collaboration between Ryze Tech and DJI, and the Tello Iron Man Edition is exactly what it sounds like. Usually $130, right …

If you’re an aspiring coder — or know someone who is — this is a good time to sign up for a year of Codecademy, which has beginning programmers covered with a wide assortment of tutorials on the essentials of programming. Codecademy usually costs $20 per month for an annual subscription, but right now Codecademy is offering 20% off when …

If it’s time to get Apple Watches for the whole family, AT&T might be about to make your day. For a limited time, if you buy one Apple Watch, you can get a second one for $200 off. The offer covers pretty much any model — the Apple Watch Series 3, Series 4 and Series 5, as well as the …
