Welcome to the weekend. Saturday is a good time for running errands, which makes me wonder if your phone is equipped to leave the house. Here are a few mobile deals to make sure it’s properly equipped. None of these will rock your world, but if you’re looking to save a few dollars on a …

When it comes to gaming, speakers are second best. To really immerse yourself in the game, you need to wrap the sound around your ears with headphones. An integrated mic for multiplayer gaming is also table stakes for a gaming headset, but if you can get extras like LED lighting, well, that’s gravy. Most gaming headsets tend to start around …

As Harrison Ford’s character tried to prove in the woefully underappreciated The Mosquito Coast, the one thing that defines modern civilization is our ability to create ice. And while many refrigerators have integrated ice makers, you might still be living with a model that requires you to fill freezer trays with water, like a caveman. If that sounds like you, …

It’s a new month, so presumably, it’s time for a new sale at Best Buy, a retailer that has more sales than a six-mast schooner (and yes, I am aware that pun doesn’t work because sail is spelled differently). This time around, Best Buy is having a three-day sale that started Friday night and runs through the end of today. …

When it comes to power banks, the smaller the better, so it’s hard to beat Aukey’s PB-N83, one of the smallest 10,000-mAh models we’ve ever seen. It’s a little over an inch thick, but fits comfortably on a credit card. Combine that with the fact that it has dual charging ports — an 18-watt Power Delivery USB-C connection and a …

With my parents scheduled to get the vaccine, the world feels tantalizingly close to opening up again. That means I’m thinking about some long-overdue trips. If you’re in the same boat, then you might be in the market for upgrading your old luggage. The timing is good, because right now you can save 15% on items sitewide at Paravel when …

With apologies to William Shakespeare, I would contend that wallets are the window to a man’s soul. Wallets come in all shapes, sizes and varieties, from traditional leather trifolds to minimalist credit card holders made from paracord or aluminum. In CNET’s roundup of the best minimalist wallets, Justin Jaffe name-checked Dango as a favorite. I personally own Dango’s M1 Maverick …

There are some obsessions that defy explanation. Why, for example, own a tabletop or wall-mounted weather station when you already have access to a weather forecast via your watch, phone, tablet, smart speaker and computer? Because weather is cool. (No, that’s not supposed to be a pun.) I’ve had some sort of Oregon Scientific weather station in my home for …

This is typically a pretty uneventful time of year for big sales on tech, but this is precisely when Lenovo has decided to mark down gear sitewide, with discounts of up to 70% on laptops and accessories. The biggest deals appear to be on older models, but if you don’t need the bleeding edge in processor speeds (and you probably …

Noise-canceling headphones have become so plentiful — and so good — that there’s hardly any reason to buy headphones without active noise canceling anymore. But before you plunk down $549 on Apple’s AirPods Max, know that there are many more affordable (and arguably better) alternatives. Case in point: Phiaton’s snazzy 900 Legacy headphones usually list for $250 and offer some …
