Howdy, cheeps! I’m on the road this week, but I’m leaving you with a rerun of one of my favorite deals — which I last shared almost exactly a year ago. Regular readers know that I have some anger issues when it comes to Microsoft Office. I won’t dive too deeply into the reasons, but here’s an example: My poor, …

What’s better than one Bluetooth speaker? Two of them, of course, linked together for true stereo sound and robust enough to really fill your living room. That leaves out the majority of brick-style speakers, which tend to be small and single — fine for casual listening but not really audiophile-friendly. Which brings us to today’s deal. For a limited time, …

The TV deals just keep coming. And when I spot a good one, I gotta share. (I also like sharing CNET’s roundup of the best TVs for 2019.) This deal? Damn good.

If you’re an iPhone owner and you’re thinking about getting a smartwatch, you have to at least consider the Apple Watch. Sure, it’s crazy expensive, and there are affordable alternatives like the Amazfit Bip (currently on sale for just $67.49). Thankfully, the Apple Watch does occasionally go on sale, dipping from crazy expensive to I-can-maybe-swing-that. Today, for example, and while …

Sure, you’ll likely end up with a higher price and less overall storage space than you’d get from a system with a mechanical drive, but trust me when I say it’s worth the trade-off. Why? Performance.

It was about a year ago that I first encountered the Amazfit Bip, which at $80 (down from $100) seemed way too good to be true. An always-on screen, a heart-rate monitor, built-in GPS and a battery good for weeks, not days? Yes please. Since then, I’ve shared numerous deals, the lowest being around $61. And I even drew the …
