Air conditioning doesn’t solve every summertime heat problem. Sometimes you just need a fan to push some air past you, whether it’s while you sit at your desk, lounge on the sofa or wander around outside sweltering under the angry sun. A personal fan might be just the ticket; you can get one with its …

Samsung’s latest wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Live, haven’t exactly been the best-kept secret. Images of the kidney-bean-shaped buds leaked three weeks ago on Twitter and we pretty much saw the full monty when Samsung updated its Galaxy Wear app for iOS and Android a little ahead of schedule. The only things we didn’t know by that point were a …

Update: I’ve heard from a Cheapskate who purchased this projector that the specs are, let’s say, somewhat inflated on the Amazon product page. According to the reader, this is a 720p native device, not a 1080p projector. I’d say that changes the calculus substantially, and I would probably not recommend the projector with that in mind.  Perhaps you saw that the …

Google unveiled the new Pixel 4A on Monday, a phone that’s about $50 cheaper than its closest competitors and packed with one of the best cameras money can currently buy — for sure, the best camera on a $350 phone. You can preorder your Pixel 4A right now, so it makes sense you might want to order a case at …

Update: Looks like most of these have sold out. As of Aug. 7, there are only a few cases still in stock: iPhone XR, iPhone X/XS and the iPhone XS Max. Yes, of course your iPhone can play games. But for a moment, imagine an iPhone case that looks like a Game Boy — and actually works like one, complete with a …

Broken-record time: A good soundbar will elevate your TV- and movie-watching experience like few other accessories. Ah, but which one? Here’s a good option at a particularly good price. For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon once again has the Polk Audio Command Bar for $199, a savings of $100. There are cheaper soundbars, to be sure, but this …

Welcome to the Island of Misfit Deals. For a limited time, and while supplies last, you can get a Misfit Vapor X (42mm) Android Wear watch for $39.99 in your choice of colors. Original price: $279.99. Although it’s not expressly stated anywhere, these are obviously discontinued, clearance items — and that’s a big win for you. See it at Misfit Also …

I love Bluetooth speakers that have a vintage look, whether they’re dressed up like a prewar radio, hi-fi system or ’70s-era guitar amplifier. Electrohome’s Birmingham Bluetooth speaker is similarly retro, styled to look like a classic Fender guitar amp. But here’s the twist: It has a 1/4-inch input for your guitar, meaning it can do double duty as an actual …

No computer ever seems to have enough ports, which is why USB hubs are a thing. But forget about those weakling four-port hubs; I’ve got what might be the ultimate USB hub, especially if you are interested in running multiple monitors. It’s the Aukey 12-in-1 USB-C hub. And while it usually costs $70, right now you can get the Aukey …

Google just announced the Pixel 4A, a new budget phone that’s a serious contender against the likes of the iPhone SE and Samsung Galaxy A51. For starters, those models sell for $399; the Pixel 4A starts at $349. The latter also offers perhaps the best camera in any budget phone, period. That’s according to Lynn La’s hot-off-the-presses Google Pixel 4A …
