There’s a saying here in Michigan (and elsewhere, I’m sure): If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. Allow me to tweak that for today’s purposes: If there’s an Amazon device that’s not on sale, wait five minutes. Like clockwork, Amazon cuts prices on Echo speakers, Fire TV Sticks and the like — often …

I’ve been in the tech biz longer than I care to admit, yet I still manage to come across gadgets I didn’t know existed. Case in point: today’s deal. It looks like a mobile charger, but it’s actually a portable hand warmer. (Also: a mobile charger!) As someone whose hands tend to be cold all winter long, I’m eager to …

By stacking a pair of discounts, Amazon is currently selling the new 2019 version of the Apple MacBook Pro with a 13-inch display, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for $1,250. (It lists for $1,399.99 on the product page, but the lower price should appear at checkout.) That’s not just a good deal, but close to the best price we’ve …

I have mad love for the Oculus Quest standalone VR headset, but at $399 it’s still out of reach for many virtual reality-curious people. Its predecessor, however, is more affordable — and now back to its Black Friday 2019 sale price. For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon is offering the Oculus Go VR headset (32GB) for $149. …

Bose is a good company to consider when looking for last-minute gifts for the music junkies on your list. While this year’s Bose holiday sales didn’t exactly bring out the biggest discounts, a number of deals are still worth highlighting, whether you’re buying for yourself or others. Bose SoundLink Micro wireless speaker is $30 off Bose’s SoundLink Micro, one of …

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon. Ground zero for new TVs is CES 2020 this January in Las Vegas. It has scads of gadgets from PCs to phones to smart doorbells to robots, but TVs always steal the show. No matter how big and gaudy those new …

DJI, best known for drones like the new Mavic Mini, released its first action cam earlier in the year, the Osmo Action. If you’re looking for a feature-packed mountable camera that can compete with GoPro’s top cameras, this is it — and you can get it at the all-time low price.  Amazon is selling it for $248 currently, well below its …

Virtual reality‘s promise has always been at least a little enticing: Strap on a headset that puts a screen so close to your eyes it tricks your brain into thinking you’re piloting a spaceship on the other side of the galaxy, or deep-sea diving with a blue whale, or taking lightsaber lessons from Darth Vader. But sales since the latest …

For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the Fitbit Versa 2 was selling for $150, or $50 off its list price of $200. We thought that was a good deal for this Editors’ Choice award-winning hybrid fitness tracker and smartwatch. But now it’s down to $130, or $70 off at various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Fitbit’s own site. Needless …

I can’t say it often enough: Cheap phones come to those who wait. Well, in this case, cheap-er phones, but still. On countless occasions I’ve pointed to Samsung Galaxy models that see significant price drops six to 12 months after release. iPhone prices are slower to lower; the best deals tend to be on refurbished models. But not today. For …
