Refurbished tech gear is old, worn, used, scuffed or just generally junk, right? Not always! Some refurbs are quite literally good as new, right down to the warranty. Case in point: Sonos is once again offering the refurbished Sonos Play:1 speaker for $99, a full $100 off the original price. It’s available in black only; the white model is sold …

Maybe we were just spoiled by all the big discounts during the holidays. Thankfully, there are still solid deals to be had if you look hard enough. We’ve gathered up the best TV …
