Upgrade your MacBook’s webcam with this $40 HD option from Aukey

$40

AUKEY Innovate US via Amazon offers its 1080p FHD Webcam for $39.99 shipped when the on-page coupon is clipped. Regularly $50, today’s deal represents the best we’ve tracked in months and just the second all-time. With more and more of us working from home, having a full HD webcam in tow isn’t a bad idea. That’s particularly true if you’re rocking a MacBook with one of the putrid built-in cameras. This model offers full 1080p feeds thanks to the 2MP sensor. It connects via USB-A and mounts directly to your display or MacBook. Rated 4.2/5 stars by nearly 2,000 Amazon customers.

Now that your webcam is all set up, let’s talk about cable management. Keep things nice and tidy with a 2-pack of Nite Ize Gear Ties for $3. Taking a few dollars of your savings and leverage these nifty ties to keep your cables in order. Rated 4.7/5 stars by over 3,500 Amazon reviewers.
