mophie just launched its new 3-in-1 MagSafe travel charger, adding Apple Watch fast charging into the mix. But if you don’t need the fastest refuel times for your on-the-go setup, 9to5Toys is partnering with ZAGG in order to set up three lucky winners with one of the company’s original 15W portable MagSafe chargers.

Last month, mophie refreshed one of its most popular chargers with support for some new specs. While not all too much has changed, I’ve been using the new mophie 3-in-1 MagSafe travel charger for the past few weeks and have been in love with its newfound Apple Watch fast charging and 15W tech. And with the busiest travel season of the year around the corner, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Woot is making Apple Pencil 2 even more affordable today thanks to an open-box sale. The flagship iPad stylus now sells for $70.99 Prime shipped, with a $6 delivery fee applying in any case. This is well below the usual $129 price tag and even offering a sizable price cut over a new condition model – even though it’s on sale for $90 at Amazon right now. The savings are the best we’ve ever seen at $58 off, and today’s offer also beats our previous Black Friday mention by an extra $9. Head below for more.

Today we’re getting an official look at an upcoming addition to LEGO’s Botanical Collection. The flower-themed sets have only gotten more popular over the past few years, and now we’re getting a set that is going to be particularly enticing for romantic endeavorers – at least if your sweetheart likes LEGO! Launching in January, there will be an actual Bouquet of Roses (10328) to assemble or gift.

Amazon is now offering the first chance to save on the new Native Union Fast GaN Charger PD 140W. This recent debut just hit the scene earlier this fall to mix up the GaN charger market with its more environmentally-friendly build made of 90% recycled plastics. Now it’s on sale, dropping down to $116.99 shipped after you’ve clipped the on-page coupon. This is down from the usual $130 price tag and marking the best discount yet – as you’d expect from the only offer so far. We break down what to expect below the fold or over in our launch coverage.

Amazon is now offering the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 for $399.99 shipped. This new release just began shipping back in October, and is now on sale for its third time. This $40 price cut from its usual $440 going rate is matching the all-time low and offering an elevated 256GB of storage for the same price you’d pay on the 128GB model. On top of wowing us with the solid balance of price and performance, the ASUS CX34 also stands out as one of the first models in the Chromebook Plus lineup. Our hands-on review takes a bit of a closer look at the whole experience, and we break down the features below the fold.

Amazon is now offering the Level Bolt Smart Lock for $141.96 shipped after you’ve clipped the on-page coupon. Normally fetching $199, this $47 discount is the third-best chance to save all year. It’s certainly the best of the season so far, dropping well below previous $160 mentions throughout Black Friday and Thanksgiving Week. This is within $7 of the all-time low and the best price in several months. Level Bolt stands out from all of the other models on the market, thanks to its status as being the Invisible Smart Lock that hides all of the motorized deadbolt features out of sight.

Better than Black Friday pricing has arrived across Apple’s entire selection of official iPhone 15 cases. Alongside just seeing some of the first chances to save period, Amazon is now dropping prices even lower than we saw last month. You’ll be able to save across the whole lineup of first-party silicone styles, clear cases, and even FineWoven covers. Deals start at $33.75 shipped thanks to select on-page coupons, which make all-time lows even better. Each of the cases in the sale come backed by an official seal of approval from Apple with the kind of quality you’d expect from a first-party release. There’s a built-in MagSafe ring on each of the styles, too. Below the fold we break down all of the different styles included in the sale.

If you were waiting to see whether the Black Friday pricing on Google’s latest Pixel 8 series smartphones was really the best of the season, new deals are now live to solidify just how goods these discounts are. Right now on Amazon, you can score the unlocked Google Pixel 8 Pro for $799 shipped. This is $200 off the usual $999 going rate and matching the all-time low as only the second-ever discount. Also available at Best Buy. It’s the same price cut we saw last month through Thanksgiving Week, and should be the best price for putting it under the tree. We walked away impressed in our hands-on review, and further detail the experience below the fold. There’s also a discount on Google Pixel 8!

Today’s the big day where Fortnite announces what’s next from the hot battle royal game. And it looks like the battle royal part of it is taking a backseat with three new game modes that look to expand just how you can actually play Epic’s popular title. But we only care about the LEGO collaboration, which is joining Fortnite as a “survival crafting” game.

After already getting a look at some of the more popular themes like LEGO Star Wars, Technic, and Marvel, there’s now a whole bunch of other 2024 sets being revealed for the first time. Including Creator, City, DREAMZzz, and Ninjago sets, we break down what’s new coming in 2024.

We’ll break down pricing below the fold on each individual service, but the savings shared between them falls to the freebies. Each one includes a perk of your choice, including a $200 Amazon gift card, one of the 3rd Gen Echo Show 10 smart displays, or a $100 Verizon gift card.

Better than Black Friday pricing is rolling out today to start off December on the just-released Microsoft Surface Laptop 2. Courtesy of Amazon, the new release drops to $2,042.99 shipped.

Not only are you looking at one of the first discounts so far, but today’s offer is the second-best yet at within $20 of the low. The base model wasn’t on sale for Black Friday, either. We break down just what exactly is new this time around with the second-generation laptop in our launch coverage. Then head below for the full scoop on the elevated configurations.

Throughout Thanksgiving Week, Best Buy members were privy to an $899 deal on the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. But only if you paid for one of the shopping subscriptions.

Each one is down from $1,099 and matching the best price we’ve seen. It’s $50 under the other readily-available Black Friday price open to all, as well. Head below for more.

Earlier this fall, I reviewed the new Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe. It’s been my go-to since that initial hands-on look, and by far my favorite release of the year for your iPhone 15 or StandBy setup on a nightstand or desk. There was just one problem – it was so good that it sold out. Now the MagSafe charger is back in stock and delivering before Christmas.

Analogue today is announcing two final restocks before Christmas. If you’ve been looking to pick up one of the popular Analogue Pocket handhelds for yourself or as the perfect gift ahead of the holidays, another chance is right around the corner…

Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $25. You can shop the entire collection of price cuts right here, or just head below for some of our favorite releases.

The LEGO Group may very well have just saved the best sets of the year for last, as December introduces three new creations.

There’s also a collection of brick-built botanicals in the Tiny Plants kit and more.

Amazon has a discount today that should make sure 2023 is the final year you’ll be stuck paying your ISP any hardware rental fees. Right now, you can score the ARRIS Surfboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 modem for $159 shipped. This is 20% off the usual $200 price tag and marking the best price in months. It comes within $21 of the all-time low from back in June, and is the third-best price of the year. This might be a bigger upfront purchase, but with Gigabit Internet plans charging you over $15 per month just to rent a modem, this will pay for itself in no time. Head below for a full rundown of what to expect.

Today we’re getting a first look at a pair of upcoming LEGO gift with purchase sets debuting ahead of the holidays.

This time looking to simplify the experience even further, the new UniFi Express lives up to its name by combining router and Wi-Fi access point features into a single box. And in Ubiquiti’s words, all you have to do is add Ethernet and you’ll be up and running for $149.

The Insta360 Link is one of our favorite webcams here at 9to5Toys, so much so that we deemed it royalty amongst everything else on the market back when we first took a hands-on look. That kind of declaration makes today’s discount at Amazon all the more enticing, with the Insta360 Link dropping to $254.99 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $300, with today’s offer clocking in at 15% off. It’s matching the all-time low and is still one of the first times we’ve seen it on sale – let alone at the best price ever. We break down the whole experience below the fold, but also over in our hands-on review.
