Go, go, go, the new Satechi Mac mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure is now available for purchase. Back in early January, Satechi – one of our favorite Apple accessory makers – officially revealed all of the details on its latest M4 Mac mini add-on and today marks your first chance to score one. While full availability doesn’t actually kick off until March, Satechi has a limited number of units up for purchase starting right now – they are likely to sell out quickly. 

Now just over 3 weeks out from the long-awaited release of Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom is set to host the next showcase for the game today. Likely to be our last good official look at the title (outside of a launch trailer) before it hits store shelves later this month, we are scheduled to get a new trailer for the game and likely much more that considering Capcom has set aside 15 minutes for Wilds alone. 

Nintendo Switch 2 is fast approaching with preorders likely to go live in just a few months time after the scheduled Direct showcase on April 2. But how many Switch 2 will there actually be? Will it be just as hard to get one at retail as the original Switch was? Well, probably, but the Nintendo President has recently made an official statement regarding how the company is going to be dealing with scalpers this time around. 

There, of course, is still a ton of questions regarding what secrets Nintendo’s new Switch 2 might still carry. Speculation has naturally run rampant across the interwebs since Nintendo’s officially revealed its next-generation console, but one topic that has consistently topped the list of debate has been those Mouse-Con – the potential of mouse-like functionality on the new Switch 2 Joy-Con. 

We have already detailed everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch window games. Just about everyone is expecting the new Mario Kart 9 (or whatever it might be called) to launch on day one, and potentially even as part of a console bundle. And we also spotted a retailer listing mentioning a new 3D Mario game as well as some kind of Zelda remake, but  a quite credible Switch 2 leaker with an equally as solid track record also seems to think the highly-anticipated Metal Gear remake will be one of the first game available on the new system. 

While the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone pre-order deals are still rolling, folks looking to also land a new smart TV from the brand ahead of the Super Bowl and March Madness are in luck as well. Samsung has now kicked of a wide-ranging smart TV Super Bowl 2025 sale delivering thousands in savings on its OLED and QLED 4K TV models as well as up to $1,300 off 2024 The Frame TVs with bonus goodies, and much more. The deals start from $250 shipped and you’ll find everything waiting right here with some additional details down below. 

We in fact just spotted a new Amazon all-time low on the base model AirPods 4 at $100, but Amazon is also bringing back Black Friday pricing on the latest 2024 Beats Solo Buds at $49.95 shipped. Regularly $80, you’ll now find this 38% price drop live on the Transparent Red, Matte Black, and Storm Gray colors. Now $10 under the previous Amazon deal price, today’s offer is matching the price we featured over Black Friday and in the lead up to Christmas last year. 

The official Satechi Amazon storefront is now offering its Quatro Wireless Power Bank with Apple Watch charger for $39.68 shipped after clipping the on-page coupon. This is a regularly $100 power bank that happens to be available at 50% off directly from Satechi right now as part of its wider workstation sale, but the Amazon listing is taking things even further with an over 60% price drop for one of the best deals we have ever tracked. This unit very rarely ever goes for less than $60. 

The new Spigen Nintendo Switch 2 clear case has surfaced. We have already featured the new fabric-wrapped Spigen Klasden Carrying Pouch for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as well as its Dual Grip controller-style case, and now the brand’s new Air Fit model has appeared on Amazon. There is going be an exceedingly massive number of cases and covers for Nintendo’s console as we approach launch later this year (and likely well before that), but Spigen’s tech accessories have always stood out for a few different reason, not the least of which being the fact that they tend to hit well above their quite affordable price tags. And we suspect the new all clear Air Fit case will be much of the same at $29.99 Prime shipped. 

Despite some burning questions still up in the air, we already know a fair amount about the Nintendo Switch, have a good idea of what the launch titles will be, as well as a good understanding of how much larger the actual console will be and how much it might cost. A potential release date leaked recently, and a retailer might have just leaked what the new Switch 2 game case sizes will be. 

The new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra have arrived with massive preorder deals at the ready, and it’s now time to scope out our favorite case options. Alongside the official offerings from Samsung, we have put together a collection of our favorite options, from the wild and highly customizable options in the new Dbrand collection to ultra-affordable models, Qi2 magnetic cases, protective military-style variants, and much more. Head below for a closer look at the best new Galaxy S25 cases.

Woot is now offering the best price ever on the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD remake at $44.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Regularly $60, this is $5 under our previous mention and 25% off the sticker price to deliver a new all-time low on the brand new release. By just about all accounts, this is another triumphant remake on the Switch library. It is by and large the definitive experience, bringing together all of the extra content that was added to the original from previous re-releases, delivering one of the best platformers of its type on the Switch. It ain’t easy, but at least you’ll have a load of bananas to recover and tough platforming action to master while you await the launch of Nintendo Switch 2. 

Amazon is now offering a couple of the latest colorways of the Beats Studio Pro over-ear headphones with a serious price drop today. Regularly $350, you can now land the Dune or Moon colorways down at $179.99 shipped. That’s a, frankly, giant $170 price drop that comes within $20 of the all-time low we have only tracked once before on these models. 

Back in December Nintendo unleashed a new, updated version of the original Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for iOS and Android, but this time with all of the bonus content and DLC action at no additional charge. Smartphone games riddled with in-app purchases have been a tough sell for some folks and a non-starter for others – Nintendo is no stranger to this backlash, so when it decided to release an effectively complete version of its pocketable Animal Crossing experience it was a breath of fresh air to some degree. But we are touching down today to remind folks that the starter price of $9.99 on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete on iOS and Android is about to be no more – this one will jump up to the full $20 price by day’s end. 

Let’s take a look at some of the best Samsung Galaxy S25 screen protector options out there for folks before deliveries start landing on doorsteps across the country. Samsung’s new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra are still in the preorder phase and there are still massive price drops at the ready, but they can still be a hefty investment and ensuring that display stays scratch-free might be good idea for more than a few users. While some folks, understandably, like to get directly up close an personal with their new device, eschewing the extra protection a thin sheet of tempered glass can deliver to a brand new handset, there are others that just can’t help but need an extra layer of protection (you know who you are). Head below for a closer look at the best screen protectors for the new Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup.

Apple unleashed its new AirPods 4 this past September and one of our favorite leather accessory makers has now released its new cases. MUJJO has been a favorite around here for more than a couple years now – it makes some of the better leather iPhone cases (here’s our review of the iPhone 16 models) and that follows through to the rest of its leather add-ons. Now available for purchase in three color options at $39, head below for a closer look at the new leather Echelon AirPods 4 cases. 

Update: Woot has now dropped the price on physical copies of the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD to $44.99 Prime shipped – this is a new all-time low. 

GameStop has launched a notable console game sale with a number of notable titles on PS5, Xbox, and Switch at $24.99 – or $22.49 for Pro members). Some standouts include titles like NHL 25, FC 25, and College Football 25, but we are also seeing one of the best prices ever on both Super Mario RPG and Visions of Mana down at the same $24.99 each. These are $60 titles seeing deep 58% price drops to deliver the lowest prices we have tracked on both of them. Visions of Mana is still up at $45 on Amazon and the lowest we have tracked before today on Super Mario RPG is $30. Browse through all of the titles in today’s GameStop sale right here before titles begin to jump back up in price or sell out. 

FlashFinder is the latest gadget we have come across to implement Apple’s Find My tech. We have seen Find My come pre-loaded into everything from wallet tracking cards to carabiner clips, wall chargers, and more. But this is the first time we have seen it come in the form of a miniature, keychain-ready flashlight. And we have now had a chance to test it out in hand – head below for our hands-on impressions.

What is the Nintendo Switch 2 release date? While there are still a number of unanswered questions about Nintendo’s highly-anticipated 2025 release of Switch 2, perhaps the one we are eagerly awaiting most is the release date. The launch titles, if those controllers can actually be used as Mouse-Con, the actual price, and so on – these are all at the top of list for sure, but when will Switch 2 actually release? A recent retail listing might have just let the cat out of the bag. 

The Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra preorders are in full swing with serious price drops at the ready alongside a chance at a FREE set of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and more. While the official Samsung S25 cases are also now live and at 50% off to boot, you won’t find a full-grain leather Galaxy S25 case there. While we are certainly proponents of environment-friendly vegan leathers – you will find some of those from Samsung as well as in the new OtterBox collection, some folks love their full-grain real leather accessories. While it would seem the pickings for a case of this nature for the new S25 is relatively small from the major brands, we have spotted some options worth consideration. 

The new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphones are now up for preorder with huge deals and an exclusive $50 credit. We have also already detailed the new S25 case collections from brands like Spigen, OtterBox, and UAG, but we are now tracking 50% price drops on the official Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra collection as well. Alongside the new phones Samsung has issued a series of updated cases for the new handsets and the deals are no flying from just $12.50. Details below. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning. Nintendo Switch 2 launch games and console size details, fresh batch of new Galaxy S25 cases and wallets, early hands-on impressions of LaCie’s new blazing-fast Thunderbolt 5 Rugged SSD Pro, and more are all waiting below.

We have already spent some time both securing our readers an exclusive $50 credit and detailing the ways to score the very best deals on Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra preorders. These, as I’m sure you know, can be very expensive smartphones, and we are doing everything we can to ensure you score a deep price drop during the preorder phase. On top of the up to $900 instant Samsung credit with trade-ins as well as our exclusive $50 price drop you can only score through our links to the Samsung site, the bonus credit available right now on all models, but especially the S25 Ultra is yielding some serious cash discounts as well as massive price drops on bonus add-on gear (and this includes Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds 3 Pro as well as its latest smartwatches). 

We have already detailed some hints floating around on the Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles, but it looks as though we could also be seeing a major influx of Xbox games as well as titles from Ubisoft and Konami too. Not only does it appear as though multi-platform games – that might have previously skipped the Switch in favor of the more powerful platforms – will be landing on Switch 2, but Xbox’s Phil Spencer was recently caught teasing Microsoft’s plans to release what sounds like more than just a few Xbox games on Switch 2. 

The new UAG Samsung Galaxy S25 case collection has arrived, featuring its usual slate of ultra-rugged and military-inspired aesthetics. Much like we have seen from other brands thus far, UAG is also implementing onboard magnetics for add-on accessories and the new Qi2 charging prowess of the Samsung S25 lineup. Unlike other brands, the UAG’s design sensibilities make them some of the more unique options for folks looking for that angular, futuristic, and military-like vibe. Now available for purchase directly on the UAG site, you can get a closer look and more details below. 

After what ended up being quite a fun Xbox Developer Direct showcase yesterday, with the debut reveal of NINJA GAIDEN 4 and the release of the NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black remake, not to mention a good long look at the new DOOM: The Dark Ages, the Xbox Lunar New Year sale is now in full swing. The all-digital sale is serving up over 850 games and DLC pack deals at up to 50% off starting as low as $1. You’ll find all of the latest EA sports titles, GTA V (I know everyone has this already, but just in case), Atomic Heart, COD titles, Halo The Master Chief Collection, Dragon Age Veilguard, Star Wars Outlaws, and much more. Check out all of yesterday’s gameplay footage from the first Xbox Developer Direct of the year right here, and head below for more of today’s best game deals. 

The new OtterBox case collection for the new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra has landed. The brand has been a mainstay around here in the case game for many years, and for good reason – it makes solid and reliable solutions with an ever-growing expanse of options ranging from the ultra protective through to more fun and intricate designs alongside its latest cactus leather treatments. But this year, much like we have seen from other brands, it too will be offering a range of magnetic fast charging Qi2 certified options. Scope out the highlights below. 

Update: The new 2TB model LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 is up for purchase on Amazon with a launch deal at $329.99 shipped, down from the regular $400 list price.

It’s time for a look as the next-generation of portable SSD tech – the new LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 with Thunderbolt 5 and break-neck speeds. While not the very first portable Thunderbolt 5 SSD out of the gate from one of our favorite brands – that nod goes to the OWC Envoy Ultra, the new LaCie is certainly one of the first new premium models sporting the same date transfer protocol as those ports on your new M4 Mac mini or M4 MacBook Pro (among other things). While the new LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 did just arrive in our offices, we do have some early hands-on impressions to share. 

Samsung Galaxy S25 preorder deals are coming in hot today with as much as $1,250 in savings on your new device. The brand officially debuted its new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship smartphones today with preorders kicking off now alongside straight up cash deals and massive instant trade-in credits, but perhaps most important of all, our exclusive links will deliver a bonus $50 Samsung credit with your purchase – click through any of the links in this post to receive the credit while preordering the new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, or the new Galaxy S25 Ultra. 

A couple weeks ago Xbox announced the first Developer Direct of the year, and that day is today. Zeroing-in on major upcoming Xbox releases from some of its closest third-party development partners, the Developer Direct showcase is set to give us a look at more than a few major upcoming releases, most of which likely landing this year, and it all starts very soon. 

The new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra preorders are now live with some serious price drops at the ready alongside our exclusive $50 price drops. But if you want to take advantage of the Qi2 action on the new Samsung phones properly, you’ll need a case that officially supports the magnetic charging action and the new Spigen Galaxy S25 lineup is here. The brand makes what are easily some of the very best cases for the latest smartphones with super-affordable price tags, and we are already tracking some light launch deals on Amazon with models starting from just $17 Prime shipped. Scope them out below. 

As we have already detailed previously, Samsung is now offering some wild deals on preorders for its brand new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, on top of the exclusive $50 credit using our links will yield. Even Amazon and Best Buy are throwing around up to $200 in FREE gift cards on the latest Samsung flagships. While you won’t get the bonus credit we have secured for you outside of the Samsung site, Best Buy is now offering some serious up to $950 trade-in values for folks looking to flip an S24 for the new models. 

After we saw major price hikes across the portable SSD space in 2024, and finding myself in need of at least one more modestly-sized external storage solution, the PNY RP60 kept coming back up for a few reasons. But the most glaring details that had me leaning in its direction was the fact that it was a relatively new option from a relatively affordable storage brand – the RP60 is indeed one of the least pricey 1TB portable SSDs rated for speeds up to 2,000MB/s right now from a trusted brand. Head below for our hands-on impressions.  

Samsung has just taken the stage at its latest Unpacked event to officially reveal the new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphones and the preorder deals are already live! While the deals we have already detailed directly on the Samsung site are incredibly enticing – you can get up to $300 in storage upgrades alongside a bonus $50 credit via our links to use towards accessories, on top of massive trade-in value, Amazon is also getting in on the action now too. 

Apple’s Find my tech has made its way into key organizers and passport wallets, wall chargers and wallet cards (among other things), and I’m loving it. We also just happen to spot this relatively new FlashFinder Keychain Flashlight on Amazon with onboard Find My tech alongside a notable launch deal down at $23.79 – clip the on-page coupon. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This unit landed on Amazon for the first time a few weeks ago at $28 and is now at the lowest price we have seen yet. 

What are the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games? We aren’t exactly sure just yet beyond what will likely be Mario Kart 9. But we did spot an official Nintendo retail listing pointing at a new 3D Mario game, Zelda remakes, and more. Scope out the details below.

If you haven’t picked up a copy of Super Mario RPG yet, Target has it on sale for $30 with free shipping for Target 360 members or in orders over $35 (you can also opt for free in-store pickup where available). This is a regularly $60 title seeing a solid 50% price drop to deliver the lowest we can find – it is currently up at full price via Best Buy and is no longer available at the $33 we were tracking in the ongoing Woot sale over the last few months. While at this point everyone is really just waiting for Switch 2 to land and what will likely be the official reveal of the new Mario Kart 9, you’re going to need some games to tide you over until the April Direct, pre-order phase following that, and the likely release come sometime this summer (here’s the latest on how much the Switch 2 might cost) – the Super Mario RPG remake is a great way to do just that, especially at 50% off. 

How much will Nintendo Switch 2 cost? What will the price be on the launch bundle? Let’s dive in. The new Nintendo console is officially inbound and likely this summer, but what will the new Switch 2 price be? While we do know a fair amount about the new console – backwards compatibility, likely Mario Kart 9 launch title, magnetic Joy-Con, larger display/form-factor, and more – there are also a ton of questions remaining. Can the Joy-Con also be used like a mouse? What is the actual Switch 2 release date? and, perhaps most importantly, what is the Nintendo Switch 2 price going to be? 

The new Samsung Galaxy S25 is inbound and very soon now. We have been covering a steady string of rumors on the new features, launch dates, and more, but we know now the new handset will be officially unveiled during a January 22 Unpacked event and the Samsung Reserve campaign is now in full effect, offering folks a no-strings attached FREE $50 credit just for dropping down an email address on this page. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning. This week we have some new UGREEN tech, in the form of its latest Apple Find My wallet tracker card and its new MagSafe aluminum SSD enclosure, joining a hands-on look at the Roborock Qrevo Curv and, of course, all of the details on the official reveal of the new Nintendo Switch 2.

One of the best and most useful items I have added to my EDC over the last year has been a Find My wallet tracker card. I don’t want to have to choose one of the wallets that have Find My built-in as I still like to carry a traditional card holder in my pocket, as opposed to a bifold or a MagSafe solution, and a Tiny tracker car is the perfect way to add the Apple location tech to my, or anyone’s, preferred traditional wallet. While I absolutely love the Nomad Tracking Card, there are more affordable solutions out there and we just spotted the latest from UGREEN – it also happens to be seeing a sweet launch deal on Amazon right now. 

The countdown to finally bring home the new Nintendo Switch 2 is officially on. While we all anxiously await the early April Nintendo Direct for more details on the upcoming console, Nintendo is already planning some early hands-on events and anyone has a shot to get it on the action. While these early hands-on looks are sometimes only for members of the press, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 experience is actually open to all and registration starts this afternoon. 

Update: While Samsung is still offering the $100 credit detailed below. Best Buy is also now getting in on the action – “sign up now to be among the first to discover Samsung’s upcoming 2025 TVs and audio devices and get a $100 credit to use on your qualifying purchase.”

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is on the way, Samsung is offering folks a FREE $50 credit just for dropping their email down, and now it is doing the same for its upcoming smart TV and home theater lineup. All you have to do is drop your name and email down to secure a FREE $100 pre-order credit – and remember you don’t actually have to end up pre-ordering anything, this is just in case you do. 

The Spigen Klasden Carrying Pouch specifically Nintendo Switch 2 has already surfaced on Amazon. Nintendo finally unveiled its next-generation console this morning and it’s only a matter of time before the internet is flooded with accessories for the new console, but it appears Spigen is one of the first options out of the gate. It is now available for purchase on Amazon at $34.99 and hints at a larger form-factor compared to the original Switch.

It finally happened folks…the Switch 2 has arrived and the countdown to release starts now. Nintendo finally unveiled the first look trailer for the next-generation console this morning, as you likely already know, promising what sounds like a complete rundown of its feature set in early April. But we can already deduce a number of details about the console, the Switch 2 launch title(s), as well as a launch window, among other things. Head below for everything we know about Nintendo Switch 2 as of right now.
