The 4-pack has also dropped from $100 down to $69.99, mathcing the Amazon all-time to yield a price at $17.50 per tracker.
Marshall’s speakers and headphones have always stood out from the pack with the retro-inspired guitar amp vibes. While there have some newer releases, like the smart Google speakers in the JBL Authentics line, that have a similar sort of approach aesthetically, the Marshall gear still tends to largely stand on its own in this regard. And today, the brand is ready to introduce two new models to the lineup in the form of the latest Emberton III and ultra-portable Willen II. Pre-orders are kicking off today and you can get a closer look at the new speakers down below.

Burton Goods makes some of our favorite leather Apple Watch bands. They are in fact, the absolute best I have personally tried out without spending hundreds on a single band. While they certainly aren’t the lowest-priced options out there, they are artisan-crafted straps made from premium materials and they drop well below the MSRP with today’s 30% discount.

Today we are taking hands-on look at Oakywood’s latest addition to its desk organization lineup, the modular drawers. Made to perfectly tuck under its Desk Shelf-meets monitor riser, or be used on their own, they were officially unveiled to the public at the top of the month, and after giving them a test run for a few weeks, I’m ready to weigh in.

Deals on Nintendo’s handheld-only Switch Lite don’t pop up that often, and perhaps even less so on the Coral colorway. But Amazon is now offering the compact Nintendo Switch Lite down at $170.98 shipped. Regularly $199, and likely to not last long at a price like this, it is now at the lowest we have tracked via Amazon on this colorway. It might not be the sweet new shimmering golden Hyrule edition set for release alongside the new Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom later this year, but it will still play all of the same games, is now on sale, and that one might be near impossible to actually get your hands on at MSRP.
Just after seeing a solid price drop on the Pong model, Amazon is now offering theArcade1Up Mortal Kombat Head-to-Head Arcade Table down at $299.99 shipped. This is an originally $700 cocktail table-style arcade machine with all the finishing moves you could ever ask for that is now up to $400 off. Having said that, it more realistically has been selling for $400 on Amazon as of late when it’s in stock, and has now dropped another $100 for the lowest price we can find.

Best Buy has now started up its annual summer game sale that will see the retailer offer up one game per day, for the next 10 days, at $10 pop. While aren’t exactly sure what will be on deck through the 10-day event, the first title has arrived and that means you can land a physical copy of Madden NFL 24 on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S down at $10. Shipping is free for My Best Buy members (free to sign up). This was a regularly $70 when it launched last year and now fetches something closer to $30 – you can’t even find it on Amazon outside of third party sellers right now. While the new Madden NFL 25 is now up for pre-order at Amazon and Best Buy with aFREE $10 gift card attached, if you haven’t grabbed a copy of NFL 24 yet you’re likely not going to spend $70 on the new one anyway. And at just $10, it might be worth throwing in your collection just to give it a go and for some multiplayer action when friends over. This deal could sell out at any minute.
With the new M4 MacBook Pros slated to land this fall, we are now seeing a fantastic price drops on the current M3 models that will remain a compelling option well into the future if you ask me. After seeing a new low land on the entry-level 14-inch model with 8GB of RAM at $1,299 yesterday, Amazon has now dropped the price on the elevated variant with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD down to $1,699 shipped in both colorways. This is a regularly $1,999 machine that is now seeing straight up $300 price drop to deliver the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. This deal is also matched at Best Buy as part of its weekend Apple sale event.
Best Buy has now kicked off another one of its weekend sales and this time it’s all Apple. These Best Buy weekend events hit outside of its Daily Deals and the ongoing back to school sale to highlight a range of products and we are talking 100% Apple gear here, ranging from up to $500 in savings on MacBook Pro models alongside price matches on many of the MacBook Air deals we featured in our back to school roundup from Amazon, the return of $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 9, Beats, Mac mini, and even HomePod.

Nintendo is now offering the latest Prince of Persia The Lost Crown on the eShop down at $23.99 from the usual $40 price tag. This digital copy is the lowest price we can find right now, but if you want the physical boxed edition, Amazon has it down at $24.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35 right now. The current Amazon price is matching the lowest we have tracked there. This is Ubisoft’s latest take on the classic Prince of Persia IP that began way back in the late ‘80s. It presents a brand new story alongside more action-focused gameplay and combat across a range of biomes as players explore a “cursed Persian-inspired world filled with larger-than-life landmarks.” Head below for more.

Now available for purchase with a launch deal, head below for a closer look at the new 240W 8-in-1 Anker Prime Charging Station.
Troubadour and MUJJO are well known around these parts for delivering high-quality accessories for Apple gear and other tech.

One of our top 10 deals for Prime Day 2024 went to the Apple M3 MacBook Air at $150 off, and now several configurations are back starting from $850! Alongside some 15-incher models we will detail down below, one of the most sought-after configurations in the lineup is the 13-inch variant with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB internal SSD – this model is now marked down to $1,249.98 shipped in all four colors courtesy of Amazon. Regularly $1,499, this is $149 off and within $1 off the all-time low Prime Day price. This deal also joins the 8GB variant that is also within $1 of the Amazon all-time low at $849.98 shipped – this is $149 off and just $50 above the sale price we are tracking on the previous-generation M2 model. The 16GB variant is easily one of the best options in the lineup for most folks, one might even argue this is the best current-generation Apple laptop available for folks that don’t need the pro-grade machines – but the 8GB is just as nice at a price like this unless you’re hungry for the extra RAM.
We feature plenty of unique and useful chargers around here, but it’s not often we see them in the form of this new Anker Prime Charging Station with an onboard LCD display. The heads-up, almost dashboard-like unit delivers on all of the usual charging prowess you would expect from a device like this, but with some serious output wattage to support even your most power hungry of gear alongside a conversation-starting display that would even have this tech writer saying something like, “what do we have here?” if I happened upon it for the first time in your setup. Now available for purchase with a nice launch discount, head below for more details on the new Anker Prime Charging Station.
There’s an exciting slew of new Switch games set to land starting next month starting with the new Zelda Echoes of Wisdom.

A couple quick moves and some lateral thinking can net you prices well below any of the early discounts we tend to track on first-party Switch games after release, and we are going to detail them below.
We have spotted a new Spigen iPad case for Apple’s latest M2 Air models. We are looking at the brand’s latest release to its Enzo collection – this is where its higher-end leather offerings land as a sort of elevated option over the traditional builds. This time it is side-stepping the leather and looking to wrap your new M2 iPad Air in the Aramid fiber material we have seen the brand leverage in the past. Now available for purchase for both 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models, head below for more deals and a closer look at the new Spigen iPad case.
