When I’m not working on building custom computers or fixing phones, I love to write about technology. I’m always looking out for the best deal on any tech I can get my hands on, so one day I decided, “Why not write about it?!” You can follow me on Twitter or Instagram @pcamp96, though I’m way more active on Twitter. If you’ve got a tip to an awesome deal, go ahead and drop me a line at patrick@9to5mac.com!
We all know the feeling of not wanting to go to the movies, but we end up going anyway… Why? Going to the movie theater provides a unique viewing experience that most just can’t get at home, well, before Cinera that is. Cinera takes aim at replacing the home-theater experience up several notches, even going as far as claiming to have higher resolution viewing experiences than you get from a normal movie theater.
From $110When it comes to charging multiple devices, honestly, I normally just give up and throw the tangled cables into my bag with a 6 port USB charging hub. I mean, I have a decent dock for my iPhone 7+ and Apple Watch that has a USB to charge my iPad, and there are many of those options available on Amazon. But there’s a new kid on the block, and OS Power Box brings something else to the table; a USB Type-C 60W charger and the ability to fold flat for travel.

Samsung just launched their latest flagship, the Galaxy Note 8, for $929.99. That’s quite a bit to swallow, especially for a college student who wants to have the latest and greatest.

As long as you’re registered with UNiDAYS (if not, it’s not hard), you can snag the Note 8 from just $883.49 depending on what carrier you choose, saving you 5% off of the list price.
$25If you have never heard of Cards Against Humanity, that probably means you’re a decent human being… For the most part, at least. Cards Against Humanity boasts itself as a “party game for horrible people” but it’s really just a fun rendition of the age old game Apples to Apples in this writer’s opinion. Filled with jokes you could never find yourself telling, or just funny sentences you get to finish, Cards Against Humanity is a fun game all around, but definitely not for all ages. There are many cards that are not for the faint of heart or younger eyes, so please play responsibly.
$130Fitbit just announced their Ionic watch and now they’re back at it again with the Flyer. The Fitbit Flyer is a brand new pair of headphones from the fitness company that they say pairs perfect with the Ionic for workouts. The Flyer is Bluetooth driven and sports 6 hours of listening time, with a 15-minute quick charge that provides an extra hour of listening time.
From $79PITAKA is a Chinese based company that has been making mobile accessories for a little while now. Their latest venture, however, is a carbon fiber magnetic wallet. Starting at $79 on Indiegogo the New Wallet is slated to go up to a starting price of $119 after the crowdfunding campaign ends. With the “Basic Edition” giving you the initial ability to hold 6 cards in a RFID blocking and Anti-Degaussing magnetic wallet, it’s really an interesting idea.
