Happy Friday, folks! Well, now that Christmas is officially behind us, the deals are quickly drying up. Nonetheless, there are still a few deals worth busting out those newly minted gift cards for.\u00a0Amazon\u2019s\u00a0latest Echo Show 8\u00a0has dropped to a new low, for example, while the Tile Mate has returned to its best price to date. There\u2019s also a bunch of other stuff on sale right now, including\u00a0a terrific pair of noise-canceling earbuds and OnePlus\u2019 first mechanical keyboard, so let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
First off, Amazon has apparently decided to save some of its best deals for after the holiday season, or at least until after Christmas. Right now, the\u00a0third-gen Echo Show 8<\/strong>\u00a0is on sale at Amazon for Prime members for $89.99\u00a0($60 off). That\u2019s a new all-time low, one that easily beats the smart display\u2019s recent Black Friday price of $104.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re looking for an Alexa-enabled smart display, you can\u2019t go wrong with the newest Echo Show 8. It\u2019s a highly capable device, one that\u2019s faster than the prior model from 2021\u00a0and offers better sound courtesy of a redesigned speaker system with spatial audio support. What\u2019s particularly helpful about the new Show, however, is that it supports up to four widgets and functions as a Matter controller, a Zigbee hub, and a\u00a0Thread border router, letting you use it to control a wide swath of smart home devices with ease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re not in the market for a full-on smart display, fret not because Amazon is also currently discounting the\u00a0fourth-gen Echo <\/strong>to its lowest price to date. Right now, Prime members can buy the smart speaker at\u00a0Amazon\u00a0for $49.99 (half off); it\u2019s also\u00a0on sale at Best Buy\u00a0and Target for a mere $10 more if you don\u2019t have an Amazon Prime membership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite having launched in 2020, the latest Echo is still a great speaker that sounds better than the newer,\u00a0fifth-gen Echo Dot. While it\u2019s not a fully-fledged smart home hub like the Echo Show 8, you can still use it to control a wealth of compatible smart home gadgets, including lights, smart plugs, TVs, and other devices. It can also act as\u00a0a range extender if you\u2019re on an Eero mesh Wi-Fi network\u00a0while allowing you to set alarms, get news reports, and carry out a host of other tasks using just your voice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you want to dip your toes into the world of mechanical keyboards, the\u00a0OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro<\/strong>\u00a0is currently\u00a0on sale via OnePlus\u00a0in the Winter Bonfire configuration with double-shot PBT keycaps and tactile switches for $179 ($40 off). If you prefer a lighter shade, you can also buy it in the Summer Breeze configuration with \u201cmarble-mallow\u201d keycaps and linear switches for $199 ($40 off).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After spending some time with OnePlus\u2019 first mechanical keyboard, my\u00a0colleague Jon Porter concluded\u00a0it\u2019s like a OnePlus-branded alternative to\u00a0Keychron\u2019s top-notch Q1 Pro. Both offer hot-swappable switches and are customizable using the VIA app, but OnePlus\u2019 offering comes with some extra perks. The wireless 75 percent board features a height-adjustable kickstand, for one, along with quieter cylindrical keycaps that make it great for office use.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Happy Friday, folks!
