The 10th-gen Apple iPad hits a low of $300, plus the rest of the week’s best tech deals

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another curated roundup of the week’s best tech deals. This week’s selection is highlighted by a new low on

This is the budget pick in our iPad buying guide — by default, sure, but still. It has a similar design as the pricier iPad Air, it lasts 10-ish hours per charge and its A14 Bionic chip is plenty fast for media consumption and light work. If you can afford one of

offer applies there as well. That said, we’re hesitant to recommend the PSVR2 more broadly given its relative dearth of hit games. (A potential PC adapter could change that equation down the road, though.) As for the console, it’s worth noting that Sony is

Naturally, the Days of Play ***** also includes a number of discounts on PS4 and PS5 games. To be candid, most of them aren’t anything we haven’t seen several times before, but at least a few are worth highlighting. For one, the mammoth and

There are technically deals on

This is the hidden content, please

subscriptions as well, though they’re not great. New users can take up to 30 percent off a membership, but if you’re already a member, you can only get a discount by upgrading to a higher tier of service. Specifically, you can take 25 percent off the cost of upgrading to the middle “Extra” tier, or 30 percent off a jump to the top-end “Premium” plan. If you only have a short time left on your current subscription, though, the net savings won’t be that large.

Peacock

New and returning subscribers can get a year of

for $20. The discount should appear automatically at the link below, but if you don’t see it, use the code STREAMTHEDEAL at checkout. Normally, a year of service goes for $60. Note that, despite the “Premium” tag, this is Peacock’s ad-supported tier. For ad-free service, you want Peacock Premium Plus, which costs $120 per year but isn’t currently discounted. Peacock

offer will run through June 30, but remember that your subscription will be set to auto-renew at the standard price by default.

Generally speaking, Peacock isn’t as rich with material as rivals like

We’ve given just about all of these devices favorable reviews before, and we highlight many of them in our guides to the best soundbars and best smart speakers. The ***** is coming at something of a rough time for Sonos, however, as a recent overhaul of its mobile app gutted various features and majorly

to address many of the concerns with future updates, but it’s not a great look. That said, the speakers themselves still pair easily with one another and generally sound great for their respective categories. They also support Apple’s AirPlay 2 protocol, so you can stream music directly from an iPhone, and most include some level of voice control. You just might want to avoid updating to the latest version of the app if you can.

The 13-inch Air is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, though the 15-inch model is effectively the same device, just with a ******* screen and better speakers. We gave both versions a score of 90 in our review earlier this year. Both could stand to have a couple more ports, but they run fast and look great, with crisp displays, comfortable keyboards and lengthy battery life. We specifically recommend starting with 16GB of RAM if you plan on using the laptops for anything more than the basics, but if you’re not going to push the device too hard, the

with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage are also on *****.

aside). It also supports Apple’s AirPlay 2 tech, so you can beam videos to it directly from an iPhone. You’ll still have to put up with some ads, though, and it’s not as adept at proactively recommending shows you might like as

, depending on the colorway. We recommend the Wonderboom 3 in our Bluetooth speaker buying guide for getting impressively punchy and clear sound out of its tiny, barrel-shaped frame. It has an IP67 water- and dust-resistance rating, so you can safely use it in the pool or shower, and it lasts more than 10 hours on a charge. It needs an ancient micro-USB cable to charge, however, and you still shouldn’t expect much in the way of deep bass from something this small.

’s mobile OS and Pixel phones in particular. There’s wireless charging, multi-device pairing and a solid active noise cancellation mode on top of that, while the default sound profile should suit those who like hyped-up bass and bright treble. That said, the design may not be the best fit for those with smaller ears, and call quality isn’t great. We gave the Pixel Buds Pro a score of 87 back in 2022.

. As the name suggests, this is a handy toolkit for anyone interested in repairing or modding their own gadgets. Its 64-bit driver set includes several bits you can use to open up gadgets that may not be easily accessible with more traditional screws, such as the Nintendo Switch or recent iPhones. There’s a range of tweezers, spudgers, picks and other prying tools beyond that, and its case doubles as a magnetic sorting tray. If you already know what you’re doing when it comes to fixing up gadgets, it should be a helpful way to avoid trekking to a repair shop.

. That’s only $10 off this config’s usual street price over the last couple of months, but it still matches an all-time low. This is the budget pick in our guide to the best Android tablets. It isn’t likely to wow you in any one area, but its 11-inch LCD display is solid for the money, with a 90Hz refresh rate that makes scrolling feel smooth. The Snapdragon 695 chip is quick enough for the basics, there’s a microSD slot for expanding storage and the battery should last through a day on average. Android still isn’t as well-suited to large screens as iPadOS, but

it’ll supply the tablet with OS updates through Android 16. Just note that there’s no fingerprint reader or formal water-resistance rating, and that charging speeds top out at a relatively meager 15W.

Anker’s

is down to $12 with an on-page coupon, which is an all-time low and about $14 off its usual going rate. We recommend the USB-C version of this device in our portable charger buying guide, but the idea here is the same: It’s a tiny power brink that snaps directly into your iPhone’s charging port. It has a relatively small 5,000mAh capacity and only charges up to 12W, so it’s best viewed as a way to squeeze a little more juice out of a dying phone, not a full-on power bank. Still, it can be useful in an emergency, and the whole thing is small enough to fit in a pocket. Just be sure you won’t upgrade to an iPhone 15 anytime soon, as those charge over USB-C instead of Lightning.
