Save big on GoPros, monitors, gaming laptops and more

Engadget named not only one but two LG UltraGear gaming monitors to its list of the best gaming monitors this year, thanks to the excellent video performance and ultra-fast refresh rates. And while this step-down sibling is neither 4K nor OLED like those are, it still boasts solid refresh rates, an ample screen size and compatibility with AMD FreeSync, making it a great choice for gamers on a budget. The borderless design looks great in a home office, too, so use it as a bigger or second screen for productivity during the work or school day as well.

Save over $100 on this Nest smart thermostat, which learns your home and away schedule to help you save on energy costs. We also like its high-res digital display, sleek design and the fact that you can adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere via its companion app.

If you’re looking for a muscular computer that’s also AI-ready, we have an ideal option for an upgrade. The Windows and Intel-based Lenovo IdeaPad 3i won’t disappoint, and it’s available for an incredible price right now.

The up to six-hour battery life will get you through the work or school day, or enjoy a change of scenery and slide this slim computer into your bag to crank out some reports from the local coffee shop.

Having used a GoPro HERO camera before, I can attest to the fact that the accessories are what truly makes them among the most versatile action cameras around. This bundle includes the HERO 12, which offers longer recording times than the HERO 11 according to our Engadget reviewer, along with improved Bluetooth capabilities and the option to record square-ish 8:7 video in every mode (hello, easy Instagram uploads!) Given the price, we can’t believe this set also includes 50 (yes, 50!) accessories, not to mention a pair of extra batteries. There’s a tether strap, head strap mount (awesome for recording waterslide fun!), tripod mount adapter, even a microSDXC memory card. With this jam-packed kit, there’s virtually nowhere you won’t be able to shoot.

“This machine handles any modern game or creative application I throw at it effortlessly,” comments one Walmart shopper who recently purchased this gaming desktop. If you’re serious about gaming and looking to upgrade your rig, this sale saving you a cool $350 will get you going for much less than you thought you’d have to pay. With 32GB RAM and a whopping 128GB maximum if you upgrade it, along with a liquid cooling system that ensures the desktop doesn’t overheat nor blare loud fan noise, this unit is a gaming beast. Let’s not forget the 1TB SSD that can probably store your entire game collection, with room to spare and — most importantly — the GeForce RTX 4060 video card that will deliver buttery smooth framerates.

Yes, it’s a couple generations old already, but this ultra-lightweight MacBook Air still comes with Apple’s M-series chip, making it snappy and efficient (seriously, it’s impressive), not to mention upgradeable to the latest OS with all those cool Apple Intelligence features you’ve been hearing about. This unit is so thin and light, you’ll almost forget you’re carrying it around. The 18-hour battery life will keep it going all day, perfect for remote or hybrid workers attending endless Zoom meetings and students sitting through long days of classes.

Electric toothbrushes are game changers for oral health, and this one is suitable for both adults and older kids who aren’t getting the all-clear from the dentist at every visit. Fend off plaque and resulting cavities and get a fresh smile with this toothbrush from one of the most popular and recognized brands. You’ll love the pressure sensor that advises if you’re pressing too hard (gentle strokes, guys) and the quadrant timer for spending the required 30 seconds per side for a two-minute journey to sparkling clean teeth. Engadget named the more powerful step-up Oral-B iO Series 7 as the best overall electric toothbrush, but if you don’t need all those extra modes and app connectivity for visual guides, this is a good starter.
