Whether you need faster Wi-Fi, a better video doorbell, a more capable smart lock, or a robot vacuum that can keep up with your floors, these are the gadgets I recommend grabbing while prices are low.Good value Wi-Fi The foundation of a good smart home is Wi-Fi, so if you’re still rocking a router with Wi-Fi 6 or even 5, Prime Day is a good time to upgrade.

Most of what I do with local LLMs is text-based work like research, brainstorming, summarization, and the occasional fact-checking. Some of the models I run have vision and that's been genuinely useful too, especially for analyzing UI screenshots and working through layout ideas, but the vision side just reads images and gives you back text, it doesn't generate anything visual.

Amazon’s Prime Day sale is here, and whether you’re looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds or a smartwatch, there’s a good chance you’ll find a discount. The Apple Watch Series 11 has already dropped to a new low price, while the AirPods Pro 3 recently hit a record-low $169 at Walmart. That particular deal has sold out, but the earbuds remain discounted to $179 at Amazon and Best Buy, and the lower price could return given how volatile the sale has been.For now, the below are the best Apple deals currently available. We’ll continue updating this guide throughout Prime Day, highlighting the best Apple deals as they become available.Earbud and headphone dealsAirPods Pro 3The latest AirPods Pro offer improved noise cancellation and richer bass, along with built-in heart sensors that work with Apple’s Fitness app to monitor calories burned across more than 50 workouts. Read our review.Where to Buy: $249 $179.99 at Amazon $249 $179.99 at Best BuyThe AirPods 4 are on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $99 ($30 off). Apple’s entry-level earbuds offer richer bass than previous generations along with a more robust IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. They match the latest AirPods Pro in voice call quality and work well with other Apple devices too, though they lack more advanced features like active noise cancellation. It might be a pro or con to some that this model simply rests in your ear. They don’t create a tight seal like the AirPods Pro.The AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and wireless charging are also on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $148.99 ($30 off). It’s a solid deal, but given the AirPods Pro 3 are currently available for about $20 or so more, we’d recommend buying those instead. They drown out noise better and offer additional features like a heart rate sensor that justify the small price difference. Read our review.AirPods Max 2Apple’s over-ears retain the premium design of the original while delivering improved sound quality and better noise cancellation. They also sport Apple’s H2 chip, which enables newer features like live translation.

Like all Beats earbuds and headphones, the noise-canceling Fit are platform-agnostic and natively support a number of iOS and Android features like one-step pairing and Find My support. The Beats Fit Pro successor also features a redesigned wingtip with built-in silicone fins and ear tips that are designed to provide a more secure fit during workouts than traditional earbuds.The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are on sale for $179.95 ($90 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is also $20 shy of their all-time low price. Their ear-hook design helps keep them securely in place, while Apple’s H2 chip grants access to AirPods Pro features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and better noise cancellation than you’ll get with the Powerbeats Fit. Plus, unlike the Fit, they support wireless charging. Read our review.Beats Studio ProThe latest Beats Studio Pro feature improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. They also support lossless audio over USB-C and offer native support for a range of iOS and Android features like other Beats headphones. Read our review.Where to Buy: $349.99 $132.05 at Amazon $349.99 $139 at Walmart $349.99 $149.99 at Best BuyThe Beats Solo 4 have dropped to $99.95 ($100 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $10 more than their all-time low we saw last year. The wireless headphones offer a noticeable step up in performance from the Beats Solo 3, delivering more detailed sound and support for lossless audio over the included USB-C or 3.5mm cable. They also provide up to 50 hours of battery life, plus comfortable memory foam ear cushions, though they don’t include active noise cancellation. Read our review.You can buy the Beats Studio Buds Plus on sale for $89.95 ($80 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is one of their better prices to date. The wireless earbuds offer good active noise cancellation along with four swappable ear tips for a comfortable, secure fit (though perhaps not as secure as the Powerbeats Pro 2). They also sport a slick translucent colorway and can last up to 27 hours on a single charge.

The Ultra 3 is Apple’s most rugged and feature-packed smartwatch, making it a great choice for athletes and outdoorsy folks. It delivers up to 42 hours of battery life — six hours more than its predecessor — and features a larger wide-angle OLED display with a refresh rate that goes down to just 1Hz for battery savings, plus slimmer bezels. It also supports both satellite connectivity and 5G.

It also includes newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, making it more future-proof. Read our review.The 13-inch M4-powered iPad Air is on sale for $699.99 ($100 off), which is its second-best price, at Amazon. The tablet is identical to the 11-inch model, but sports a larger display that’s better suited for multitasking.Other Apple dealsApple AirTags (second-generation)Apple’s latest AirTag features an upgraded ultra-wideband chip for more precise location tracking, a noticeably louder speaker, and an expanded Bluetooth range.

As a journalist and a business owner, I spend a lot of time in meetings. Some of these meetings are interviews, while others are discussions or client calls. Additionally, I tend to take a lot of voice notes, recording my thoughts and personal research about things that I might be working on throughout the day.

A Claude subscription comes with plenty of perks, including the ability to use tools like Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude Design. But many people opt for the free plan, either due to affordability concerns, or because they don't use the AI enough to justify the cost.

Amazon’s Prime Day is on, and it’s happening for the next four days. Prime members can jump into the deals now until the sale officially ends at 3:01AM ET / 12:01AM PT June 27th. Many discounts will remain the same throughout the duration.We’ve been covering Prime Day in-depth since the shopping event debuted over a decade ago.

The Roborock Saros 10 (pictured here) and Saros 20 are both on sale. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge If you’ve been wanting to buy a robot vacuum but have been put off by how much it can cost to get a good one, now is not a bad time to start looking. Prime Day has kicked off, though more than just Amazon is offering deals on several models we’ve tested from brands like Roborock, Dreame, and Shark. Whether you’re looking for a basic robot vacuum that can cut down on the amount of vacuuming you have to do or a high-end model that can wash and dry its own mop pads and climb over room thresholds, there are deals available across a wide range of price points.Roborock Saros 20Where to Buy: $1599.99 $1424.99 at AmazonRoborock Saros 10Roborock’s Saros 10 combines powerful 22,000Pa suction with excellent dual spinning mop pads that do a great job tackling dried-on messes. It can also automatically leave its mop pads at the dock before vacuuming carpets. The newer Saros 20 offers more powerful suction and can tackle taller thresholds, but the Saros 10 is still a great cleaning machine.Where to Buy: $1599.99 $999.99 at Best Buy $1599.99 $1299.99 at RoborockThe Roborock Q10 S5 Plus is down to $264.99 ($285 off) at Amazon, which matches its lowest price to date. The Q10 S5 Plus is one of our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum / mop hybrids, combining good AI-powered obstacle avoidance with automatic carpet detection. It also features a vibrating mop that does a solid job scrubbing hard floors while lifting itself over rugs, and the set includes a self-emptying dock for added convenience. It can’t match the suction power or tall threshold-climbing abilities of pricier models like the Saros 20, but this is a good value under $300.The Tapo RV30 Max is another excellent budget-friendly option that’s on sale. It includes a self-emptying dock and costs $199.99 at Amazon. You don’t get AI-powered obstacle avoidance with this one, and its 5,200Pa suction isn’t the most powerful we’ve seen, but it’s still a capable cleaning machine with a wide mop pad that performs surprisingly well. The RV30 Max also offers excellent lidar-based navigation, support for room-specific cleaning, and Matter compatibility, allowing you to control it through all the major smart home platforms.Eufy Omni C28The Eufy Omni C28 combines excellent mopping performance with a small self-cleaning dock that’s well suited for apartments and other smaller spaces. It navigates around furniture and into tight areas with ease, while its roller mop does a great job cleaning hard floors.Where to Buy: $799.99 $449.98 at Amazon $799.99 $449.99 at Eufy (with code WS24C28200NEW)Dreame’s X60 Max Ultra is on sale for $1,344.99 ($355 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date. We highly recommend the Dreame X60 Ultra for homes with lots of carpet, as it combines powerful 35,000Pa suction with dual rubber brushes that excel at lifting hair and debris. It can also climb over tall thresholds and thick rugs with ease, while its spinning mop pads do a good job on hard floors and automatically detach when vacuuming carpet. Other highlights include quiet mop washing and drying along with a slim design that can fit under low furniture.You can pick up the Dreame X60 Max Ultra’s predecessor, the Dreame X50 Ultra, for $849.99 ($750 off) at Amazon, which is $50 more than its best price to date. While its 20,000Pa suction isn’t quite as powerful as the X60 Ultra’s and it can’t tackle especially high thresholds as well, it’s still an excellent robot vacuum-mop hybrid. Its edge cleaning also isn’t quite as effective as the X60 Ultra’s, but you’re otherwise getting many of the same features for a lot less.Dreame’s L40 Ultra Gen 2 is on sale for $384.99 ($265 off) at Amazon and $399.99 directly from Dreame. It delivers powerful 25,000Pa suction, AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and a self-cleaning dock that empties the dustbin, washes the mop, and refills its water tanks. Unlike the X50 Ultra, however, it lacks the ability to climb high thresholds or stairs.Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCycloneEcovacs’ latest flagship robot vacuum and mop can pretreat stains, keep carpets dry with a smart mop cover, and deliver powerful 22,000Pa suction. It also comes with an all-in-one dock that automatically empties the dustbin, washes the mop with heated, pressurized water, and refills its water tanks.Where to Buy: $1499.99 $899.99 at Amazon $1499.99 $946.99 at Best Buy $1499.99 $947 at EcovacsEcovacs Deebot X9 Pro OmniThe Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni features an extendable mop that can clean itself, just like its predecessor. However, it also features Ecovacs’ Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which optimizes the airflow path from intake to exhaust, rather than relying solely on suction power. Where to Buy: $1299.99 $499 at Amazon $1299.99 $525.99 at Best Buy $1299.99 $526 at EcovacsThe Dreame L10s Pro Ultra is down to $349.98 when you buy it directly from Dreame with code L10PUXM, matching its best price to date and $950 less than its original launch price in 2024. Despite its age, it still offers a self-cleaning dock that can wash and dry its mop pads, dispense cleaning solution, refill its water tank, and empty its dustbin. It also features AI-powered obstacle avoidance. Its 7,000Pa suction is lower than Dreame’s newer models, and it can’t climb tall thresholds, but it’s still a lot of robot vacuum for the price.The Shark Navigator Robot Vacuum RV2110 has dropped to $179 ($121 off) at Amazon. While we’ve previously seen it go for as low as $129.99, that’s still a notable 40 percent discount on the basic bot. The Navigator uses lidar-based navigation to create a map of your home and is equipped with a brushroll designed to minimize hair tangles.

Want to create the ultimate home network you can be proud of? You'll want a combination of enthusiast equipment and software to take full advantage of the available technologies. One such brand is Ubiquiti with its UniFi range of hardware. They're excellent for upgrading the home LAN to better handle modern data requirements. If you're planning out a smart home with thousands of IoT devices, network-attached storage (NAS), and even a small home lab, it's worth investing in better infrastructure, such as the discounted UniFi AP AC PRO.

Bambu Lab printers make it dangerously easy to think the machine is already finished when it lands on your workbench. You unbox it, run the setup routine, load filament, and suddenly it’s printing cleaner than the printers many of us spent years trying to dial in. That first experience is a big part of the appeal, and I don’t want to undersell it. Bambu has drawn many people into 3D printing by removing the step where the printer immediately becomes a project.

Prime Day is usually flooded with countless pricey network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures, but really, you don't need to spend that much at all. Remember, the cost of a NAS unit from the likes of Synology won't include storage, but the enclosure itself. That means you'll need to factor in the cost to buy a hard drive or two. That's where the Synology DiskStation DS223j comes in. This is a two-bay Synology NAS powered by DiskStation Manager. It's not the cheapest Synology NAS, but it's the best for storing data at home.
