Screwdriver, Fire TV Soundbar, and U-Bolt Pro WiFi: Three Top Tech Deals to Make Your Dreams a Reality

Hoto’s electric screwdriver is perfect for making small- to medium-sized repairs around the house. The screwdriver comes with a case and 12 steel bits.

Amazon’s own Fire TV Soundbar is a 2.0-channel speaker that stretches 24 inches long. It’s got support for Dolby Audio, DTS, and Bluetooth and connects to a compatible TV via an HDMI port with eARC or ARC.

The C3 has a number of new picture modes and has more processing power than its predecessor. There is support for various refresh rate tech, such as Freesync, and low input lag as well.

If you want an amazing-looking display at a somewhat low price, LG’s A2 OLED is an excellent value. It doesn’t have a high refresh rate panel and has a lower price than the C2 and C3 because of its fantastic picture quality.

The U-Bolt Pro WiFi is a solid-feeling lock that packs a lot of features into a compact design. You can control it with a variety of solutions including: a phone, an Apple Watch, or a combination of the two.

Introducing the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera to the Smart Home: Review of the Lowest Price and High-Performance Appearances

The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera has the best video quality, most versatile installation options, and widest smart home integration — Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and Apple Home. It costs more when you add continuous power and pay for smart alert and video recording.

The 1080p Blink Outdoor 4 security camera offers support for motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio. Unlike the third-gen model, it also now supports person detection and a wider field of view.

The customizable Govee M1 Matter Compatible LED Strip Light is 6.56 feet long and can display millions of colors and shades of white. You can use it to create light patterns. Read our review.

With solid performance and support for all of the major smart home platforms, this affordable Wi-Fi smart plug gives you the basics you need to control non-smart devices for less. It doesn’t have any of that but it is alright at this price.

The Nanoleaf Lines Smarter Kit comes with an adapter and nine LED light bars, allowing you to add color to your wall in a variety of patterns. The lights can also sync with your music, mirror the colors on your display, or make use of an assortment of preloaded scenes via a companion app.

A review of Hori, King Kong 2 Pro and InZone H3 Bluetooth headsets: Best Deals Tech, Gaming, and Tablets

This is the first sub-$1,000 bot that can do everything, just not quite as well as the top-of-the-line options. It vacuums, mops, self-empties, fills its mop reservoir and cleans and dries its mops. It can map, has virtual keep-out zones, and works with voice assistants. There isn’t an Artificial Intelligence- powered obstacle avoidance and its single roller brush isn’t as effective as the double ones.

Sony’s latest collection of gaming headsets, called the InZone H3 is wired and compatible with both PSone and PC. InZone headsets come with a companion app and Spatial Sound Personalizer that can personalize the sound profile.

Hori created a piece of the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, one that is split into two separate pieces. The Split Pad Pro is a good Joy-Con alternative for people who primarily play their Nintendo Switch in handheld mode. We want you to read our review.

If you’re looking for a Switch controller that’s also a great Bluetooth controller for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android, GuliKit’s KingKong 2 Pro is a worthwhile purchase. It has driff-free Hall effect analog sticks, Amiibo support, and it feels like an Xbox controller in the hand.

The Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker: A First Look at StreamCam, Epomaker’s Keychron, and other Wireless Models

One of Ikea’s most unusual collabs with Sonos, the Symfonisk picture frame speaker is a space-saving speaker with solid sound and unique looks. Without a second power outlet, you can daisy chain two together. Take a peek at our review.

The StreamCam supports 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. It has a 78-degree field of view, along with two omnidirectional mics. The StreamCam is not able to show all of its features on Macs with M1 and M2 processors.

Epomaker’s compact TH80 Pro is a higher-end version of one of our favorite wireless models, one that comes with a larger battery and a few functionality improvements.

The Keychron V1 is the best mechanical keyboard for beginners. It has hot-swappable switches, full remappability with VIA, great build quality, RGB backlighting, and double-shot PBT keycaps for under $100.

This 93.5Wh pack has 100W USB-C output, 100W USB-C input, a DC jack for input and output, and secondary USB-C and USB-A outputs that can run in tandem. There is a screen that can show both inputs and outputs. The batteries aren’t blue like in the image.

This tiny Mac is powerful enough to charge a Mac — well, a MacBook Air anyhow. It advertises 67W from one port, 45W from two, or 45W and 15W from the rest. A number of Watts that are currently in use have its dot readout change to a Matrixesque dot.

The Nothing Phone 2: An alternative to the Giant Manet? Review of new innovations in flip phones, earbuds, games, and Nintendo Switch

The Nothing Phone 2 embraces a certain retro-infused aesthetic that’s unlike anything else you’ll find on the market. It is not certified to work on the giant brand, but is a good alternative because it has more stylish and functional rear-panelLED light strips. Read our review.

The latest flip phone from SAMSUNG is called Z FLIP 5, and it has new features, including a larger front cover display and a new hinge that allows it to open and close flat. It has an 8 Gen 2 processor, 8ga of ram, and a dual-camera setup.

The successor to the Jabra Elite 3 are the Elite 4 earbuds. They provide noise cancellation, but not the newer Jabra Elite 5 with its dust and water resistance.

The Nintendo Switch has a seven-inch display, improved audio, and a better kickstand. Woot is offering Amazon Prime members an additional $20 off when purchasing the console through its app, dropping the discounted price from $309.99 to $289.99.

This slimmer 72Wh model ditches the DC barrel jack and second USB-C port but adds larger cells and a higher total output of 130W. You still only get 100W USB-C output, though, and it charges slower at 65W. I prefer the larger one.

LG’s 27GR95QE-B is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a high-quality 2560 x 1440 OLED panel that supports up to 240Hz refresh for fast performance in competitive games. It has built in downscaling for 4k content so it looks good on a 1440p display.
