Engadget

The latest iPad mini is $50 off again: Amazon’s sale knocks the price of the 256GB WiFi-only model to $499 and the WiFi + Cellular model with the same amount of storage to $629. While the base iPad mini isn’t on sale, this is a good deal if you knew you’d need more storage on Apple’s smallest iPad. We gave the iPad mini a score of 85 for its powerful performance, improved display and good battery life.

Amazon’s Echo Show 5 bundle is a good way to get started with smart home monitoring. It combines the Echo Show 5 smart speaker with Amazon’s new Blink Mini security camera for the sale price of $65. This is a solid deal considering the Show 5 typically costs $60 to $90, and the Blink Mini normally costs $35. The video feed from the Blink Mini feeds into the show 5, so you can see what’s going on in any part of your home.

If you’re in need of a new pair of wireless earbuds, a few options from Sony remain on sale. The WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds are still going for $178 at Best Buy and Amazon, or about $50 less than their normal price. We praised these ANC earbuds for their good sound quality, long battery life and useful mobile app, giving them a score of 89. Both Best Buy and Amazon have the Sony WF-SP800N wireless earbuds on sale for $168 as well. These are sportier than the 1000MX3s and they earned a score of 88 from us for their solid ANC and powerful bass.

BioLite Headlamp 330

A new July 4 sale from BioLite drops the price of the excellent Headlamp 330 to $48, which is 20 percent off its normal price. Amazon is also matching the sale, so you can buy it there if you prefer. The Headlamp 330 is a no-frills rechargeable light that will come in handy when while hiking, camping or working on DIY projects around your home. It’s surprisingly comfortable and it’ll last 40 hours on a single charge.

You can grab Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C adapter for $30, which is $20 less than its normal price and the lowest we’ve seen it since March. Anker makes solid accessories and its USB-C adapters are no exception. This model takes the design of the 5-in-1 adapter and adds to it an Ethernet port and a USB-C port for a maximum 48W power delivery to your laptop.

SanDisk 256GB microSDXC card + $50 Nintendo eShop gift card

Newegg has a bundle that gets you a 256GB SanDisk microSDXC card plus a $50 Nintendo eShop gift card (email delivery) for $95, which is $10 less than if you were to purchase both separately. This one of SanDisk’s Nintendo Switch-specific microSDXC cards, and because of that (and it’s high capacity) it rarely drops below $52 on its own. This is a solid deal if you’ve been eyeing a few games on the eShop and need extra space on your Switch to store them.

Buy 2 Nintendo Switch games, get a microSDXC card free

Target has a promotion that includes a free 128GB SanDisk microSDXC card when you buy two Nintendo Switch digital games. Of course, you must pick from a selection of games, and most of them are first-party: titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 are included. You’ll pay full price for the games as none of them are discounted, but a microSDXC card worth $33 is a solid freebie.
