Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. The future of Warner Bros. Games is unclear, as it shut down several studios and canceled anticipated games earlier this year. But there’s no arguing that the company’s back catalog of titles is full of gems, many of which are in Humble’s great $12 bundle. Through August 27th, you can jump on this unbeatable deal that gets you 16 WB Games titles on Steam for just $12, with proceeds going to the Raiden Scienc

Bose’s stylish SoundLink Home speaker is cheaper for the first time in months

Audio quality is always going to be a speaker’s most important feature, but it doesn’t hurt if it looks nice too. In our tests, Bose’s SoundLink Home is a solid sounding, aesthetically pleasing portable Bluetooth speaker that you can currently pick up for $199.99 ($20 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. The SoundLink Home’s aluminum band and fabric covering distinguish it from the plastic shells used for other speakers, and are likely to be the first things you notice. However, former Verge r

Google’s Pixel 9A is cheaper than ever right now

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. The Google Pixel 9A is a midrange phone done right, offering a great balance of hardware, features, and value. Normally it costs $499, but now you can scoop up the 128GB model for an all-time low of $399 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store. The Pixel A-series has long been our go-to recommendation for a cheap Android phone, and the 9A keeps that streak alive. The device features a 6.3-inch

ElevenLabs launches an AI music generator, which it claims is cleared for commercial use

The AI audio-generation unicorn ElevenLabs announced a new model on Tuesday that allows users to generate music, which it claims is cleared for commercial use. This move marks ElevenLabs’ expansion beyond its main focus thus far in its three years of existence, which has been building AI audio tools. ElevenLabs is a leader among companies making text-to-speech AI products, and it has expanded into conversational bots and tools that translate speech into other languages. Alongside the launch, E

Read more about how we evaluate products . It’s obvious that Apple products are some of the most sought-after in the tech world — that means sales are fewer and farther between than other gadgets, and they’re often the first things to sell out when discounts do arrive. But it would be a mistake to assume you’re doomed to always

Bose’s QuietComfort Headphones are $130 off for back-to-school season

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Finding peace among the chaos on campus can be more challenging than a midterm. But a quality pair of over-ear headphones can block out distractions when it’s time to lock in. If that sounds like you, we’ve found a deal on the Bose QuietComfort Headphones, which are currently down to $229 ($130 off) at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. That’s within $30 of the lowest price we’ve seen all year. The Bose QuietComfo

The best smartwatch and fitness tracker deals to shop now

Marathon season is right around the corner, and if you've willingly entered yourself into a race this fall, whether it's a 5K, 10K, half, or full marathon, you've probably already begun training for it (or should start doing so as soon as possible). A fitness tracker, like a smartwatch, smart band, or smart ring, can help monitor your pace, distance, gains, and recovery. These devices have become more comfortable than ever (as someone who has tested lots of them), and the brands behind them, li

The best Amazon deals right now: Save on laptops, gadgets and more

How did we choose these Amazon deals? ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our

The latest MacBook Air with M4 is down to its lowest price ever

If you need a laptop for school or work, our top recommendation is Apple’s 13-Inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip, which is at an all-time low price of $799 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The machine is thin and light, yet its M4 chip is powerful enough to handle more intense workloads, including 4K video editing, or keeping dozens of tabs open. It can even play games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate and Dead Island 2 at respectable frame rates. One of the biggest changes with this generation of

Mario Kart World and other Switch 2 games are 10 percent off

I wasn’t expecting to see any deals on Switch 2 games for a while. Even though the console is currently much easier to find in stock, game discounts — especially ones on first-party Nintendo launch games — aren’t the norm. However, you can get 10 percent off on the likes of Mario Kart World, and the Switch 2 editions of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild. Sure, these are small price drops, but anything that brings them closer to the cost of last-gen Switch games is

And don't forget to catch up on all the announcements from Samsung Unpacked. Note that t

You can now easily buy a Switch 2 without jumping through hoops

Perhaps we’ve been thinking the same thing, you and I. That there won’t be a long-standing drought of Nintendo Switch 2 availability after all. The console has been easy to buy online from several retailers this week, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Amazon, which didn’t sell the Switch 2 at launch, is currently selling it by invitation only. The console’s messy preorder process and spotty launch availability made it feel a little like late 2020 all over again, when the PlayStation 5, X

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has long been a Verge-favorite gaming laptop, and we consider it to be the very best one that you can buy.

Apple’s latest AirPods Max for $100 off is a great back-to-school deal

It’s annoying to think about school starting in the middle of summer, but we’ve already begun to see glimpses of back-to-school deals, including a discount on the AirPods Max (USB-C) that brings them down to $449.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Apple’s latest over-ear headphones share many features with its earbuds, but have significantly longer battery life, better active noise cancellation, and higher audio quality. They’re made from aluminum and memory foam, which are more pr

Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro d

You can once again buy the AirPods 4 for less than $90

We saw a ton of great Apple deals during Prime Day, most of which have disappeared. It’s okay if you missed out, though, as some of our favorite deals like the M2 MacBook Air have either stuck around or have returned, like the low price on Apple’s entry-level AirPods 4. Right now, you can pick up a pair for just $89.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is $1 shy of their all-time best price. Alternatively, you can buy the model with active noise cancellation for $119.99 ($60 off)

The 13-inch M2 MacBook Air is a great back-to-school deal at just $699

It’s almost back to school season, and we’re starting to see some great laptop deals trickle in as a result. Walmart continues to sell the M1-powered MacBook Air for $599, but if you want more power and a sleeker design, the 13-inch M2-powered MacBook Air starts at just $699 ($100 off) from Best Buy. That’s its best price to date, and it’s available on the configuration that offers 256GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, double what’s in the base M1 model. The M2-powered MacBook Air remains an excell

Every Best Buy store will have Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on July 17th

It’s been over a month since the Switch 2’s record-breaking launch, and the console is becoming easier to get with each restock.

Prime Day Has Ended, but You Can Still Snag My Favorite All-in-One Kitchen Appliance for 25% Off

Amazon's Prime Day sale has wrapped up, but we're spotting some deals that are still live today, including a sweet 25% discount on the Chefman Everything Maker, a clever kitchen gadget that can make almost anything. The normal list price of $60 on the Chefman website already feels like a steal for what this appliance can accomplish. Which is, well, everything.
