Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing Bundle

The best portable gaming system slims down
$159.00 at Walmart
$199.99 Save $40.99

Nintendo obviously struck gold with the Switch, combining the company's consistently high-quality games with a dual-purpose system that can be played on the go or plugged into a TV. 2021's Switch Lite got rid of the TV dock, making it a purely handheld system. In our review, we said that it's still "an excellent system that offers the same portable gaming experience as the Switch, in a slightly smaller form factor, with a classic direction pad instead of direction buttons," and gave it an Editors' Choice award. This package comes with a limited edition baby blue Switch and Animal Crossing: New Horizons for $40 off the regular retail price.

2022 Apple 10.9" iPad Air

A tremendous tablet at a deep discount
$399.00 at Walmart
$492.79 Save $93.79

We're huge fans of the 2022 iPad Air, calling it "the epitome of a mobile tablet" in our review. And with a new model on the market, prices are starting to seriously drop on this capable portable. Using Apple's M1 processor, it runs swiftly and stably, multi-tasks well and weighs in at barely a pound. With Apple's hallmark high-quality build, this is a machine that will serve you well for a very long time. This configuration comes with 64GB of internal storage and Wi-Fi connectivity at one of the best discounts we've ever seen.

Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic

Smartwatch power with old-school styling
$99.00 at Walmart
$176.53 Save $77.53

If the ultra-slick design of smartwatches like the Apple Watch turns you off and you want something a little more traditional, the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic might fit the bill. With a stainless steel casing that evokes rugged sport watches of the past combined with the Google/Samsung WearOS software platform, it's the best of both worlds. This is a robust and feature-rich wearable that does all the biometric monitoring and integration you want, and in our review we said that it was the "best Android-compatible smartwatch on the market, hands down." This is a record low price.

TCL makes dependable TV sets at a variety of sizes, and their Q-series displays are favorites around here. In our review of the 65" Q7 model, we said that it "offers excellent contrast, good color performance, and plenty of features." With a high brightness direct LED backlight combined with quantum dot LEDs for the picture, it kicks out vibrant, blur-free images at 4K resolution. It's also great for console gaming with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Setup is a breeze and the built-in Google TV platform lets you access all your favorite services.

Tiny speaker, big sound, and it's even waterproof
$44.99 at Walmart
$79.95 Save $34.96

Summer is the perfect time to bring music everywhere you go, and right now Walmart has a durable and portable option for that with the JBL Clip 4. This rugged and waterproof speaker has a carabiner clip on the top to hang it from a belt loop or anything else. In our review, we said the Clip 4 "delivers solid sound without weighing you down," praising its simple controls and IP67 rating, meaning it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes without any problems. Taking 54% off brings this already affordable speaker down to ultra-budget levels.

HP Victus 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop

A solid mid-range gaming portable at a nice price
$599.00 at Walmart
$979.00 Save $380.00

Gaming laptops come in a wide spectrum of capabilities, and this HP model hits solidly in the middle of the pack. It's more than capable of decent performance at 1080p, with an AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS processor coupled with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU accompanied by 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Battery life is also good, with up to 11 hours on a single charge. In our review, we praised its "solid array of ports" and decent performance for the price, and with a discount this big it gets even more appealing.

MacBook Air M1

This sleek portable is showing its age, but this is a record low price
$649.00 at Walmart
$699.00 Save $50.00

The first MacBook Air to feature Apple's in-house M1 processor dazzled us when it was released in 2020. In our review, we said that this portable was "the best value among Mac laptops, especially when combined with its nearly 30-hour battery life and premium super-slim build." And that was at the initial retail price of $999. If you've been craving an Apple laptop but didn't want to pay full price, the M1 Air is now a very attractive option at $649. This configuration comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

Starlink Standard Kit

Hook up to Elon's satellite Internet with ease
$399.00 at Walmart
$599.00 Save $200.00

Wired Internet not doing it for you anymore? Reach for the skies with Starlink, the satellite-based system that launched in 2019. Consisting of over six thousand low-Earth orbit broadcasters that connect to transceivers on the ground, it's a fast and capable way of getting online. In our review, we said that Starlink was "downright revolutionary" in its ability to bring high-speed Internet to rural areas. This package includes the transceiver and routers, but you will have to purchase a monthly access plan as well (starting at $120).

Roku Streaming Stick 4K

Plug it in and get all of your streaming content on any screen
$39.00 at Walmart
$49.00 Save $10.00

Even though many TVs have built-in smart platforms these days complete with Wi-Fi connection, you still have to set them up and laboriously enter all of your logins for each service you subscribe to. That's where the Roku Streaming Stick can save you time and aggravation. Just get them all in there once and you can plug and play into any HDMI port. We're fans of this unit, and in our review we gave it an "Excellent" rating and lauded its "sleek design and fast performance." $10 off is a nice deal on an already affordable piece of hardware.

Room-filling sound at a cost that won't empty your wallet
$149.00 at Walmart
$199.95 Save $50.95

A home theater isn't complete without a sound system, but investing in a speaker array can get expensive and tricky to install. Thankfully we've got a compromise solution from JBL at $50 off that will deliver robust audio for your favorite shows, movies and games without a ton of hardware. In our review of the JBL 2.1 Cinema Soundbar, we said that it "offers a lot for the price, including a powerful soundbar, a relatively strong wireless subwoofer, Bluetooth connectivity, and a very functional remote" and praised its deep lows and adjustable audio modes.

Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3823 Printer

A reliable low-volume printer with nice mobile options
$99.00 at Walmart
$149.99 Save $50.99

We all know that buying a printer is a two-stage process. There's the initial retail price, and then there's the follow-up costs for ink and supplies. The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3823 definitely excels in the first stage, especially with Walmart dropping the price to under a hundred bucks. In our review, we said that this unit was "a capable machine with enough capacity and volume to serve small offices and home offices for many years." Because it doesn't support Epson's EcoTank bulk ink services, it's not ideal for heavy use, but for light work it's hard to beat.
