5 Best Electronics Deals For The Weekend: Apple, Samsung, Shark, and More
It's hard to believe that June is almost over and that Prime Day is almost here, but summer has a tendency to speed by no matter how long you've been out of school. Another thing that never slows down is the relentless pace of deals, and even though you might be holding out for 4th of July sales next week, we've found some truly unbelievable price cuts on must-have tech. We're talking best-of-the-year discounts on iPads, Kindles, antivirus software, etc. Here are the five most impressive deals we've found to carry you through the weekend.
Read and write on an eye-friendly e-ink screen
$324.00 at Amazon
$519.97 Save $195.97
Spending all day staring at a luminescent screen has been shown to have some serious health drawbacks, but what choice do we have? Well, Amazon's lovely Kindle Scribe can replace at least some of that with a soft, non-reflective e-ink display that replicates the effects of paper. In our review, we lauded the Kindle Scribe's responsive screen, saying it was "the biggest and most attractive ebook reader we’ve seen yet." This bundle comes with a 64GB Scribe, leather folio cover and Amazon Premium Pen 2 for precise input, and it's 37% off.

Samsung's reputation in the storage space is impeccable, making some of our favorite internal and external drives. When we reviewed the T7 portable SSD, we gave it an "Excellent" rating for its solid build and capable performance, saying that the drive "is a cost-effective choice as a mainstream pocket SSD, whether for a business traveler or for housing a home media library." It benchmarked well for read/write speeds and the phase-change layer located next to the main circuit board keeps it cool during heavy usage.

Apple's M1 silicon gives it a significant speed boost over its predecessor, the screen is bright and beautiful, and the battery can hold up for over 5 hours of continuous video playback. This is a 30% discount, which is the best we've seen in a bit.
