Amazon Fire Tablets | $40-$95
Amazon’s Android-based tablets are some of the best values around, and while we wouldn’t pit them head-to-head against iPads in terms of speed or elegance, it’s hard to argue with the price. Right now, they’re even cheaper: the compact Fire 7 is a mere $40 right now, the slightly larger and more powerful Fire HD 8 is just $60, and the large, 1080p-screened Fire HD 10 is only $95.
These prices are for the versions with “special offers” (ads) on the lock screen, which helps subsidize the price, but you can pay a little more for a version without ads — or pay the difference later to remove them.
Amazon Echo Show 10 | $210
Amazon’s latest screen-driven Echo Show 10 smart speaker has an intriguing new perk: a motion-sensing display that rotates to follow you around the room. That’s handy for video calls and keeping a view on streaming media as you move about the kitchen or living room, but as Gizmodo’s review suggests, it could creep some people out.
Even so, if you don’t mind that potential eerie sensation, you can already save $40 off right now. Want one of the smaller, simpler Echo Show models? The Echo Show 5 is just $50 right now while the Echo Show 8 is $75.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury | $50
Just released last month, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury pairs a Switch port of the Wii U’s excellent Super Mario entry with the brand new Bowser’s Fury mini-campaign, which takes place in an open-world island setting and puts a fresh twist on the 3D Mario framework. It’s all stellar, and you can save $10 off right now at Amazon.

All of ‘em have the latest and greatest A14 Bionic processor for speedy use, along with a crisp 10.9” screen, Apple Pencil support, and a Touch ID sensor for security.
Want the full convertible laptop experience? Add Apple’s Magic Keyboard attachment, which includes a full keyboard and trackpad, and folds to become a portable case for the iPad itself. It’s $100 off the list price right now, which still comes out to a steep $199… but it’s nice.
