As Lifehacker's deals writer, I'm always looking for the best bargains on TVs, speakers, laptops, and other tech. Now that it's Friday, I've gathered together this week's sales highlights, all of which I've vetted using my favorite price-tracking tools to make sure they are actually good deals.
This week, you can find bargains on Amazon products thanks to the early October Prime Day sale, and good discounts on the GoPro LIT Hero, OLED TVs, TCL tablets, and more.
A refurbished Kindle Scribe is 21% off
The refurbished Kindle Scribe is discounted right now, making it a great opportunity to get one for much less than it normally costs. The 64GB model is down to $319.99 right now, and since a brand-new unit costs $449.99, the savings are significant. The smaller configurations are discounted too.
The Kindle Kids is 32% off
A Kindle Kids edition is 32% off, down to $122.99 (originally $179.99). This is the lowest price since Amazon recently hiked prices on basically the entire Kindle lineup. The e-reader encourages learning with features like the Vocabulary Builder and Word Wise (it displays definitions directly above difficult words as you read), works within the Amazon ecosystem, and comes with a year-long subscription to Kindle Kids+ and a protective case in a bunch of colorful, unique styles. (Note that this sale is for the 2024 version of the device, not the new one Amazon announced this week.)
The Amazon Eero Max 7 Mesh 2-Pack is $350 off
Good wifi is a vital part of any modern home, and you'll struggle to beat the Eero Max 7 mesh system for reaching all corners of your property with the fastest possible speeds. If your home has a complicated layout or thick walls, and you've struggled to get a good signal in the past, give the Max 7 a go (it worked great for me). It's down to $1,189.99, a $350 drop from the original $1,699.99.
A Blink floodlight camera for $40
The Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is down to $39.99 on Amazon, a sizable discount from its $99.99 list price. This motion-activated floodlight doesn't require wiring, making it an easy way to cover a backyard, a driveway, a side yard, or whichever corner of your property never seems to get enough light. For more information, check out this PCMag review.
The GoPro Lit Hero is $65 off
The GoPro Lit Hero is down to $204.75 from its $270 launch price, the lowest price recorded. It records up to 4K at 60fps, captures 12MP photos, and is waterproof down to 16 feet without needing extra housing. Startup speeds are fast, autofocus works reliably, and the battery lasts around 90 minutes of continuous shooting (the battery is sealed and cannot be swapped out mid-day). The built-in LED light is also brighter than expected for a camera this small, although it feels more useful underwater or during emergencies than for everyday clips.
This clip-on Ultimate Ears speaker is $42
The Ultimate Ears Miniroll is down to $41.99 (originally $79.99), the lowest it has sold for so far. It’s a small, flat, puck-shaped Bluetooth speaker that weighs just over half a pound, with a removable rubber strap you can attach to a backpack, bike handlebar, or shower caddy. Despite its size, the Miniroll can get surprisingly loud—which PCMag confirms in its review—and at moderate volume, it has enough sound for a kitchen or backyard without sounding thin. As for its battery life, you get about 12 hours of playback before it needs a charge over USB-C, while its IP67 rating protects it from dust and a brief dunk in water.
A paper-like TCL tablet for $120 off
TCL's NXTPAPER 14 Android tablet, which has a massive matte screen with different viewing modes for reading, streaming video, and writing, is $349.98 (originally $469.99) after a 26% discount. With a 14.3-inch display, the NXTPAPER 14 might not be as portable as other tablets on the market, but the screen itself is the biggest perk. The matte display has a paper-like feel and three different viewing modes: You can switch from black-and-white Ink Paper Mode to Color Paper Mode (a must for comics) to full color (for streaming video or using other full-motion apps) with the push of a button.
The Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet is 50% off
The Fire HD 10 might not be winning any tech awards, but it's an amazing value, offering a good balance of performance and affordability for anyone who wants a tablet to stream movies and TV, play casual games, browse the web, and read or listen to music and podcasts. Right now, the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is 50% off, bringing its price down to a record low of $72.99.
A premium OLED TV with a $1,000 discount
If you're looking for a premium model, Samsung’s 65-inch S90H OLED TV is down to $1,697.99 from $2,697.99 at launch, saving you $1,000. The sale price is easier to justify when you consider that this is a new 2026 model. If the 65-inch model does not suit your space, Samsung also sells the S90H in 42-, 48-, 55-, 77-, and 83-inch versions, and those sizes are discounted as well.
An Acer OLED gaming monitor for 43% off
The Acer Predator X27U is a premium gaming monitor that gets most things right—the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time make fast shooters and racing games feel incredibly smooth, especially if you are coming from a standard 144Hz LCD panel. Motion blur is minimal, and its FreeSync Premium compatibility helps reduce tearing without much setup hassle. The 1440p resolution also feels like a good balance for most people. You get sharper visuals than 1080p without needing the kind of graphics card power that 4K gaming still demands. Plus, its stand adjusts for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot, which sounds minor until you spend eight hours staring at a screen positioned slightly wrong. At $314.99 (originally $549.99), this is an incredible deal for a gaming monitor.
