Most of the best Chromebooks have been available for over a year now, which means that deals are much more likely this year than they were last year — when we were also in the midst of the 2020 Chromebook shortage.Part of why Chromebooks have (almost) always had great deals on Prime Day is that mid-range Chromebooks come down to budget prices, and budget Chromebooks come down to impulse-buy prices. Considering that Chrome OS is designed to run on more affordable hardware to begin with, and that means that Prime Day is the best time to get a laptop, especially a budget laptop. Premium Chromebooks like the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook are already seeing deep discounts ahead of Prime Day, so you can grab a great Chromebook and have it in time for Prime Day on Monday.No matter your budget this Prime Day, Goo...

There are two parts to building a NAS server. First up is the enclosure itself — we've already highlighted the best Prime Day NAS deals — and once you have that sorted out, you'll need to pick up hard drives to slot into the NAS.Thankfully, Prime Day has a few decent deals for NAS-focused hard drives, so whether you're buying a NAS for the first time and need storage or are looking to buy additional hard drives to increase the storage of your enclosure, these are the best deals. I have dozens of hard drives from all major manufacturers, and in this post I'm recommending drives that I've used in my own NAS enclosures for at least three years or more. Essentially, these are the best hard drives for NAS enclosures.There's one point to note here: hard drives that are 6TB or more are still very limited in availability, so you won't find these drives on sale for Prime Day. However, if you're looking for drives between 1TB and 6TB, there are plenty of great deals available right now....

Home automation is both awesome and easy, provided you use the right stuff. Trust me, I've tried it both the hard way and the easy way and the most awesome way is when you just plug stuff in, follow a few simple instructions, and it all just works.

The Google Pixel 5 is a wonderful phone with amazing cameras, but it continued an irksome trend from the Pixel 3 and Pixel 4: it's very picky about wireless chargers. The Pixel 3 basically only fast-charged on the Pixel Stand. The Pixel 4 was slightly better but it was still hard to find a reliable wireless charger for. The Pixel 5 supports 15W wireless charging using the Extended Power Profile (EPP) standard within the Qi charging spec, but because Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus all use proprietary wireless charging profiles, EPP actually isn't that widely used.Thankfully, one of the best Pixel 5 wireless chargers is seeing a Prime Day deal, even if it doesn't look like it on the listing page. The iOttie iON Wireless Duo is 30% off at checkout, bringing it back down to its lowest price ever. Just be aware, Pixel owners: only the Dark Grey is Pixel 5 compatible, the Light Grey and Navy Blue are 10W chargers more optimized for Apple and Samsung devices.For you and your (Pixel) budsiO...
