Amazon's biggest sale of the year just wrapped, but that doesn't mean the deals are over. If you were looking for a budget-friendly laptop, but didn't end up finding anything under $100, our answer to Prime Day, Deal Days, is still bringing discounts for a few more days. Check out this Chromebook with a 73% discount that's great for students, travelers, or anyone with basic needs.
It's not trying to be a full workstation, but it nails the basics. You'll get 4GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, and an Intel N3450 quad-core processor, which is plenty for emails, streaming, document editing, or hopping on Zoom calls. Plus, it has a touchscreen and weighs under three pounds, so it's super easy to carry.
How is it discounted so dramatically? It's a grade "B" refurbished device, so it arrives with some light scuffing on its exterior. However, that doesn't affect its internal performance—it basically just means you get an even steeper discount.

While many small businesses rely on QuickBooks, the subscription pricing for the online version can be a serious financial burden, especially with payroll features that push monthly costs to as much as $270 when promotions aren't active. That adds up fast for freelancers, new ventures, and lean teams. It only makes sense that our QuickBooks lifetime subscription has been flying off the virtual shelves—now 71% off for our version of Prime Day.
This version includes key features like inventory management, sales and purchase order tracking, job costing, fixed asset tracking, and tools for tracking billable time, making it a practical option for freelancers and businesses that want more control without a subscription. It also includes bank feed integration and robust reporting tools to help you stay organized and prepare for tax season.
Whether you're just getting started or want to streamline your existing operations, QuickBooks Desktop 2024 offers a familiar, dependabl

This is an easy DIY product consisting of a central hub, one door/window sensor, and a keyfob for arming and disarming. Once you have it set up, you can add Abode's reasonably priced motion sensors, smart lock, security camera, video doorbell, and keypad (for arming/disarming) as you need them. You can also arm/disarm the system with the keyfob or the Abode app on your phone. You can read about our personal experience with the product in our Abode Security System review from 2024.
The Abode Security Kit is compatible with both Amazon's Alexa and the Google Home ecosystem, and it comes with the option to add one of Abode's monitoring services. With the Standard Plan ($75 per year), you need to notify the monitoring center when your system goes into an alarm state (there's a 93dB siren in the hub), they can then dispatch first responders to your home.
With the Pro plan ($240 per year, currently discounted to $199), the monitoring center is automatically notified when your system sounds the alarm. You also get 4G cellular backup with the higher-priced plan, which keeps your system connected should your primary broadband connection fail. There's a backup battery in the hub to keep the system operational during a blackout.
You'll need to hardwire the hub to your router to set things up, but it can operate on your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network after that. The sensor and keyfob come pre-paired to the hub out of the box, making it very easy to set up.
At its regular price, the Abo
