$349.99 Save $212.04

For a speaker that's as powerful as it is portable, check out the Sony SRS-XG300. It packs 25 hours of a battery life, a 10-minute charge boost that delivers another 70 minutes, colorful LED lights, and in-app sound customization. "If you're looking for an easily portable outdoor speaker that delivers some serious thunder, the SRS-XG300 earns our Editors' Choice," our sister site PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) summed up in their review. It's a little steep at its full cost of $349.99, but as of April 8, it's down to $137.95. That's 61% in savings and a new record-low, beating its price from last week by $5.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

$49.99 Save $25.00 with code WIN4KFTV

Only a few bucks more than the basic Fire TV Stick, the 4K version steps up the features in every way. It's equipped with cinematic 4K Ultra HD, as well as support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and WiFi 6. A quad-core 1.7 GHz processor delivers faster app starts and more fluid navigation. Plus, it allows you to play Xbox games without a console, unlike its basic counterpart. Regularly $49.99, you can snag it on sale once again for just $24.99 using the code WIN4KFTV. That's 50% in savings.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

$219.99 Save $62.80

Tablets have come a long way over the years, with some just as (if not more) advanced than laptops. But if you want a tablet that simply serves as a tablet, you don't need to spend a fortune. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is reliable and can handle basic everyday tasks proficiently and is on sale for just $157.19. That's 29% off. It packs an 11-inch display, quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, and expandable storage up to 1TB. Last year, our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed it the "best low-cost Android tablet you can buy."

It doesn't offer USB connectivity like its bigger siblings or work with your home printer, but it does connect via Bluetooth for convenience.
