A good set of two-way radios is a must for heading into the great outdoors with friends. However, many models don’t provide enough range to cover all of those wide open spaces, however, and rough terrain and bad weather conditions can reduce communication range even further. If your current walkie-talkies aren’t cutting it, consider a model made for adventures, such as the Uniden GMR5088-2CKHS two-way radio.

The Uniden GMR5088-2CKHS was our favorite long-range radio in our recent roundup of the best walkie-talkies you can buy, and you can now score a pair of these from Amazon for just $79. These two-way radios offer a range of up to 50 miles, even across uneven terrain or in inclement weather.

Along with an impressive 50-mile range, the Uniden GMR5088-2CKHS two-way radio offers 22 channels, which can be locked with privacy codes. The Power Boost feature conserves the radio battery when you’re communicating across open land, but can ramp up the signal in rough or crowded terrain. NOAA Weather Alerts warn you of approaching storm systems, while a built-in light doubles as an emergency flashlight or strobe.

Uniden GMR5088-2CKHS two-way radio The durable plastic housing features Realtree’s Xtra camouflage pattern — great for the hunters and woodsmen out there — and has a JIS-7 waterproof rating, which means these radios can stand up to drops, spills, and splashes on the trail. They can even be submerged in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes without damage, because accidents happen.

Normally priced at $116, a tidy 32 percent discount brings the Uniden GMR5088-2CKHS two-way radio down to just $79 for a limited time. This package includes two radio units, a USB charging cradle, and two pairs of in-ear headphones. The radios can power up via any USB-capable device such as a laptop or portable charger, as well.

LG just knocked $300 off this 16-inch lightweight laptop

lg ultrapc 17 review front angled

For those people who are constantly on the go, grabbing a thin and light laptop makes life a lot easier, especially since they tend to weigh a lot less while also having very capable performance. Unfortunately, that does come at a bit of an extra cost, so we're happy to see this deal from LG on the UltraPC laptop that knocks it down to just $700 from its usual price of $1,000. That's an excellent price for a laptop that can outperform competitors at the same price range, even with the discounted price.

Why you should buy the LG UltraPC laptop
This new version of the Ultra PC is a big upgrade on the previous LG UltraPC laptop and follows the same lineup of LG's very thin laptops like the LG Gram 17, so LG has quite a lot of experience in this market. That's pretty obvious by the fact that the UltraPC has a tiny 0.64-inch thickness, making it thinner than many books. It doesn't lose out on other features, though, and it still comes with a pretty substantial 16-inch screen that runs a modified FHD resolution of 1920 x 1200, which may be a bit low for such a nice laptop, but it's not a dealbreaker if it helps keep the price down. The keyboard is also great to use, and while the previous version of the UltraPC had a comically small touchpad, this new one is a lot more substantial and useful.

Windows 11 Home usually costs $139 — but it’s only $30 today

If you've recently bought yourself a new desktop or laptop, you're most likely using Windows 11 Home edition, which is still pretty good, but it does lock some features away that you can only get with the Pro edition. While they aren't completely necessary, they are nice to have, but the usual $200 cost of a Windows 11 Pro license means they aren't worth the cost. Luckily, there's a great deal from StackSocial that discounts Windows 11 Pro down to just $30, which constitutes a whopping 84% discount on the regular price. You better grab it quite too, because the sale is going to be ending soon.

Why you should buy Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Most of the features that you'll find on Windows 11 Pro are targeted to, you guessed it, professionals, but that doesn't mean that you can't also take advantage of it. For example, while both versions of Windows 11 are pretty secure, Windows 11 Pro has extra security features. For example, the Pro version comes with Defender Application Guard, which is an additional level of security that protects your files even if your computer is stolen, and the BitLocker can directly lock your files so nobody can read them even if they can access them.
