Staples must be hurting for business, because the chain is releasing some fairly substantial coupons as of late. Last week, it was offering $50 off any tablet or computer and now the office supply store is offering $100 off any tablet in its inventory. The only downside: Staples doesn’t sell the iPad.

>> Here is the coupon.

Still, there are a number of great Android devices to choose from if you’re in the market for a tablet. The HP TouchPad and BlackBerry PlayBook offer nice alternatives to Google’s OS as well.

Here’s the complete list, straight from Staples.com:

HP TouchPad
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Motorola Xoom
Dell Streak 7
Asus Eee Pad Transformer (has an attachable keyboard)
Acer Iconia Tab A500
Toshiba Thrive
BlackBerry PlayBook
HTC Flyer (7-inch)

The offer is only redeemable in store, though we have not used it ourselves.

(We have no relationship with Staples. This post is only meant to be of interest to anyone who may be looking for a tablet. Thanks to Phandroid for continuing to discover these deals.)

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop losing your notes and start the school year with one of these e-readers that double as notebooks

Three e-readers with pen support worth adding to your back to school shopping list.

Your backpack is heavier than it needs to be. Multiple notebooks for all your classes, a stack of printed PDFs, and nothing that talks to anything else. The notes from week two are in a different notebook than the notes from week six, and you'd be lucky to find either one in December.

One device that you can use to read books and PDFs, take notes, and keep everything organized would fix this, and that's exactly what e-readers with pen input support are built to do. And you don't need to spend what you'd drop on textbooks for a semester to get one either. I've rounded up six worth buying this back-to-school season, and I'll tell you exactly who each one is for.
