If you’re on the hunt for internet deals because you want to replace your current connection or you want an additional network for your home, you may want to sign up for a Starlink subscription. Here’s your opportunity: Today you can get the Starlink Standard Kit with a $200 discount from Best Buy, dropping the bundle’s price to $300 from $500. The monthly service plan is a different cost, but at least you can pocket some savings with your purchase of the necessary hardware with this offer. You have to act fast though, as we’re not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain.

Why you should buy the Starlink Standard Kit

Before you proceed with buying the Starlink Standard Kit, you should first understand what is Starlink. It’s a service that provides broadband-level internet access using a constellation of satellites in space, which you can connect to through a satellite receiver. Unlike other satellite internet services, Starlink’s satellites operate at a lower orbit for faster speeds and better latency, for download speeds of between 50 and 150 Mbps and upload speeds of around 10 Mbps.

The Starlink Standard Kit comes with everything that you’ll need to tap into your Starlink subscription, including a Starlink satellite receiver, a Wi-Fi router, cables, and a base. You can easily set everything up yourself — you just need to make sure that the satellite receiver has a clear view of the sky, and the Starlink app will help you determine the best location for you. The Starlink Standard Kit works best with the Residential plan for subscribers at a fixed location, which costs $120 per month, or with the Roam plan for subscribers who are always on the move, which costs $150 per month.

Signing up for a Starlink connection comes with an upfront cost for the hardware, but that investment is cheaper right now as the Starlink Standard Kit is $200 off from Best Buy, slashing its price to only $300 from $500 originally. There’s no telling how long you have left to be able to take advantage of the offer though, so we highly recommend purchasing the Starlink Standard Kit right now while the discount is still online.

We see gaming PC deals just about every day, but Best Buy is offering one of the best markdowns we’ve seen this year.

For a limited time, you can purchase the former for $1,100 (normally $1,800) and the latter for $800 (normally $1,200).

This Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 deal cuts the price by $1,000

Microsoft's Surface devices are powerful and versatile -- but those benefits usually come with a steep price. That's why there's always high demand for Surface Laptop and Surface Pro deals, and here's one that we think will sell out quickly -- the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 for $2,500, following a $1,000 discount from B&H Photo Video on its original price of $3,500. It's still not cheap, but it's an excellent price for a laptop of this caliber. This deal ends on September 22, but it could sell out any minute.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2
The first thing that stands out with the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is its beautiful 14.4-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR. The device also offers three modes: Laptop Mode where you can use its keyboard for typing, Stage Mode where you pull the display towards you to cover the keyboard and give you an angled display for watching streaming shows, and Studio Mode that transforms it into a tablet for sketching. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 also comes with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded in its 2TB SSD.
