Amazon

As part of the Amazon Cyber Monday deals currently out there, you can buy an Acer Chromebook for $65 off the usual price right now at Amazon making it a great budget buy if you simply need a cheap productivity-based laptop.

With a normal list price of $365, this Acer Chromebook 514 is down to just $300, saving you 18% on the usual price which works out at $65 off. That’s a big discount on an already well-priced Chromebook with plenty about it to appeal to those looking for something to use working from home or when studying.

In exchange for your $300, you get a Celeron Dual-Core processor, 4GB of memory, 32GB of eMMC storage, and a 14-inch full HD widescreen LED-backlit touchscreen display. A backlit display is always a great way to get the most out of your images and that’s just the start of the classiness emanating from this well-priced Chromebook.

While some Chromebooks look a little cheap or tacky, this Acer Chromebook looks pretty smart, even compared to the best Chromebooks out there right now. As always, you’re restricted to running Chrome OS but there are plenty of apps to download from the Google Play Store and you can use the Cloud to store all your files. The beauty behind this Acer Chromebook and other Chromebooks is the ability to be so flexible with where your files go, allowing you to focus on work rather than maintaining your system.

With a large trackpad, comfortable keyboard, and a delightfully crisp display, there’s a lot to like here and that goes even more so when you’re saving $65 on the usual price. You need to be fast though. This is an Amazon Lightning deal so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

If you’d prefer the flexibility of a ‘full’ laptop, we have plenty of great Cyber Monday laptop deals for you, focused on the very best offers out there right now.

The DJI Air 2S drone just got an unprecedented price cut

A close-up of the DJI Air 2S in flight.

The most popular drone brand, DJI, is selling their DJI Air S2 model for $150 cheaper on Amazon today. It's down to $849 from its original $999. Drone deals like this tend to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab it soon. If you're not sure whether this drone fits all your remotely piloted aerial device needs, read more about it below.

Why you should buy the DJI Air 2S
The DJI Air 2S, a refresh of the DJI Mavic Air 2, features the same compact and foldable design, but with a 20-megapixel, 1-inch sensor that's double in size from its predecessor. The larger sensor means it can draw in more light, for clearer photos and videos particularly in low-light environments. The drone is also capable of recording 5.4K videos at up to 30 frames per second, or 4K videos at up to 60 frames per second, so you can capture memorable moments at the best possible quality. You'll also have access to various QuickShot modes that record your chosen subject in different ways, and the new MasterShot mode that combines some of the most popular QuickShot modes to automatically produce professional-looking footage.

One-day sale drops the price of this Chromebook to just $169

ifa 2019 acer announces new line of chromebooks chromebook 314 cb314 1h 1ht 07

If you aren't ready to buy a full-fledged laptop, a Chromebook is a great alternative since they're usually cheaper while still coming in the same body as a traditional laptop. The Acer Chromebook 314 is a great example, and while it won't win any awards for high-end specifications, it's a solid device and a great budget option if you want something basic. Luckily, Best Buy has a great deal, bringing it down to $169 from $269, making it more affordable.

Why you should buy the Acer Chromebook 314
At 14-inches, you might not expect the Acer 314 to have much going for it, but surprisingly, it has a touch screen with up to 10-finger multitouch, which is a nice little addition, although it would have been nice if it was convertible to use in tablet mode. Nonetheless, the overall build quality is sturdy, with little to no flex on the keyboard, and battery life should see you up to around 12 hours or so, depending on your usage, which is great. It's also worth noting that the screen not only uses an IPS panel, which gives you better color reproduction and viewing angles, but it can also hit 300 nits of peak brightness, meaning you can use it in a well-lit room without too much issue.
