Today’s best Bose speaker deals

The SoundLink Micro is rugged and ready for action, yet still delivers that powerful Bose sound you’ve come to know. It’s IP67 water-resistant so safe for use outdoors, in many different scenarios. Plus, it offers up to six hours of continuous use on a single charge, with easy charging thanks to the Micro-B USB port. It has a convenient strap, works with the Bose Connect mobile app, and also syncs with Siri and Google Assistant — offering voice controls on the go.

Bose SoundLink Color — $91, was $130

SoundLink speakers are designed to be carried with you anywhere. If you want something a little beefier than a pill-style speaker, the SoundLink Color is a great option. Its flat design makes it easier to direct the sound. You can put it in the corner of the room and be assured that you’re getting the full effect. You can connect your phone wirelessly up to 30 feet away from the speaker. It has an eight-hour battery, so you don’t have to worry about it dying in the middle of a day trip.

They have strong bass levels, meaning you don’t have to shell out for a subwoofer if you don’t want to.

How to choose a Bluetooth speaker

As one of the top names in the home audio market, Bose’s speaker offerings range from compact wireless speakers to full-sized units designed for stereos and home theater systems. Most of the Bose speaker deals you’ll find online are for its ever-popular Bluetooth speakers, though, and chances are good that these are what you’re shopping for.

This is premium hardware, and it goes without saying that cheap Bose speakers aren’t exactly common. Thankfully, there are almost always Bose speaker deals to be found year-round, especially during seasonal sales. You can generally expect to pay anywhere from $80 to $300 for the most popular models when they’re on sale, with discounts between $30 and $100 being fairly regular. The size of these discounts naturally scales up with the price of the speakers. You’ll also want to settle on the features you want and which ones you can live without, such as built-in voice controls or streaming capabilities.

Shoppers prone to decision paralysis will be glad to know that Bose isn’t one of those brands that offer a bunch of similar products at identical price points — once you’ve got a budget in mind, it’s pretty easy to narrow down your choices. In the sub-$200 price bracket, you’ll find compact Bluetooth speakers like the Bose SoundLink Micro and SoundLink Mini as well as larger cheap Bose speakers like the SoundLink Color II. These are straightforward (but of course, well-made and nice-sounding) Bluetooth speakers without too many bells and whistles. This is reflected in their prices, as these models typically go for around $100-$170 when not on sale.

Moving above those cheap Bose speakers toward the $200-$250 price range brings us to the SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ which, with their 360-degree design similar to that of the Amazon Echo, are great Bluetooth speakers for enjoying room-filling sound. The Bose Home Speaker 300 is another excellent option in this range and also offers 360-degree sound output along with built-in Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for the smart home crowd.

If your budget for Bose speaker deals is around $300-$350, then you’re squarely in top-tier territory with models like the Bose Home Speaker 500 and Bose Portable Smart Speaker. These pack the best drivers for delivering the highest-quality sound as well as smart features like Alexa and built-in streaming capabilities from services like Spotify and Pandora. The Home Speaker 500 is a great choice if you’re looking for a Bose speaker for your home, whereas the Portable Smart Speaker (as its name implies) is great for taking on the go.

Larger speakers, such as bookshelf speakers, soundbars, and floor speakers (the type you’d use for a home stereo or theater system) are a little more technically complicated than those of the Bluetooth variety.

HP Chromebook 11a -- $200, was $260

Chromebook deals are always popular and it's particularly great to see such a cheap one here. While this 11-inch HP Chromebook won't exactly be rivaling the best Chromebooks, it's certainly inexpensive. It keeps things basic with a MediaTek processor, 4GB of memory and 32GB of eMMC storage. That makes it ideal for a student on a tight budget or someone that just needs something for occasional use. Similarly, its 11-inch HD display is pretty basic and about as small as it can get. On the plus side, that means battery life is long and efficient which is mostly what anyone could want from a Chromebook.

This Xbox Series S bundle just got a rare price cut

It's not often that Xbox deals involve a great discount on an Xbox Series S bundle but that's exactly what Dell is offering right now. Today, you can buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S -- Fortnite & Rocket League bundle with nine in-game cosmetics and virtual currency for Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys, all for $270. A saving of $30, 10% off may not be the biggest discount but it's an unusual one for one of the more sought-after consoles right now. Odds are you already know you want it but if you haven't decided just yet, here's what you need to know.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S
The Xbox Series S is the more affordable of the Xbox range now. It's an incredibly small console for what it offers, being slim enough to toss into a bag and take to your friend's home. Because of its slender size and cheaper price, it only has 512GB of SSD storage. With games taking up a lot of room, you won't be able to install many games. Crucially, the console is digital only with no disc drive so while there are all the best games on Xbox Game Pass to check out, you will need to swap them around frequently.

Usually $939, this ultra-portable Lenovo laptop is $249 today

Today, one of the cheapest laptop deals is on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e 2-in-1 laptop. It's down to just $249 for a limited time. Lenovo believes it's normally priced at $939 but that's based on its estimated value system. The idea is that Lenovo collects figures based on other retailers but it tends to mean higher sounding prices than the reality. Whether you're saving $690 or a fair bit less though, $249 is a super low price for an ultra-durable, 2-in-1 laptop with great battery life, that's small enough to carry anywhere, so we're telling you about it -- even if the stated retail price isn't entirely accurate.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e
We'll get straight to the point -- the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e won't rival the best laptops. It has an Intel Celeron processor so it's not exactly speedy while 4GB of memory doesn't exactly help. On the plus side, 128GB of SSD storage gives you a reasonable amount of room along with a bit of a speed boost. More appealing still is its 11.6-inch HD screen. Why? Because it's a touchscreen so if you can't afford one of the best 2-in-1 laptops, you still get some of the advantages here. With a 360-degree hinge, you can rotate the laptop screen around to use it in tent mode to watch videos or use it as a tablet that runs Windows 11 Home. The laptop comes with a garaged pen so you can use that or rely on your fingertips instead.
