There is a wide array of media players and streaming set-top boxes on the market today, giving consumers plenty of options when it comes to setting up a home entertainment center. Many people rely on multiple devices for enjoying movies and TV shows, but nobody likes juggling a bunch of remotes. Thankfully, all-in-one products like the Logitech Harmony 700 universal remote can help simplify things.

The Harmony 700 is compatible with more than 220,000 products from about 5,000 manufacturers. Designed to seamlessly integrate with virtually any Bluetooth-capable device, this universal remote can simultaneously connect to up to eight of your media players for complete command over your home entertainment setup. Sync the remote with your compatible Bluetooth speakers, music players, TVs, streaming boxes, DVD and Blu-Ray players, and more.

Logitech Harmony 700 universal remoteUnlike traditional remotes that typically use AA or AAA batteries, the Logitech Harmony 700 universal remote features a rechargeable internal battery. The remote powers up via the included AC adapter, and a single charge gives the device roughly a week’s worth of juice so you’re not left hunting for batteries. A color LCD readout on the remote provides quick and convenient access to your favorite channels and most-used commands.

The Logitech Harmony 700 universal remote has earned excellent reviews from CNET and PCMag, along with an impressive 4.4-star user rating on Best Buy. This unit generally goes for around $60 on other websites but Best Buy currently has it on sale for just $40, making it a solid bargain if you are on the market for a battery-free, all-in-one remote for your home theater setup. Note that the Harmony 700 has been recently discontinued by Logitech in favor of the 650, which is a similar model that requires batteries and is not rechargeable. If you are thinking of buying this remote, now is a great time to snag one for a discount before it’s gone.

Sonos is one of the most popular brands in the audio industry, so if you're looking at speaker deals, you wouldn't want to miss this chance to get the Sonos One SL for a very cheap price of $159 from Best Buy. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this $41 discount from the wireless speaker's original price of $200 though, so if you don't want to miss out, we're recommending that you complete your purchase right away. Every minute of delay increases the risk of having this offer slip through your fingers.

Why you should buy the Sonos One SL wireless speaker
The Sonos One SL is a cheaper version of the first-generation Sonos One, but it retains most of the features that made the latter an extremely popular wireless speaker ahead of its successor -- the second-generation Sonos One that's featured in our list of the best smart speakers. The Sonos One SL is capable of stereo sound if you pair two of them, as well as multi-room playback if you have more than one of the wireless speaker installed around your home. With a tweeter and a mid-woofer, the Sonos One SL will be able to fill your room with high-quality audio.

Usually $299, this HP Chromebook is discounted to $149 today
HP Chromebook 14b sits on a desk.

If the laptop deals that you come across are too expensive because all you need is a basic device, then you may want to check out Chromebook deals. Here's an affordable offer that may catch your attention -- the HP Chromebook 14a for only $149, following a $150 discount on its original price of $299. That's insanely cheap, and we don't think that price will hold for a long time. If you're interested in taking advantage of this bargain, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase immediately because it may be gone as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook 14a
A Chromebook is a laptop that's powered by Google's Chrome OS, which is a web-based operating system that allows devices to run fast and smooth despite cheap components. For example, the HP Chromebook 14a is only equipped with the Intel Celeron N4120 processor, Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM, but it's good enough for the basic tasks that you'll need to complete for work or school such as typing documents, doing online research, and making presentations. The HP Chromebook 14a doesn't have much built-in storage as it only comes with a 64GB eMMC, but you'll have all the space that you need for your files on Google Drive.

Best Buy refurbished laptops -- starting at $113
Best Buy's refurbished laptops are -- you guessed it -- Geek Squad Certified and while they may not be free and clear of absolutely all cosmetic scuffs they are still exceptionally clean and always in working order. Some of them even come with additional software like virus tools, streaming access, like Apple TV+, and much more. Of course, the best part is that you can get a premium and fully upgraded model for less, often with more storage, more power, and more features than you would when buying a base model brand new.
