If you use the Sonos Playbar as your home’s audio control center, you can connect components in other rooms or any part of your home reachable via your Wi-Fi network. The Playbar has six mid-woofers and three tweeters, each with a digital amplifier for precise voice and sound effect control. This smart device streams audio input via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. There’s also an optical audio input port but no HDMI ports. In addition to Wi-Fi support, the Playbar also includes two 10/100 Ethernet ports for wired network connections.

The Sonos Playbar doesn’t include a remote control device, but you have several options. You can configure your TV remote control to control the Playbar. If you download the Sonos app, then you can have complete control of all your Sonos components with an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Also, the Sonos Playbar is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to enable hands-free voice control. You can certainly use the Sonos Playbar as the sole audio component with a TV. If you have other audio components that you also wish to use with your TV, the Playbar is best suited as a center channel speaker.

The Sonos Playbar wireless soundbar ordinarily sells for $700, but Best Buy reduced the price to $600 during the Memorial Day Sale.

Give your home theater the power of Sonos Sub’s wireless subwoofer for low-frequency bass without the vibration in most strong subwoofers. The Sonos sub uses two face-to-face drivers, each with its own tuned digital amplifier to cancel the vibrations. The result is pure sound without irritating noise. The Sonos Sub works with any Sonos amplified components and is compatible with Apple Music content. You can connect to a network Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet port. The Sub is both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant compatible if you want to connect and control via voice. The downloadable Sonos Control app works with any iOS or Android mobile device for setup, configuration, and access to all controls and settings.

While the Sonos Sub lists for $700, it’s on sale for $600 during Best Buy’s Memorial Day Sales. If you’ve been waiting to add a Sonos Sub to your existing Sonos component or buying your first Sonos set up now, take advantage of the rare sale on this device.

If you’re on a budget, there are some great gaming laptop deals that can keep costs down right now. It’s easy to think you need to spend thousands, but in reality it’s surprising what you can buy for $700. Right now, you can buy the Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop for $700 instead of $1,100. Perfect for students on a budget but still wanting to game on the move, we’re here to tell you all about one of the better laptop deals available today.

Why you should buy the Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop
The Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop won’t be the kind of device you see among the best gaming laptops, but that isn’t to say it’s not worth checking out. It’s well suited for anyone on a tight budget but still looking to game. This particular model has an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor along with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. In an ideal world we'd like to see more, but at this price, we won’t complain too much. The storage space means you’ll need to stick to only having a few AAA games installed, but if you’re more of an indie fan, you’ll find the space goes much further. Either way, storage is the easiest thing to upgrade later.

If you’ve just snagged one of the many Amazon Echo deals around and you’re keen to continue making your home smarter on a budget, we’ve spotted some great smart lighting deals. Today at Best Buy, you can buy Govee LED Strip Lights on slae: just $25 for a 10 foot strip instead of $30, or $41 instead of $50 for 25 feet. We’re focusing on the 50 foot Govee LED Strip Light for $55 instead of $65, as it’s the best discount and you get a huge string of lights for the price. If all that sounds exciting, read on and we’ll tell you all about how well Govee lights work.

Why you should buy the Govee LED Strip Light
While the ruler of the best smart light bulb world is Philips Hue, I’d argue Govee is the best for light strips. I have a lot of Govee lights at home, and they were much more affordable than alternatives and work very well. The only disadvantage is the app isn’t quite as simple to use, but you soon get used to it.
