There’s really no such thing as a “non-smart TV” these days. Still, there are those of us rocking some vintage AV tech that refuses to die, and many older TVs cannot connect to Wi-Fi. If this sounds like your household, then we’re glad to bring the following offer to your attention: Right now, the Roku Express HD is marked down to $18 from $30. The last time this streaming device was this cheap was July 2024.

We tested an older version of the Roku Express back in November 2019, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “With everything you need, and nothing more, the new Roku Express is a bargain of a streamer.”

Why you should buy the Roku Express HD

When it comes to streaming apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Disney Plus, Roku has got you covered. When it comes to super-offbeat, third-party apps that focus on specific genres and content types, Roku has got you covered. Yeah, the Roku Channel Store is home to thousands of movie and TV show apps, games, and access to hundreds of live free TV stations. Just plug the Roku Express HD into your TV, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’ll be ready to start streaming! 

The Express HD is small enough to fit in most media consoles, though its line-of-sight design does necessitate a clear path from the included remote to the streaming device. Speaking of remote, the controller even features a few app shortcut buttons for quick-launching services like Netflix. You’ll even be able to use Apple AirPlay to wirelessly beam certain media from an iPhone to your Roku Express.

It’s hard to find a reliable streaming device that costs this little, but the Roku Express HD is the ace in the hole every budget shopper has been waiting for. Save $12 when you purchase today, and be sure to take a look at our lists of the best Amazon deals, Best Buy deals, and Walmart deals for even more discounts on top AV devices.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
