It could be quite frustrating not to be in control of everything in your environment, especially when you got roommates involved. Let your room’s climate control be the least of your worries this coming school year with a portable air conditioner. Though window-type units may do the job just as well, it is more unlikely for dorms to allow you to bore a hole through the wall when there is a less intrusive way possible. Get yourself out of a sticky situation and score $71 in savings with Amazon's 16% discount on the LG portable air conditioner (LP0817WSR) . Usually reeling a $389 price tag, you can keep yourself cool at just $319, plus the chance to qualify for another $50 off with your Amazon Rewards Visa Card.

In searching for a capable portable air conditioner, you’ll simply have to match the BTU, or British Thermal Unit to your room’s area. Dorm rooms usually range from 100 to 200 square fee0,t so the 8,000 BTU packed in the LG LP1017WSR should greatly suffice. Its two-speed fan and 24-hour on/off timer should pose as an efficient way to circulate air in the room as well as save on energy when not much cooling is required.

With high humidity being a cause for discomfort and respiratory concerns, you can breathe easier knowing that LG LP0817WSR clears 1.8 pints of moisture per hour or a cumulative daily average of 43.2 from the air. And much to your advantage, continuous operation is achievable with its self-evaporation system in place but a water full indicator should let you know otherwise. 

Portability is the name of the game, and LG’s LP0817WSR has caster wheels attached to its base to show for it. You can simply roll with this unit and install it wherever there is access to a window along with a socket compatible to 115 volts. You need not be preoccupied with the window orientation be it horizontal or vertical as the kit would have provisions for either. With auto-swing louvers and a 6-foot long cord, finding the perfect spot for this portable AC shouldn’t be too perplexing.

Your room’s climate is programmable to the digital control panel atop the LG LP0817WSR. This unit comes with a full-function remote that lets you change settings from across the room. Moreover, with Wi-Fi connectivity, you can register the LG portable unit through the app and assume control for mode, temperature, and airflow from there. Replacement parts would less likely cost you anything more as the filters are reusable and washable under running water. Upgrade your space in a cool way with the LG portable air conditioner (LP0817WSR)  available for $71 less on Amazon.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.
