With the recent announcement of Amazon Prime Day returning on July 12th and 13th, you might be thinking that the best deals on things like TVs are yet to come. There are bound to be great discounts that you can take advantage of, but we have prepared a few for you right here and now.
Today you’re getting the best price yet for the 65-inch TCL 5 Series TV, reduced to $549.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. This model comes equipped with Google TV for all your streaming needs, and slightly bucks the trend of TCL sets that come with Roku’s software – although this version also has the same $150 discount if that’s what you prefer. Normally priced at $699.99, the TCL 5 Series offers a lot of value at full price, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support. Google Assistant voice control is also built into the Google TV version. However, if you don’t want your TV to have mics listening to that key phrase, there’s a physical switch on the back to turn it off. Ultimately, at $549.99, this is a lot of TV for the money, undercutting its fancier Mini-LED 6-Series cousin by almost half.
If you need a tablet for a kid and seem to think your kid is “pro” enough, Amazon’s Fire 7 Kids Pro is currently half price on Best Buy and Amazon. The small tablet normally costs $99.99, but you can get it in one of four colors/themes for $49.99. You’re not paying much for the tech, but in a way you’re paying with some inconveniences – this 2019 tablet uses a micro-USB connector. The newer Fire 8 and Fire 10 Kids tablets have recently been upgraded with USB-C, newer processors, and more RAM, but this price undercuts them all. And like other Amazon Kids devices, it comes in a durable case and has a two-year warranty against accidental damage.
It’s that time again. Drop is once again offering its buy-one-get-one deal on MT3 profile keycaps. When you select two qualifying sets from Drop’s landing page and use the promo code MT3BOGOSUMMER At checkout, the second set is free. There are many iterations on offer such as Dasher and Cyber, but also some fresh faces from the Lord of the Rings collection and Godspeed by designer MiTo. The latter are made from PBT, while most of the other sets here are made from double-shot ABS. These BOGO deals are a great time to stock up if you have multiple mechanical keyboards, or even create a custom setup by combining two sets into a one-of-a-kind fusion. You have until June 20th at 11:59pm PT to make your decision and get creative. However, please note that some sets may not be shipped immediately (look for “Ready to ship” under the “Add to Cart” button).
Amazon is offering a daily price for a two-pack of its Eero Pro 6 mesh WiFi routers. You can get the two routers for $319, which is a savings of $80 off the regular price. This deal usually comes around every month or so, and while it’s possible, it could drop lower for Prime Day in just under a month.
A newer model of Eero routers is now available, although it costs $499 for a similar two-pack. It’s nice to be future-proof, but that’s a little hard to swallow. Meanwhile, these latest generation Eero Pro 6 routers can cover a home up to 3,500 square feet and reach gigabit speeds as well as support Wi-Fi 6. They are compact and easy to set up great coverage. Two of these routers should be enough for most average-sized homes, unless you have a particularly tricky layout or very thick walls. Read our review.
More offers for the nicest day of the week:
-
Woot has USB-A to Lightning cables for iPhones and older iPads from Amazon Basics ranging from $4.99 to $8.99, and you can save an additional $3 at checkout if you use the code CABLE. Multiple colors are available and sizes are one foot, three foot, and six foot.
- Would you like to replace some old phone chargers with more compact ones that charge faster? You can get a twin pack of Anker 511 Nano 20W USB-C Chargers for $21.69 (about $9 off) in black or white.
-
Best Buy has a SanDisk 400GB microSD with Nintendo branding for $79.99 ($100 off). That’s a lot of storage space to add lots of games to a Nintendo Switch. Honestly, this isn’t a better value than SanDisk cards without the Nintendo name and logo on them, but how many SD cards have a blue Mario Kart sleeve?
-
Woot has some discounts on Razer and SteelSeries PC accessories including gaming mice, keyboards and mouse/desk mats. You can get the Razer Gigantus v2 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad, which is large enough to cover your own desk, for $34.99 ($15 off). However, maybe take a few measurements of your space so it doesn’t become a tablecloth.

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Google Assistant is down to $24.99 (half price) at Lowe’s. It’s hard to beat the simplicity of this smart clock when all you need is a bedside clock with some smart features like weather conditions and alarms. Read our review.
