These days, most of us have a few USB-powered devices but depending on the charging accessories you own, it can be difficult to keep them all powered up at the same time. The RAVPower 65W USB Desktop Charging Station is designed to solve that problem and lets you power up to four devices at once. Today it’s down to just $34.99 at Amazon for the first time when you clip the coupon on its product page and then use promo code IXSGSANI during checkout. That saves you $15 off its usual cost and beats the best price this charger has ever reached without a promo code before.

RAVPower’s 65W USB Desktop Charging Station is a perfect pick-up for those who recently began working at home and want to keep their phone or tablet powered up close to their computer desk. It’s equipped with two USB-C ports with Power Delivery, as well as two USB-A ports and a 65W total output. That means you could charge a USB-C laptop like the MacBook Air at 45W and a tablet at 18W simultaneously. The charger intell…

Black Friday is generally a great time of the year to score discounted video game consoles, but 2020 could still turn out to be an exception. This year, stores have had trouble keeping consoles like the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro in stock at their regular prices. However, with the all-new PlayStation 5 models finally released in mid-November, retailers may take this opportunity to offer customers the PS4 or PS4 Pro at a low, discounted price one last time — if there’s any stock left, that is.

PlayStation 4 Black Friday deals are generally available each year, so there’s still a good chance we may see a discount on the Slim or Pro console at retailers like GameStop or Kohl’s. The likelihood that we’ll see a deal on a refurbished PlayStation 4 console from GameStop is even higher — one such offer is even available right now. Below we’re gathering all the best PS4 Black Friday deals as they go live to make shopping for your next console even easier. Plus, we’ll be includ…

It’s not Black Friday just yet, but that’s not stopping retailers from offering early Black Friday deals as early as mid October. Right now, Best Buy has the Samsung 85-inch Q70T Series 4K Smart Tizen TV on sale at $700 off its regular price, bringing it down to $2,599.99. Considering it normally sells for up to $3,299.99, that’s a pretty steep discount. However, the deal doesn’t end there as Best Buy is also throwing in a free $200 Best Buy gift card with the purchase. That brings the total savings up to $900, though you’ll want to shop soon as this deal is available for just one day only.

The Q70T series is from Samsung’s 2020 QLED lineup. While it is on the lower end of the lineup in terms of features, it’s also on the lower end in terms of cost. If you want that beautiful QLED technology, this is a great way to do it. The Q70T series uses a Quantum Processor with deep-learning AI for all your 4K content, which also helps upscale less-than-4K stuff so you always have the best ima…

We could all use a bit of help around the house, and now that it’s 2020, there are plenty of ways you can cut down on cleaning time and have more time to do the things that matter most. For instance, there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t own a robot vacuum already. You can control them using an app on your phone, or even with your voice, so you can stop vacuuming every other day and find other ways to use your time instead.

Now that Black Friday is upon us, there are tons of opportunities to grab yourself a smart robot vacuum by the end of the year. In fact, you don’t even need to wait until November. Right now, Best Buy has the Samsung POWERbot R7070 Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum on sale for $349.99 today only. This deal saves you 50% off its regular cost of $699.99, and it also marks one of the best prices we’ve ever seen this model reach.

Samsung’s Powerbot R7070 utilizes CycloneForce separation technology to offer 40 times stronger suction than conventional vacuums, meaning…

Black Friday may still be about a month away, but stores are getting started with their Black Friday deals earlier than ever. Best Buy is one retailer that will have Black Friday-worthy deals throughout the month of November and even some in October, like today’s one-day sale on Samsung Galaxy Tablets. Right now, Best Buy has select Samsung tablets on sale starting as low as $109.99. This offer gives you the chance to save up to $200 on the Samsung tablet of your choice, though you’ll want to shop soon as there’s no guarantee that stock will last through the entire day.

There are only a few different models in today’s sale at Best Buy, though with today’s discount, you have the chance of saving up to $200. The models on sale today include the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab E. The affordable Galaxy Tab E is a stellar pick if you’re looking for a gift for the kids or a family member. Today it’s discounted by $90, bringing its price down to …

2020 has brought on one of the greatest shakeups ever to the live music industry. Thousands of shows across the world have been postponed or cancelled, though thanks to modern technology, the show can still go on — online, that is. We’re starting to see a major advance in livestreaming technology as various companies and music labels vie for the attention of millions of listeners stuck at home. FanTracks is one of the first to push livestreamed concerts to the next level, and its concert with the Goo Goo Dolls is just the beginning.

You’ve probably watched at least one performance this year of some musician recorded with their phone. Sometimes the audio is choppy, or the video is poorly lit, or they’re interrupted by their dog… FanTracks is giving artists another option and bringing professional, full live shows to your mobile devices so you can see and hear your favorite musicians in full HD with premium sound production.

FanTracks previously has put on shows by bands 311 and …
