Amazon has been in talks with one of the largest mall owners in the country to turn over the abandoned spaces at shopping malls into large fulfillment centers. While we’re still waiting to hear more details about this year’s Prime Day, next year’s event might just be boosted by the space that Sears used to occupy. The Wall Street Journal reported Amazon has been talking with Simon Property Group, Inc. to move into the dozens of stores recently closed by Sears and JCPenney as both companies have filed for bankruptcy and shuttered businesses across the country.

Shopping malls were already in trouble before 2020 thanks to online retail just taking off. With COVID-19 wreaking havoc and keeping people at home, things are only getting worse. Many of these shopping centers have either spent a lot of time just plain empty or have struggled to regain the numbers they had before, which means a lot of bills and unpaid rent that an owner like Simon Property Group becomes responsible for. The de…

The TCL 65-inch 8 Series 4K HDR Roku TV is down to $999.99 at Best Buy. The last time we saw this deal was in early July for Best Buy’s 4th of July sale. After that, the TV bounced back up to $1,800 and has been there ever since. Today is your day if you missed the last sale because this is one of TCL’s best, and this price matches the lowest we’ve seen.

The 75-inch version is also on sale. It’s down to $1,799.99 despite a street price of $3,000. With both versions, Best Buy is the only retailer that carries them so it’s the only place you’re going to find these deals.

This TV’s use of mini LED tech is one of the things that sets it apart. This feature gives you precise control of your TV’s image quality, making brights as bright as ever and creating a beautiful contrast with the darks. You get tons of depth and dimension no matter what you’re watching. The QLED panel also helps deliver a wider range of colors, giving you even more vivid pictures. Since the TV supports multiple HDR…

The Aukey 30W Power Delivery 3.0 USB-C dual-port fast wall charger is down to $14.99 on Amazon when you clip the 25% off on-page coupon. That’s a nice chunk of change considering this charger was going for as much as $22 in June and only recently dropped to $20. And that drop to $20 is the lowest it has ever gone directly. We’ve never seen it go this low with a simple on-page coupon,.

This 2-port charger includes a standard USB-A port and a USB-C port with Power Delivery 3.0. The power output for the USB-C port is 30W but goes down to 18W when both ports are being used to charge something. Still, with USB-C, PD 3.0, and the power output, that’s plenty of juice to charge your devices super fast. The charger works with basically any USB-powered device and is especially good for Apple laptops like the MacBook, Android smartphones, the iPhone, and more. Charge all your devices as fast as you can with this.

You can take this charger with you anywhere. Let it be the new companion to you…

Lenovo’s 10.1-inch smart display is down to $99 at Walmart. This display normally sells for around $150, which is what you’ll find it going for at retailers like B&H and Home Depot. It’s actually going for $180 at Best Buy and has sold as high as $200 in the poast. We have only seen it drop this low once this year and that was through a special deal on the Lenovo website, not through a major retailer like today’s price drop.

The 10.1-inch display is not the Lenovo device on sale right now. You can also get the 8-inch smart display for $79. That’s down from a street price of $130. And then there’s the Lenovo smart clock. This is a much smaller device designed to be mostly a nightstand companion. It does have Google Assistant built in, and it’s on sale for $39.99, which is half off its street price and $10 better than other places like Best Buy that also have it on sale.

Our review gave Lenovo’s Smart Display four out of five stars along with a “The Best” badge and called it “an …

One of Samsung’s newest TVs is on sale today. You can get the Samsung 75-inch 4K TU8000 smart TV on sale for $997.99 at Amazon. That’s an all-new low for a TV that was selling for as much as $1,280 in February and hadn’t dropped below $1,200 until this sale. Today’s price puts it within $300 of the 65-inch version of the TU8000, which is huge considering the jump from 65 to 75 is usually hundreds more. You can find this deal or something close to it at other retailers. For example, the same TV is $999.99 at Best Buy.

If you’re looking for a huge screen with 4K resolutions, you won’t find a better bargain anywhere right now. The TU8000 is perfect when size and resolution are the most important. Not to mention, this is not an older model TV. The TU8000 was released as part of Samsung’s 2020 lineup and has only been around since February. That means whatever tech is in this TV is the latest and greatest from Samsung.

Not only do you get 4K resolutions, but the TU8000 also has an ultra…

Need some more space for your movies and music? Time to stop by Staples and get yourself the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB USB 3.0 hard drive for just $52.49. Use the code 64386 during checkout. It takes $15 off any order over $60, and the Seagate drive is just over $60 at $67.49. The deal works on both Black and Blue but other colors are sold out or much more expensive. This price drop is the second lowest we have seen since last year’s Black Friday sales.

You’ll find the Backup Plus Slim going for $67 at most retailers like B&H, and the next best price anywhere right now is around $65 on Amazon. Get free shipping and enjoy all your new room for storage.

The Seagate Backup Plus Slim is historically one of the best external hard drives around. It has always been a top contender even though it has been around for a while. It’s sleek, lightweight, and has a large capacity for its size. It’s extremely portable and designed to be slipped into any pack on your way out the door. Use i…

The TP-Link Deco M5 whole home mesh networking system comes in a three-pack on sale for $151.99. This is right around the lowest price we’ve seen this year on the whole home Wi-Fi system. The Deco M5 sells for around $170 regularly and you can still find it going for that price at other places like Amazon. The B&H deal is limited to just one set per customer, and the shipping may be delayed by a couple of days. Other than that though, this is a great deal if you’re looking for a way to get Wi-Fi throughout your home.

The Deco M5 replaces your Wi-Fi router and any other devices you’ve been using to make up for dead zones like range extenders. A mesh networking system like this is so much better than a range extender, too, because it offers you a seamless wireless experience. You won’t even notice when your mobile device is switching from one node to the next as you move through your home.

The three pieces of the system can cover up to 5,500 square feet of home and keep up to 100…

Newegg has a full year of PlayStation Plus available for $41.99. Twelve months of PS Plus would normally cost you $60, and it usually doesn’t go on sale directly. You have to find the deals through retailers like Newegg if you find them at all. The sale today is part of Newegg’s Shell Shocker daily deals, so don’t expect it to stick around for very long. Amazon has matched Newegg’s price, too, so you can get it from them. The membership is delivered via a digital code so you won’t have to wait long to start playing online.

The obvious primary benefit of having a PlayStation Plus membership is the ability to play multiplayer titles. You’ll finally be able to battle your way to the top in multiplayer games like Call of Duty Warzone or Fortnite. If fighting against strangers isn’t your idea of a good time, you can always play co-operative titles with your friends. Play through a massive roleplaying game like Divinity: Original Sins II together or build a base in Minecraft. Get indirect…
