It’s the weekend, which means the time has come for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a nice discount on Google’s Chromecast with Google TV, as the 4K streamer is down to $40 at various retailers. We’ve seen this deal pop up a few times in the past, but it’s still a good $10 below Google’s MSRP. While we have observed the streaming dongle available for $5 less once before, that deal required you to sign up for a month of Sling TV service; the particular current discount matches the best price we’ve seen otherwise.
In any event, all of us continue to recommend the Chromecast in order to those in need of an affordable loading stick. It’s quick enough for most needs, its remote will be sensibly laid out, and it supports all the major apps and HDR standards (plus Dolby Atmos). Most notably, we find Google’s UI to be significantly better at organizing and surfacing content you might actually like than competitors from Amazon and Roku. Some users have complained that the Chromecast’s 8GB of internal storage is insufficient, but that’s unlikely to be a major issue unless you need to download an especially high number of applications. And while reports suggest that Google will launch some sort of Chromecast device later this year, it’s unclear if there’ll be considered a true heir to this streamer or perhaps a brand new lower-end device aimed at 1080 pixels playback. For casual 4K buffering, the Chromecast should still create finding something to watch fast and convenient.
In case you don’t require a new terme conseillé, we’ve also got lower-than-usual costs on Apple’s third-gen AirPods and AirPods Pro , Microprocessors from Intel and AMD—including 1 deal that makes Intel’s expensive i7-12700K chip cheaper than typically the non-overclockable i7-12700 we all reviewed positively final month—Tile Bluetooth trackers, gaming key boards, loads of video games, and a lot more. You can check away our full curated list beneath.
