We have a million different options to charge our phones and tablets on the go, but laptops are generally out of luck unless you can find an AC outlet. This
Lenmar ChugPlug solves this age-old problem by plugging directly into the power brick of your MacBook Air or 13″ MacBook Pro, providing up to four extra hours of battery life. Pure genius. [Lenmar – ChugPlug External Battery Pack for Select Apple MacBook Models, $80]

Speaking of MacBooks, the 13″ Retina MacBook Pro with 512GB SSD is $200 off right now.

Apple’s new
iPad Air 2 is pretty incredible, but also really expensive. Luckily, Best Buy is taking $50-$100 off select models. [Save $50-$100 on iPad Air 2 Models]

The new
GoPro Hero4 Silver is the only GoPro with a built-in touchscreen, and you can score a bonus $50 Best Buy gift card if you purchase it today. [GoPro Hero4 Silver + $50 Best Buy Gift Card, $400]

2015 may end up being the year of the Chromebook, especially if more of them come with specs like this Acer C720.

$320 gets you an Intel Core i3 processor with Intel HD 4400 graphics, 4GB of RAM, and a 32GB (replaceable) SSD. That’s not very impressive by traditional notebook standards, but for a Chromebook, it’s basically a supercomputer.

You might not think you need all that power for a computer that’s basically just running a web browser, but a lot of web apps are more processor-intensive than you’d expect, and Google is even starting to port over some native Android apps as well. [Acer C720 with Core i3, $320]

This popular
Philips Norelco Sensotouch shaver is at its lowest ever advertised Amazon price of $90 right now, but you can shave an extra $20 off by clipping the coupon. [Philips Norelco 1150BT/48 Sensotouch 2D Electric Razor with Click-On Beard Styler, $70 after $20 coupon]


Come on, you know you want one of these. [
KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer, $190]

Netflix’s
award-winning House of Cards is adapted from a British series, which was itself adapted from a book trilogy. That trilogy is only $5 on Kindle today. If you hurry, you’ll be able to finish before season 3 premieres. [The House of Cards Complete Trilogy [Kindle], $5. Also available on Nook]


Here’s a pretty fantastic bundle for PS4 owners. [Sony DualShock 4, Infamous Second Son, Dual Controller Charging Station, $70]

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-dualshock-4-wireless-controller-for-ps4-with-infamous-second-son-black/9886168.p


Update: The Anker deal expired, but iClever and Intocircuit are actually promoting a handful of very similar bundles today, at even lower prices. Check them out:

Buy an iClever Portable Bluetooth Speaker, get an Intocircuit Power Mini 3000mAh Charger FREE ($30) | Amazon | Add both to cart and use code LOVEIT01

Buy an iClever 50W/6-Port Desktop USB Charging Station, get an Intocircuit Power Mini 3000mAh Charger FREE ($26) | Amazon | Add both to cart and use code LOVEIT02

The world is overflowing with USB hubs and USB ethernet adapters, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one that did
both in such a compact package.

If you own a MacBook or a similar ultrathin laptop without an ethernet port, this looks like a must-own accessory, especially if you travel frequently. We posted this on Kinja Deals late in the day yesterday, but it received a few glowing comments, so we thought it deserved another mention this morning. [UNITEK USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter Hub, $21 with code XMTONVJQ]


Popular LEGO sets rarely go on sale, and Minecraft LEGO sets basically never drop more than $1-$2. Today though, you can score an $8 discount from Amazon. [LEGO Minecraft 21116 Crafting Box, $42]


Pixar’s famed short films are often better than their feature-length counterparts, and you can own 12 of them on Blu-ray today for just $14. [Pixar Short Films Collection 2, $14]

Note: Amazon is backordered, but you can still lock in your price.


If you ever use the terrible earbuds that shipped with your smartphone, stop what you’re doing and replace them with
this pair of Sennheisers, marked down to just $25 for the iPhone version, or $20 for Android.

At $20-$25, you shouldn’t expect
amazing sound quality from these headphones, but they’ll be huge upgrades over the ones that came with your phone. Like your bundled earbuds, you’ll still have a built-in mic and playback controls (just be sure to pick the correct version for your OS), but the big advantage here is noise isolation. Since these come with three different sized tips, you’ll actually be able to block out noise without cranking up your volume to drown it out.[Sennheiser MM30 Headphones, $20-$25]

Note: Amazon lists the Android version of these headphones as “for Samsung Galaxy,” but the buttons and mic should work fine on most Android phones. Check out this compatibility list for more details.


This stainless steel insulated Thermos bottle will keep your drinks cold for up to 12 hours. Plus, it just looks really nice. It’s never been cheaper on Amazon. [Thermos Vacuum Insulated 24-Ounce Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle, $18]


Buy this Wirecutter-recommended Bluetooth handsfree kit for your car, and get a free dash mount for your smartphone.

iClever Himbox HB01 Bluetooth 4.0 Hands-Free Car Kit+ FREE iClever 360 Degree Universal Smartphone Car Mount ($30) | Amazon | Add both to cart and use code


Touch up your scalp, or even give yourself a full haircut for just $25. Great reviews across the board. [ Philips Norelco HC7452/41 7100 Hair Clipper, $25 after $5 Off Digital Coupon]


We’ve all heard that watching TV in the dark can be pretty tough on the eyes, but an ambient bias lighting setup can make the experience much more palatable. This
basic USB-powered kit from Antec is only $16 today, and takes just a few seconds to install.

Update: Amazon is backordered, but you can still lock in your price and wait for t hem to get more.

For this price, the light won’t change color based on what’s on-screen, but its pale white glow will still reduce eye strain at night, and can even improve your TV’s perceived contrast ratio. If it sounds like voodoo, consider that the kit has a 4.2 star review average from nearly 200 customers, and at this price, it’s not like you have much to lose. [Antec Bias Light, $16]
