It’s been a good week to use the latest Amazon Echo devices, as many of them have been reduced to a low record. The auction, which started this weekend, continued and prices dropped on the latest Echo, Echo Show 5 and Echo Dot, among others. Apple’s MacBook Pro M1 has dropped to the lowest price to date thanks to coupons that accompany the selling prices, and the Apple Watch SE is still on sale for $ 259. And until Sunday, Best Buy has a temporary sale on a lot of equipment, including the latest Samsung smartphones, Surface tablets and OLED TVs. Here are the best technological deals of this week that you can get today.
Amazon Echo Devices
Nicole Lee / Engadget
Amazon has expanded its Gold Box sale on Echo devices, dropping things like the Echo Show 5 to $ 50 and the Echo Dot with Clock to $ 45. Although most selling prices are not lowest, they are close. We usually like Echo devices for their convenience and Alexa intelligence, so this is a great opportunity to grab one or two if you want to expand Alexa’s presence in your home.
Buy Echo Show 5 on Amazon – $ 50 Buy Echo Dot with Clock on Amazon – $ 45 Buy Echo (4th Generation) on Amazon – $ 80
MacBook Pro M1
Engadget
The latest MacBook Pro with Apple’s M1 chipset is at the lowest price ever, only $ 1,150 for the base model. It comes from the combination of a sale price plus an additional coupon that brings the final price to a record low point. We gave the MacBook Pro M1 a score of 84 for its super fast performance, excellent keyboard and trackpad and long battery life.

Apple Watch SE
Engadget
Apple Watch SE models are at $ 259 on Amazon, which is $ 20 less than their normal price. Although it is not a low of all time, it is still a good price on an already affordable smartwatch. We think the SE is the best choice for first-time Apple Watch owners and those interested in a well-rounded portable, solid workmanship and user-friendly interface.

Sony WH-1000XM4
Billy Steele / Engadget
Our favorite pair of wireless headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM4, is up to $ 278 on the internet. We gave them a score of 94 for their excellent sound quality and noise suppression, connections to multiple devices and their long battery life. You can get the sale price at Amazon, Best Buy and B&H Photo, but Adorama sucks the deal by throwing in a Mophie battery pack at no extra cost.

DJI Osmo-sak
DJI
DJI’s Osmo Pocket gimbal camera dropped to $ 199 this week, which is $ 150 off the original price and $ 50 less than it was recently. This is a handy little camera for budding videographers and those who want a more capable device to record smooth videos on the go. It has 3-axis stabilization, a 1 / 2.3-inch sensor, a 140-minute battery life and support for microSD cards up to 256 GB.

Wilger smart breast pump

The smart breast pump sets from Willow are for sale on the company’s website (with code POMPTOIT) and on Amazon. A standard set of two wireless pumps is up to $ 425, while a kit with extra accessories is up to $ 475. Despite occasional mock Bluetooth connectivity, we love the Willow pumps for their spill-proof design and the option to use either a disposable bag or a reusable collection container.

Galaxy Buds Pro
Billy Steele / Engadget
Woot has the new Galaxy Buds Pro for $ 170, which is $ 30 off their normal price. It took Samsung a few times to get it right, but the benefits are the best earbuds yet. We gave them a score of 85 for their comfortable design, good sound quality and wireless charging capabilities. Be sure to check Woot’s return policy before purchasing.

OnePlus 8T and 8 Pro
Engadget
With the launch of Series 9 devices around the corner, OnePlus has cut its 8T and 8 Pro smartphones to $ 600 and $ 700 respectively. These are both solid Android phones that have quite a few features in common, so if you do not want to pay the highest dollar for the Series 9 devices when it launches, you can pay one of them less.
