This Acer Chromebook just got a $65 price cut for Cyber Monday

Amazon

As part of the Amazon Cyber Monday deals currently out there, you can buy an Acer Chromebook for $65 off the usual price right now at Amazon making it a great budget buy if you simply need a cheap productivity-based laptop.

With a normal list price of $365, this Acer Chromebook 514 is down to just $300, saving you 18% on the usual price which works out at $65 off. That’s a big discount on an already well-priced Chromebook with plenty about it to appeal to those looking for something to use working from home or when studying.

In exchange for your $300, you get a Celeron Dual-Core processor, 4GB of memory, 32GB of eMMC storage, and a 14-inch full HD widescreen LED-backlit touchscreen display. A backlit display is always a great way to get the most out of your images and that’s just the start of the classiness emanating from this well-priced Chromebook.

While some Chromebooks look a little cheap or tacky, this Acer Chromebook looks pretty smart, even compared to the best Chromebooks out there right now. As always, you’re restricted to running Chrome OS but there are plenty of apps to download from the Google Play Store and you can use the Cloud to store all your files. The beauty behind this Acer Chromebook and other Chromebooks is the ability to be so flexible with where your files go, allowing you to focus on work rather than maintaining your system.

With a large trackpad, comfortable keyboard, and a delightfully crisp display, there’s a lot to like here and that goes even more so when you’re saving $65 on the usual price. You need to be fast though. This is an Amazon Lightning deal so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

If you’d prefer the flexibility of a ‘full’ laptop, we have plenty of great Cyber Monday laptop deals for you, focused on the very best offers out there right now.

My WFH foot warmer is just $30 today for Prime members

It's Cyber Monday, which means two things: You can get great deals and winter is coming. As a result, now is a great time to prep your home office for the winter. One touch I have is the Hodeamy Heated Floor Mat. It's usually $39, but if you're an Amazon Prime member (or are on an Amazon Prime membership free trial) you can get it for just $30, saving you $9. Tap the button below to see more about the floor mat yourself, or keep reading to see why I like it so much.

Why you should buy the Hodeamy Heater Floor Mat
Last year, I was suffering from a recurring bout of unreasonably cold feet for reasons I never figured out. Wooly socks were not enough, but the Hodeamy Heated Floor Mat did the trick. It heats up quickly to a level of your choosing and provides warmth across the whole of the pad. It's pretty spacious (the manufacturer says 15.35 inches by 17.72 inches) and I felt the natural resting position of my feet hit within the warmth of the pad with minimal efforts.

Best smart plug Black Friday deals: Get connected from just $10

If you have a lot of devices without smart capabilities, it can be a bit frustrating, especially if you want to turn things on and off by talking to Alexa. Luckily, there's a solution in the form of smart plugs that will let you switch anything connected to them on and off right from your phone. Not only that, but a few of them have additional capabilities, such as checking how much electricity is being used, which is great if you're trying to lower your electric bill by being conscious of your usage. While upgrading your whole home with smart plugs might be expensive, today is the first day of Black Friday, so there are a ton of great Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, and we've collected our favorites below.
Best smart plug Black Friday deal

The TP-Link Tapo Mini is one of the most affordable options for smart plugs in the market, but it doesn't sacrifice features to keep its cost low. Once it's set up, you can create schedules and timers for the electronic devices that are plugged into it, or turn them on or off manually through the Tapo app. You can also use voice commands for these functions, as the smart plug is compatible with smart home platforms such as Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon's Alexa, and Samsung's SmartThings, and the digital assistants that are associated with each of them. You'll get all of these features for a very low price of $10 for Black Friday, following a $10 discount from Best Buy on the TP-Link Tapo Mini's original price of $20.
