If you’re in need of a laptop more for work and productivity duties than gaming, the Acer Swift 5 has a lot to offer in a lightweight package. The 14-inch laptop weighs in at just a bit over two pounds, yet it packs adequate power and storage for the price. You can get the Swift 5 from either Amazon or Adorama for $300 off the normal cost, bringing the price down to just $1,000. This is a sizable discount for this well-rounded laptop that came out at the end of 2020. Read our review.
A recent inclusion in our home tech holiday gift guide, the Ember Mug 2 is a smart mug that keeps your beverage hot for up to 80 minutes with its rechargeable battery. You may feel some reservations over having one more smart device to worry about charging, but the Ember can provide endless heat for your drink, so long as it’s resting on its coaster. Best Buy has the larger, 14-ounce version in blue for $100 — a discount of $30. This brings it down to the same price as the smaller, 10-ounce Mug 2.
