Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
$179 at Amazon $229 Save $50
Get Deal
Released last summer, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 embrace AI (for better or worse) to drastically improve noise cancellation features, enhance phone calls, and automatically detect IRL conversations so you don't have to remove them to talk to someone. Though we haven't had a chance to test them ourselves, our sister site PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them 4 out of 5 stars and called them "great for Pixel users and good for everyone else." Compared to their predecessors, they offer better battery life, a more comfortable fit, and a lighter, smaller, and more secure design. Usually $229, they're on sale for only $179 at Amazon as of March 17. That's 22% in savings and their lowest price in three months.

Tile Essentials 4-pack
$52.99 at Amazon $74.99 Save $22.00
Get Deal
If you tend to misplace important items, Bluetooth trackers are a must-have. One of our favorites, the Tile Mate is a reliable way to keep track of your keys, wallet, luggage, and more via GPS (with both iOS and Android compatibility). And when you opt into a paid Tile Premium subscription, you'll even get notifications when you leave stuff behind and qualify for reimbursement for items you aren't able to recover. Usually, a single Tile Mate tracker is $24.99, so this four-pack deal — which includes two Tile Mates, a Tile Slim, and a Tile Sticker — is a steal at just $52.99 (reg. $74.99). You're essentially getting both the Tile Slim and Tile Sticker for free.

Garmin Instinct Solar
$199.99 at Amazon $349.99 Save $150
Get Deal
The Garmin Instinct smartwatch is not your average fitness tracker. It goes above and beyond when it comes to sports tracking, navigation, and health monitoring. "The Instinct is ideal for serious navigators, ultra-athletes, and solo trekkers who spend a lot of time outside and in rugged conditions," Mashable's reviewer writes. It features four different profiles just for running (classic, indoor track, trail, and treadmill), a three-axis compass and barometric altimeter for intricate tracking and navigation, and an unlimited battery life thanks to solar charging. It's regularly $349.99, but as of March 17, it's down to just $199.99 at Amazon. That's 43% in savings and just $10 away from its lowest price ever.

2 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever
Amazon's constant innovation is a hallmark of a business that will still be around in 50 years. Netflix is a highly profitable entertainment business that is still finding new avenues of growth. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Buying growth stocks that you intend to hold forever is a smart strategy. It forces you to think about companies that will still be around in 50 years. This raises the odds that the stock will keep compounding in value over your lifetime, which is the lazy way to get rich without doing much work. If this sounds like a good plan, here are two stocks to consider buying. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has profitable revenue streams coming from e-commerce, cloud computing, retail advertising, and third-party fulfillment services. It generated $21 billion in free cash flow on $650 billion of revenue over the last year. The foundation of Amazon's business is its online store, making up 37% of first-quarter revenue. Its wide selection, delivery infrastructure, and large customer base with more than 200 million Prime members give Amazon a strong competitive advantage. Amazon's investments in robotics to automate inventory management and order processing are strengthening its competitive advantage in a $4 trillion global e-commerce market. Amazon continues to push the limits of delivery speeds. In Q1, it set a new record for items delivered the same or next day. It's probably not by accident that this accomplishment follows the unveiling of its next-generation fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2024. This facility is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and uses 10 times more robotics than the company's other facilities. Amazon said its new fulfillment center will set a new standard for the retail industry. This is an incredibly innovative company that has progressed from selling out of a garage 30 years ago to using AI to deliver millions of items at blazing speed. That's the kind of business you want to invest in. Amazon's investments in AI bolster its long-term prospects. Analysts currently expect the company's earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 17% in the coming years, which reflects expectations for improving margins in its retail business, in addition to strong growth from other high-margin services like cloud computing and advertising. Amazon has a lot of levers it can pull to create shareholder returns. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) stock continues to hit new highs. It has evolved from a DVD-by-mail rental service 20 years ago to a dominant streaming service. Over the last year, the company generated $7 billion in free cash flow on $40 billion of revenue, and it keeps growing. Its growing cash flow paves the way for increasing content spend to keep winning more subscribers. People have varying entertainment preferences, and Netflix can afford to make a wide variety of content that pleases everyone. It spent $17 billion in content production last year and still reported a stellar 22% profit margin. Netflix still has a huge opportunity internationally. Its growing budget will allow it to invest in widening its content offering to appeal to different cultures. Netflix started investing in local infrastructure to support its growth plans a decade ago and is now producing content in more than 50 countries. What's more, Netflix is testing new content formats to widen the viewership. Its livestream of the Taylor-Serrano fight in November was the most-watched professional women's sports event in U.S. history. With more than 700 million people watching content on its platform, Netflix could also see advertising revenue soar in the coming years. Ad-supported subscriber plans come at a lower price point, helping the company expand its audience reach and boost margins at the same time. Analysts expect its earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 22% over the next several years. Netflix's strong brand and high-margin business have the makings of a stock that is going to reward shareholders for many years. Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.

Amazon to invest $10B in North Carolina for AI data centers
Amazon is investing $10 billion to create data centers in North Carolina aimed at expanding its artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology capabilities. The move, announced Wednesday, is its latest attempt to compete with rivals Google and Microsoft in the artificial intelligence space. It will also significantly boost its presence in the state, creating at least 500 new high-skilled jobs that range from data center engineers and network specialists, to engineering operations managers and security specialists. "This investment supports the [Trump] Administration's vision to strengthen American infrastructure and further safeguard our nation's data," said Shannon Kellogg, Amazon's vice president of public policy. "By creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs and partnering with local communities, Amazon is helping to drive economic growth and advance U.S. leadership in AI." Amazon Introduces Beta Ai Shopping Tool, 'Interests' The investment will also support thousands of other jobs in the Amazon Web Services data center supply chain, the company said. "Generative AI is driving increased demand for advanced cloud infrastructure and compute power, and our investment will support the future of AI from AWS data centers in the Tar Heel State," Amazon said Wednesday in a blog post. "This deployment of cutting-edge cloud computing infrastructure will strengthen North Carolina's position as an innovation hub." Read On The Fox Business App Amazon has been racing to invest in its artificial intelligence infrastructure. In January, Amazon Web Services announced plans to invest an estimated $11 billion to expand its infrastructure in Georgia. Big tech companies have invested tens of billions of dollars in AI. Amazon Rolling Out Ai-drive Alexa+ Service In a 2024 annual letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said "generative AI is going to reinvent virtually every customer experience we know, and enable altogether new ones about which we've only fantasized." Leveraging this technology is one way to stay competitive, according to Jassy. "If your customer experiences aren't planning to leverage these intelligent models, their ability to query giant corpuses of data and quickly find your needle in the haystack, their ability to keep getting smarter with more feedback and data, and their future agentic capabilities, you will not be competitive," he wrote.

This AI tool is like Perplexity, NotebookLM, and ChatGPT put together — here's why you need it
I don't know if you've noticed, but there are a lot of AI tools out there. An overwhelming number, some might say. So choosing the right option for you can be surprisingly challenging. Of course, there are the obvious options like ChatGPT, Gemini, or one of the other major AI brands, powered by billions in funding and massive supercomputers. However, that doesn't mean they are always the best option for what you need. For example, for students looking to get an edge on a research project, there are lots of other great options out there. After spending some time testing it, one of my new top picks is Logically. Logically, formerly known as Afforai, is an AI workspace. It can be used for both research and writing. In the Logically app or desktop system, you can have everything you need in one place. Start a new document, and you can set headings, write text, add bullet points, tables, images, code, and pretty much anything you would need to write a book, article, research paper, or essay. This alone is seen in countless places like Notion, Word or pretty much any other AI-powered writing software. Logically stands out by combining its writing technology with AI research tools in a few ways: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Chatbot functionality Much like NotebookLM, you can add research documents, papers, or links for the tool to comb through. Alternatively, through the built-in chatbot, you can ask questions using AI models like Gemini, GPT-4o, or Claude 3.5. This is paired with Google search functions to work in the same way as you might use ChatGPT or Gemini to research a project. Research like a scholar Equally, you can use a feature called Semantic Scholar. Instead of searching the web and the training data of whichever AI model you're using, it will comb through a database of 200 million peer-review research papers. In this mode, it will not only offer the research papers that best answer your question, but it will also offer the reference, the best quote from the paper and allow you to save your reference straight into a bibliography if needed. Document retrival Finally, if you have an exact list of research documents you want to use, a third tool will change the chatbot to only answer questions from your list of research sources. This will also provide citations and references for any information it provides you. Referencing is, quite frankly, a nightmare. Trying to remember where you found a quote, figure or concept can take forever if you don't note it down. Even if you do, there is then the formatting to make it correct for the document. Part of the benefit of Logically is that it does it all for you. Upload documents and links to your project and it will keep them all in one place. By doing this, you can search these documents using the in-built chatbot or just use them for referencing down the line. You can also add tags to different sources, keeping them all organised in different categories. With all of the incredible things AI can do right now, this is hardly ground-breaking. In a lot of ways, this is a tool that is simply taking the best of other AI systems and using them all in one place. But, that is what works so well. Why split your time between ChatGPT, NotebookLM and Perplexity, when you can have them all in one place. On top of all those research tools, youa also have your actual project in the same place too. For the occasional quick project, this isn't all that useful. But if you're in school, working towards a PhD or in a research role that requires you to be constantly deep into a project, Logically feels like it has nailed the formula.
