Amazon's Best-Selling 15-Inch Portable Monitor Is Almost Free, USB-C and HDMI Ports Onboard

Gizmodo21-05-2025

If you've ever found yourself wishing for a second screen while working from a coffee shop, on a plane, or even at the kitchen table, you're not alone. Portable monitors are extremely convenient, even if you're just working from home. More real estate for all the things you need to do on your computer is always a good idea. And if you don't want to be tied to a traditional desk setup, that goes double. There's just one problem, though. Second monitors can be overpriced, or just not that great in general.
The 15.6-inch MNN Portable Monitor is just $61 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $89. That's $30 off and a discount of 31%. That's an absolutely excellent price if you're looking to supplement a monitor you already have, and in fact is less than the price than a fancy dinner out.

Your new display screen companion
Plus, this monitor checks all the right boxes: it's lightweight, slim, easy to carry, and has full HD visuals perfect for when you're crunching spreadsheets or watching Netflix. Nearly 16 inches makes it the perfect size to act as a secondary screen next to your laptop without feeling too small or cramped. And because it uses an IPS panel, you'll get solid color accuracy and wide viewing angles without the potential for color weirdness.
You can just plug this monitor in and go, without a lengthy setup procedure. It includes two USB-C ports and a Mini HDMI port, so whether you're connecting to a MacBook, Windows laptop, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, or even your phone, it's basically ready to go out of the box.
It also comes with a smart cover that doubles as a stand, so you don't need to bring a separate stand or prop it up awkwardly. The cover folds into position to give you multiple viewing angles depending on how and where you're using it. And while it doesn't have built-in speakers or touch features, it's a solid screen. And that's probably what you're looking for, anyway.
You aren't beating this monitor's price for just $61. It's an invaluable addition to a portable work station and an even better way to spruce up your desktop area at home. But if you're planning on buying it, be sure to do so quickly. There's no way they won't sell out at this price.

7 Reasons to Buy Amazon Stock Like There's No Tomorrow

Amazon has multiple growth opportunities, including AI, e-commerce, and healthcare. The company's financial strength, culture of innovation, and resilience should help it succeed. Amazon stock is also attractively valued compared to its historical levels. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Any negative Nellie can find things to dislike about Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The stock remains down by a double-digit percentage below its previous high. The company could face a bumpy road if the Trump administration's steep tariffs remain in place. The Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorneys general are going after Amazon in court for alleged monopolistic practices. However, I think Amazon's positive Pollys have a stronger case than the negative Nellies. The e-commerce and cloud services giant's overall future remains bright, in my view. Here are seven reasons to buy Amazon stock like there's no tomorrow. While artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted the world tremendously already, the technology is still only in its early innings. This bodes well for Amazon. Why? It's the world's largest cloud services provider, and AI will run primarily in the cloud. I think Amazon is well-positioned to be a big winner as agentic AI hits its stride. The company should also profit hugely if and when artificial general intelligence (AGI) is ready, especially if Anthropic (an AI pioneer in which Amazon has invested heavily) emerges as an AGI leader. Amazon generates most of its revenue from e-commerce. Although e-commerce isn't as big a growth driver for the company as its cloud business, it still has massive growth potential. How much could Amazon's e-commerce business grow? CEO Andy Jassy noted in the company's October 2024 quarterly update that Amazon's share of the global retail market is only around 1%. Between 80% and 85% of that retail market is still in brick-and-mortar stores, with e-commerce making up the rest. Jassy predicted that this "equation is going to flip in the next 10 to 20 years." If he's right, Amazon should be one of the biggest beneficiaries. AI and e-commerce aren't Amazon's only growth opportunities. The company has multiple "other bets" (to borrow a phrase from another giant AI leader) that could drive long-term growth. Healthcare ranks as one of Amazon's most important areas for growth, thanks to its expansion into the online pharmacy and healthcare provider markets. The company's Project Kuiper satellite network could begin providing internet service later this year. I think Zoox, Amazon's autonomous ride-hailing business, could also move the needle over the long term. It takes money to make money. And Amazon has a lot of money. The company's cash stockpile tops $94 billion. Amazon's revenue continues to grow. Its profits are growing even more quickly, soaring 64% year over year in the latest quarter. Amazon is well-positioned to invest in future growth. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos instilled a start-up mindset among employees that remains in place today, even though the company is now valued at around $2.2 trillion. He referred to this as a "Day One" culture. Amazon continues to look for new ways to innovate and new opportunities to grow. Jassy expanded on this "Day One" perspective in his latest letter to shareholders. He wrote that Amazon also has a "why culture." Jassy explained that the company's employees "have to constantly question everything around us." He said that asking "why" has led to the major innovations that have led to Amazon's growth, from shifting from selling only books to selling all types of products to launching Amazon Web Services. I think Amazon's culture of innovation, based upon thinking like a start-up and continually asking why, will lead to more game-changing products and services in the future. At least at first glance, Amazon stock doesn't look like much of a bargain. The company's shares trade at nearly 34 times trailing 12-month earnings and more than 32 times forward earnings. However, Amazon's valuation looks attractive compared to its historical levels. The stock is cheaper now than it's been since early 2009, when the U.S. economy began recovering from the Great Recession. Probably the best reason to buy Amazon stock like there's no tomorrow is that there is a tomorrow. Any challenges that the company faces from tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty will be only temporary. Amazon has proven to be remarkably resilient in the past. It will almost certainly continue to be resilient in the future. If you're a positive Polly about Amazon, I suspect you'll make plenty of money over the long term. 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.

The best last-minute deals you can grab before Father's Day

Father's Day is on Sunday, June 15th, and if you're after a last-minute gift that won't blow your budget, we've got you covered. Several retailers are currently offering fantastic Father's Day discounts on an array of gadgets we can personally vouch for at The Verge, from the Roomba Combo 10 Max to budget-friendly options like Amazon's latest Echo Show 5. Many of these products, including the noise-canceling AirPods Pro and Sonos' Move 2 speaker, are also down to their lowest price to date, making it a great time to pull the trigger. Below, we've rounded up the best deals across several categories, including home entertainment, wearables, mobile, and more. Whether you're hunting for the perfect gift for dad or treating yourself (hey, no judgment here), our roundup has something for everyone. Headphones and earbuds Amazon and Best Buy are selling the latest AirPods for around $99 ($31 off), which matches their best price to date. Apple's entry-level earbuds improve on previous models with better sound, delivering a thicker layer of bass than earlier models even with their open-style design. They also boast the Voice Isolation feature found in the latest AirPods Pro, which produces significantly clearer call quality. Read our review. You can also pick up the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for around $148.99 ($21 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is about $10 shy of their all-time low. While their noise cancellation doesn't quite match the AirPods Pro, they still deliver impressive performance for the price. They also offer a natural-sounding transparency mode for when you want to let outside noise in, along with wireless charging. The included charging case has been updated with a built-in speaker, too, one that can emit a sound when you're trying to find it via Apple's Find My app. Read our review. Bose's QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are available starting at $399.99 ($30 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. The over-ears drown out noise well and deliver excellent sound, which is just one of the reasons they're amongst our favorite pair of noise-canceling headphones. They're also comfortable and fold down for easy storage, making them particularly great for frequent travelers. Read our review. Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store for $189 ($40 off), which is $10 shy of their all-time low. The wireless earbuds are our top picks for Pixel device owners, building upon the original model with a lighter design, improved ANC, and an extended 12 hours of battery life with noise cancellation turned off. They also offer support for several Pixel-exclusive features — including head tracking spatial audio — and let you directly access Google's Gemini AI assistant. Read our review. If you prefer a smaller smart speaker, you can pick up the Sonos Era 100 from Amazon, Sonos, and Best Buy for $179 ($20 off), which matches its best price to date. Although it's not portable like the Move 2, it's small enough to fit most places and still delivers rich, full-bodied sound. The Wi-Fi / Bluetooth speaker also supports Sonos' Trueplay tuning and USB-C line-in, so you can connect wired devices using an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. Read our review. Right now, the Sonos Era 300 is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos' online storefront for $359 ($90 off), which is an all-time low. The hourglass-shaped speaker produces a more robust sound than the aforementioned Era 100, with support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. It also offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with support for USB-C line-in. Read our review. JBL Go 4 $5020% off $40 JBL's pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker features up to seven hours of runtime, dual device connectivity, and an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. You can also pair it with other Go 4 speakers for bigger stereo sound, if desired. The Sonos Roam 2 is available for an all-time low of $134 ($45 off) from Amazon, Sonos, and Best Buy. The second-gen smart speaker is waterproof, just like the original Roam, making it a great portable speaker for outdoor adventures. Unlike the original, however, the latest model offers a dedicated button for Bluetooth pairing and a more straightforward setup out of the box. Read our hands-on impressions. You can buy the JBL Clip 5 at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from JBL for around $49.95 ($30 off), which nearly matches its best price to date. The tiny Bluetooth speaker boasts an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, along with an integrated carabiner, allowing you to easily clip it onto your backpack, handlebars, and other belongings. Despite its diminutive size, the speaker offers good audio and even stereo sound when paired with compatible JBL speakers. Home entertainment deals The Sonos Arc Ultra is on sale for $899 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos' online storefront. The company's latest flagship soundbar builds upon the previous Arc, offering more powerful bass, clearer dialogue, and an even more immersive audio experience. It also adds Bluetooth support alongside Wi-Fi 6, enabling faster and more reliable connections, as well as easier pairing. Read our review. Amazon's latest Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is $7 shy of its lowest price to date and the best price we've seen this year. Not only does the 4K-capable streaming device support Dolby Atmos and integrate well with Alexa, but it's also faster than its predecessor, offers twice the amount of storage, and even displays widgets when idle. Panasonic 65-inch Z85 OLED TV with Fire TV $180045% off $998 The Z85 ships with plenty of bells and whistles that most people are looking for in a premium television (especially gamers). This includes variable refresh rate tech, plus adaptive sync via AMD's FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync. Smart home deals Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro $25028% off $180 The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro delivers high-quality video with adjustable, accurate radar-powered motion detection, 2,000 lumens of light, and a good digital zoom. It offers smart alerts for people or motion and works with Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and Ring's excellent app. You can grab Amazon's Smart Air Quality Monitor for $54.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. The inexpensive device sends alerts when it detects a drop in air quality and allows you to automate actions via Alexa Routines in response. This means you can use it to turn on or adjust a range of Alexa-enabled devices, from air purifiers to smart thermostats. Read our original review. You can buy two battery-powered Ring Outdoor Cam Plus security cameras for $139.98 ($40 off) at Amazon, which marks a new low price. Amazon is also selling a three-pack for $209.97 ($50 off) and four for $279.96 ($60 off). The weather-resistant security camera supports 2K video and comes with a mount, in addition to motion detection, two-way talk capabilities, and Amazon Alexa support. Echo Show 5 (third-gen) $9028% off $65 The newest Echo Show 5 is just as small as its predecessor but features updated mics and a speaker system that delivers double the bass and clearer sound quality. $65 at Amazon $65 at Best Buy $65 at Target The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) is on sale for $129.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy.

It's also iRobot's first robot to support Matter. Smartwatch and fitness tracker deals The latest Apple Watch SE is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart in its 41mm / GPS configuration starting at $169 ($80 off), which is $20 shy of its all-time low. The second-gen SE tracks essential metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep quality while offering extra conveniences, including fall / crash detection and Apple Pay. It also delivers relatively snappy performance thanks to Apple's S8 chip, making it a solid entry-level option even if it lacks the Series 10's larger display and advanced health sensors. Read our review. Google, Amazon, and Best Buy are all selling the Fitbit Charge 6 for $119.99 ($40 off). The solid fitness tracker enables you to track a variety of metrics, including stress, blood oxygen levels, and a range of fitness activities. However, the latest model also supports Google Wallet and turn-by-turn navigation via Google Maps, along with the ability to pair with certain gym equipment over Bluetooth. Read our review. Garmin, Amazon, and Best Buy are selling its 41mm Venu 3S, our favorite Garmin smartwatch, for an all-time low of $349.99 ($100 off). It combines smart features like contactless payments with a welcome array of health features, including abnormal heart rate alerts and fall detection. Garmin has also added a mic and speaker, allowing you to take calls; however, you will still need your smartphone, as the 3S lacks built-in cellular connectivity. Read our review. Tablet and e-reader deals The latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale starting at just $139.99 ($40 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches the e-reader's best price to date. The ad-free e-reader is identical to the standard Kindle Paperwhite, offering the same IPX8 water resistance and seven-inch 300ppi display but with optional parental controls. It also comes with a two-year hardware protection plan, a case, and six months of Amazon Kids Plus, making it a better value than the standard Paperwhite in some ways. You can buy the Google Pixel Tablet from Amazon, Best Buy, and Google starting at $299 ($100 off), which is just $20 shy of its all-time low. The 11-inch tablet offers good value for the money, with a crisp LCD display and a four-speaker sound array. It also runs on the same Tensor G2 chip found in Google's Pixel 7 lineup, meaning it's more than fast enough for streaming, browsing the web, and carrying out other typical tablet tasks. It also works great as an ad hoc smart display if you purchase it with the optional speaker dock, which is available for $399 ($100 off) at Amazon. Read our review. Now through June 15th, MasterClass is offering up to 50 percent off its annual subscription, which normally starts at $6 a month. The platform grants access to thousands of high-quality classes taught by world leaders and other subject matter experts across a wide range of topics, from cooking and writing to business and technology. Otterbox is taking up to 25 percent off its accessories sitewide through June 14th, which includes cases from its Defender Series collection.

The Defender Series cases are known for having passed military-grade drop tests and are made with a polycarbonate shell and a synthetic rubber slipcover, which protects them against drops and scratches.

It seems like the cost of everything is going up these days, especially with the recent tariffs taking effect. But T-Mobile is helping you keep your phone bill at the same price. Just like all monthly expenses, your phone plan can start to add up. However, when you opt to join a T-Mobile Experience plan, you can guarantee that your rate will be locked in for five years. You won't have to worry about a price hike until 2030. Keep in mind, this offer is not valid on a T-Mobile Essentials plan. You can choose between the Experience More or Beyond plans to get a locked in rate for five years. Both plans have unlimited talk, text and data, and full in-flight texting and Wi-Fi. The plans also come with Netflix. Experience More includes 60GB of hotspot and 5GB of data in over 215 countries. Experience Beyond offers unlimited hotspot, 15GB of data in over 215 countries and access to Apple TV and Hulu. And if you want to add a watch or tablet to your Beyond plan, you can do so for just $5 more per month. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Both plans also include a third line for free. The Experience More plan is $140 per month for three lines when you use autopay. The Experience Beyond plan is $170 per month when you use autopay. These prices do not include taxes and fees. You're saving up to $60 when getting a third line for free. If you're over the age of 55, a first responder or a veteran, you can get an additional discount. You'll also get to take advantage of T-Mobile perks every Tuesday, from discounted movie tickets to freebies. Why this deal matters The T-Mobile five-year price guarantee is a great way to ensure that your phone bill won't go up for a long time, until 2030 to be exact if you sign up soon. With so many items are increasing in price, like everyday essentials, it's nice to have one thing that you know will remain consistent, especially when it's something most of us can't go without.
