One of our favorite gaming monitors just got slashed by $130 at Amazon — get it before it's gone
Right now, Amazon is selling the Alienware AW3423DWF gaming monitor for $649. This is the same price we saw during Prime Day, which saves you $130. Even if this isn't the latest model, it can still deliver an overall excellent gaming experience. Here's why you should seriously consider buying the Alienware AW3423DWF.
As I said in my Alienware AW3423DWF review, this is one of the best gaming monitors for playing the best PC games. It's also perfect for the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X games. You get excellent contrast levels and boosted brightness thanks to the monitor's superb OLED quantum dot panel. The curved 21:9 aspect ratio and sharp 3440 x 1440 resolution help draw you into the games you're playing.
You also get performance to match the picture quality. The fast 165Hz refresh rate and low 0.1ms response time enable games to run smoothly and with no perceptible input lag. The new AW3425DWF has a faster 240Hz refresh rate and a lower 0.03ms response time, but you might not be able to tell the difference (unless you're a professional gamer).
The only drawback with the Alienware AW3423DWF is that it might be too big for some folks' gaming or office setups. Other than that, this is a gaming monitor I can still wholly recommend to just about any gamer looking for an upgrade.

Our favorite smart air purifier is currently 17 percent off
It's always a good time to invest in an air purifier , but in the summer, when seasonal allergies can force sufferers to keep the windows closed, they're especially useful. And right now our favorite overall air purifier can be picked up for 17 percent off when purchased from Amazon. Down to $183 from its usual price of $220 (the same deal that was running during Prime Day ), the Levoit Core 400S Smart Air Purifier reigns supreme in our guide thanks to its easy on-board controls, relatively quiet fan and, crucially, solid performance. This smart air purifier can clean the atmosphere in spaces of up to 1,733 square feet in no more than an hour. It's also fairly cheap and easy to replace the filter if needed. There's an auto mode that ensures the air quality is maintained, but it plays nice with Alexa and Google Assistant too. All that said, don't buy Levoit's air purifier if, for whatever reason, you're fashion-conscious about your household appliances. This barebones white cylinder is as un-fancy as it gets. Amazon is also running a deal on Levoit's Core 300S , which is our top choice for small rooms. It's basically a smaller version of the aforementioned 400S, and has a lot of the same things in its favour. This model is 10 percent off right now, down to $135 from its usual list price of $150. This is the best price we've seen for this model all year. If you only need an air purifier for even smaller rooms (like a bedroom), the Levoit Core 200S is $10 off with Amazon right now. We haven't tested this model, but given the strength of the rest of the range, you can be confident it'll likely be up to the job.

Amazon introduces a more affordable color screen Kindle
Amazon is making its color screen Kindle more affordable. Following the launch of the Kindle Colorsoft last year, the retailer on Thursday introduced a lower-cost version of the normally $279.99 device. The new device offers a $30 discount for 16GB of storage instead of 32GB, bringing the cost down to $249.99. A kids edition is also now available. The original 7-inch Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition was designed to bring a more engaging visual experience to the popular Kindle e-reader, ideal for digitally browsing comics and other graphic novels or highlighting in different colors. The device offered an adjustable, glare-free display with up to eight weeks of battery life, and it even allows users to invert the black text and white background of pages for those who prefer a dark mode-like experience. The new 16GB model also features the high-contrast Colorsoft display of the original, the adjustable warm light, battery life, fast page turns, and more. Plus, it includes three months of Kindle Unlimited, the subscription offering access to over 4 million e-books. However, it won't include the auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, or the larger storage space of the Signature Edition. The Kindle Colorsoft Kids ships with an illustrated cover, a two-year guarantee, and a year of the Amazon Kids+ subscription offering access to books, games, videos, apps, and more. The $269.99 device includes a handful of features to help kids practice reading, too, including a vocabulary builder and a feature called Word Wise that helps them learn new words, as well as the OpenDyslexic font, and Bluetooth connectivity for listening to audiobooks.

Amazon launches a cheaper color Kindle and its first model for kids
TL;DR Amazon has launched a cheaper Kindle Colorsoft 16GB and a new Kindle Colorsoft Kids model. The Kids version includes a year of Amazon Kids Plus, a colorful case, and parental controls. Both devices use the same color screen as last year's model, which we didn't love. Amazon is still betting on color E-Ink, even if it had a somewhat rocky start last year. The company just added two more devices to its Kindle Colorsoft lineup: a cheaper 16GB version and a new Kindle Colorsoft Kids. Both are available starting today. As outlined in Amazon's press release, the 16GB Colorsoft costs $249.99, shaving $30 off the Signature Edition from last year by dropping the wireless charging and cutting the storage in half. Otherwise, it's the same device, complete with the same color screen, adjustable warm light, and ability to highlight text in different colors. The new Kids version is the first color Kindle aimed at younger readers. It's priced at $269.99 and includes a year of Amazon Kids Plus, a colorful protective case, and Amazon's usual suite of parental controls. Amazon says kids who read comics and graphic novels on Kindle spend nearly 50% more time reading than average, so this move makes sense. Both models use the same Colorsoft display that debuted last year. At the time, Amazon's first color Kindle was met with some skepticism from us. We found the display resolution frustrating, which drops to 150ppi in color mode, as well as the lack of any real note-taking features. Some buyers also reported screen tint issues that led to delays and a promised software fix. Amazon hasn't changed the hardware here, but it's clearly hoping these new additions will broaden the appeal, either to those who didn't want to spend $280 for the Signature Edition or to families looking for a kid-friendly option.
