Our favorite soundbar to pair with your TV, the Sonos Beam Gen 2, is back on sale for just $399 — that's $100 or 20% in savings. The second-generation soundbar improves on all of the things we already loved about the first-generation Beam, which Mashable tech reporter Raymond Wong said "hits the sweet spot on price, design, sound quality, and features." The upgraded model features a new grill, a better processor, and Dolby Atmos compatibility to its already immersive sound, convenient voice assistant support, and spectacular clarity.

Mashable's shopping and reviews editor Miller Kern took the Sony ULT Field 1 for a spin and found its sound quality, customizable EQs, and bass-pumping ULT setting to be particularly impressive selling points. While the battery life could be a little bit better, ultimately, she gave the Bluetooth speaker a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars. It's usually $129.99, but as of Jan. 31, it's on sale at Amazon for just under $100. That's 25% in savings.

Want to shine a brighter light on what's happening around your home when you're away or asleep? The Google Nest Floodlight Cam is a solid option (particularly for dedicated Google users) and is on sale for $50 off as of Jan. 31. It packs all of the same features as the Google Nest Cam, but adds super bright LED floodlights and 180-degree motion detection that can identify who or what is outside your home. Its built-in intelligence feature sends you alerts through the Google Home app to let you know if there's a person, animal, or vehicle approaching — no subscription required.

Get Deal
As our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) noted in their review, "If you still have a 1080p TV, the Roku Express is one of the most economical ways to breathe new life into it with streaming apps and services." The HD streamer plugs into your TV for easy setup and gives you access to hundreds of free channels on the Roku platform, as well as all of your favorite streaming apps. If you have a 4K TV, you'll probably want to grab the Roku Express 4K+ instead, but for non-4K TV owners looking for a budget option, this is your best bet. Snag it on sale for only $17.99 — that's 40% in savings and less than a dollar away from its best price ever.

$199.00 at Amazon $249.00 Save $50.00
Get Deal
If you're looking for a smart speaker to fill up your home with high-quality sound, the Sonos Era 100 is a great pick. It replaced the Sonos One (which we loved) in 2023 and brought a few major upgrades, including refreshed controls on top with a capacitive volume control and voice assistant control. It also has a taller build and added two tweeters to produce stereo sound on its own. It's regularly $249, but you can save 20% as of Jan. 31 and get it for $199.

See at Amazon MacBooks are some of the best laptops you can get if you're a student or a creative professional. To be fair, they're also good enough that even if you're not those things, you'll still be able to enjoy a huge boost to your productivity and efficiency with one of these at your fingertips. You can also just use the really nice screen to watch KPop Demon Hunters if you want, and we won't judge you. You're golden, after all. Let's kick off with the screen. This portable laptop has a 13-inch Liquid Retina Display screen, which basically means it'll be absurdly fluid with beautiful colors and crystal clarity. It's built to be used for things like image editing, which means that even your spreadsheets will be getting a bit of a facelift. Between the M4 chip and the 16GB of RAM, this thing has impressive processing speed as well. It means that the programs you run will rarely stutter, but it also means it can handle some pretty heavy-lifting, and even deal with multitasking quite comfortably as well. It has a 256GB SSD as well, which is great for storing projects you're working on, and it has a 12MP camera in case you're looking to make some video calls to friends, family, or your Dungeons & Dragons group. This MacBook Air is absolutely worth the standard price of $999, and you'd be getting a lot of value at that price. However, you don't have to pay that much for it right now. So, don't miss out on this chance to get this while it's just $799 instead, because it won't last forever. See at Amazon

How to Bring More Rigor to Your Long-Term Thinking
Amid great economic, political, and technological change, it can feel impossible to predict what might happen next. Nick Foster, a futurist and designer who has worked at Google X, Sony, and elsewhere, says that most of us struggle because we tend to fall into one pattern of thinking about the future. A better approach — for leaders, teams, and entire organizations — is to consider the long-term view through multiple lenses, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each. He explains how more deep and rigorous thinking and discussion on these issues can yield better outcomes for businesses of all kinds. Foster is the author of the book Could, Should, Might, Don't: How We Think About the Future.
