Snap Up This Samsung Galaxy S9 Tablet for a Massive $321 Off While You Still Can
Whether it's in addition to or in place of a laptop, today's tablets offer a lot more than a large screen to browse the internet. If you've been considering acquiring a new tablet before prices increase due to tariffs, you'd be smart to consider Amazon's discount of $321 on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Tab. This reduces it to $599. While this is not the lowest price we've seen, it's still a decent savings on a high-quality tablet. You'll need to opt for the graphite model to get the best price. The $599 price is for the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S9 Tab. It features an 11-inch AMOLED screen, so if you're watching movies or TV, you'll have excellent resolution. It also has a high-resolution front camera, perfect for video calls. The S Pen is even included for taking notes and precision pointing. Technical specs include Wi-Fi 7 for fast streaming and downloads, 256GB of storage and the superfast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Other perks include a slim, lightweight design and an Armor Aluminum frame designed to take on whatever life throws at it -- making the tablet a great option for travel. It also has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Prices like this on Amazon can be fleeting, so we don't recommend waiting too long to pick up the Galaxy S9 Tab at this low price. Why this deal matters If you're okay with the graphite model, you can pick up this top-tier tablet for $321 off, an excellent price, especially for 256GB of storage. But as with all things Amazon, there is no telling how long the savings will last.

From selfies to videos, the chances are you use your phone as your primary camera. But what you may not have considered is that your phone's camera can also help save you money around the house. Specifically, a thermal imaging camera, which can help detect areas of your home that have too much or too little heat due to gaps in insulation. Right now, Amazon has the Thermal Master Thermal Camera for Android down to just $199, a nice $50 discount on this surprisingly addictive camera accessory. It can help you on your quest to document Bigfoot, too. Apple users take note, though, this camera is not compatible with iOS systems, so it is only good on Android devices. This thermal imaging camera's P2 can easily detect temperature changes within 0.04 degrees Celsius, making it a great tool for home owners, home inspectors, HVAC technicians, electricians and automotive technicians. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. And it makes a fun accessory for outdoor campers and hikers. Whether you're seeking Bigfoot or you're just a curious cat, the thermal imaging allows you to see what is lurking out there in the woods.

Why this deal matters Not only is this a fun accessory, but it can genuinely save you money by detecting areas of energy inefficiency in your home. Writer James Bricknell used a similar device for this purpose, stating, "Knowing that a lack of insulation is often a reason for high heating and cooling bills, I started a sweep of my home looking for anomalies. Straight away, I found all of my exterior doors had areas where the heat was getting in." Once you identify these anomalies, you can take steps to correct them. At $50 off, down to just $199, it's a great time to buy. It can also make a unique Father's Day gift.

Amazon delivery robots part of plan to automate $200B in logistics costs: analyst
Amazon's experiment with delivery robots might have a science-fiction feel, but the potential cost savings for the e-commerce giant would be anything but fantasy. Morgan Stanley estimated the e-commerce and cloud giant is now investing to automate roughly $200 billion in logistics costs — a sum equal to 35% of its online retail revenue — which includes using AI-powered humanoid robots to make deliveries. The new robots, according to a report in The Information , would go directly to customers' doors from Rivian electric vans, reducing delivery times and labor costs for the billions of packages Amazon ships annually. The company is reportedly testing these AI-powered humanoid robots at a San Francisco "humanoid park" obstacle course. Amazon's reported work on software to use human-like robots in package delivery represents the next chapter in the company's lucrative automation strategy, the analysts said in a note to clients late Thursday. The firm views humanoid delivery robots as a key driver of "more durable market share gains" in Amazon's logistics network, which already holds a 30% share of the U.S. parcel delivery market, surpassing UPS and FedEx . Morgan Stanley projects that 10% of U.S. units that go through robotics-enabled warehouses can lead to $2 billion to $3 billion in annual savings by 2030. While acknowledging the potential for the deployment of humanoids is further out, the analysts highlighted Amazon as "one of the companies best positioned to deliver material financial return from physical AI robots within the next 3-5 years." They also see Amazon's retail business as the "most underappreciated" beneficiary of generative AI in the tech industry, with the potential to deliver "more items to more people faster … and in a more cash flow generative manner" over the next five to 10 years. Shares of the e-commerce giant were up as much as 2% Friday at roughly $212 per share. The stock is down 3.7% year to date. AMZN 1Y mountain Amazon 1-year return Amazon's track record supports this optimism. In 2024, the company lowered its global "cost to serve" per unit for the second consecutive year, building on its success in 2023 when it cut costs by over 45 cents per unit. This continued efficiency drove a 61% year-over-year increase in worldwide operating income, reaching a record $21.2 billion last year. The company was able to achieve this by regionalizing its fulfillment network, which shortened delivery distances and enabled it to deliver over 9 billion items to Prime members globally in 2024 with same-day or next day delivery, a company record. Amazon has also been getting help from robots to stow items in warehouses, a task previously done by humans, and leverages machine learning to optimize inventory placement and demand forecasting. As Amazon continues to innovate, investors like us also see a clear path to enhanced profitability and market dominance in logistics given its unmatched scale and disciplined focus on reducing costs through automation. We currently have a buy-equivalent 1 rating on Amazon and a price target of $240 on the stock. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long AMZN. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
