I’m a Deals Writer, and These Are the Top 10 Tech Deals This Week

As Lifehacker's tech deals writer, I'm always looking for the best bargains on TVs, speakers, laptops, and other tech. Now that it's Friday, I've gathered together this week's sales highlights , all of which I've vetted using my favorite price-tracking tools to make sure they are actually good deals. This week, you can find great sales on the Meta Quest 3S, AirPods, MacBooks, Kindle Scribe, and more. The Kindle Scribe is $140 off Though the Kindle Scribe has just been overhauled for 2025 , last year's model remains an attractive digital notebook. Released in December of last year, the 2024 Kindle Scribe is an upgraded version of the oversized e-reader designed for note-taking, offering some nice improvements over the 2022 original. Those upgrades don't come cheap, however, with prices on the 2024 Kindle Scribe starting at $399.99 (still a lot less than the new-for-2025 version, which starts at $499.99). Right now, the 32GB version of the 2024 Scribe is a lot cheaper: It's discounted to $279.99 (originally $419.99), the lowest price this reader has seen since its release. The Sonos Era 100 The Sonos Era 100 is an improved version of the Sonos One, with much more powerful bass and other upgrades that make it one of the best multi-room smart speakers you can buy. It's currently at its lowest price ever- $169 (originally $249 at launch). Most of the other Sonos speakers are also seeing their lowest prices right now. Meta has made virtual reality accessible to many more people, offering good VR headsets for much cheaper than the competition . Right now, the 128GB Meta Quest 3S Gorilla Tag Bundle is on sale for $249.99 (originally $299.99) and comes with a $50 Amazon gift card by hitting the "redeem" button or using the code "QUEST3S50" at checkout. This is the lowest price it has been, and the gift card makes it an even better deal. You can also double the storage with the Meta Quest 3s Batman: Arkham Shadow bundle for $349 (originally $399.99), which comes with a $49.01 Amazon credit. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is already $100 off The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 lineup was just released this summer and they have already had some impressive discounts . The Galaxy Watch 8 is $249.99 (originally $349.99) for the Bluetooth version and $299.99 (originally $399.99) for the LTE version . Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is $399.99 (originally $499.99) for the Bluetooth version and $449.99 (originally $549.99) for the LTE version . The Sony XM6 and XM5 headphones are down to their lowest prices ever Sony's 1000X series has been around since 2016, each year's model improving on the previous iteration to eventually land on 2025's Sony WH-1000XM6, which are the best over-ear headphones I tested in 2025 (and ever, really) . Right now, you can get the latest WH-1000XM6 headphones for $398 (originally $459.99), their lowest price ever.
