The best Amazon Prime Day deals you can still shop

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

Amazon’s first four-day Prime Day technically ended yesterday, but a few deals have stuck around a little longer. You won’t see a bright red “Prime Day Deal” tag anymore, which can make these stragglers a little hard to find, so we’ve collected them for you. These deals could end at any time, and we wouldn’t expect them to last very long. Still, if you sat out Prime Day this year, there’s still a chance to get that big-screen TV, a robot vacuum, or a pair of wireless earbuds at a steep discount. Smart home deals Vacuum deals Headphone and earbud…

24 hours with Alexa Plus: we cooked, we chatted, and it kinda lied to me

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

There’s a new AI in the house. I've waited two years to try out the new Alexa, which was first announced way back in 2023, and this week I finally got access to Alexa Plus. I've now spent 24 hours with Amazon's generative AI-powered voice assistant, and it's not just an improvement on the original; it's an entirely new assistant. Alexa Plus knows more, can do more, and is easier to interact with because it understands more. I can ramble, pause, sigh, cough, change my request mid-sentence, and it can adapt and respond appropriately. No more, "Sorry, I'm not sure…

Playdate’s second season sucked me back into the little yellow handheld

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

The Playdate is easy to forget about. It's colorful and weird, but it's also tiny. Like the Game Boy Micro before it, sometimes I toss it in a bag and then can't remember where I put it. But over the past few weeks, the yellow handheld has been in constant rotation in my house, despite being up against big distractions like Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2, thanks to the Playdate's now-complete second season of games. The seasonal structure is one of the unique aspects of the Playdate. When the handheld first launched in 2022, owners got access to…

Rivian R1S review: second time’s the charm

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

Just four years after Rivian began selling its R1T truck, 2025 marks the beginning of the R1T and R1S' second generation. Considering they look essentially the same on the outside, it might be hard to decipher what warrants a new generation. But underneath, it's actually quite easy: all-new electric architecture, a new motor arrangement, retuned suspension, and more. Kicking off at $107,700, here's how all these revisions make the 2025 Rivian R1S Premium Tri-Motor a true frontrunner in the modern EV space. Specs The tri-motor arrangement fits in between the base dual and top-level quad, and was my tester's powertrain…

Prime Day is almost over, but our favorite deals are still live

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

⠀ We made it to the last day of Amazon’s extended Prime Day extravaganza. And, yeah, we’re a little exhausted, but after three days of lightning deals and all-time low prices, there are fewer than 12 hours to go until many of the discounts disappear. So, if you’ve been hesitant to jump on these laptop deals before heading back to school, now’s your time to act. Typically, Prime Day is your last opportunity to take advantage of bottom-dollar prices until Black Friday / Cyber Monday, so it may be a while before you see prices plummet on a gadget you’re…

hightechz.net0 CommentsProducts

Apple’s M4 MacBook Air is still $150 off. Amazon has solid discounts on laptops that are still available during the final day of its four-day Prime Day sales event. One of the nice things about shopping during Prime Day, even if you don’t have the requisite Prime subscription, is that Best Buy and others often follow suit with their own competing deals. As is typical, we found deals on models The Verge swears by — many of which should treat you well for years to come. A laptop purchase is extra tricky because it’s usually a multipurpose machine for a…
