Feb 01, 2024

Today's daily deals for Thursday, July 27 include a pair of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells, the Bose QuietComfort 45 noise cancelling wireless headphones, a 4-pack of Apple AirTags, 1TB Nintendo Switch compatible memory card, Alienware gaming PCs and laptops, and more.

If you've decided to bulk up this year, then here's a deal that will help you reach your goal. Amazon has the Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells for $349.99. That's a 36% price drop compared to the original $529 MSRP and very close to the lowest price we've seen this year. Each Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way to 52.5 pounds with just a turn of a dial. It's definitely more efficient than constantly swapping discs. In terms of space saving prowess, the Bowflex dumbbells are unmatched. All the plates are neatly contained and doesn't take up much space. You're basically housing two larger profile dumbbells instead of an entire rack of weights.

Amazon Prime Day might be over, but this deal runs through July 31. Amazon is offering one of the best subscription deals we're going to see for the entire month of July. Right now Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus membership. Only new subscribers are eligible. You'll need to log into your Amazon Prime account to see this deal. If you're not sure whether or not you're eligible, simply click on the link; if you see the promo then you're eligible and if you don't then you're not.

Looking for a dirt cheap TV? You can't get any cheaper than this. Amazon has the Insignia F20 32" TV for a mere $79.99 or $24" for $629.99. This is a great TV to fit in a small nook or maybe an RV if you can run it off a generator. It has smart Fire TV functionality as well.

Amazon is currently offering a four pack of Apple AirTags keyfinders for only $84.99. You're essentially paying only $21.25 per keyfinder. That's 15% off MSRP and better than Amazon Prime Day. The Apple Airtag is a small coin shaped device that you can put in your wallet or attach to your phones, keys, remote, or anything small enough to be easily misplaced. It works as a little WiFi keyfinder that helps you locate your lost objects by pinging the exact location to your iPhone. The AirTag uses Bluetooth 5.0 to pinpoint a general location of your lost item. However, if your iPhone model has a U1 chip with Ultra Wideband, there is a "Precision Finding" mode that can give you a numerical distance as well as a directional pointer when your lost item is in range. It's a pretty awesome piece of tech that works a lot better than "it's here somewhere".

Amazon is offering a Lexar Play 1TB U3 A2 Micro SDXC card for only $69.95. Its a little bit more than what we saw during Prime Day, but it's still the best price currently for a 1TB card from a reputable manufacturer. At this price, it's what some people would normally pay for a card half that size! The Lexar Play is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, any recently released smartphone that supports expandable memory, GoPros, cameras and much more.

Lenovo is offering a whopping 34% off the Bose QuietComfort 45 noise cancelling wireless over-ear headphones. Right now it's only $217.55 after coupon code "EXTRA5", a $115.45 price drop from its original $329 MSRP. The Bose QuietComfort 45 is the current model in the lineup after the QC35 II's nearly 5 year reign. It offers outstanding noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and comfortable ergonomics. This is the first of the QuietComfort headphones to finally get rid of the legacy Micro USB connector in favor of USB Type-C. The QC45 boasts up to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge and it also supports fast charging, which gives you 3 hours of juice after only 15 minutes of plugging into a fast charging adapter.

Walmart has this Bluetti power center with 537Wh capacity LFP cells and a 700W max power inverter for only $258. At only 48 cents per watt, that's a solid deal for a power center equipped with LiFePO4 batteries, which are safer and have a longer lifespan than traditional lithium-ion NMC batteries. LFP batteries have less energy density so they're usually heavier, but fortunately this power station weighs in at less than 17 pounds. It can charge via 200W AC or 200W PV (solar panels) or both.

As part of the Dell Black Friday in July Sale, you can get either the Alienware Aurora R13 Intel RTX 3070 gaming PC for only $1149.99. It features a liquid cooled Intel Core i7-12700F CPU, 16GB of DDR5-4400MHz RAM, 1TB SSD, and powered by a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 3070 might be a generation old but it's still no slouch. It's faster than RTX 2080 Ti. Compared to the new RTX 40 series GPUs, the 3070 is neck and neck with the RTX 4060 Ti. This is a great card for running games at at up to 1440p. It's also great for running games at 1080p but with higher refresh rates that so many gaming monitors support these days, like 144Hz or even 240Hz.

Do you want a rig that can handle 4K gaming but don't want to spend over $2K on a gaming PC? Then this might be a good pick for you. As part of its Dell Black Friday in July Sale, Dell is offering an Alienware Aurora R13 RTX 3080 gaming PC for only $1549.99 after an $1150 instant discount. The RTX 3080 is a great pick for up to 4K gaming without spending an egregious sum of money. I myself currently run an RTX 3080 equipped system paired with a 4K display and I can run Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, and Hogwarts Legacy just fine at a steady 60fps. The liquid cooled Intel Core i9-1200F is an excellent gaming and workstation processor that pairs very well with the RTX 3080 and won't bottleneck your gaming.

As part of its Black Friday in July event, Dell is offering the Alienware m17 R5 17" AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX gaming laptop with RTX 3070 Ti video card for only $1249.99 after a massive $1000 in instant savings. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti provides plenty of muscle on the GPU front. Among the RTX 30 series mobile cards, it's only slightly less powerful than the RTX 3080. Compared to desktop variants, it's roughly comparable to the RTX 3060. It's capable of running any game out there on the display's native 1080p resolution and at over 60fps, which is nice because the display is capable of refresh rates of up to 480Hz and, fortunately, is G-SYNC certified.

As part of the Dell Black Friday in July Sale, Dell is offering an Alienware Aurora R14 gaming PC equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800 CPU and GeForce RTX 3060 GPU for only $999.99. Currently this is the least expensive Alienware Aurora PC you can get. The RTX 3060 isn't the most powerful GPU out there, but it's also certainly no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. That means it's perfectly capable of handling pretty much any game out there at 1080p resolution. Depending on what you play, this rig can also do 1440p gaming.
