See our ethics statement. Wait, it's only Wednesday? And we already have a nice selection of deals for your perusal? What a week this is shaping up to be! This week has already been jam-packed with news, as Google just wrapped up a search-focused event and Amazon announced a boatload of new hardware yesterday. Quite possibly the most exciting, or contentious, is the Amazon Astro home robot assistant. The little Echo-Show-10-on-wheels-with-a-face can't fetch you a beer, though, and it may be a bit problematic when it comes to in-home surveillance. Either way, you can already request an invite if want to early adopt Amazon's bot to see for yourself. We certainly did, and we plan on reviewing it later this year. Not everything is about Amazon on the deals front, however. Below, we've rounded up a wide selection of discounted tech, from LG's brilliant OLED to a notable selection of SD cards. LG's various OLED offerings include some of the most well-received models across the industry. The C1 OLED is one of these universally praised panels, and it comes in a variety of sizes designed to your preferences and home theater setup. Right now, the 65- and 77-inch models are on sale for $1,797 and $2,997, respectively. These panels are great for media consumption and have just about every feature you could want for gaming on a next-gen PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, including HDMI 2.1 and a 120Hz variable refresh rate, along with support for FreeSync, G-Sync, and Dolby Vision HDR. The OLED also includes a Game Optimizer mode, which allows you to dial in the best settings for different types of games. These features alone make the C1 one of the best 4K TVs for gaming. You can also pick up the 65-inch TV from a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, BuyDig (with an additional $50 Visa gift card), and Costco (with a $100 streaming credit). Same goes for the 77-inch, which is also available at Amazon, Best Buy, BuyDig, and Costco. $1,797 $2,500 29% off Prices taken at time of publishing. LG's C1 OLED starts with a 48-inch model, going up to 83 inches. All sizes of this OLED feature a 120Hz refresh rate, FreeSync and G-Sync support, and a fast processor. Despite not being the newest model, the 2020 Razer Blade 15 Advanced still offers plenty of power, which makes its current, $600 discount at Best Buy something to consider. Although we saw an even deeper discount on the 15-inch laptop earlier this month that brought it down to $1,600, today's discounted price of $1,800 remains a solid deal for a laptop that comes with an RTX 2070 Super graphics chip and a speedy, 300Hz refresh rate display. It even comes packaged with a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, allowing you to give your new hardware several benchmark tests on some of the latest titles. There are plenty of options when it comes to gaming laptops, but it's tough to beat the Razer Blade 15 Advanced in terms of performance and portability. Read our review. $1,800 $2,600 31% off Prices taken at time of publishing. Last year's Razer Blade 15 still packs plenty of heat. The thin, lightweight frame manages to pack in an RTX 2070 Super Max-Q GPU and comes paired with a 10th-gen Core i7 CPU. This provides all the power needed to supply the 300Hz FHD display.

If those massive file sizes have got your Xbox feeling a little bit heavy, this external hard drive from Western Digital is currently available at Best Buy for $150, nearly its best price to date. The 1TB drive is optimized for Xbox consoles, but thanks to USB 3.0 connectivity, it's compatible with PCs as well. The drive does use a slower HDD and caps out at a 400MB/s transfer speed, but this shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you're transferring massive files on a regular basis. There are definitely faster drives on the market, but the WD Gaming Drive is a good option for anyone looking to quickly expand the storage capacity of their Xbox or PC. $150 $220 32% off Prices taken at time of publishing.

Right now, Amazon is offering sizable discounts on SD cards, USB flash drives, SSDs, NVME, internal NAS drives, external drives, and even a super-fast CFexpress card. Here are a few notable call-outs: - The Sandisk Ultra 400GB microSD card is perfect if you want a lot of storage for a Nintendo Switch without spending too much, and $39 is its best price ever on Amazon.
- The 5TB G-Drive ArmorATD from Sandisk is a lot of portable storage at a fair price, and is currently available for $140.
- Lastly, if you're a photographer with a cutting-edge camera using the CFexpress format, there is no better deal around than the 128GB Sandisk CFexpress Extreme Pro, which is available for $150. That card is fast enough for a pro-level sports shooter.
$39 $70 45% off Prices taken at time of publishing. Even with the launch of the new Nintendo Switch OLED model and its expanded 64GB of storage, it can only hold so many games. A microSD card can fit much more, and the 400GB card from Sandisk is one of the best price-per-gigabyte options around. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.
