AirTags and cheap gaming laptops headline our favorite deals this week
Apple’s AirTags have become one of my essentials while traveling, namely because they let me check whether my luggage is in the right place instead of panicking at the baggage claim. And right now, you can get a four-pack of AirTags at Amazon and Walmart for $64.99 ($35 off), which is just a few cents short of the bundle’s all-time low.
The sleek Bluetooth trackers let you check their location using Apple’s Find My app. If the item is out of Bluetooth range, you can flag the AirTag as lost, and you’ll receive an update on its location whenever it’s near an iPhone or iPad. You can also share the location of an AirTag with up to five other people or select airlines if your bag doesn’t arrive at the terminal or you need someone to grab it ASAP.
If you have an iPhone 15 or newer model, you can also leverage ultra wideband tech to enable “precision finding,” which will show you the distance and direction to your AirTag. What’s more, each location tracker uses replaceable batteries and carries an IP67 rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in up to a meter of water for half an hour.

There’s no shortage of great gaming laptops out there, but it’s hard to argue against the value of Lenovo’s Legion 5 — especially given it’s currently on sale for $1,049 ($501 off) at Walmart, which is about $100 short of its recent Prime Day low. The Legion 5 features a 15.1-inch 2,560 x 1,600 OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU. That’s a lot of power for a gaming laptop in this price range, and you can upgrade its storage (up to 2TB) and RAM (up to 32GB) yourself to improve its performance down the line.
If you want a more capable machine out of the box, you can also pick up the step-up configuration with 1TB of storage and an Intel Core i7 14700HX processor for $1,199 ($300 off) at Walmart. Both models are equipped with a backlit RGB keyboard, three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, an ethernet port, and a power adapter port.

If you want to cut the cord (and binge-watch your favorite shows and movies), Hulu is offering a three-month subscription to Hulu with Live TV for $64.99 ($25 off) through November 5th at 6PM ET. The ongoing promo is limited to new and former subscribers, though, specifically those who haven’t had an active subscription in more than a month.
Hulu with Live TV lets you stream more than 95 channels, including Comedy Central, VH1, and Adult Swim. A subscription also provides access to Hulu and Disney Plus (with ads), along with both ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. The trio of streaming services lets you watch live sports and download new shows and movies, including Andor, Abbot Elementary, The Lowdown, Alien Earth, Stay, and Tempest. Just keep in mind that your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current price after three months, unless you cancel it beforehand.

More standouts from this week
- Summer might be over, but you can still grab JBL’s Charge 6 at Walmart starting at $153.99 ($46 off). The waterproof Bluetooth speaker features an upgraded woofer, up to 28 hours of continuous playback, and an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in more than three feet of water for over 30 minutes. The Charge 6 also supports JBL’s AI Sound Boost feature — which analyzes your audio to avoid distortion at higher volumes — as well as lossless audio from streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify (finally), so long as you connect using a USB-C cable.
- CMF’s Buds 2A were already a solid pair of budget earbuds, but they’re even more so today, now that they’re on sale at Amazon for Prime members for a mere $29 ($20 off). The inexpensive in-ears feature noise cancellation, a sweat-proof IP54 rating, and multipoint Bluetooth support, not to mention up to five hours of playback with ANC enabled or eight hours with it off. You can also tweak their sound, adjust ANC levels, and locate them via Nothing’s app, which is a welcome surprise for a pair of $30 earbuds.
- If you want to beef up your home security system, Ring’s Battery Doorbell Plus is down to a new low of $79.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Our favorite battery-powered buzzer can record sharp 1536p video, capture an entire person from top to bottom, and features removable batteries for easy charging. It also lasts about two months on a single charge with HDR and snapshot capture enabled, and with a Ring Home subscription ($4.99 a month / $49.99 a year), can provide up to 180 days of history.
