There are plenty of Google Home Mini deals popping up this week, but this offer is unique in that it lets you get two great products for the price of one. Right now, purchase a 4-pack of Tile trackers and receive a free Google Home Mini in any color as a bonus. Tile trackers attach to your valuables (think easily misplaced items like your keys or wallet) and can be located with the accompanying app -- or, since your new Google Home Mini can talk to your Tiles, with a simple voice command.
On the site, you can choose between three different 4-packs of Tile trackers, ranging from $49 to $69. The $49 option (reduced from the original price of $59) contains two Tile Mates and two Tile Slim item trackers.While DVDs may seem like old news, there’s a very good reason Insignia continues to sell this product. Most new laptops have sacrificed the DVD drive in favor of portability, so if you buy a new computer, you won’t be able to play your movies on it. This can be crucial for parents on long road trips or professionals who often take long flights. To solve the issue, bring the Insignia 9” DVD player along with you. You can play all your favorite titles (or the kids’ favorite titles) at the touch of a button. At 50 percent off, any movie lover needs to give the Insignia Dual Portable DVD Player a second look.

You have an external hard drive for your photos and programs. Why not have one for your video games, too? At least, that’s what Seagate thought when they designed their 8TB external drive for Xbox. The device expands your Xbox storage capacity for faster processing, allowing you to store over 200 games and their accompanying data. Plus, two front-facing USB ports let you charge controllers and transfer data at the drop of a hat. While it’s a great at-home storage solution, it also means you can take your games and data on the go -- perfect for late-night sessions at your buddy’s house.
This week, you can save up to $100 on select PCs powered by AMD. One of our favorites is the 15.6” HP ENVY x360, which pulls double duty as a laptop and a tablet. Inside, you’ll find a powerful AMD Ryzen™ 7 processor, 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics card. This combines to let you run multiple programs and keep many tabs open without experiencing significant reductions in speed. It isn’t the lightest computer on the market, though HP designed the ENVY x360 to be thin and portable while maintaining essential features. These include an HDMI output, built-in media reader and two USB ports, but no disk drive. The laptop comes finished in a modern dark ash color.
This deal of the day is on special for $300 off -- a price you probably won’t see again even during Black Friday deals. It’s an excellent product, too. ASUS designed this laptop with a touchscreen display, Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. Like the HP ENVY x360, the ASUS Q405UA Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop transforms into a tablet with a few simple maneuvers, making it especially versatile. Unlike the ENVY, this laptop comes with a 1TB hard drive, with plenty of room to store all your videos and files (though if an SSD is on your wishlist, the HP may be your best option).
As the successor to the Yoga 910 and Yoga 920 — we reviewed and loved both — the Yoga C930 has a lot of pressure on it to live up to the legacy. It's not any thinner or lighter, the port selection really hasn't changed, and even the hardware inside is mostly the same.However, if you've been following the 9-series for a while, you'll no doubt notice that the character watchband hinge is missing and that the whole laptop has a more aggressive design when closed. The C930 also has a smaller battery, which will be noticed more if you opt for the 4K display over the standard FHD option. Do these changes work, or did Lenovo mess too much with a good thing? I used the C930 for about a week to determine whether or not it's worth the relatively high starting price.
Lenovo supplied Windows Central with a review unit of the 14-inch Yoga C930. It has inside an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor (CPU), 12 GB of RAM, and a Hynix 256 GB M.2 PCIe solid-state drive (SSD). The box includes a 65 W charger that uses a USB-C port, and there's also an active pen that's actually built into the laptop itself.This configuration with the RAM at 8 GB costs about $1,500 at Lenovo (there doesn't seem to be any 12 GB RAM configurations available), with models reaching up to about $1,960 if you opt for the 4K display and 1 TB PCIe SSD.The Yoga C930 isn't a huge departure from last year's Yoga 920 in the hardware department. You're still getting performance that can carry you through a standard day of work with relative ease. Here's the hardware found in the review unit.
The Yoga C930 demands a relatively high price, so you expect a premium feel and look. It weighs in at 3.04 pounds (1.38 kg) so it's not exceptionally light for a 13-inch device, but the unibody aluminum chassis is solid. There's no flex in the body and only slight flex the lid, and it's balanced well enough that you can open the laptop with one hand. Sitting on a desk the beveled edge makes it look thinner than it really is, and the sides are cut to reflect light for a bit of contrast.
From start to finish, it's clear that this laptop has been designed with care and attention.Gone is the watchband hinge that was a key feature of previous Yoga 9-series Ultrabooks, replaced with a unique dual hinge system that has one large soundbar and another smaller hinge. Aesthetically they don't compare to the old hinge, and they're not quite as tight; however, they let the laptop rotate around to tablet, tent, and stand modes with smooth action.A fingerprint reader is set into the right palm rest far enough away that your palm won't rub it while typing. It's one of the fastest I've tested, allowing me to log in through Windows Hello with what seems like no hesitation.
Everything about the Yoga C930 looks classy, whether it's closed, open, or rotated around to one of its other convertible modes. The lid sits forward when it's flat for an aggressive stance, and open the lid sits flush with the bottom for a close fit.The display unit has an FHD display (you can also get a 4K display at checkout) with an IPS panel and glossy finish. Whether you choose FHD or 4K, the display is compatible with Dolby Vision for better contrast and color. Used normally, I found that the display wasn't quite bright enough to be clearly seen in a room with streaming sunlight, not helped at all by the glossy finish that causes a lot of glare. I tested color reproduction and came away with 97 percent sRGB and 73 percent AdobeRGB, which are not bad results compared to most other Ultrabooks in this arena. Color is not washed out, and you get a clear and vibrant picture no matter what you're using the laptop for.
