The OnePlus 9 (8\/10, WIRED Recommends) launched in 2021 but remains a pretty good phone, especially at this price. It will receive two more Android version upgrades (up to Android 14) and three more years of security updates. Performance is speedy, but the cameras aren\u2019t as impressive as its peers. Then again, that might not matter at this price. Find more picks in our Best Android Phones guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Last week, we saw Google\u2019s 2021 Pixel 6 (9\/10, WIRED Recommends) flagship phones dipping to their lowest prices ever. That sale is still somewhat going on. You can get the Pixel 6 256=GB model for as little as $499 ($200 off) and the Pixel 6 Pro for $649 ($250 off). The newer Pixel 6A (8\/10, WIRED Recommends), which launched this summer, is $364 ($85 off), which isn\u2019t as low as it was last week, but it\u2019s still pretty close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Verizon is offering this deal, but you don\u2019t need to be a Verizon customer to purchase. Just select the guest checkout option. With cases for nearly every iPhone, as well as Samsung and Google Pixel phones, plus prices starting at $4, it might be worth picking up some new protection. There are some Apple-made cases too, which don\u2019t go on sale too often, plus other brands we like such as Spigen and Otterbox.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iKAnWF bhyIoG asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-foMCXx bomDaa asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kHmjLe gbVKFf responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jJpQhK jEPxaV AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"apple macbook pro with M1\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dmuwLx fydubv responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gear-Apple-MacBook-Pro-with-M1-SOURCE-Apple.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-brOcMc hFfCYJ caption AssetEmbedCaption-eYEpeY qwmNM asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionText-cNZZli hkSZSE bHMCym faGSa-d caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>MacBook Air with M1.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionCredit-cSxGsC hkSZSE bmsBkF iOEyAO caption__credit\">Photograph: Apple<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is a holdover deal from Prime Day, but it\u2019s still a good discount on our favorite budget MacBook. This MacBook Air (9\/10, WIRED Recommends) from 2020 is powerful and fast, with a long-lasting battery, a lightweight design, and a keyboard that works (unlike some of its predecessors). It\u2019s powered by the M1 chip, which will be supported for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Asus makes some of the best gaming laptops on the market. The G15 is no longer on our list, but it has a solid roster of specs at one of the lowest prices we\u2019ve tracked. With 16 gigs of RAM and a 512-gigabyte solid state drive, plus a snappy Ryzen 9 processor, a bright display, and a capable GPU, this laptop will be as good for work as it is for play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is another very solid spec sheet for a very fair price. We generally like Asus TUF hardware. This machine features an Intel Core i5 processor and Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card, plus a big, bright 15.6-inch display and RGB keyboard backlighting. It\u2019s hard to beat this value, especially with the discount.<\/p>\n<p>Tablet, Smartwatch, and Home Deals<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iKAnWF bhyIoG asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-foMCXx bomDaa asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kHmjLe gbVKFf responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jJpQhK jEPxaV AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Salt Fat Acid Heat book cover\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dmuwLx fydubv responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-Salt-Fat-SOURCE-Joseph-Shin-WIRED.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-brOcMc hFfCYJ caption AssetEmbedCaption-eYEpeY qwmNM asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionText-cNZZli hkSZSE bHMCym faGSa-d caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionCredit-cSxGsC hkSZSE bmsBkF iOEyAO caption__credit\">Photograph: Joseph Shin<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This popular cookbook spawned a TV show of the same name.

These widescreen monitors are great for those of us who can\u2019t seem to stop opening new tabs. We haven\u2019t tested this exact model, but it has a zippy refresh rate and the rest of its specs line up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Series 7 was recently discontinued, but in our Best Apple Watches guide we mention that it\u2019s still worth picking up if you can find it on sale for less than $300. (So close!) If you can wait until Black Friday, you\u2019ll likely be able to get more for your buck. But this is a solid price on a watch that\u2019s totally capable. The model with cellular connectivity is also on sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iKAnWF bhyIoG asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-foMCXx bomDaa asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kHmjLe gbVKFf responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jJpQhK jEPxaV AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-eWcsO lgxMZN asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roverlund Pet Carrying Bag\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dmuwLx fydubv responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gear-Roverlund-Dog-Bag-SOURCE-Roverlund.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-brOcMc hFfCYJ caption AssetEmbedCaption-eYEpeY qwmNM asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionText-cNZZli hkSZSE bHMCym faGSa-d caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Roverlund Pet Carrier.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-UABmB BaseText-fETRLB CaptionCredit-cSxGsC hkSZSE bmsBkF iOEyAO caption__credit\">Photograph: Roverlund<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu uses this pet carrier when he needs to take his 17-pound pup on long weekend trips away from the city. It\u2019s roomy, and the padding is soft enough that he\u2019s caught his dog catching some z\u2019s. He also likes the Out-and-About Pet Tote, which is also on sale for $119 ($30 off). It\u2019s the better everyday bag as you can just plop your pup in there and go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This price is just slightly higher than we saw during Prime Day over the summer. A good Android tablet can be hard to find, especially if you want access to the full Google Play Store, <em>especially<\/em> if you don\u2019t want to spend an arm and a leg.
