The 2021 Apple TV 4K drops to $130, plus the rest of the week’s best tech deals
This week brought back some of our favorite tech deals we’ve seen all year. A four pack of Apple’s AirTags is back on sale for $89, while the Apple TV 4K has dropped to $130. While neither of those are all-time lows, they’re very close and great deals on a couple of the most popular Apple gadgets right now. Amazon also just discounted its Echo smart speaker to $60, which its a record low and a return to its Prime Day price, plus you can still pick up the Chromecast with Google TV for only $40. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.
Apple TV 4K
The Apple TV 4K is back in stock at Amazon and on sale for $130. While not quite as cheap as it was on Prime Day last week ($109), this remains one of the best prices we’ve seen no our favorite high-end set-top box. We gave the device a score of 90 for its fast performance, Dolby Vision and Atmos support, HomeKit integration and much-improved Siri remote.

The Show 15 is the most unique of Amazon’s smart displays as it’s a large TV-like device that you can mount on the wall and that will show you things like calendar events, reminders, shopping lists and more. It also lets you video chat and watch shows and movies from services like Netflix, Prime Video and others.

Solo Stove
Solo Stove’s summer sale knocks up to $350 off fire pits, so you can grab one for as low as $200. The discounts translate to $100 off the Ranger, $180 off the Bonfire and $350 off the Yukon. We like these fire pits because their double-walled designs minimize smoke while keeping the fire hot, and they’re sleek and relatively portable, too.

Elgato’s Stream Deck MK.2 is $25 off and down to $125, which is the cheapest we’ve seen it. This is the latest version of the company’s handy streaming controller and it includes 15 programmable keys that can trigger actions like launching apps, muting your mic, turning on lights and more. It’s a popular peripheral for game streamers, but general power-users will also find a lot of uses for the gadget.
