DEAD! Nokia Lumia 520 $39.99 Amazon free shipping

The deal is almost over, but one thing to note is that AT&T has actually been pretty fast with the WP 8.1 updates for their phones, so the Lumia 520 had its OTA update pushed out a week or two ago, meaning that you get all the cool new features like Cortana. What's also really nice in the update...

Nokia Lumia 635 + Fitbit Flex bundle starting at $148.95

Yeah, the resolution is the weak spot, but Windows Phone does a pretty darn good job of scaling the fonts at that resolution. It looks a little better than you think just looking at the numbers. Still it is a trade off that they had to make to get the price down around $100 while still including...

Nokia Lumia 635 + Fitbit Flex bundle starting at $148.95

Great deal from the Microsoft Store for anyone looking for a good deal on an inexpensive no-contract phone. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Nokia-Lumia-635-%2B-FitBit-Flex-Bundle/productID.305841200 The price depends on the version of the phone. With AT&T, the phone is...

OfficeJet Pro 8600 - $99 or less at Staples

I just got a smoking hot deal on the OfficeJet 8600 Pro multifunction printer at my local Staples in Redmond, WA yesterday. The price on the website is currently $99.99, but they had it marked down in-store to $79.99, plus they had a 20% off in store coupon they were letting me use on it so it...

Refurb Google Nexus 7 32GB Android Tablet $100 after 50.00 MIR at Newegg

I thought the TRIM support in the newer versions Android helped a lot with the lag? My 2013 model has been doing great, so I assumed the older one was helped by the new updates.

Turbotax: 10% extra on Federal return for Amazon Gift Card

This doesn't help me much since I wound up owing $2 this year, which is pretty much winning at taxes because I got it so close to zero on almost $100k of household income.

If anyone has a Playstation 3, Bioshock Infinite is also a free download this month for Playstation Plus. Borderlands 2 is also available now as well, which just about pays for the $50 per year subscription fee.

Nokia lumia 521 $80, potentially $70 + tax free shipping

If you want one that works with AT&T, I'd wait until you see a deal on the Lumia 520 AT&T Go Phone, since it is pretty much the same phone (aside from the 521 being a tad bit taller) and it is already set up for AT&T. The best speed you'll get it 21 Mpbs HSPA+ in either case, though. The 520 on...

2012 Nexus 7 $139.90 at Staples

I thought the issue with the Nexus 7 was lack of TRIM, and once you upgrade to 4.3 and let it do a few overnight TRIM runs while it is charging, the performance gets back to where it should be.

Nokia Lumia 521 for $100 on HSN.

Yes, the map info has to reside on the phone memory, but you can add a microSD card for storing music, photos, and videos, so it's not that big of an issue unless you have a lot of app downloads that need space on the phone storage. The entire US comes out at a little over 2 GB and most other...

Nokia Lumia 521 for $100 on HSN.

Nokia has also just updated HERE Drive to the non-Beta version so for $20 you can upgrade Drive from regional navigation to a global license (since you can download the full country maps to the phone, this gives you free offline turn-by-turn navigation in 95 countries).

27" IPS LED 2560x1440 $365 at MonoPrice

Is there any lag on DisplayPort? A quick search doesn't show anything conclusive. I'm little annoyed because I'm trying to find a cheap, 27" to 30" high-res monitor for my work PC with DP, and I'm not seeing too many options. I'd rather not deal with big, clunky adapters if I can avoid it...

30" IPS 2560x1600 Monoprice monitor $597+shipping

Would it kill them to start putting at least one Display Port on cheap monitors? Seriously. My work laptop has DP out, and I don't want to mess around with a clunky adapter. How much could it add to the price?

10" Tablet Refub, Windows 8 Pro, Dual Core Atom $330ish+Tax, Dell Outlet

Not 100% sure about booting from the USB drive, because that can vary with the firmware/UEFI options, but any Win 8 tablet should be able to do all of those things if it has a SD card slot like the Latitude 10. The only issue with Win 8/RT is that the Metro apps for the Start Screen generally...

Best Buy - crazy Blu Ray Sale

Darn, I was hoping they would have a good deal on the Tron/Tron Legacy 3D pack. I just haven't been able to find a decent deal on that one. I'm just not paying $40-$60 for the two movies. The other prices are pretty hot, though.

It's back-Harmony 300i remote (refurb)-$17 @NE

That would be nice for the bedroom. One question, though. I already have a Harmony One for the living room. Would it be possible to use this remote with my same account, or would I have to set up a second account on another computer in order to program this remote without having to remove my One.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2012 HDTV roundup

YMMV - New Logitech Harmony One Remote - $109.99 + Tax at Costco (BM)

This is an especially great deal because the new Harmony Touch just looks uncomfortable to use with the rew/ff/play/pause buttons at the top of the remote above the touch screen, so there's probably not going to be a good replacement for this model once it is discontinued.

Philips Sonicare * shellshocker & Costco

I totally agree. The newer models with the smaller brush heads are MUCH better. The old design with the twist on heads just gets too nasty. I've had both models, and spent way too much time bleaching out the top of the toothbrush and trying to get the gunk that was built up under the head.

New HP/Palm phones are dirt cheap on Amazon.

They'd probably run like crap if you did, since they are running an older ARM core at 600 MHz. I really don't recommend Android on anything less than a 1 GHz A8-based chip. It's just not a smooth experience.

Parallels Desktop for Mac 6 free (AR)

That's debatable. I consider free AR to be a very hot deal. I've always regarded the Free Stuff forum to be more of a place for free samples and other stuff that is free but not really a hot deal. I honestly rarely look at that forum, so I appreciate this posting in Hot Deals.

Consumer Alert - Buy Hard Drives Now. Prices To Rise.

The external prices seem to be holding for now at least in the B&M retail stores, thanks to their sale ads that were printed way in advance. I just grabbed a WD 2TB external from Staples for $100 to tide me over until the hard drive prices get back to normal.

Consumer Alert - Buy Hard Drives Now. Prices To Rise.

I'm so glad I grabbed a 750GB laptop drive a few weeks ago for my wife's Macbook. I was planning on getting it during the holiday sales, but I found a good Shellshocker deal at Newegg and jumped on that. What i paid $50 at the beginning of the month is now running $100. It's crazy!

Yes. As I mentioned above, the 750 GB Samsung I bought for my wife's laptop shot up from around $70 (I got it on sale for $50) to $100 in a matter of weeks. I have to wonder if this is going to screw with a lot of holiday sales, since those ads are generally printed at least a month or more in...
