Amazon Prime Day is back, baby! OK, maybe not technically speaking, but so many Amazon devices are currently discounted at Best Buy and other retailers that it’s giving us a major sense of deja vu. Right now, for example, you can buy Amazon\u2019s excellent Smart Thermostat at Best Buy<\/a> and Target<\/a> for just $41.99 ($18 off) \u2014 a record low set during Prime Day. <\/p>\n

The budget-friendly thermostat will mesh with most decor, and can even learn and adapt to your habits like more expensive options. Be aware, however, that you can\u2019t integrate the device with voice assistants beyond Alexa, and there are no native temperature sensors. Still, if those caveats don\u2019t bother you, Amazon\u2019s Smart Thermostat is a great option to consider, one that could potentially help you save money on energy bills.

\n

Developed in partnership with Resideo, the Amazon Smart Thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home through Alexa voice controls and remotely via an app.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some of Amazon\u2019s smart displays and speakers are also back on sale today, despite the recency of Prime Day. If you\u2019re looking for a smaller smart speaker, you can currently buy the spherical, fourth-gen Echo Dot for $19.99 instead of $49.99 at Best Buy<\/a> and Target<\/a>. The latest model may have launched in 2020, but it still sounds great for its size and allows you to set alarms, control various smart home devices, and carry out a host of tasks with just your voice. Read our fourth-gen Echo Dot review.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon Echo Dot (fourth-gen) <\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\n

The 2020 Echo Dot features a more spherical design than an actual dot but can still do all the things Alexa does with other Echo models. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you prefer a smart display you can watch movies on and use to look up recipes, Best Buy is also selling the second-gen Echo Show 5 for $34.99<\/a> instead of $84.99, as is Target<\/a>. The small, 5.5-inch display makes for a great bedside alarm clock, namely because you can use it to quickly check the weather and snooze it with just a tap.<\/p>\n

If you prefer something larger, however, you can also buy the 8-inch Echo Show 8 from 2019 at Best Buy for $54.99 ($55 off)<\/a>. The older display still sounds better than the second-gen Echo Show 5, and comes with a built-in shutter to block the camera. Sure, the 2019 model still comes outfitted with a measly 1MP camera and a slower processor than the latest Echo Show 8, but it\u2019s still a capable Alexa-powered smart display that\u2019s well-suited for the kitchen or living room. Read our <\/strong>second-gen Echo Show 5<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>first-gen Echo Show 8<\/strong><\/a> reviews.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Amazon\u2019s Echo Show 5 is an ideal smart display for a nightstand. You can set alarms with Alexa using your voice, play music, control smart displays, get a weather report, and more. When the alarm goes off, you merely need to tap the top of the Echo Show 5 to snooze it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The last-gen Echo Show 8 is Amazon\u2019s mid-size smart display. It features a sharp, 8-inch screen and most of the features found on the second-gen model, though, it lacks the latter\u2019s 13MP camera and speedy performance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Somehow, we\u2019re already approaching the start of a new school year. And if you\u2019re a college-bound student in need of a powerful Apple laptop that\u2019s ideal for content creation, the 14-inch MacBook Pro is available to My Best Buy members<\/a> today for its lowest price to date.<\/p>\n

Regularly $1,999, you can buy the MacBook Pro in space gray with 16GB of RAM, an eight-core M1 Pro processor, and 512GB of storage for $1,699<\/a>. The 14-inch machine offers an impressive selection of ports and grade-A performance, battery life that outperforms most other laptops we\u2019ve seen, and a beautiful Mini LED display \u2014 something even the new M2 MacBook Air<\/a> doesn\u2019t have. Just keep in mind that My Best Buy is the retailer\u2019s free rewards program, one that is distinct from Best Buy\u2019s premium TotalTech service. Read our review<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
