Tech and Accessory Deals
This deal is a holdover from before Christmas. It’s a bit less appealing now, but if you wanted an iPad and didn’t get one, it may be worth your while. The 9th-generation slate (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite iPad. It’s powerful enough for most users and it’s compatible with the majority of our favorite accessories.
Select items are on sale at Nomad with coupon code HH2023. This includes a few different versions of the Nomad Rugged Case with MagSafe, which is one of our very favorite MagSafe accessories.
The Amazon price is $40 cheaper than we saw during Black Friday and $10 cheaper than we saw last week. We just added this slate to our Best Tablets guide. It’s a relatively snappy Android machine that comes with a stylus—it’s great for catching up on shows, browsing your favorite apps, and even some light work. The price is a little high, but this deal makes up for it somewhat. The smaller Tab S9 FE is also on sale for $400.
Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones (9/10, WIRED Recommends) have been a stalwart pair of wireless headphones for years now, and the reason for their success is plain. With excellent noise canceling, warm and detailed sound, and a ton of modern features in a comfy design, they’re among the best travel headphones you can buy. This deal is even better than what we saw on Cyber Monday, though it has been around for a few weeks.
We thought the Beats Studio Pro headphones (7/10, WIRED Review) were good, not great, but that was before they dropped to this price a few weeks ago. These headphones have excellent noise canceling, solid sound quality, and a USB-C plug for high-resolution audio. They pair easily with Apple and Android devices and even have head tracking for spatial audio.
The Hatch Restore 2 is our favorite sleep gadget, and this is the best price we have seen for it. It’s an excellent sunrise alarm clock that’ll wake you up gently in a similar manner to the sun rising outside of your window. Some of the best sounds and features are locked behind a paywall that starts at $5 per month, but we still think this is a solid gadget, especially at this price.
The Google Pixel 8 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the company’s newest flagship phone. It’s good! It performs well, the camera is fantastic, and the performance is snappy. Our only gripe is with the battery life, which left much to be desired in our testing. The Pixel 8 Pro is also on sale for $799 ($200 off). Read more about the two phones, plus the rest of the lineup, in our Google Pixel Phone Buying Guide.
This Motorola Razr is one of the cheapest folding phones you can get right now, and it’s kind of surprising that it has dropped this low. It doesn’t have the larger front screen its successor has, but it still has a gorgeous, 6.9-inch OLED screen when open, 128 GB of storage, and a beefy 4,200-mAh battery.
The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is really good for an Android tablet, but it’s the included charging dock—which doubles as a speaker—that makes it stand out. This combo device lets you pick up the slate to use it like a normal tablet and set it down to use as a smart speaker when you don’t need it. You can even set up to eight user profiles, so anyone in the family can use it with their own apps and home screen.
The OLED Alienware AW3423DW (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is sublime. It’s our favorite luxury gaming pick in our Best Monitors guide. The image quality and colors are top-notch, and the responsive, immersive screen makes for a fantastic gaming experience.
This is our top pick for the Best Robot Vacuum and this is the same deal we saw during Cyber Monday. Roborock’s entry-level vacuum is remarkably fast and thorough. It only rarely gets stuck, and it uses lidar, not cameras, to navigate through your home. It has multi-map capability for multistory houses and mop functionality.

Stock is fluctuating in and out, but this sale is worth checking if you want to add some new games to your Nintendo Switch library. Options include Mario titles, Diablo III, and more. Check back later if a title is out of stock since it may become available again.
We’ve seen this game sell for around $30 recently, so $8 for the digital edition seems like a good…
