IT’s a day of “Woot Plus” offerings at the Woot website. At the main Woot, it’s all about Apple products, featuring refurbished iMacs, Airs and PROs… And at “Computers”, they have a sale on various gaming accessories…
A new trio of B&H daily deals is here and as usual for the Friday launches, they run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET but B&H’s website is closed between Friday PM and Saturday PM [check their website for exact times]:
+ iKAN Mylo MB4 Mini Bi-Color Portable Field LED Light for $100 with FREE Mini Insert Slate
+ fear not, a copy of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto is NOT included 
+ DraCast BoltRay LED600 Plus Bi-Color LED Light for $149
+ Logan 450-1: 40″ Artist Elite Mat Cutter for $125
Thursday October 10 in 2019 is upon us all and with it we have a trio of new B&H dailies running until 11:59pm ET today (or earlier if sold out):
+ Davis & Sanford Traverse TR-553-228 Compact Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head for $50
+ rumors that “Davis & Sanford” are related to “Mumford & Sons” are unfounded 
+ refurb TP-LINk Archer A7 AC1750 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router for $30
+ also iON audio thing
Among the Hump Day Woot Electronics deals of the day is a sale on the new condition Sony Cybershot W800 P&S digital camera (20mp 1/2.3″ CCD, 5x optical zoom (26-130mm eq), Lion, 2.7″ LSD, microSD and MS Duo, etc) in the black color scheme going for $50 with free shipping for Prime members [you have to connect your Woot-Prime accounts ~ a one-time action] or $6 flat for the calendar day for non-members. The camera comes with a 90-day Woot warranty and you can buy up to ten per customer.
That’s $10 per optical zoom unit for those buying The Costco Way
The aforementioned sale includes various other assorted electronics including the new condition Force1 U45WF Wi-Fi Camera Drone for $70, a Phantom 2 controller for $40, a couple of Rokus, a couple of gaming accessories, and more. The reason there are multiple items in a daily deal is because sometimes Woot groups together a “Plus” sale and offers it as a daily deal. I don’t know if the Plus sale will continue after the daily deal expires or it will disband or the items will join other sales and such…
If you missed yesterday’s $80 Chromebook, fear not! Woot Computers comes to the rescue with another one, this one is actually $79, it is the refurbished Dell Chromebook 11-3120 Notebook with the Intel N2840 2.16GHz Dual-Core processor, 4GB DDR3 [important these days], 16GB eMMC of on-board storage, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, etc. It comes with a 90-day Woot warranty. Limit up to ten per customer. Of interest if there’s rough usage for the laptop as it is a MIL-STD model.
IMPORTANT: now that Chromebooks have been around for quite a few years, a new twist/risk is raising it’s semi-ugly head. Google does not offer automated OS updates for platforms that are over 6.5 years old. Note that the clock starts ticking on the platform, not the individual laptop. So the clock for this device began ticking when the first Intel N2840 Chromebook came out. This particular model will get auto-updates until June 2020. Details at 11 or more conveniently at the Google Support page for ChromeOS devices
UPDATE: while we are on the topic of daily deals, one of the Amazon Gold Box deals of the day is yet another Anker sale featuring various charging products: powerbanks, cables, car and wall and wireless chargers…

It has 4GB of RAM which these days is pretty much a must for Chromebooks because the web is bloating all the time.
One of the Tuesday Kindle deals of the day at Amazon is an e-book written by Dorothea Lange’s grand daughter about her grandmother, “Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning” for $2.99.
Speaking of ebooks, for a limited time (but longer than a daily deal), Amazon is running a 99c+ ebook sale…
