Speaking of Woot and computers there’s a few of them available as part of an open-box sale running until February 1st (or earlier for any that sell out – and they do sell out ahead of time as you can see over there)…

128GB Lexar USB-C/USB-A Flash Drive Cable for $19 w/FS

If you have embraced USB-C, Adorama is offering for a limited time (as a “snapshot deal”) the new condition 128GB Lexar JumpDrive C20c for $19 with free shipping. You can buy as many as you like. One side is USB-C (obviously), the other size is full size USB. This is a storage cable, not just a flash stick, so you have a “3 in 1” type of a usage for it. It supports USB 3.1 and promises UP TO 150MB/s read and UP TO 60MB/s write speeds. No coupon, no rebate, just add to le shopping cart and proceed to checkout!

PS: there is a bit of red on it, so it could color-match a Chinese New Year gift bundle 🙂

PS2: speaking of Adorama, they are running a winter sale on various Canon C-series Cinema cameras

Tuesday (EU): Sony a7s for 1358, a7r II for 1729

A duo of Sony E-system full frames can be found in the Tuesday JAN-29-2019 Amazon Germany Gold Box, both body-onlies, with the a7s going for 1358 euro, and the a7r II going for 1729 euro… Today’s sales also include the Motorola G6 Plus (4Gb RAM, 64GB onboard) going for 239 euro. You definitely needs a Wiki page to sort out the G6 models, let alone the whole Moto G line

The choices now in full frame mirrorless have exploded after Photokina 2018, with Canon and Nikon throwing their own hats in the ring, and a new ragtag alliance of three launching Micro Four L 😉

Monday: Gitzo 100-Year Anniversary Tripod, iPads, Surface, Etc

+ GITZO 100-Year Anniversary Edition Tripod with Ball Head for $800

+ TP-Link smarthome thing and smart light bulb

The OS Fairness Doctrine [not to be confused with Doctorate] dictates competing OS deals, so the main Woot website is offering a variety of refurbished Surface 3 PRO tablet bundles from $480 to $780 [with 90-day Woot warranty], with various refurbished Samsung 4K OLED at Woot::Electronics, and Dell Optiplexes at Woot::Computers, and a refurb 10.5″ iPad PRO for $400 at Sellout/Clearance…

Speaking of Amazon, while browsing around in their Kindle ebook pages, you may see an offer for a $5 ebook credit when you spend $20+ in Kindle ebooks between January 22-28 in 2019. This offers requires a login to see, and after you login, you have to activate it before it goes live. Thus, no direct link to the offer, but if you start browsing around the Kindle pages, you may see it. I don’t know if it is targeted or not…

Look for this mini banner on top of Kindle-related Amazon product pages:

[ENDED] EU: 128GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC (95, U3, V30) for 35 Euro [limit five]

As of a JAN-25-2019 re-check [yes, we are just eleven months away from Christmas!], the sale ended, the price is back up to 40 euro… But the Amazon USA Lenovo 2-in-1 Chromebook that was also mentioned in this sprawling post continues to be good as of this update…
