MEANwhile of the Tuesday Amazon USA gold box offerings there’s a feast of television with “Fire TV” technology built-in, and from the looks of it the discounts are for Prime members only. Mayhaps the AI bots at Amazon are practicing for Prime Day 2022 😉

Next up, of super-budget Windows laptop interest, one of the Tuesday Best Buy dailies is a 14-inch ASUS laptop with 4GB RAM, Celeron N4500, 128GB eMMC on-board, 1360 x 768, 1-year warranty, Windows 11 in S-mode (easy to get rid of S-mode), etc…

It’s All-Star Game time! No, not the NBA, that’s Draft time. The current B&H Photo daily deals have their recurring All-Star Game, the MEGA DEAL ZONE featuring most of the daily deals that ran the last few months!

As of the time of writing there are 1317 active offers! About half of them (626) are in the Photography category.

Too many to list here individually obviously. Time permitting I will go through them and point out items of potential interest. You can use the various filters on the B&H mega deal zone page to filter them by category, manufacturer, price, etc.

Another way to browse is by looking at our previous daily deals posts that prominently feature the B&H dailies.

I’ll leave you for now with what the B&H Mega Deal Zone AI thinks is the headliner, it’s a $479 laptop, the 13.5″ ACER SWIFT 3, with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 4-Core (11th Gen), Intel EVO platform, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 13.5″ 2256 x 1504 IPS, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, Wifi 6, Thunderbolt 4, two USB 3.2 G1, HDMI, bluetooth 5.1, 84% screen to body, up to 14 hours battery life, backlit keyboard, 1-year Bitdefender, 2.62 lbs, etc. No card reader, no ethernet port, no touchscreen. Runs Windows 10 Home. Per the Q&A, answers by B&H staff, this can be upgraded to Windows 11 and no, the 8GB RAM is soldered on the motherboard, so no RAM upgrades.

Yes, we’ve become 1001 Noisy Laptops 😉

PS: I’m just appending this here because I don’t want to create a new short post, Monoprice is having a phone cables sale with Lighting and USB-C options from $6 to $9. And as soon as Father’s Day is over, the “Dads n Grads sale” quickly morphs into Independence Day sale 🙂
