Wedn: ONA Brixton, Genaray, Fotodiox, Zhiyun, LG, Galaxy Chromebook 2, Etc
Once again we are at the halftime show in the week, it’s Wednesday and there’s a new half-a-dozen B&H Photo daily deals good until Wednesday 8/18/21 at 11:59pm ET (or earlier IFF sold-out):
+ ONA Brixton Camera/Laptop Messenger Bag for $169 with FREE Canvas Wax, in three color options [the bags, not the wax LOL]

Three Windows laptops ($190 HP Celeron, $500 HP i5, $700 Dell Ryzen 7) headline the Best Buy dailies but that’s not all, there’s a non-afterthought Chromebook, one that is not just made with the leftover parts in the warehouse 😉 It’s the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (13.3″ QLED 1080p, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, Intel i3, backlit keyboard, microSD slot, Wifi 6, etc) going for $499 in new condition or $364 in open-box condition. This only in the “Fiesta Red” color-scheme. However, as it is often the case with Samsung, it has just one USB-C port on each side, so a USB-C hub (or two) are your new best friends 🙂
As of the time of writing it averages 4.6 out of 5 based on nearly 200 customer reviews at Best Buy with a 91% “recommend to a friend”. They should also have a “recommend to an enemy” option 🙂
Meanwhile in Wootlandia the headliner is an iPhone-a-pa-looza of Grade A refurbished with 90-day Woot warranty with prices ranging from $28 (MagSafe charger) to $480 (lowest priced iPhone in the sale) to $1180…

Kindle Paperwhite down to $80 (or $70 certified refurbished)
Reading is FUN-da-MENTAL! And if you like to use e-ink e-book-readers for your reading, Amazon has a limited time promotion on their Kindle Paperwhite (8GB storage, waterproof, Ad Supported) going for $80. Or you can buy the “Without Ads” for $100. These are available in four different color schemes even!
Since this is an e-ink device, and not a phone/tablet, the ads are not annoying. You can start with the “Ad Supported” version and if you find you can’t stomach even the lite ads, you can pay Amazon a one time $20 fee to have them removed from a particular device. I personally found some interesting books to read through the ads but everyone’s tolerance to advertising is different.
If you want to save another $10, they have the certified refurbished option for $70. These sold on the Amazon website come with the same 1-year Amazon warranty as the new condition models. Note however that those sold at Woot as used/refurbished, only come with a 90-day warranty.
The one time I bought a certified refurbished Kindle I couldn’t tell the difference between a new and a refurbished. Another time they sent me a warranty-replacement of an early generation Paperwhite, again, I couldn’t tell the difference between new and refurbished.
If you want to sort out the different models, here’s a handy tablet at Wikipedia. The one on sale is the latest Paperwhite model, the Paperwhite 4, launched in November 2018… After that came two newer models in 2019, a new “basic Kindle” and a new “flagship Oasis”…
Tuesday: SpyderX Color, GVM BiC, MeFoto RoadTrip, Westcott X-Drop kit, Etc
Tuesday is here and there’s a new 4-pack of B&H Photo dailies running until Tuesday 8/17/21 at 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out):
+ Datacolor SpyderX Color Control Kit for $270
+ MeFoto RoadTrip Aluminum Travel Tripod Kit (Titanium) for $85
+ GVM Bi-Color LED Video Light G100W for $209
+ Westcott X-Drop Kit (5 x 7′, Green Screen) for $74
Yet another external HDD is once again the Best Buy dailies headliner, this time around it is the 14TB WD EasyStore USB 3.0 going for $270… The rest include a 128GB Sandisk Extreme PLUS (not PUS) microSDXC for $33, sale on Instapot multicookers, 1TB Seagate OneTouch external HDD for $50, and even a Hot Wheels mega set (mayhaps a good test subject for camera/lens testing?)…
Bio-bidets are the headliner of the Woot dailies because WATER >> PAPER when it comes to cleaning 🙂 There’s a Brim 19-bar expresso [OOOPS, espresso] machine for $226, WD internal gaming SSD, Defiant Mushroom coffee blend (not sure if this is mushroom or coffee LOL), and more…
UPDATE: party at the NewEgg dailies among which you can haz:
+ 3pk of NewEgg-branded beanie hats for $12
+ 128GB Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 Type A for under $18 with promo code shown there (they don’t show the coupon discount)
+ 256GB Lexar Performance microSDXC for $27 after the $7 off promo code shown over there
+ lots of other offers
MEANWHiLE at the Amazon USA Gold Box there’s a sale of APC UPS and surge protectors ($12 to $188) and a Motorhead drill and impact drivers sale. Yes, heavy metal but not _that_ kind of heavy metal 😉
