We’ve made it through another week and another month, and as we get ready for the first June weekend of the year, we invite you to check out some of the most impressive tech deals we found this week. You’d think that after the big Memorial Day sales, prices would rocket back up, but there are still well-reviewed products at nice discounts. Every Friday, we round up five of the deepest price cuts I can find, and this week, we’ve got home networking, smartwatches, laptops, and more at up to 50% off.
If you’re getting your home or office internet from a single router, it’s time to get with the program. Mesh networks take the signal from your ISP and distribute it across multiple nodes throughout a space. But unlike traditional extenders, these nodes intelligently balance their connections for optimal speed and stability, constantly adjusting their performance based on position and demand. In our review, we called TP-Link’s Deco system “a breeze to install and you can manage it with a user-friendly mobile app that comes with a lifetime subscription to TP-Link’s HomeCare parental controls and anti-malware tools.” Over $100 off is an incredible deal.

Home security is more affordable than ever, and one of our favorite setups is on sale at a massive discount. The Arlo XL isn’t an inconspicuous unit, but it captures crisp, clean 2K video day and night, is a breeze to install and boasts some lengthy battery life. A built-in spotlight and siren lets you ward off prowlers, and intelligent motion alerts ping your phone in case of trouble. We gave it an Editors’ Choice award in our review, stating that it “plays nice with many third-party devices and reliably responds to voice commands.”

They may not have the cultural cachet of Apple’s in-ear headphones, but JBL’s Tune 230NC models deliver solid audio quality and noise cancellation for a fraction of the price, especially at a 40% discount. The Active Noise Cancelling monitors external sound and negates it, and the Talk Thru command lets you quickly deactivate it for conversations. IPX4 water resistance and sweatproofing keeps them running even when the weather’s bad. In our review, we said good things about their “powerful bass-forward audio with bright highs,” as well as the in-depth customization available through the JBL app.

Sometimes you don’t want to invest a ton of cash into a laptop, especially if it’s going to be used in rough conditions. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for deep price drops on portables that swing above their weight class. At retail price, the Asus Vivobook is decent but not anything we’d rave about. Slash $200 off and we’re in a whole different conversation. With a 14″ FHD screen, it’s big enough for comfortable use, and the all-plastic chassis feels surprisingly sturdy. Compare it to our best budget laptops to see how it stacks up. This configuration comes with an Intel I3-1215U processor, 8GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD and Windows 11 Home.

Fossil is best-known as a traditional watchmaker, but they’re adapting to the times with a line of well-received smartwatches. The Gen 6 has all of the features you’d expect in a wearable, including fitness and sleep tracking, multiple selectable faces and phone pairing. Running Google’s Wear OS, it’s simple to use and looks good, and the built-in Alexa voice assistant lets you set timers, interact with smart home devices and more without using your hands. The Snapdragon Wear 4100 Plus chipset delivers blazing speed and responsiveness, and the screen is bright and sharp. We reviewed the Razer-branded version of this watch and said that it “packs loads of communication, entertainment, and fitness functionality into an attractive round case with a physical crown, two buttons, and a classically nubbled bezel.”
