TVs
Right now, you can score the TCL 40-inch Class 3-Series HD Smart TV (40S325) for just $220 on Amazon, down from $300. That’s nearly a 30 percent savings! What makes this TV so special? It features a brilliant 40-inch LED display with Full HD resolution. Simply put, colors are vivid and black levels are dark, instead of murky and dull. Amazon shoppers even love its remote.
“This smart TV has endless viewing capabilities,” raved a five-star Amazon reviewer. “Picture quality is excellent and configurations are user friendly. What my family and I like the most is the TV’s remote. It fits perfectly in all our hands. And you can actually reach every single button with your thumb.”
This 40-inch model is an ideal size for a bedroom or guest room—and a great TV for someone moving into a first apartment.

Tablets
On sale for $559 (was $599), the new Apple iPad Air comes with a large 10.9-inch Retina Display (the standard version and the iPad have a 10.2-inch display) and 64GB of on-board storage and 3GB of memory—so it’s more powerful and speedier than previous models. In just about every way, it’s bigger, faster, sharper and sleeker too. There’s a reason why it’s called an iPad Air: It’s lightweight, coming in at about one pound. It truly hits the sweet spot between power and design.
“I love this iPad,” raved a delighted Amazon shopper. “It’s lightweight, easy to use and the battery is long lasting. After knowing all that it can do, it is very well worth the price. I am very happy with this purchase and it was delivered in a timely manner with no issues.”
It’s available to ship on January 13, but you can pre-order now to lock in this sale price, which is the lowest we’ve see on the new Apple iPad Air.

This is impressive, considering that most wireless headphones tap out after about 30 hours.
“The Beats Solo3 is absolutely the best headset I've ever owned,” raved a delighted five-star shopper. “I've had many headsets over the years to do my job. Now that I'm changing careers and moving into online teaching I need a headset that is of very high-quality sound with the ability to send and receive calls and to be wireless...Beats Solo3 fits the bill. It is exceptionally comfortable to wear for many hours at a time. The battery life is phenomenal.”
