Starting at $479, the 256GB version of the 9th generation iPad is discounted to $399 at Walmart, the best price yet. Although this iPad uses the A13 Bionic CPU instead of the faster M1 found in other models, it still has more than enough power for any application. And its 10.2-inch display with a resolution of 2160 x 1620 looks great. A key selling point may be its 3.5mm audio jack, depending on the person. Rumor has it that Apple’s next entry-level iPad may ditch the headphone jack altogether, though we won’t know for sure until Apple shows it off.

Apple’s latest entry-level iPad represents a slight upgrade, with a new A13 Bionic chip and a 12MP front-facing camera that supports Apple’s Center Stage feature.
Even without a beefy graphics card, the Asus ROG Flow X13 is a pretty decent laptop for gaming and other tasks. Regularly priced at $1,599.99, Best Buy has marked the Flow X13 down to $1,299.99, the lowest price ever for this 2-in-1 convertible.
The 13.4-inch Flow X13 features a 1920 x 1200 display with a 120Hz refresh rate. In particular, it has a 16:10 aspect ratio screen, so you can see more content on the screen at once. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, which is up there with AMD’s best mobile CPU. The RTX 3050 Ti graphics card will reach its limits if you try to play demanding titles at high graphics settings, but it should offer a solid gaming experience with expectations under control. Asus makes an external GPU for the X13 that houses an RTX 3080 that can dramatically improve this laptop’s performance, but costs about the same as the laptop itself. Read our review of the 2021 model of the Flow X13.

While you can buy this 13-inch 2-in-1 laptop along with an external graphics card amp for $3,000, it’s a great value on its own if you want to do some casual gaming.
Office Depot is taking $20 off select Logitech accessories when you use the code SELFMADETECH at checkout. This promotion includes the Logitech MX Keys and MX Keys Mini keyboards, as well as the Logitech MX Vertical and Signature M650 wireless mouse. This isn’t a massive discount, but this Logitech gear rarely sees any sort of price drop. I’m going to go over some of my favorite picks.
The MX Keys series of keyboards looks similar to Apple’s Magic Keyboard, powered by low-profile scissor switches and backlit keys. Both models can connect to devices via Bluetooth or via the included 2.4GHz wireless dongle. With code used at checkout, the full-size MX Keys model with numeric keypad is discounted to $99.99 (regularly $119.99), while the MX Keys Mini with its 60 percent design is for $79.99 (regularly $99.99).

One of the picks for our back-to-school gift guide, the Logitech Signature M650 is a handy wireless mouse that’s available in a variety of fun colors.

The Logitech Signature M650 is an ambidextrous wireless mouse powered by a single AA battery and can last up to 24 months without needing a new one. The M650 features a typical five-button design, features a 4,000 DPI sensor, and can pair with devices using Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz wireless connections.
The ergonomically designed Logitech MX Vertical may look a little strange at first glance, but it can be incredibly useful for anyone who suffers from repetitive stress. The MX Vertical recharges via USB-C and can last up to four months on a single charge.
