$499.00 Save $119.01

As of Aug. 29, Apple's sixth generation iPad Mini is back down to its record-low Prime Day price of $379.99 — a savings of 24%. It comes as no surprise that we're seeing the price on the 2021 device drop with the rumored iPad mini 7 expected to launch soon. When it debuted, Mashable's Stan Schroeder called it "the best iPad if you want a small iPad" and "a better deal than the iPad Air," crediting the sleek new design, camera upgrade, speed, stereo speakers, and practical Touch ID. While it could certainly use a chip upgrade, it's still an excellent device in 2024 — especially at this price.

The second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar improves upon the already fantastic design of its first iteration, which Mashable tech reporter Raymond Wong said "hits the sweet spot on price, design, sound quality, and features." Upgrades include a new grill, better processor, and Dolby Atmos compatibility on top of is already excellent audio quality and convenient voice assistant support. It's our favorite soundbar to pair with your TV, although it's important to note that it does not support Bluetooth and is a little more limited for Android users. As of Aug. 29, the Beam Gen 2 is on sale for just $399 at Amazon — that's 20% in savings and matches its all-time low.

While it's not the fanciest TV on the market by any means, Amazon's 2-Series Fire TV is a great choice for those seeking a no-frills smart TV on a tight budget. As of Aug. 29, the 40-inch version is down to just $159.99 for Prime members when you use the code 40PRIME at checkout. That's a savings of $90 and just $10 away from its lowest price on record. It doesn't support 4K resolution (check out the 4-Series or Omni Series for that feature), but it does offer all the smart capabilities from the Fire TV experience, hands-free control via on-board Alexa, and support for HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Audio.
