Have you ever wanted to own the kind of tablet that serves double-duty as a user-friendly notebook? Well, dream no more, friend, as Amazon has marked down its amazing Kindle Scribe as part of its Prime Day tablet deals: While this sale lasts, you’ll be able to purchase the Kindle Scribe for $260. At full price, you’d be spending $370, which is a $110 discount for those keeping score. Part tablet, part e-reader, the Kindle Scribe can do it all, and it does it all well!

Why you should buy the Kindle Scribe

Just to be clear: This is the 16GB version of the Kindle Scribe with a Premium Pen and no Kindle Unlimited plan.

One of our favorite parts of the Kindle Scribe is its note-taking capabilities, which may sound pretty obvious for this type of tablet, but we’ve truly never experienced stylus haptics like this! All writing motions and gestures feel smooth, and it responds without hesitation, to the point where you’ll forget you’re even using a tablet!

At 10.2 inches wide, the Scribe screen delivers exceptional picture and responsive commands when used as both a tablet or an e-reader (check out our other best Kindle deals roundup!). When opting for the latter, you’ll be pleased with how clear and detailed the E Ink display can be. This is particularly useful when it comes time to scroll through a PDF document you’ve marked up.

You can also expect plenty of battery life from this bad boy: On a full charge, Amazon claims you’ll get weeks of usage before you need to plug the Scribe in. So whether you’re using it every day or once in a while, the Scribe will be ready!

We’re not sure exactly how long this deal will last, so we’d recommend taking advantage while you still can. Save $110 when you purchase the Kindle Scribe and take advantage of the Prime Day deals that keep on giving!

This portable solar generator and panel combo is 25% off at Amazon

The Marbero M82 Max solar generator with its solar panel, charging a phone.

The Marbero M82 Max, a portable power station that's also a solar generator with its own solar panel, is currently the top seller in Amazon's outdoor generators category. That's probably because you can get it for a fantastic price of only $150, following a 25% discount on its original price of $200, making it a cheaper alternative to the Jackery Explorer 300. The $50 in savings is probably drawing the attention of a lot of shoppers, so if you want to take advantage of this limited-time deal, we highly recommend proceeding with the purchase right now as the offer may no longer be there tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Marbero M82 Max solar generator
You should always be ready with a portable power station in case there's an electricity outage in your home, or if you suddenly find yourself on an outdoor adventure where outlets won't be readily available. The Marbero M82 Max is an excellent option for these situations, as it will be able to power and charge all kinds of devices with its 30,000 mAh capacity. There are three ways to recharge the Marbero M82 Max -- plug it into a wall socket, connect it to your car's lighter outlet, or harness the power of the sun with the included 30W solar panel that comes with a built-in smart chip to prevent overloading.

The HP Spectre x360 14 has a $350 price cut today

HP Spectre x360 14 2023 front angled view showing display and keyboard.

We absolutely loved the HP Spectre x360 14 when we reviewed it earlier this year, and it’s enjoying a $350 price cut at HP right now as part of the continuing back to school laptop sales. Normally priced at $1,850, it’s down to $1,500 for a limited time when you buy directly from HP. It’s always good to see a discount on a laptop that we love, making it an easy recommendation to make. For anyone seeking a stylish 2-in-1 laptop that’s also a fantastic price, this is one of the best laptop deals we’ve seen in recent times. Have a read below while we break down everything it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1
As our HP Spectre x360 review explains, we utterly adored it. The model we checked out there is the same one that's on sale so we can confidently stand by that 4.5 out of 5 star review. We only had two criticisms -- that there’s no discrete GPU option and that it’s a bit expensive. The latter is less of an issue now, due to the sale price, but gamers will still need to look elsewhere.
