As Cyber Week hums along, we’re seeing some fantastic Cyber Week Deals, on everything from the hottest computers to the most useful smart home appliances. When it comes to laptops, there are incredible Cyber Week laptop deals, and as we drill down, even some very impressive Cyber Week Chromebook deals. In fact, right now, you can

save $71

at Walmart on this 14-inch Asus C423 Chromebook. It’s down to $199 from its regular price of $270. That’s an absolute cyber steal.

The Asus C423 is a Chromebook that both looks impressive, and acts accordingly, especially for the price, and that goes double when $101 dollars has been knocked off that price. We love how slim the aluminum-finished casing appears on this Chromebook — giving the look of a sleek, sexy, contemporary laptop. Nothing about its appearance says “inexpensive.” Nor the screen for that matter. Normally, Chromebooks are saddles with hugely wide borders surrounding the screen; not with the Asus C423. Its design boasts a NanoEdge display, giving you the maximum surface on which to work, play, or enjoy your favorite content. Not only does it have that 80% screen-to-body ratio, the display offers 1,366×768 HD resolution in its pixels, so your images will be as crisp, clean, and precise as can be (especially with anti-glare coating)

Once we go under the hood, this little wolverine of a machine does not disappoint. Its processor is a by an Intel Celeron N3350 processor, common in Chromebooks, and more than satisfying everyday tasks. This Chromebook’s 4GB of RAM and 64 GB storage aren’t going to blow anyone’s hair back, but this kind of power and storage are going to take you wherever you want to go in terms of casual computing. Working on presentations or homework, light gaming, watching Netflix, acting as a home or personal computer — you’re covered. We like the connectivity, too. There are plenty of ports, including USB Type-C which is the key to fast data transfer speeds and charging speed (this one doubles as a charging port). The 10 hours of battery life is nothing to sniff at either.

Not yet sold? We’re seeing a vast range of Chromebooks throughout the Cyber Week Chromebook deals, so you have plenty of options. But right now, you can

save $71

on this Acer C423 Chromebook. It’s only $199, down from $270 at Walmart.

Power or electricity is one of those things that's really easy to take for granted. Then, one big wind or snowstorm rolls in, and the power goes down, and before you know it, you're groveling for just a little more illumination or battery life. But with the right planning, you can be ready for these occasions with a portable power station. Right now is the perfect time to take that leap, thanks to Anker's current Black Friday sale. It drops the price of Anker's SOLIX C1000, a 1,056-watt-hour capacity power station, to $649, instead of $999 -- saving you $350. If you want smart backup and portable power strike while the iron's hot.

Why you should buy the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station
The Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station offers a 1,056-watt-hour capacity and 1,800 watts of output. It has 11 ports in total, including AC, DC, and USB. Plus, you can double its capacity to 2,112 watt-hours with an expansion battery or recharge it quickly in just 58 minutes while using the UltraFast Mode in Anker's mobile app. Yes, that also means it offers mobile app connectivity and controls.

But what is it? It can be used as a versatile portable power station, whether to get power on the spot -- like when you're off-grid -- or to use as a backup like a UPS, with a less than 20ms switchover in an outage. It even supports up to 600 watts of solar input, so you can connect solar panels and charge them using the sun's fully available energy. Renewable energy truly gets you off the power grid if that's something you're looking to achieve.

Amazon Fire 7 -- $40, was $60

If you want what's arguably the cheapest tablet that's still worth your money, you want a Fire tablet. The Amazon Fire 7 is the cheapest of Amazon's cheap tablets. It's not going to set the world on fire in terms of performance or display quality, but it gives you easy access to tons of apps, you can watch videos and browse the web on it, and -- of course -- it's fine for reading books and magazines. It's not a bad little device to consider getting if you have a Prime account, as it'll let you take full advantage of your membership benefits. If you can up your budget just a bit, though, then the Fire HD 8 might be a better buy.
