Google

Pixelbook — One of the nicest — and priciest — Chromebooks available gets a $300 price chop for the holidays. At $700, it’s still expensive, but its’ high-quality build, two-in-one design with a pen-enabled touch display and speedy performance are worth it. Perfect for folks who are on the move and going places — especially college!

Home Max — The speaker that packs a punch! Inside the Home Max are two 4.5-inch woofers and two 0-.7-inch tweeters, and altogether it produces a hell of a sound: deep, bassy and clean. While the standard Google Home can also pump up the volume pretty high, the Max doesn’t suffer from distortion like its siblings when things get louder. Get $50 off the standard price starting on November 22nd!

Roku

Roku TV Wireless Speakers — Introducing the first line of speakers designed exclusively for Roku TV™. The speakers come as a stereo pair, each standing about 6 inches tall — and the only wires you need to worry about are the power cord for each one.

The speakers will be available for $150 from Sunday Nov. 18 through Cyber Monday, Nov. 26, at Roku.com

Roku Stick — Use it at home or on-the-go. This portable, power-packed player comes with a voice remote with TV power and volume buttons. Great for homes with wall-mounted TVs as well as folks who travel a lot or live in dorms. It’s also a great price point at just $29.99 (after you save $20 with their Black Friday Special).

Sonos

And now it works with Apple AirPlay 2 along with support for Google Assistant slated to come next year. The latest addition to the Sonos one line marries sound and color with the HAY Sonos One Limited Edition Collection, featuring five new colors hand-selected from HAY’s 2018 palette.
