The latest iPad Mini is back at Cyber Monday-level pricing, offering the best deal possible for Apple’s most compact tablet. Walmart has it on sale today for $100 off, clocking in at $299 and matching the lowest price we’ve seen for one of the most powerful small-format tablets on the market. The 64GB Wi-Fi model is perfect for casual reading, consuming content, controlling smart home functions, or just browsing the web on the couch on a nice 7.9-inch screen. Apple is expected to release a new model this fall, but here’s a prime opportunity to save on the current version right now. Read our review.

Yesterday saw the Steam release of Tetris Effect: Connected on PC, and if you plan on jumping in, it’s available for 25 percent off through September 1st.

If you seek a high-performing Wi-Fi 6 router — sans the arachnid-like aesthetic that gives the impression your desk has been invaded by a Decepticon — Costco is currently offering a members-only deal on the Netgear Nighthawk AX6200. The wholesale retailer is selling the router for $100 off, bringing the price down to $200 through August 29th. In addition to its Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, which allows for speeds of up to 6.2Gbps, it has six antennas, beamforming, four LAN ports, and a USB 3.0 port. It’s a solid option if speed is your priority and your space does not call for a mesh network.
