Today’s best deals: Google Pixel, Surface Pro 8, Amazon Kindle, and more
Ars Technica

It’s time for another mid-week Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a new low on Google’s Pixel 6a smartphone. Priced $100 less than its original selling price, the $349 Pixel 6a delivers flagship performance in an already value-stuffed package. Using the same SoC as the Pixel 6 Pro, the Pixel 6a roared through benchmarks in our testing and offered the same competent photography we’ve come to expect from Pixel phones. The Pixel 7 is set to be announced tomorrow, but that device will likely cost more than double the 6a’s current price, and the 7a is a bit farther off, with the line typically launched in spring.

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4 are also on sale for record lows. In our review, we called the Pro 8 “the best version of [the tablet first, laptop second] that you can get.” It showed laptop-class performance in a form factor that continues to improve its usability with a bigger screen, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and replaceable SSDs. The midrange i5 Core Intel Evo variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is down from $1,000 to $865 at Amazon. You can also snag one from Best Buy with a TypeCover for $1,000, saving you about $20 on the separately sold accessory, on top of the noted discount.

Elsewhere around the web, we have discounts on our favorite 4K streaming stick, Google’s Chromecast with Google TV ($40 $50); one of our top picks for an activity-tracking smartwatch, the Garmin Venu Sq ($149 $200); and continued price cuts on last year’s 13-inch MacBook Pro and LG’s C2 4K OLED TV, among many others. You can check out our full curated list of deals below.
