Today’s best deals: Nintendo Switch Lite, Fully standing desks, and more
Ars Technica

The time has come for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a modest but notable discount on the Nintendo Switch Lite at Amazon subsidiary Woot. It’s just $10 off, and you’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member to access the deal, but since the console hardly ever receives any kind of discount, the offer is worth noting for anyone who is in the market for the console in the first place. If that includes you, Woot says the deal will be available for today only, and you’ll need to log in to Woot with your Amazon account to see the discount at checkout.

As a refresher, the Switch Lite is the smaller, portable-only version of Nintendo’s console: its 5.5-inch LCD display isn’t as big or vibrant as that of the newer Switch OLED, and it can’t be docked to a TV for use on a bigger screen. But it’s just as powerful, so it works with the same library of games, and it’s naturally easier to take on the road. The Switch Lite is still well-built, too, with a genuine d-pad and slightly softer face buttons that also make less noise when pressed. Most importantly, it’s less expensive; here, it’s marked down to $190 compared to the $300 Switch and $350 Switch OLED.

If you don’t need any new video game hardware, the Dealmaster also has a sale on Fully’s Jarvis line of electric standing desks, which we’ve previously recommended in our guide to good home office gear. A number of Jarvis configurations are currently 15 percent off at Amazon and Fully’s own online store. The desks still aren’t all that cheap, and they’re generally on the heavy side, but they continue to offer high-quality builds, an appreciable range of customizations, and long warranties of five years on desktop surfaces and 15 years on desk frame components.

Elsewhere, our roundup includes the lowest price we’ve tracked on the 256GB version of Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad, a rare discount on monthly Paramount Plus subscriptions for new and returning users, deals on AMD Ryzen processors, Bose noise-canceling headphones, Logitech wireless gaming mice, and much more. You can check out our full curated list of deals below.

Featured deals of the day

The Nintendo Switch Lite is just as powerful as the standard Switch and Switch OLED, but it's more affordable and compact. The trade-off is that it can't be docked to play on a TV or larger display.

Electronics deals

The $159 Smart Keyboard and $99 Apple Pencil add quite a bit to the iPad's $329 starting price, but they help you get a little more productivity out of the tablet.
