Laptops
The social distancing restrictions of the past two years helped to usher in a new era of remote working with many Americans now able to work from home, or even further afield. But if you are planning on taking the office with you this summer you should make sure that you have the right equipment.
Here’s some great deals on laptops to get you working on the move:

Smartphones
Although Amazon dominates the field of online technology retail, one area where it has less of a firm grasp of the market is in smartphones. Most people shopping for a smartphone tend to do so as part of a fixed-cost contract which spreads the expense out across a number of years, and typically includes free data and calling minutes.
However there are some discounted smartphones available on Amazon, if you want to buy a new device outright:
- Google Pixel 6 Pro - $699, a saving of $200
- Motorola One 5G Ace - $239.99, a saving of $160
- Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G - $469.98, a saving of $430
