The week leading up to Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day proved to be a boon for tech sales across the web. A bunch of Apple products saw deep discounts including the AirPods Pro and the latest iMac. Amazon knocked down the prices of most of its Fire tablets and you can still get the Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite for less, too. Plus, Best Buy’s Presidents’ Day sale has just kicked off, bringing a slew of new sales to consider from now through Monday. Here are the best deals we found this week that you can still get today.

Pretty smartwatches are no longer novel (thankfully), but that doesn’t mean we can’t welcome more attractive options. Garmin unveiled its latest wearable today, calling the Lily the “small and fashionable smartwatch women have been waiting for.” I’m not fully convinced the device lives up to that claim (and I don’t like ascribing preferences based on gender), but from a sample I’ve tried for a few days, I can say it is indeed very small.
The Lily’s bands are just 14mm wide, which is noticeably thinner than 20mm and 24mm versions on most other smartwatches. Its 34mm round case, though, is about the same height as an Apple Watch SE (40mm model). In fact, at 10.15mm thick the Lily’s case is ever so slightly thinner than the Watch SE (10.7mm) but we’re splitting hairs here.

The Galaxy S21 is expected to be a subtler upgrade than the Galaxy S20 was last year, but that could still make it a compelling phone. It will reportedly use Qualcomm’s nimble Snapdragon 888 chipset in North America (Exynos 2100 in other markets), more efficient displays that could help battery life, and gain some new, mostly software-based camera tricks. The S21 Ultra should include S Pen support. And you might even see lower prices you might not have to

We’ll admit, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect when we agreed to judge the annual Best of CES Awards without an in-person show. How many companies would show up to an online-only show? What would we lose without being able to wander the halls of a massive convention center and see the products up close? As it turns out, we needn’t have worried. More than 1,900 brands, big and small, turned up this year, according to the Consumer Technology Association, the industry group that organizes the show each year. What’s more, many companies found socially distant ways to show us their latest and greatest in person, ahead of the show. (That’s especially useful for the TV category, wouldn’t you say?)
