Today’s deal over at Amazon is on a great little Chromebook.  The Asus C201 has an 11.6″ display, 4GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and is currently down to $159.99 for the Navy Blue model.  Equally as important, when the Chrome OS 53 build is made public, the C201 is going to be able to take full advantage of it and run Android apps.  That makes this deal a bit sweeter.

The C201 is powered by the Rockchip rk3288 processor that runs at 1.8GHz and the 11.6″ display renders at 1366×768 and is an LED display.  Like most other Chromebooks, you have 3 USB ports (2x USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0), an HDMI port, a SD Card Reader and a 3.5mm headphone jack.  Overall, a solid package.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is on the Anker PowerCore 5000.  This 5000 mAh battery is designed to give most phones at least one full charge, with some getting two, all in a compact design.  Right now the PowerCore 5000 is on sale at Amazon for $14.39.  That is a savings of 71% over the regular price.  With that price, you get the external battery pack itself which is in a slim, cylindrical design, a MicroUSB cable and a travel pouch.  This charger is the battery pack my wife has used for years (she has the 4000 mAh model as it is a few years old) and it has been rock solid in durability and performance.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great and inexpensive external battery pack to charge your phone.  The iXCC 3400mAH slim battery pack is designed to charge your device one full charge, fits easily into a pocket or handbag and is just $10 today on the site.  The pack is a slim design that measures 3.8″ long and weighs just 3.8 ounces so it isn’t going to take up a lot of room.  It has a single USB 2.0 charging port to charge your device and it is compatible with virtually any device.  Obviously if your battery is bigger than a 3400mAH rating you won’t get a full charge on your phone but you can get it a long way towards it when you are in that desperate mode to get charged up before your phone dies (and we have all been there at least once in our life).

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great one if you are looking for a charging dock for your USB Type-C devices.  Right now you can pick up the Archeer USB C Charging Dock for just $11, a savings of 72% off the normal $27.95 price.  The stand is designed to hold your Android phone charge it thanks to a connection on the back for a standard MicroUSB connector which you plug into an electrical source.  This won’t give you fast charging but, as it is designed to sit on your desk, fast charging may not be as big a deal for you.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great one for those of you who are looking for a solid performing 11″ Chromebook.  The HP Chromebook 11 G4 is down to $174.89 at Amazon and that is for the 4GB of RAM model with 16GB of storage.  I reviewed this Chromebook back in February and it remains my day-to-day Chromebook.  I have to say it is one of the best 11″ Chromebooks I have had the privileged to test and review. It’s performance is solid, the keyboard is smooth and responsive, as is the trackpad. I found the display to be very good for an 11″ device while the battery life, for some, will be lacking. All that said though, with a price of $200 for the 4GB, 16GB of storage model on Amazon, it is hard to beat. I have no hesitation in recommending it for the vast majority of readers.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great one if you are needing to pick up an external power pack for your devices.  Today you can pick up the Anker PowerCore 10000 for $18.69, a savings of over 63% off the regular $49 price tag.  As the name suggests, this power pack has a 10,000 mAh battery in it so you can easily charge most devices three times before having to recharge it.  It has a single USB-A connector so you can use it with really anything out there:  MicroUSB, USB-C (A to C cable) and an Apple Lightening cable.  It is designed to work with any device and get you powered up and going again.  It also is in a small package.  This pack is slightly larger than a credit card so you won’t have a big, bulky battery to carry around with you.
