Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)

We gave the second-generation Nest Hub 4 out of 5 stars in our review. If you want an excellent addition (or start) to a smart home it’s hard to wrong with the Nest Hub.

SK Hynix Gold S31 1TB SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD
SK Hynix
From: Amazon
Was: $135
Now: $95 ($40 off); $75 ($60 off) for Amazon Prime Subscribers
An excellent drive available at its all-time low on Cyber Monday. SK Hynix is one of the biggest semiconductor manufacturers in the world, and for a long time it was content to have its components in drives from other companies. In recent years, however, its started rolling out its own branded drives in addition to its traditional role as a supplier. We named the Gold S31 our favorite SSD for most people and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review.

Apple
From: Walmart
Was: $430 (44mm)/$400 (40mm)
Now: $330/$300 ($100 off)
The Apple Watch Series 7 is here, and for Cyber Monday it looks like retailers are clearing out their excess stock of older (but still stellar). These are the best prices yet that we’ve seen on the Apple Watch Series 6. No surprise, these deals are going fast, so your colors of choice may not be available. We gave the Series 6 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editors’ Choice Award. It has everything you need in a smartwatch: a wide range of apps, tons of features including ECG and Sp02 sensors, fall detection, GPS, and an always-on retina display. Right now you can get it at a simply excellent price.

It has a refresh rate that maxes out at 75Hz, making it an entry-level high refresh rate monitor for gaming, but with AMD FreeSync onboard for buttery smooth gameplay this monitor will provide plenty of top notch visual candy.
