The 5 Most Egg-Cellent Easter Weekend Tech Deals: Acer, JBL, Roku, & More

There’s no denying the good news: it’s the weekend (finally). The Monday-Friday grind is feeling longer than ever these days, so we’re elated to celebrate the end of a long week testing all the latest tech with five can’t-miss deals on some of our favorites. This roundup always brings you bargains of up to 50% off, and there’s some hot stuff on offer right now from big retailers, including surprisingly great mid-priced TVs, AI-powered laptops, speakers and more. Shop in peace, friends.

Have a lot of TVs and not a lot of time to program in all of your streaming service passwords? The Fire TV Stick 4K is the answer. This handy plug-and-play device lets you load in your user information, connect to Wi-Fi and plug it in to any HDMI-compatible display to get at all your shows and movies with no hassle. We gave an Editors’ Choice award to this model in our review, praising its new support for Wi-Fi 6 and faster performance overall, including through Alexa voice commands. Right now Amazon has it on sale for 40% off.

Roku’s Plus series is the company’s first crack at the midrange all-in-one TV market, and we gave it an “Excellent” rating in our 2023 review, noting that the screen was far better than competing products in the same bracket, with nice brightness, contrast and color quality combined with a simple and elegant design and plenty of ports. While it doesn’t push the envelope in terms of performance, this Best Buy discount puts it down to a very attractive price point, and the built-in Roku TV streaming platform is easy to use and robust. Plus you get the Roku City backdrop, which is worth a hundred bucks all on it’s own.

As the weather gets nice, you’re going to want to take your music on the go. Right now Amazon has a 25% discount on the power-packed JBL Go 3 portable speaker. In our 2020 review, we had a lot of good things to say about this pocket-sized speaker, noting that despite its small size it delivered rich, crisp audio at good volumes, along with full waterproofing so you don’t have to worry about April showers. You get up to five hours of playtime on a single battery charge, which isn’t a lot, but it’s quick to charge.

There are numerous laptops hitting shelves with redesigned hardware to boost the Copilot AI features in Windows 11, and the Acer Swift 16 is one of the best of the bunch. We gave it an “Excellent” rating in our recent review, with special praise going to the gorgeous 3K OLED screen, all-metal build, robust component loadout and long battery life, which exceeded 20 hours on a single charge in our tests. This is a Best Buy-exclusive model and comes with a free padded travel sleeve to protect your investment, all at a 36% discount off retail.

It’s not the biggest gaming monitor on the market, but in terms of quality it’s a solid pick, especially at half off retail price. Acer makes reliable OLED screens, and this one has everything a dedicated gamer would want, from a ridiculously fast 240Hz refresh rate that works with AMD FreeSync to work in lockstep with your graphics card, crisp and colorful WQHD resolution, and a massive selection of ports including USB 3.1 for up to 5Gbps of data, along with DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. See how it clocks in on our list of the best gaming monitors.
