When you think about productivity on the go, you undoubtedly think about your phone first. But what if you need a larger screen? What if more real estate in general for your portable workspace is what you're looking for? You need a tablet. And if you're considering a tablet that does more than just stream videos and browse the web, the Google Pixel Tablet is a standout choice. It's great for just about any use case, and it's actually a lot more affordable than some of the bigger heavy-hitters out there. In fact, it's on sale right now.
Head to Amazon to get the Google Pixel Tablet for just $299, down from its usual price of $399. That's $100 off and a discount of 25%.

A perfectly portable tablet with everything you need
The Pixel Tablet is built around an 11-inch LCD display, which is big enough to comfortably watch shows, sketch out ideas, or check your email, but still lightweight enough to carry from the living room to the bedroom. Or on your morning commute to the office into the office itself. Underneath its modern design sits Google's Tensor G2 chip, which is the same processor used in their premium Pixel smartphones. That means whether you're hopping between apps, making video calls, or even trying casual gaming, it has the power to keep up without lag.
It's well-integrated with the Google ecosystem already, too. It uses Google Assistant to turn into a smart display whenever you ask. Looking for a morning weather update? Want the news headlines while you get ready? The Pixel Tablet answers. Need to control lights or lock the doors before bed? One voice command is all it takes.
Battery life is another highlight. The Pixel Tablet can easily power through a full day of work, play, or whatever you're up to at the time. It makes short work of anything you have going on, and it still has battery after that. Google also scored high marks with the user interface. Android on a tablet feels intuitive and natural out of the box, with familiar multitasking features like split-screen support and drag-and-drop that make working from multiple apps feel super seamless.
If you're not interested in what Apple or Samsung have on offer but need a tablet in the worst way, consider the Pixel Tablet. For just $299, you really can't pass it up, especially with everything it's capable of doing. Besides, you're worth a tablet upgrade, anyway.

The best Prime Day Apple deals on iPads, MacBooks, AirPods and more
There's a reason Apple gear is so in demand. After reviewing nearly every major device out there, our current favorite laptop, smartwatch, tablet and smartphone are all made by Apple. The only problem is, Apple gear isn't cheap. So it's sometimes wise to wait for an event like Amazon's Prime Day before you buy. This guide rounds up the best Prime Day Apple Deals we could find so far, including some of the lowest prices of the year on iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods and MacBooks. We've also linked to our reviews and buying guides so you can make the most informed purchases possible. Apple Watch SE for $169 (32 percent off): Those on tight budgets can opt for the Apple Watch SE and know they're getting the core Apple wearable experience with few compromises. We consider it to be the best smartwatch for newbies. Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) for $899 ($100 off): We named the iPad Pro the best tablet money can buy. The screen is one of the best we've seen and Apple somehow managed to make the Pro model lighter than Air models. If you plan on handling heavy productivity — video rendering and editing, machine learning apps and the like, this is the way to go. Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M4) for $1,099 ($200 off): The larger iPad pro is the ultimate laptop replacer. The M4 chip is faster than many computers out there but the thin and light design makes it super portable. The battery life will last through a whole day of work and more (we clocked over 10 hours of use in our review) and the screen is brilliant. Our only real complaint is the price, and this Prime Day helps at least a little. Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro) for $399 ($100 off): Apple's smallest iPad earned an 83 review score from us when it came out late last year. Despite its compact size, it's still a fully-featured iPad, with support for accessories and a laminated, anti-reflective screen. It's not a laptop-replacer, but rather the perfect couch companion, handling games, video, web browsing and email triage. MacBook Air (M4, 15-inch) for $1,049 ($150 off): If you want a little more screen real estate, go for the 15-inch Air. Devindra found the screen more immersive than the smaller model, and only slightly less portable. The slightly larger battery gave it a few more minutes of life. Whichever size you go for, the MacBook Air will be able to handle all but the most demanding rendering tasks without breaking a sweat. MacBook Air (15-inch, M3, 24GB RAM) for $1,249 ($450 off): This higher-specced version of the M3 MacBook Air from last year has a 15-inch screen and a little extra internal memory. We gave the 15-inch model a score of 90 in our review when it came out in early 2024. Outside of its older M3 chip (which is still plenty fast for everyday use), marginally improved camera and inability to power two external displays with the lid open, this MacBook is virtually identical to the M4 version. AirPods Max (USB-C) for $480 ($69 off): Apple's only over-ear headphones are due for an update. The company outfitted the AirPods Max with a USB-C port late last year, but the internals haven't had an overhaul since 2020. Still, we named them the best (and only) over-earn AirPods. They are comfortable and relatively lightweight, have a balanced sound and the noise cancellation is solid. Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): Apple announced the Pro version of its pencil at the same time as the iPad Pro with the M4 chip. It adds haptic feedback, squeeze gestures and roll capabilities to the usual stylus tricks. It works with the newest iPad Pro, Air and Mini models.

3 Reasons This Millennial Isn't Buying a Home — What They're Doing Instead
Homeownership is the big dream for many, but one millennial has other plans. McKenzie Mack, 29-year-old personal finance influencer who wants to retire in her 40s, shared three reasons she isn't buying a home, at least not right now. Learn More: Read Next: Not owning a home gives Mack flexibility to leave her current living space and move or downsize whenever she needs to. She points out a volatile job market where layoffs are common and values the ability to pack up and move to a new job without worrying about selling a house. Licensed realtor Omer Reiner echoes the sentiment, saying, 'timing is everything. If you aren't sure that the city where you work is someplace you want to stay for a good while, don't take on the expense, maintenance and possible association fees you would have to handle as a homeowner.' For Mack, homeownership means most likely living in the suburbs — away from activity. With renting, she's in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Her ideal type of lifestyle includes a neighborhood where walking and biking are the norm. Plus, for her, renting saves money. She highlights their current rent of $2,800. A mortgage in the same area would put them at $6,000 a month, she said. 'If taxes and maintenance are going to lead to high costs, then purchasing the home may not make much sense,' says Mark Charnet, founder & CEO of American Prosperity Group. Whether it's a new roof or water heater, the hidden cost of owning a home can rapidly add up. Mack would rather use that money on investments while she's younger instead of putting all of her extra money into a house. 'Home ownership carries constant expenses in the form of roof work, HVAC system replacements, or unplanned plumbing problems, ' says Founder and CEO of Fire Damage House Buyer, Daniel Cabrera. 'To those with an inadequate emergency fund, these can be economically crippling.'
