The iPad comes in four colors so you can chose which one you like the best. It also makes for a great tablet for you kids. In Scott Stein review of this new iPad mini he claims "In the meantime, anyone hoping for a not-too-expensive iPad for kids might consider the Mini for its relative updates and slightly lower cost than the Airs… but it's still not super-affordable enough to replace the basic iPad." But now the iPad just got a $100 price cut on Amazon, bringing the price down to $399, a record low. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Many of us, including myself, are planning on having barbecues and outdoor gatherings during the holiday weekend. If you're planning to do so, you'll want to make sure you're grill is still in good condition from last summer. If not, we love pellet grills. Specifically the Traeger Ironwood XL pellet grill. A pellet grill is a great option if you're looking to upgrade your grilling setup as it lets you bring in the rich flavor of the charcoal while still being operated by the convenience of gas. We specifically love the Traeger Ironwood XL pellet grill as it has a mobile app for wireless adjustments, it produces even smoke by the lid seal and it has a light on the lid and pellet hopper. The grill burns through the pellets pretty slowly so you can get a lot of use out of it. Normally running for $1,900 you can grab one for $1,800 right now, saving you $100 and dropping it down to the lowest price of the year. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathers the best deals for you.
