$329 Save $130

Just last week, the ninth generation iPad dropped to a record-low $224 at Amazon. As of Aug. 19, however, that price just dropped even further to only $199. That's a savings of 40% and the first time it has ever hit below $200. While it's not the newest iPad on the market (it's a 2021 model), it's still our favorite tablet for most people. It features the A13 Bionic chip, a 10.2-inch Retina display, and up to 10 hours of battery life that's more than enough to power through basic tasks. I personally own this exact 64GB, WiFi model and my only complaint is that I bought it before it hit this new record-low price.

$399.99 Save $101.99

Some of our favorite headphones on the market, the Sony WH-1000XM5s earned a Mashable Choice award and nearly perfect rating by Mashable's Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern. Besides impeccable sound quality, great noise cancellation, and customizable sound, these headphones also feature a "quick attention" mode that helps you hear boarding announcements or order a beverage on board a flight without shutting off your music completely. You'll also get up to 30 hours of battery life, crisp call clarity, voice assistant support, and comfortable ear cushions. The one drawback is they're a bit bulky and don't fold up into a convenient carrying case, but that's small potatoes. As of Aug. 19, you can snag these babies for only $298 — that's a savings of 25% and matches the lowest price on record.

New to the Echo family, the Amazon Echo Hub is basically the device that's been missing all along. A full-featured control panel and smart hub, the Echo Hub offers instant access to your lights, cameras, switches, doorbell, thermostat, and any other smart device in your home. It's no longer locked inside one person's phone. Anyone can play music, stream videos, ask Alexa questions, dim the lights, adjust the temperature, or view who's at the door at the press of a button. Regularly $179.99, it's on sale for the first time since its release for just $144.99. That's just shy of 20% in savings.

Shine a light on what's going on outside of your home at night with the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight camera. It packs 700 lumens of motion-triggered illumination and crisp HD footage, no matter the time of day. Thanks to two-way audio, you can speak to people (or pets) and get a heads up if the noise you heard outside was an actual intruder or just a noisy squirrel. A Blink subscription plan unlocks even more features, like enhanced motion detection and cloud sharing. It's regularly about $130, but you can save nearly 40% on Aug. 19 and pick one up for just $79.99 — that's just $2 shy of its all-time low.

$49.99 Save $20.00

Small enough to sit on your nightstand, bookshelf, countertop, or desk, the fifth generation Echo Dot is made to seamlessly add smart benefits into your daily routine. It can be used to receive reminders, save recipes, set timers, schedule tasks, communicate with friends and family, light up your room, listen to music, or play some soothing white noise to help you fall asleep. It's essentially like a smaller form version of the baseline Echo, minus the Dolby audio. With the small speaker also comes a smaller price tag. Get the 2022 Echo Dot for only $29.99 as of Aug. 19. That's 40% in savings and just $7 away from its record-low price.
