ONKYO HT-S3500 5.1-Channel Home Theater System
Store: Best Buy
Deal: $239; Originally $399
Turn your living room into a true home theater with Onkyo's all-in-one six-speaker system (five speakers, one sub woofer). Four HDMI inputs allow you to plug in whatever devices you have (DVD, Xbox 360, PS3), while the front-facing USB port lets you play music off your iPhone/iPad/iPod.
Creative Labs EP-630i In-Ear Headphones
Store: Tiger Direct
Deal: $18; Originally $50
These headphone sound better than whichever ones came with your smartphone or MP3 player and cost less than if you were to buy those headphones separately.
Dyson AM04 Fan Heater
Store: Dyson
Deal: $300; Originally $400
Seeing as how cuffing season is in full effect, you're going to need something to supplement that warmth of your new-found boo. As far as space heaters go, it doesn't get much cooler than Dyson's AM04 Fan Heater. Able to heat smaller rooms in the winter, it can also cool you down when spring and summer roll around.
Canon PowerShot Elph 530 HS
Store: Sears
Deal: $220; Originally $330
Canon's entry-level compact camera is great for those who want a slight step-up from their smartphones. Able to capture 1080p videos and take high-quality images thanks to its 10.1 megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, it's a little wonder. The ELPH 530 also has built-in WiFi so you can easily share your images with friends or print 'em with WiFi-enabled printers.
Samsung 24" LED Backlit Monitor
Store: Tiger Direct
Deal: $180; Originall $360
Samsung's computer monitors are as good as its HDTVs. So you should know that spending $180 on 1920x1080 24-inch model with LED backlighting is a steal.
Lenovo IdeaPad Y400
Store: Lenovo
Deal: $839; Originally $1,350
Lenovo says its IdeaPad Y400 is for serious gamers. Probably because they're the only ones that won't mind buying a laptop that's as heavy as an iMac. But with a 2.5 GHz Core i5 dual-core processor, 8GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD, and a GeForce GT 650M graphics card, this beast would be great for any video and image editors.
HP ENVY Touch-Screen 14" Notebook
Store: Best Buy
Deal: $550; Originally $800
HP's Ultrabook comes stacked with features: a 500GB hard drive, Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of memory, and a 14-inch touchscreen that will work perfectly with Windows 8. There's also a backlit keyboard for when you're burning the midnight oil during finals.
Creative Labs D100 Bluetooth Speaker
Store: Tiger Direct
Deal: $50; Originally $80
Speaker docks are out. Bluetooth speakers are in. Weather you're using your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, the Creative D100 speaker's two powerful three-inch drivers will make your music bump. And you can take it with you anywhere because it runs for 25 hours on four AA batteries.
Monster iSport In-Ear Headphones
Store: Tiger Direct
Deal: $80; Originally $100
Stop using your regular earbuds when you go to the gym. They slip out, aren't waterproof, and probably sound weak when you're on the treadmill. Upgrade to the Monster iSports. The Monster name is synonymous with great sound, so you know they'll bump. They're also made to not slip out of your ear when things get sweaty. And they're waterproof so you can clean them once you're done.
Linksys WRT120N Wireless Router
Store: Walmart
Deal: $20; Originally $80
If you asked us which brands you should consider when buying a new wireless router, our short list would include Linksys. This high-speed router connects to 802.11 b/g/n and produces throughput up to 150Mbps. Also, it's only $20. You won't find a better deal on a router.
JVC 32" LCD HDTV
Store: Walmart
Deal: $199; Originally $330
This JVC HDTV isn't the most up-to-date model you can buy; hell it doesn't even have a 1080p resolution. But it costs the same as a new 16GB iPhone 5 (with a two-year contract). If you have a little brother or sister that wants a new TV, we're sure they won't mind rocking with 720p.
Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T)
Store: Amazon
Deal: $25 (with two-year contract); Originally $200
We've said it before, and we'll say it again. The Galaxy S III should be on your very short list of smartphones if you're in the market for a new one. Fast, light, and thin, it's a steal at the scant $24 Amazon is briefly asking for it.
HP ENVY 23 TouchSmart All-in-One
Store: HP
Deal: $975; Originally $1,300
This is the desktop version of the HP notebook you saw earlier on this list. Though, as you can imagine, this all-in-one desktop is a tick more powerful. Sporting an Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, 8GB or RAM, and a 2TB hard drive, it can pretty much handle whatever you throw its way. Oh, and it also has a built-in touchscreen so it should work seamlessly with Windows 8.
Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse
Store: Best Buy
Deal: $20; Originally $60
The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse has been one of our favorite portable mice since it debuted last year. Able to snap flat for easy storage, it's so comfortable, it could also be used as a desktop mouse.
SanDisk Cruzer Switch 32GB USB Flash Drive
Store: Best Buy
Deal: $13; Originally $50
Having all your files in the cloud is great, but having them on you when you need them is even better. SanDisk's Cruzer USB flash drives lets you do that with models that range from 8GB to 32GB. We say opt for the 32GB as it will only run you $13.
