I’ve never had a reason to use Noco’s Boost GB40 jump starter that I bought years ago — until today. I knew the $99.95 12-volt battery would come in handy at some point, but it saved me $65 on a parking ticket. It’s not discounted for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, yet I think it’s easily worth the full cost. It can jump start six-liter gas engines or three-liter diesel engines up to 20 times per charge.

We once hailed Keychron’s V1 as the best wired keyboard for most folks, and now the step-up wireless version — which you connect to your computer using either Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB dongle — is on sale at Amazon for $84.99 ($30 off). That’s the second-best price we’ve seen on the lovely, 75 percent board.

Most tech is so serious, which is why I welcome the trend of USB-C wall adapters with screens that make cute lil’ faces. Anker’s 45W single-port Nano is one such model, debuting at CES 2026 for $39.99. During Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, you can now get the black or white version for $27.99 at Amazon. The blue and orange models are $29.99. Read our hands-on review.

The cheapest Disney Plus and Hulu bundle plan typically costs $12.99 each month (and has ads). But until 11:59AM ET today, new and eligible returning subscribers can get in on a deal that knocks $8 off monthly for three months. You’ll have paid just $15 when the discount ends, then the monthly price will go back to normal.

Designed for small spaces, the smart indoor hydroponic garden is available from Gardyn for $439.20 with code SPRINGFRESH. It can grow up to 16 herbs, vegetables, and greens, and it uses AI to help manage watering and plant care. The latter features require a $25 monthly fee, but our reviewer said the system paid for itself, cutting her family’s produce spending in half.

If you’re after a laptop that hits the sweet spot, the new 13-inch MacBook Air’s on sale starting at $1,049.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo. It builds on what was already a well-rounded machine, with faster performance, double the base storage (512GB), and read and write speeds that rival the M5 MacBook Pro. Read our review.

Sharge’s retro-inspired GaN charger from last year is on sale for $69.90 at Amazon and Sharge’s online storefront, matching its best price to date. There are a lot of cheaper 140W offerings out there, but few of them pack three USB-C ports and an adjustable dot matrix display for viewing real-time wattage. It even rotates!
