It’s Monday! Time for some handpicked gadget deals.
Virgin Mobile No-Contract Android phone: $160 at Target
The Samsung Intercept normally runs at $200 but Target has it this week at $160—you’ll have to actually go to a physical Target location, unfortunately. The phone doesn’t require a two-year contract and service through Virgin Mobile starts at just $25 per month (Virgin Mobile runs on Sprint’s network).
50-pack of blank DVDs: $5 at Staples
As unexciting as blank DVDs are, five bucks for 50 of them isn’t a bad deal at all. You’ll have to wait on a $5 mail-in rebate but Staples’ regular price is almost $30, so a little patience goes a long way in this case.
HD webcam: $20 at Woot.com (today only)
Woot has a one-day deal on the Blue Microphones Eyeball 2.0 Webcam. Spoiler alert: the audio quality of this webcam is excellent, but the video leaves a bit to be desired if you’re expecting true 30 frames-per-second HD video.
Plantronics Bluetooth headset: $26 at Amazon (today only)
Don’t let anyone tell you that walking around all day with a Bluetooth headset in your ear doesn’t look cool. They’re just jealous. They may soon have their own headsets, though, as Amazon has a one-day deal on this popular Plantronics model for just $26.
Alienware M11x ultraportable gaming laptop: $636 at Dell
Use coupon code VR?90Z?B3RCT9X to bring the price of the Alienware M11x 11.6-inch notebook from $734 down to $636. The system features a whopping 8GB of RAM, 1GB video card, and an Intel Core i5 processor.
Refurbished WD TV HD box: $41 at MidnightBox.com (today only)
Western Digital’s WD TV HD set-top box can play back just about any video format with up to 1080p resolution.
This one-day deal on a refurbished unit carries a 30-day warranty at around half the price of a new one.
HP 15-inch laptop: $380 at Best Buy
Just under $400 gets you a 15.6-inch HP laptop with a dual-core AMD Phenom II processor, 3GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive and a DVD burner. The computer comes preloaded with Windows 7 and battery life good up to four hours.
Iomega 1TB external backup drive: $60 at Staples
Digital hoarders used to have it tough, dedicating enormous chunks of their income toward storage devices. Nowadays, a one-terabyte external hard drive can be had for $60. This isn’t even really a challenge anymore, huh?
Lenovo 14-inch Core i5 ultraportable laptop: $649 at Lenovo
Use coupon code USPU2D0217 to chop the price of the 4-pound, 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad U460 from $900 to $649. The machine features an Intel Core i5 processor, 8-cell battery, Windows 7, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.
Refurbished 23-inch Samsung HD monitor: $149 at Buy.com
Not a bad deal for a 23-inch monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution, though you may want to add a warranty starting at $25. The PC- and Mac-compatible Samsung B2330H features HDMI/DVI/VGA inputs, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 5-millisecond response time.
