HWZ Deal Alert: 17th Sep 2015

Got deal, got talk! GDGT :)

The writers at HardwareZone are tech lovers, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re always on the lookout for tech deals and shopping for gadgets online. From established marketplaces like Amazon, Newegg, Lazada, Qoo10, and Taobao for hardware to the various app stores from Amazon, Apple, Google, and smaller developers for software, the number of items that we flagged internally is…well, not small, to put it humbly.

Since sharing is caring, we’ve decided to handpick a few more interesting ones for you, our dear readers, regularly moving forward. And here are a few that have our attention this very moment.

 

1.) Anker Qi wireless charger

A couple of us has just gotten the new Samsung Galaxy S6 and are looking for a couple of cheap but reliable Qi wireless chargers to put at home and in the office. Anker, a reliable maker of power banks, is now offering a Qi wireless charger on Amazon for just US$11.99. A regular wireless charger that outputs at 1A over 5V, it’s compatible with any Qi-enabled device or device equipped with a Qi-compatible cover. Note 5 and S6 Edge+ users looking for even faster charging may want to look at this pair of new fast wireless chargers from Choetech that will be released on September 21.

 

2.) MacUpdate 2015 Fall Bundle

Here’s one for Mac users. No, how about 10? You see, MacUpdate has just launched its fall bundle, where you get 10 apps worth nearly US$600 for just US$50. This time, the apps include Toast Titanium 14, ExpanDrive, DEVONthink Personal, Boom, iMazing, three Paragon titles, Sparkle, NetSpot Pro, MacOptimizer, and TG Pro. The first 5,000 buyers will also get an extra app, Seasonality Core. This offer will last for another two weeks.

 

3.) Kmashi Arma K3 Bluetooth earphones

Kmashi, maker of popular external power banks has a pretty decent and affordable pair of Bluetooth 4.0 earphones for sale on Amazon. Called the Amra K3, it’s able to pair with most Bluetooth-enables phones, has a sweat-proof design and in-line controls. Thanks to Kinja Deals, we now know that one is able to drop the current US$17 price tag a few dollars more to US$14 when the code COGBDG5V is used.

 

4.) Lazada Mega Sale

Okay, we know that not everyone is comfortable shopping on overseas sites. And some people just don’t want to deal with this hassle known as shipping. For something closer to home, know that today is the last day of the Lazada Mega Sale. The secret flash sales are still happening, and one of the more interesting ones to watch is the sale of the Palit GeForce GTX 970 4GB graphics card at 8pm. A quick check tells us that this card has a street price of around S$470; and looking at the discounts so far, this could turn out to be really a steal.

 

5.) Bonus-if-it-works-deal: Artech 21 Vivid Arkansas case for Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Disclaimer: This is something that we saw over at the XDA Developers forum, but so far the coupon code given (JGL4H7YP) hasn’t been activated yet. In other words, it may or may not work. If it works, it should bring the price of this US$16 Artech 21 dual-layer case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 down to just US$2. Of course, the savings probably aren't worth it when you factor shipping charges. So let’s file this as a buy-it-if-you-have-a-friend-in-the-States item for the time being, and a bonus item for our overseas readers.

All said and done, #BBBMTL!
