Good Deals

Welcome to Good Deals, a Verge-approved roundup of the week’s best tech deals from Vox Media Commerce Editor Chloe Reznikov.

Mother’s Day in the US is quickly approaching on May 14th, and along with several other notable deals, we’ve got a handful of on-sale gifts that’d be great for the mothers of the world, including 20 percent off Apple’s Beats X earbuds. As my colleague Chris Welch mentioned in his review, these neckbuds are so comfortable that you’ll often forget they’re wrapped around your neck. For $120, why not gift your mom these reliable earbuds; after all, she did bring you into the world, so that’s the least you can do for her, right?

May the 4th is also approaching, and you probably already know what that means. ThinkGeek already launched their big Star Wars sale which features up to 60 percent off over 150 Star Wars-themed products, including a BB-8 USB Car Charger and R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone.
Last call

Ending tonight: If you missed out on HP’s Days sale two weeks ago, you can still grab considerable discounts on some computers. Our pick is the HP ENVY 15t 15.6-inch Laptop (Intel Core i7, 6GB RAM) for $200 off. Mother’s Day pick: If your mom needs a new laptop, this is a pretty reasonably priced option.
Ending April 30th: Save five percent with promo code BHNAB17 on some of DJI’s best drones, including the Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 Pro, and Inspire 2. B&H claims they are selling fast so if you’re in the market for one of these then you should definitely take advantage of this sale.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Best Buy, Beats by Dr. Dre BeatsX Earphones are 20 percent off (usually $149.99, now $119.99). Groupon matched this price and is also selling the black and white models for $120. Mother’s Day pick: Aside from the comfort, these are pretty reliable neckbuds and super easy to connect to the iPhone.
