Amazon is selling the DJI Mini 4K drone for just $249, which is a discount of $50. The deal is only for Prime members. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this particular model since early in the year.

The Mini 4K is a beginner-friendly drone, but it’s still got plenty of nifty features. As the name suggests, it can capture 4K video at up to 30 FPS. It can also record 2.7K footage at 60 FPS. There’s 2x digital zoom, a 3-axis gimbal and electrical image stabilization. The drone can transmit 1080p video from up to 10km away.

It offers level-5 wind resistance, which is nice, and can fly for up to 31 minutes per charge. The drone allows for one-tap movements and comes with a dedicated remote. Users can also access the companion app for additional controls and to access flight tutorials.

Perhaps the coolest feature here is the size and form factor. The Mini 4K is small enough that it doesn’t require FAA registration, so you can take it out immediately after unboxing. It’s also foldable, making it easy to store when not in use. This particular model didn’t make our list of the best drones, but its more expensive sibling, the Mini 4 Pro, was our very favorite.

If you’re in the market for a new mouse that won’t totally break the bank then today is your lucky day. Right now, our favorite mouse for productivity is down to a record-low price. You can pick up the Logitech MX Master 3S wireless mouse for $80, down from $120 — 33 percent discount. 

Logitech released the MX Master 3S in 2022, but it’s still a great option. This model comes with a USB receiver, quiet clicks and lots of customization options. It also has an 8K DPI optical sensor that performs well on all surfaces.

The MX Master 3S wireless mouse further benefits from its ergonomic design. It has a platform for your thumb and places controls within easy reach. Plus, Logitech claims it has 70 days worth of battery life.

Cash App has debuted a new group payment feature that allows folks who don’t even use the app to contribute to a kitty. Pools enables Cash App users to invite folks to chip in for a large purchase (such as a group vacation) via Apple Pay and Google Pay. A small number of users have access to Pools at the jump, though Cash App owner Block expects to offer it to all of the service’s customers in the coming months. Block told CNBC this is the first time that Cash App is opening up to external payments from Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Through Pools, users can collect and track contributions from others via $Cashtags (for other Cash App users), or shareable links for Apple Pay and Google Pay. Users can start a pool through the Cash App, and set up a name and target amount. The organizer can close the pool whenever they like, move the money to their Cash balance and then use that to pay for whatever the group is planning to buy.

Pools is a seemingly handy feature that could assist Cash App in competing with Venmo by helping Block expand the app’s user base. It might help iOS and Android users who haven’t tried it out learn more about the app and decide to check it out. However, it’s perhaps worth bearing in mind that Cash App was subject to data breaches within the last few years. Block has also been fined over its handling of fraud on the platform.

Rugged and regal, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is on sale for a record‑low price of $650 right now. Built for endurance athletes and outdoor adventurers, the Ultra 2 pairs a rugged 49‑millimeter titanium case with 100‑meter water resistance and dive support to 40 meters. If you’re a fitness enthusiast and haven’t yet taken the plunge on an Apple Watch, this sale might be the perfect opportunity to pick one up for $150 off.

Its Retina display peaks at 3,000 nits, which is 50 percent brighter than the Apple Watch Series 10, and its battery lasts twice as long at up to 36 hours. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 features all the same health technology as the Series 10, like the ECG app, sleep tracking, the Vitals app and more.

We named the Apple Watch Ultra 2 our best Apple Watch for adventurers thanks to its precision dual‑frequency GPS, aerospace‑grade titanium case and water resistance to 100 meters. Apple even says the Ultra 2 is rated for high‑speed water sports.

The sale includes only the natural‑colored case in three band styles: Alpine Loop, Trail Loop and Ocean Band. Each band is available in a variety of colors to match your taste or wardrobe.

It’s rumored that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be announced this fall, so aggressive sales like this may crop up again between now and then.

Adobe is rolling out a series of new Photoshop tools in beta that it claims will eliminate “tedious steps, reduce friction, and make precision editing faster and more intuitive.” 

The new features include Generative Upscale for desktop and web, allowing you to enhance images by up to 8 megapixels before losing quality. This tool can be used for things such as improving photos you want to print or updating older files. According to Adobe, this feature has been one of the most requested among its users. 

Then there’s the updated Remove tool, courtesy of the new Adobe Firefly Image Model. It does all the tidying and erasing you would expect, but also should provide a more realistic image. As Adobe puts it, there should be “fewer artifacts” left of the thumb, background people or whatever else you removed from the photo. It’s also available in beta on desktop and web. 

Adobe is also rolling out the Harmonize feature, first discussed as Project Perfect Blend during the company’s October 2024 Max conference. Powered by the Adobe firefly Image Model, Harmonize “intelligently analyzes the surrounding context, automatically adjusting color, lighting, shadows, and visual tone to create seamless, cohesive composites.” Adobe claims this will reduce the time needed for manual adjustments. On top of trying out the beta on desktop or web, it’s also available in Early Access for mobile iOS users. 

You can now use the Gen AI Model Picker to move between the different Firefly Image Models, as they each offer something a bit different when using the tools. Plus, Photoshop is rolling out something else in beta called Projects which, well, manages your projects. It should keep all your files in one place and let you send out entire collections, rather than one version at a time.

I’ve been wondering for a while what the killer app for Joy-Con mouse controls on the Nintendo Switch 2 might be. Sure, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is fine as a tech demo (one that should have been a pack-in rather than costing $10) and Drag x Drive looks pretty interesting. Civilization VII has its fans as well. But the best use case for the feature yet could be a 33-year-old game that just hit Nintendo Switch Online.

That’s right, the all-time SNES classic Mario Paint just joined the service. The game only works with mouse controls, but original Switch users won’t be left out here, as they have the option to plug a compatible USB mouse into the console’s dock and create some art that way.

Mario Paint allows you to color in existing designs (of, say, Mario and Yoshi) or fill the segments with patterns. You’ll be able to create original art and animations too. There’s also a mini-game in which you can test your mouse-pointing accuracy by swatting bugs. Perhaps most importantly for many Mario Paint fans, the music creator is present. A few Mario Paint tracks have joined the library in the Nintendo Music app as well.

But that’s not all. The Nintendo Switch Online SNES app now offers control remapping, which is a welcome accessibility update.

Apparently it’s the season for great deals on Apple’s MacBooks with M4 chips. First, the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 dropped to an all-time low of $799 (it’s still on sale here). Now, the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 has followed in its footsteps, going on sale for its own record-low price of $1,299. 

The 19 percent discount means $300 in savings, compared to the model’s usual $1,599 price tag. That deal will get you 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. Though, if you’re willing to spend another $200, you can get 1TB of SSD. 

We gave the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 a 92 in our review thanks, in large part, to the M4 chip’s speed. We also named it our best MacBook for creatives due to factors like speed, brighter screens and an upgraded webcam (12MP instead of 1080p). It also has a very long battery life, lasting for over 34 hours while playing HD video. 

Are you looking for something a bit bigger and faster? The 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro model is also on sale, albeit less significantly. You can get 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for $2,235, down from $2,499 — an 11 percent discount. It’s only available with Apple’s M4 Pro chip and 24GB of RAM. The M4 Pro chip can support Thunderbolt 5, allowing you to transfer files at 120GB per second, compared to 40GB per second in the fourth generation.
