2020 Apple 27-inch iMac (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

$1,199.99 at Amazon (save $599.01)

Why we like it

A device for creators or a family computer? Why not both? The 27-inch iMac from 2020 wasn't a major game-changer, but does include a more powerful processor, more storage options, and a high-quality webcam (finally). The base model — which houses a 3.1GHz six-core 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and 256GB of SSD storage — is a solid choice as "your family computer for schoolwork, Zoom calls, and streaming movies," Mashable's Brenda Stolyar wrote in her review. She also noted that there's not much to complain nor rave about with this computer. But with the $1,199.99 price tag ($599 off its usual cost), we're definitely raving now.

Amazon device deal

Echo Dot (3rd Gen) 2-Pack

$14.99 at Amazon (save $64.99 with code FREEDOT22)

Why we like it

Not only is the third-generation Echo Dot at its lowest price ever, but you can also grab a second one for free when you enter the code FREEDOT22 at checkout. That means you get two Echo Dot smart speakers for just $15 — a $65 discount — and create a stereo sound experience in your home. Or, of course, you can gift one to someone else this holiday season without spending a dime. While the 2018 Echo Dot doesn't have the most advanced sound on the market, former Mashable tech editor Pete Pachal found that it "turns its entry-level Alexa product from a merely passable audio experience into something much more pleasing to the ear."
