Unlock extra productivity with a portable laptop monitor, now $64

And now's an awesome time to snag one because this Arzopa portable laptop monitor is down to $64 on Amazon, matching its all-time best price. With an MSRP of $110, the savings are substantial here.

This portable laptop monitor is the perfect second screen that you so desperately need when out and about, allowing you to expand your screen real estate and work on multiple tasks at once — or split things up so key details sit on one screen while you work on the other.

The 15.6-inch 1080p IPS display delivers clear images and vibrant colors, and the crisp resolution makes it ideal not only for office work but also for streaming media in the evenings or even for some light gaming. (That said, the 60Hz refresh rate isn't ideal for high FPS gaming.)

This travel monitor is easy to hook up to any other device as well since it connects via USB-C. That means you can use it with your phone, tablet, or even a gaming console. It's lightweight and slim, so it fits right next to your laptop in the bag you already carry.

It's the perfect way to ensure you're more efficient this year — a simple portable monitor for $64 on Amazon is excellent bang for your buck.

8Bitdo's Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox drops to a record low of $29
The 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox is on sale via Amazon for just $29. This is a record low price and represents a discount of 36 percent. That's a pretty good deal, especially when considering that first-party Xbox controllers are around $60.

This isn't a cheap knockoff. 8Bitdo makes fantastic controllers that regularly find a place in our best of lists. It's licensed by Xbox and compatible with the Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One and Windows 10 and above. In other words, this can double as a PC and Xbox controller.



There are two extra buttons on the back that aren't included with the official controller, which could be useful for mapping (particularly with PC games.) To that end, the controller offers custom button mapping and stick/trigger sensitivity for control over vibration.

The Hall effect joysticks and impulse triggers should increase both durability and sensitivity, while minimizing drift. There's also a 3.5mm audio jack on the back to directly connect to headphones. Other features include a classic d-pad and an enhanced grip.

So what's the catch? It's right there in the name. This is a wired controller, which is both a blessing and a curse. Wired controllers offer reduced latency, making them the preferred choice for pro-level gamers, but keep folks tethered to a cable. It ships with a fairly long cable, at nearly ten feet, but the wireless range of a standard Bluetooth controller comes in at around 20 feet.
