Laptop, desktop, Chromebook - no matter what computer setup you have at home, it's time for a serious audio upgrade. For a limited time and while supplies last, Costco has the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX computer speakers for $ 99.99 . That's $ 40 less than the regular price and the best deal I've seen (including Amazon).
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 has always been around; It is widely considered to be one of the best computer speaker setups ever made. And for good reason: a full 200 watt THX-certified audio quality is achieved via its subwoofer and two satellites.
So if your computer is also the place where you play games, watch movies, listen to music, etc., something like this would be a massive improvement over the built-in speakers you use.
Of course, you need a Costco membership to take advantage of this offer. Unfortunately, this Groupon membership contract expired a few weeks ago. Maybe you can find a friend to help you buy?
In any case, you will also need standard 3.5mm headphones or an audio-out jack. The ProMedia cannot be operated via USB. A cool perk: one of the satellites contains both headphone and line-out jacks should this be necessary.
Her thoughts?
This bottle uses UV light to purify your water. It's available for $ 49 (save 30%).
We know that UV light can destroy the harmful germs on our cell phones, but did you know it works on water too? At least that's the promise, as in this latest roundup of self-cleaning water bottles. A burst of UV light not only disinfects the H2O, but also the inside of the bottle.
Interested? Here's one of the cheaper options I've ever seen: For a limited time and while supplies last, this is the Galvanox Steliron UV Sterilizer Water Bottle drops to $ 48.99 with promo code A93SB6HR. That's a 30% discount on the regular price.
I'll be the first to admit that I know little about this product category, and this particular product is so new it doesn't have any user reviews. I can tell you that it has two cleaning modes ("fast" and "full length") and a light cap that is good for up to 40 uses on one charge. Read the above summary for a good look at how these bottles work and why you might want one.
After playing much of the History Channel's Alone series lately, I can definitely see that I want to find a simple and effective way to sterilize water. Not that I dive into many wilderness streams mind you, but you never know.
