Even if you're not a tech fan, it's a grim time of the year. The fun of CES and Mobile World Congress are over; like most people who are slogging through the winter doldrums, we here at the Gadget Lab are eagerly awaiting the time when we can finally get our hands on all the cool new tech that we've previewed. In the meantime, we've scoured the web to find our favorite bargains. Whether you're planning for a party with the Fujifilm Instax Mini or doing a little spring cleaning with a couple of robot vacuums, we have a pick for you.
I (Adrienne) own a Fujifilm Instax Mini 9, because it's affordable, adorable, and admirably serves the proper purpose of the instant film camera: to sit on a table at parties and print out fun pictures for everyone to take home. This week, it's marked down from its already low price to $50. As our reviewer Brendan Nystedt said, this makes it by far the best value in instant photography.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 costs $50 ($20 off)
LG B8 OLED 4K TV for $1,100 ($500 off). We saw the lowest price ever on a 55-inch LG OLED earlier this week. We voted it the Best-Looking TV last year. Read our deal story for more details.
Apple iPad 32 GB Tablet for $250 ($79 off). This is the latest model, and it supports Apple Pencil. We voted it the Best All-Around iPad.
SkyTech Archangel Gaming PC for $600 ($150 off): This is a VR-ready gaming desktop with an AMD Ryzen 2600 6-core processor and AMD Radeon RX 580 4G graphics card that's ready for your HTC Vive.
Asus Zenbook UX331 for $799 ($151 off): This light, affordable work laptop comes with a 13-inch 1080p Full HD display, 8 GB of RAM, a 256-GB SSD, and a 1.8-GHz Intel Core i7 quad-core processor.
Panasonic Lumix GX85 with 12-322mm and 45-150mm Lens Bundle for $498 ($502 off): If you've been thinking that you need a mirrorless camera that can shoot 4K video, this is a solid and affordable start to your kit.
Linksys Velop Home Mesh Wi-Fi System for $99 ($100 off): This is way cheaper than when we first recommended it in our guide to replacing your router.
Nintendo Switch + $35 Nintendo eShop Gift Card for $299: Okay, this isn't a great deal, but we love the Switch and this is the best deal going for it right now. If you, too, were boggled by the price of many Switch games, this will help pay them off.
Dyson V7 Cordless Stick Vacuum for $246 ($153 off): I own this cordless stick vacuum and for cleaning quick messes (or my car), it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. There's also another great deal on a Dyson upright bagless vacuum at Walmart right now.
iRobot Roomba 670 for $264 ($30 off): This is the latest version of my favorite mid-range robot vacuum.

REI Co-op Camp Bundle for $149 ($90 off): This is an absurd bargain on a bundle that includes a 3-season tent, sleeping pad, and 30-degree sleeping bag that will get you all set up for summer camping.
