Your 9to5Toys Lunch Break is now ready to roll starting off with the best straight up cash discount we have tracked yet on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic at $140 off with no trades or bundles needed. There’s no telling how long that offer might stick around for, but you might also want to scope out this deal on Alienware’s latest Aurora 16X RTX 5070 gaming laptop at a giant $450 off and this MiNi Ultra adapter that delivers wireless Android Auto at the $46 Amazon low as well. Everything else, from tablets to chargers and more, is waiting down below.
Galaxy Watch 8 Classic just dropped even lower, now down at the $360 all-time low ($140 off)
Yesterday we spotted a surprise deal on the new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic at Woot, and the price has now dropped even lower. This is a $500 current-generation Galaxy wearable that just released and it is now live in brand new condition with a full Samsung 1-year warranty at $140 off the list price – no trades and bundles required. Details below.
Just as we detailed yesterday, the new Classic is currently seeing some lighter $30 price drops over at Amazon with pricing starting at $470, while the official Samsung site is still up at the full $500 list price – unless you secured a Reserve credit that drops it to $450. But either way, the Woot deal is a whole lot less than any of those.
Woot is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and black or white colorways down at $359.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Regularly $500, this is $140 off the list price, $20 under our mention from yesterday afternoon, and the best cash discount we have tracked post-launch.

There were some serious deals live on this watch if you bundled it in with the Galaxy Z Flip or Fold 7, but the particularly deep offers there are no more and you will either way have to drop a whole lot more to take advantage of the those that are still left.
The notched bezel on the new Classic has been a somewhat divisive design choice despite being a popular option a couple generations back. I happen to love the look of it, but I also love the look of a proper mechanical dive watch too. And if you don’t like it, the Galaxy Watch 8 standard model is starting at the same price, or $310 for folks who locked in the $50 reserve credit.
Save a whopping $450 today on Alienware’s latest Aurora 16X RTX 5070 gaming laptop with 16-inch 240Hz display
Over at Dell, you’ll find an Alienware Aurora 16X RTX 5070 gaming laptop going for $1,549.99 shipped. The configuration discounted today with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD typically goes for $2,000, so you’re looking at a straight-up $450 in savings. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this gaming laptop to date, and it’s now beating the all-time low on the 16GB model we tracked last month by $50. You’ll find other variants of this laptop, as well as the Aurora 16, discounted at Dell right now with up to $200 in savings, so be sure to check them out after getting more details below.
The Aurora 16X is Alienware’s newest gaming laptop, bringing a sleeker, more polished look than its predecessors with an anodized aluminum lid. The model discounted today sports a 16-inch 2560×1600 IPS display that pushes a 240Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay, and it pairs Intel’s latest Lunar Lake Core 9 275HX processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Gaming is handled by NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 complete with DLSS support. It’s also offers a good set of ports like dual USB-A and USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, and Ethernet for connectivity, and some of its other highlights include an RGB backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7, and stereo speakers.
If you’d rather get your hands on a gaming PC instead, Alienware’s Aurora R16 desktop is down at $1,500 right now. It comes with NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti GPU, and is down from its usual price of $2,100.
This MiNi Ultra adapter delivers wireless CarPlay & Android Auto at under $46 (Amazon low)
We are now tracking the best deal we have seen yet on the latest ultra-compact CarlinKit MiNi Ultra Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter at $45.91 shipped – be sure to clip the on-page coupon – courtesy of the brand’s official Amazon storefront. Details below.
This thumb nail-sized adapter landed on Amazon for the first time a few months ago at $56 and is now a touch lower than our previous mention. Although not by much, today’s deal is in fact the best we have tracked since its launch there to deliver an ultra-tiny USB adapter for folks looking to upgrade to a wireless CarPlay or Android Auto setup.
While these sorts of things are built right into most modern vehicles now, this adapter will help you transform a wired-only Android Auto and Apple CarPlay into a wireless one.
Simply plug it into your car’s USB port and enjoy automatic wireless connection every time you start your vehicle – no cables, no complicated setup required.
I can also very much appreciate the form-factor on the MiNi Ultra. There are plenty of thumb drive-sized models out there, but this one is more the size of a thumb nail – I don’t love the idea of having them jutting out off the dash all too much.
It works with “most vehicles featuring factory wired CarPlay/Android Auto via USB” and “seamlessly with your car’s original systems” to maintain OEM functionality – steering wheel controls, knobs, and factory microphone. Support for iPhone 6 and later (iOS 10+) and Android phones running Android 11.0 or newer is at the ready here.
