Things have chilled out considerably this week, both in terms of how cold it has become in parts of the US and how few deals there are compared to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are some great offers happening in-store and online. We will be keeping a close eye on deals in the next few weeks to make sure you get what you want.
Let's get to the deals.
Save money on the third-gen AirPods.
I can't remember the last time an Apple product was discounted so quickly. The third-gen AirPods, which were originally priced at $179, are now $139.99 at Amazon. The latest AirPods don't have active noise cancellation, and they rest in your ear, unlike the Pro's included Silicon tips. If you are one of those people, you should check out this deal before it expires. Read our full review.

The Xbox Series S is in stock at Amazon.
The $499.99 Xbox Series X sibling is hard to find, but the $299.99 Xbox Series S is more plentiful. You can get the special edition console for $299.99, which includes in-game currency for both Rocket League and Fortnite, if you are a Prime member.
The 16-inch Omen gaming laptop is a bargain.
HP is offering a fairly capable configuration of its Omen 16 gaming laptop for just over $1M when you use the offer code WINTER10 at checkout. The price is impressive when you consider what is inside the laptop. You are getting a 16.1-inch FHD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and an RTX 3070 graphics chip with 115W of total graphics power. The RTX 3060 is one of the most popular gaming laptops at this price range.
The new Surface Pro 8 has a cover and extended warranty.
Buydig, a site that often gets the edge over other retailers by offering extended warranties or Visa gift cards with big-ticket purchases, is currently selling a new Surface Pro 8 bundle for just $999. It comes with a $100 type cover and a one-year warranty, giving you two years of coverage. The base configuration of the Surface Pro 8 is usually $999, with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, an upgradeable 128GB SSD, as well as a 120Hz refresh rate display. You are getting about $300 worth of extras. Read our full review.

You can get a Game Pass to play the game.
If you have a PC or an Xbox, you can play the game on the cheap with a Game Pass subscription. For new PC subscribers, Game Pass costs just $1 for the first three months of service, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $1 for the first month. You have plenty of time to play through the campaign, and to see if the Multiplayer component of the game makes you addicted. Nope, not at all.
You don't need Game Pass to play the game. You can either pay $60 or get the Game Pass. Read our full review.

The G435 wireless gaming headset is $10 off.
A good-sounding wireless headset that has both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth can be had for $79.99. I chose the Logitech G435 Lightspeed as my favorite wireless headset because I liked it so much. You can save $10 on it at a number of retailers, including Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy.
