The Alienware QD-OLED monitor has sold out on Dell's site, but the unique coupon code should be valid through March 27th. If more monitors become available, it may still apply.

Yesterday's big announcements from Apple included a hot, new monitor to get excited about, but we all know there are already many great displays worth your hard-earned money. Today's deal is entered.

The new Alienware AW3423DW curved ultrawide gaming monitor just landed, and while Dell has it listed for $1,307.49, there is a way for you to knock 10 percent off. If our initial hands-on with the new monitor is any indication, it should be worth it.

According to Slickdeals, and confirmed by the Verge Deals team, you can subscribe to Dell’s email updates at this link and after about 30 minutes you’ll receive an email with a unique coupon code for 10 percent off Dell PCs, monitors (including this one), and accessories. Once you have that in hand, add the Alienware monitor to your cart and apply your code at checkout, where the price should be knocked down to $1,165.94 to offset the cost of sales tax, plus some. Yes, you’ll be opting-in to Dell’s email marketing, but you can unsubscribe at any time. Consider it the small price to pay for getting that rare discount while being an early adopter. Read our hands-on.

Alienware's AW3423DW is the first in the market to ship with a QD-OLED panel. QD-OLED is promising higher brightness while maintaining vivid colors.

The refreshed iPad Air is powered by the same M1 processor as the pricier iPad Pro models. The Air line should get impressive performance from that coveted CPU, even for an even more affordable price. The new iPad Air is the same design as the previous model, meaning all accessories are compatible.

It's a nice coincidence that the iPad keyboard cases are on sale for 20 percent off. If you already own the 2020 model of the iPad, the Brydge Air Max Plus is now $119.99 at Amazon and Brydge's own site. The combination case and backlit keyboard offer a more laptop-like experience, while protecting the iPad when closed. When it comes to multitasking, the added input methods give more robust options for typing and navigating.

The Air Max Plus has a keyboard and trackpad for the iPad Air. It has a magnetic snap-fit case. It's compatible with the iPad Air and 11-inch iPad Pro.

The latest iPad Mini is a popular model that has been hard to come by. This one seems to be a slight victim of the chip shortages, often selling for full price and with some heavy shipping delays. Right now, Amazon has the 64GB model in space gray for $450, which is a discount of $40 and matches its best price to date. Even with Amazon Prime, it is expected to ship in six days.

The iPad Mini grew its display to 8.3 inches and got the same A15 Bionic processor as the iPhone 13 line. The Mini can use the Apple Pencil 2 and a charging port instead of the Lightning port. Read the review.

The new iPad Mini has a larger, edge-to-edge display that is reminiscent of last year's iPad Air. It comes with a faster processor, a power button and a Touch ID sensor.

The entry-level iPad is available at Walmart for $309 if you have a tighter budget. The new iPad received a refresh in 2021. It is compatible with the original Apple Pencil and is equipped with an A13. It looks a lot like most regular iPads before it, complete with a Touch ID-enabled home button, though the little improvements over time make it a flexible device, capable enough for most people.

Apple's latest entry-level iPad has a new A13 Bionic chip and a 12MP front camera that supports Apple's Center Stage feature.

There is a two-pack of the Google Nest routers on the side of the fence at Amazon for a limited time. The two wi-fi 5 routers that cover a home up to 4,400 square feet are $90 off. This package is a little different than your usual Nest Wifi routers with a remote Point, and while that costs a little less at $189 there are benefits to having two of them powered by your mesh network.

If you're heavily invested in the Nest and Google Assistant ecosystems, the option of using a newer, more powerful version of the internet radio is still a strong one. Points double as smart speakers and further extend your network if you add them to the mix. It is possible to use the nest wifi with the previous wifi lineup of routers. Read the review.

Fast speeds up to 500Mbps can be achieved with the Nest Wifi system, which is a wi-fi 5 mesh router. A two-pack can cover up to 4,400 square feet.
