| Google Pixel 4 XL one month later: Is it worth $699? - 9to5Google Posted: 25 Nov 2019 12:12 PM PST Reviews of Google's Pixel 4 series weren't all that hot thanks to bad battery life and uncompetitive pricing. Now, a month later, we've had a chance to use the Pixel 4 XL for an extended period of time and we can better share our experience with the device and answer an important question – is the Pixel 4 XL worth its Black Friday price?   Nomad case for Pixel 3A month later, how has the Pixel 4 XL fared?I've been using Google's Pixel 4 XL for just about a month at this point and so far, I think it might be my favorite Pixel to date. Why? First and foremost there's the performance. In day to day use the Pixel 4 XL feels faster and consistently more stable than my Pixel 3 ever felt. This includes the camera which, on the Pixel 3, had a ton of issues ranging from lag to not actually saving photos. That's not a problem I've experienced even once on the 4 XL and the speed of taking shots is still snappy too. The experience basically still feels the same as I described in my full review.
Beyond the performance, the software is getting better too. Google recently rolled out an update that makes the 90Hz refresh rate kick in far more often and also fixing some minor issues with the camera too. It's taking some time, but apps are also slowly being updated with support for Pixel's new face unlock too. LastPass, for instance, added support not long ago. Now PayPal, please… So far, the Pixel 4 XL feels off to a better start than the Pixel 3 before it. By the end, those phones felt faster and had fixed many of their major flaws. Pixel 4 doesn't have nearly as far to go to fix its handful of issues.
Is it worth $699?The Pixel 4 XL has always been the better of the two phones Google's released this year largely thanks to its better battery life. A month later, that holds up. While using the smaller Pixel 4, my usage would kill the device by 7 pm every single night. With the larger model, I'm consistently making it through a full day with around 10-15% remaining at the end of the day. This mirrors what Damien experienced when he reviewed the Pixel 4 XL a month ago. What about the rest of the package? The Pixel 4 XL was largely criticized because of its value. The phone isn't as spec-heavy as other Android flagships with limited storage options and less RAM too. On top of that, the cameras, while excellent, lack the popular ultra-wide lens and video options like 4K at 60fps. At $899 and up, it's admittedly pretty hard to recommend a Pixel 4 XL if factors like those are at all important, but that price also puts Google's phone under a lot more scrutiny.
However, at $699, much of that becomes a lot more forgivable. $699 is well below the cost of competing smartphones like the Galaxy Note 10 and iPhone 11 Pro. Unless you absolutely need those features, the Pixel's savings of $300 or more is simply compelling. Of course, there's the still-cheaper OnePlus 7T, but fewer buying options and other concerns may rule that device out for many people. It may sound like a cliche, but there's something about the Pixel experience that makes Google's smartphones compelling. As I stated in my review:
Pixel 4 Black Friday PricingFor Black Friday, Google is offering a full $200 off all Pixel 4 models. Starting at $599, the entire series becomes a whole lot more compelling. I've already recommended a couple of my friends who were interested to go ahead and take advantage of the deal and you should too. For $599 or $699, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are some really great smartphones. If you're interested in getting a Pixel 4 with the Black Friday pricing, you can purchase from the Google Store, Amazon, B&H Photo, and other retailers.

| This $699 MacBook Air deal makes it cheaper than an iPad Pro - TechRadar Posted: 26 Nov 2019 05:36 AM PST Apple made headlines when it abandoned the Butterfly keyboard in the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but it's still there in the most recent MacBook Air. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 2017 to get a livable keyboard in the Air – luckily Amazon has that exact model on sale. Right now you can pick up this sweet Black Friday laptop deal, scoring the 2017 MacBook Air with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD for just $699. It's an older processor to be sure, but it's really not that much slower than the current mid-2019 model, and this $300 Amazon Black Friday deal is pretty awesome.
MacBook Air 2017: This model of the MacBook Air is still using an old Intel dual-core processor, and a 900p display. That doesn't sound super great on paper, but if you have a kid that needs their first computer or just want something you can carry around without worrying about price, it can still do pretty much everything you throw at it. Plus, macOS is frankly amazing at working with older hardware. Plus, you can't forget the keyboard: this laptop came out before Apple started shoving the Butterfly keyboard into literally every laptop in its lineup. If you want a comfortable, quiet keyboard that won't break because it gets some dust on it, you can either get this laptop or spring for the much more expensive MacBook Pro 16-inch. If you ask us, it's an easy choice. Need some accessories to go with your new MacBook purchase? Why not pick up a pair of headphones - perfect for video calls or listening to music while you work or game. There are some fantastic Black Friday headphone deals available right now.

| Black Friday 2019 iPad deals: Best Buy has the 10.2-inch model for $250 - CNET Posted: 26 Nov 2019 05:37 AM PST  Best Buy isn't waiting around for Black Friday to unveil the lowest iPad price we expect to see this year. The 32GB 10.2-inch iPad, released in September, currently costs $250. If you're in the market, the time to buy is now -- and the place do to it is Best Buy. (Note that you need to be a member of Best Buy's My Best Buy reward program -- it's free -- to see some of its sale prices.) Amazon was selling the 10.2-inch iPad for $250, if only briefly, last night. No doubt, it will again adjust its price. And we expect Walmart to catch up to this price soon (on Nov. 27, to be exact). The point is: Don't spend more than $250 on the 32GB version of the new iPad. At the moment, other iPad deals are a mixed bag. Walmart is sticking with its discount on this 10.5-inch iPad Pro -- a decent deal on a Pro-caliber Apple tablet with 512GB of storage. For now, the deals on the 9.7-inch iPad have all but disappeared -- but they may be waiting in the wings for later this week. So, stay tuned.  Watch this: First look at Apple's 10.2-inch iPad 2:29 The discounts on the newer iPad Mini and iPad Air are still pretty negligible. We'd recommend waiting for the next round of deals to come through before buying either one of them. Note that we're focused on the Wi-Fi versions of the iPad here. Using LTE on a tablet is cool but, for most people, not worth the additional cost -- for the device and the monthly service -- especially when you can easily tether your phone for free. Apple iPad discounts, compared
 This is a good deal on an older version of Apple's iPad Pro. Yes, the discount was up to $400 last week. And, yes, this 10.5-inch iPad was released in 2017. But still. Walmart's loaded configuration (512GB of storage, Apple's A10X processor) is a bargain at $699 -- even in 2019. Read our 10.5-inch iPad Pro review.  Last week, Best Buy had the best price we'd seen on the 64GB model, with a $300 discount. That deal is gone. But Amazon is currently offering a $100 discount on it -- and every other 12.9-inch iPad -- which brings the entry-level model down to $899. Read our iPad Pro review.  The smallest model in the current iPad lineup comes with the smallest discount. You can find the iPad Mini at most retailers for $384 -- that's $15 off the Apple Store list price.
