5 Best Monitors for the Mac Mini (2025), Tested and Reviewed
The Mac Mini is a fantastic little computer, but you'll need one of these great monitors to complete the setup. The Mac Mini is unbeatable in value . But unlike an iMac or MacBook, you'll need to pair it with a monitor. Apple has a couple of options: the Apple Studio Display and Pro Display XDR, but both are incredibly expensive (not to mention a few years old at this point). Fortunately, there are tons of great monitors out there that fit well into the Apple ecosystem. Be sure to check our Best Apple Desktops, Best MacBooks, Best Monitors, and Best Gaming Monitors guides for more.

99 Best Prime Day Deals of 2025--All Personally Tested By Us
Amazon Prime Day is now four days. The Prime Day deals started dropping last month, reached a fever pitch today, and will go on through Friday. We'll be dangerously caffeinated and working in shifts covering 20 hours a day through the end. The WIRED Reviews team only recommends deals on products we've actually tested and approved, and which are actually discounted. If you're looking for up-to-the-minute coverage of deals, check out our Amazon Prime Day liveblog, which will run from 5 am to midnight daily. Deals on computers, routers, monitors, tablets, keyboards, and more. The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a good Android tablet. Where it really shines, though, is its ability to be paired with the charging speaker dock to transform into a smart speaker when you aren't using it as a tablet. Right now, only the tablet version is on sale, and it's a good price if you want to buy it for the sharp screen and overall solid performance. Enjoy simple, set-and-forget Wi-Fi courtesy of Amazon's Eero mesh systems. The tri-band Eero Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) adds 6 GHz to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, for fast and dependable Wi-Fi. The Eero Plus subscription is expensive ( 10 per month or 100 per year) but includes comprehensive parental controls, advanced security, ad blocking, and even a password manager and VPN service. As the budget pick in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems guide, the Deco X20 is already a bargain. This Wi-Fi 6 dual-band mesh (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) is easy to set up and delivered solid results in my tests. It's not the speediest mesh, but if your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, it's likely enough.

It's not the speediest mesh, but if your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, it's likely enough. Each router has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and the vaselike design blends in easily on shelves or tables. This tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system from TP-Link scores a place in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems guide. Easy to set up and configure through the mobile app, each unit has one 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and two gigabit ports. It offers fast speeds at close range on the 6-GHz band, but was also fast on 5 GHz, and offered a decent range on 2.4 GHz. There are optional subscriptions for parental controls and enhanced security. Cheap laptops don't have to be terrible, and the HP Chromebook Plus x360 proves it. While there are more premium Chromebooks out there, none sell for so little on discount. It has a 14-inch 1080p screen, and unlike some Chromebooks at this price, it also comes with enough RAM and storage.
