Solar eclipse accessories, Apple iPad Pro, Google Home, and more great tech deals

, , Comments Off on Solar eclipse accessories, Apple iPad Pro, Google Home, and more great tech deals

You’ve probably already heard that a total solar eclipse will travel across the United States from coast to coast on August 21st, and that it’s going to be perhaps the biggest celestial event of the decade. (For more information, we’re sharing everything you need to know about the celestial phenomenon.)

There are some great deals this week — including discounts on computers, tablets, headphones, and more — but perhaps one of our favorites is the Lunt Solar System products (binoculars and telescopes) at B&H, allowing you to safely view the eclipse. There aren’t many deals on solar glasses (they’re selling out fast at full price), but it’s still possible to get some in time. Just make sure to buy ISO-certified glasses from trusted manufactures, like this 10-pack from American Paper Optics.

Without further ado, here’s our favorite sales of the week:
