I love my robot vacuum (it's a Dreame; all of my floor care products are), and I've been trying to convince my mom to get the lawn mower equivalent so she doesn't have to spend her time sweating outside. I haven't yet, but I'm not giving up.

If you're ready to switch from manual to robotic mowing, the Dreame A3 AWD 1000 LiDAR Robot Lawn Mower is currently down to $1,259.99 on Amazon when you clip the 10% on-screen coupon. That's a $940.99 savings. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model to date.

Instead of burying perimeter wires or dealing with finicky RTK antennas, the A3 AWD 1000 maps a quarter-acre yard on its own using 3D LiDAR and AI vision. Its all-wheel-drive system can handle steep 80 percent slopes without stalling, and it actively dodges whatever's left in the grass (like garden hoses and dog toys). Plus, when the battery gets low, it can go from 0 to 100 percent in just 45 minutes.

(Note: You have to manually click the 10% coupon box on the product page for the discount to apply in your cart!)

When Mashable contributor Lauren Allain (our power station queen) tested the EcoFlow Delta 3 Ultra Plus, she was so impressed by its performance that she gave it a Mashable Selects award.

In her hands-on review, she dubbed it a "workhorse warrior" that handles everything from powering high-draw home appliances like space heaters and microwaves to serving as an off-grid jobsite or camping power hub. It has a 3,072Wh capacity, 3,600W continuous output, a 30-amp RV plug, and an ultra-fast sub-10ms UPS switchover so your home electronics don't flicker during an outage.

Originally listed at $2,199, the EcoFlow Delta 3 Ultra Plus is currently marked down to $1,599. (That's a $600 savings for those of you counting.)

Cyberleek might finally, mercifully, be done sharing Grand Theft Auto VI clips.

On the Cyberleek website, as spotted by Reddit and cited by Kotaku, the person or group of people behind all the recent GTA 6 leaks you may have seen on your social feeds appeared to call it quits. According to the post, the leaker's threat to release a full build of the game will seemingly go unfulfilled, as they did not meet the $30 million market value goal for their memecoin. However, the post did imply that there is a "dead man's switch" in place that will release the build, or some other kind of spoiler content, if anyone tries to "remove" Cyberleek.

SEE ALSO: Report indicates 'GTA 6' launching on PC in early 2027

"CL has the ending. It was considered. It would punish Take-Two greatly - but ruin the experience for the gamers, who did nothing wrong," the post said. "Take-Two would show CL no mercy - why should CL show any to them? Still: Take-Two was punished enough. The ending stays unpublished. Proof: the latest leek - clips from the final missions, out of context, revealing nothing. The dead man's switch is active - story spoilers only. Left alone, it never fires. Whoever removes CL chooses it."

Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive, the makers of GTA 6, have already subpoenaed Google, Microsoft, X, and Discord in their efforts to unmask and stop Cyberleek.

The leaker's post went on to defend the meme-coin at the center of the leaks, claiming it was not a "rugpull."

“CL was transparent about the token from day one: a donation, never an investment," Cyberleek said. "It changed nothing – influencers decided the story before the facts arrived. The Edict stands. The leeks stop here. For now.”

Over the past few months, the anonymous leaker has posted roughly 20 or so out-of-context clips that mostly showed the game's protagonists driving around and/or beating up NPCs, although the leaker did start sharing some story spoilers. By the end, they were showing both protagonists rendered completely nude, but it's arguable that none of the leaks told us as much about the game as Rockstar's own Netflix trailer did in August.

Regardless, it seems like this Cyberleek saga is over for the time being. It's only about a month until the game launches on Nov. 19, and gamers can preorder the game ahead of its release.

SAVE $40: As of Oct. 14, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni wireless gaming headset is on sale at Amazon for $359.99 instead of $399.99. That's 10% in savings, its biggest discount to date.

With the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI launch next month, you might be looking to upgrade your gaming setup. As you overhaul your gear, a great headset is not to be overlooked. It can pull you deeper into the worlds on screen, enhance communication, and make for a more immersive experience overall. While there are a ton of options on the market, it doesn't get much better than upgrading to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni.

The Nova Pro Omni headset is expensive, but as of Oct. 14, you can save $40 on it at Amazon. That knocks about 10% off the $399.99 price tag, bringing the new total to $359.99. Sure, that's still a pretty big investment, but it's the lowest price to date.

Mashable's sister site PCMag crowned the Nova Pro Omni as "the best, most flexible gaming headset overall." It's an excellent follow-up to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, which Mashable contributor Ben Williams raved about in his review. It has a base station that lets you connect up to three devices over USB-C, dual batteries to keep you from having to plug it in, an excellent ClearCast Pro microphone, impressive ANC, and it's comfortable. Redditors also concluded it's the better option for pretty much anyone (except maybe extreme audiophiles) over the Nova Elite.

If you're willing to invest a hefty chunk of cash into a wireless headset, the Nova Pro Omni is the one to get. And you might as well save $40 while you can. Just imagine how good the GTA VI soundtrack will sound through this.

The person leaking a bunch of gameplay videos of Grand Theft Auto VI may have just revealed the most useful information in all of their leaks.

On the Cyberleek website (per our colleagues at PCMag), one of the latest updates included a threat to release a full build of the game in some form if people on the internet raised the leaker's crypto memecoin to a $30 million market cap. The coin has since crashed and looks like it's not going to get anywhere close to that level, but more importantly, the update included a file size for the playable build they have evidently been taking clips from: 200GB.

SEE ALSO: When will 'GTA 6' launch on PC? We may have good news.

That's obviously a huge number, and makes up more than 20 percent of the usable storage space on a base PS5 or Xbox Series X console. Perhaps surprisingly, it's not as big as some other games, as recent Call of Duty titles clear 200GB by a good margin. But it would still be one of the biggest single-player file sizes we've seen yet, and speaks to the scale and scope of GTA 6.

Of course, this should be taken with at least a tiny bit of skepticism. We don't know much about the build Cyberleek has been leaking footage from. If they do indeed have the full game on hand, it could be an older build that hasn't been fully optimized yet, so the true GTA 6 file size could theoretically be smaller once the actual game comes out on Nov. 19.

But you better start clearing up some space ASAP regardless.

E-Ink displays are pretty magical. They require power to form an image on the screen, but once it's been formed, it doesn't need any additional power for that image to remain in place. I wanted to take advantage of this and turn my Kindle into a calendar that I barely need to charge.

TL;DR: You can get the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Collector's Edition Commander Deck Bundle for $448.26 on Amazon right now. That's a 30% discount or $191.70 in savings.

If you're looking to pick up the all-foil Marvel Commander decks without paying release-day hype prices, the bundle is finally back at a decent discount.

The Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Collector's Edition Commander Deck Bundle is currently down to $448.26 on Amazon (saving you $191). That also beats TCGplayer's current market price of $487.01. It's not quite the lowest price we've ever seen — it hit $415.39 on Oct. 10 — but it's a solid discount if you want to avoid paying full retail.

This Collector's Edition set bundles all four precons: Avengers Assemble, Wakanda Forever, The Fantastic Four, and Doom Prevails. Unlike standard collections, every single card across all four 100-card decks gets the "Surge Foil" treatment (i.e., they're all shiny). Each deck also includes 10 Surge Foil tokens, borderless commander art, 30 exclusive Commander cards featuring Marvel characters, plus a deck box, strategy guide, and reference card for each set.

SAVE UP TO $30: As of Oct. 14, both the Ninja UltraCrush Professional and Ninja Professional Plus Premier Series Blenders are on sale at Amazon for $79.96 (reg. $109.99) and $101.99 (reg. $119.99). That's up to 27% in savings.

Whether you're trying to extend frozen margarita season into the cooler months, add more health-forward smoothies to your diet, or make more adventurous soups and sauces this fall, a good blender will make light work of a tough job. While there's no shortage of excellent picks on the market, we're big fans of Ninja's range. They perform well, are affordably priced, and you can often find them on sale — like today.

As of Oct. 14, the Ninja UltraCrush Professional (BP201) is on sale at Amazon for just $79.96, down from its usual $109.99. That's 27% in savings and matches its best price on record. Another great option, the Ninja Professional Plus Premier Series (BN701BLBRN), is also down to $101.99 from $119.99 — a savings of 15%.

Both blenders include a 72-oz. Total Crushing Pitcher with Ninja's innovative Total Crushing Blades, which deliver consistently smooth results every time. Where they differ is the base. The UltraCrush has a 1,000-watt motor with simple manual controls: low, medium, high, and pulse. The Professional Plus is a bit more powerful at 1,400 watts and features Auto-iQ technology designed to take any guesswork out of drink making. It offers three Auto-iQ presets: smoothie, ice crush, and milkshake. Each preset combines pulsing, blending, and pausing patterns that take on the work for you to create the optimal consistency.

Soup season is calling your name. If you're looking for a blender to elevate your culinary creations, either option will get the job done (and save you some money).

PREORDERS LIVE: Following Apple's major smart home reveal, Amazon preorders for the brand-new Apple HomeView Smart Display ($289.99) and the 4th-Gen Apple TV 4K ($299) are now live ahead of shipping on Nov. 13.

Apple is officially pivoting hard into your living room. Following last month's big iPhone launch, the tech giant returned with a sweeping update to its smart home ecosystem. The new hardware lineup includes the long-awaited HomeView tabletop display, the HomePod mini 2, and collaborative smart home gear built with partners like LG and Schneider Electric.

If you're looking to gear up your ecosystem outside of Apple's direct storefront, Amazon preorders are officially live for two of the lineup's biggest stars: the Apple HomeView Smart Display and the 4th-generation Apple TV 4K.

Apple HomeView Smart Display Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple HomeView $289.99 at Amazon
  Preorder at Amazon

Serving as Apple’s first dedicated smart display and its biggest hardware release since the Vision Pro, the Apple HomeView is built to keep your whole household connected, entertained, and organized from one central spot. It mounts a sharp 7-inch Liquid Retina display onto a domed, HomePod-style speaker base using a stainless steel hinge, so you can easily tilt the screen to get the right angle on a kitchen counter, desk, or nightstand. Powered by the A18 chip and Siri AI backed by Apple Intelligence, it handles hands-free requests natively while keeping your personal data secured on-device.

Using built-in face and voice recognition, it identifies up to six different people and automatically flips to their personal profile — showing your specific calendar, text messages, and reminders the moment you walk up to it.

When you aren't managing your day, the display pumps out rich, room-filling Spatial Audio for music and podcasts, handles hands-free FaceTime calls with Center Stage, and lets you broadcast Intercom messages to other Apple devices around the house. When it's sitting idle, you can deck out the screen with custom clock faces like Snoopy, cycle through your favorite memories via the Photos face, or monitor up to nine security camera feeds simultaneously.

Apple TV 4K (4th Gen) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple TV 4K $299 at Amazon

If you're upgrading your home theater, the 4th-generation Apple TV 4K keeps its familiar black-box design while getting a big internal glow-up. Driven by the A19 chip, it streams buttery-smooth 4K Dolby Vision and HDR10+ with deep contrast and vivid colors that pop on your big screen. Audio gets a massive upgrade, too — Dolby Atmos wraps spatial sound around your living room, and the new Enhance Dialogue feature pulls voice tracks forward so you can actually hear quiet whispers without cranking the volume.

Having Siri AI integrated into the box means searching for content is way smoother, drawing on your personal context and world knowledge so finding a movie or kicking off a playlist takes zero effort. Apple also packed far-field mics right into the box, so you don't even have to reach for a controller — just call out from the couch to pause a movie, check the weather, or dim your smart lights hands-free.

When you do pick up the Siri Remote, it now has Find My with Precision Finding built right in, so you can make it play a loud chime when it inevitably gets swallowed by the couch cushions. Between Apple Fitness+, Arcade, Photos, and FaceTime, it doubles as a total entertainment hub for the whole family.
