'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Woot's new sale includes all the travel tech you could possibly need
It's true that now summer is over, so are summer trips, but that doesn't mean we've all stopped traveling altogether.
Over the upcoming holidays, we may be planning to meet friends and family for Thanksgiving, or intending to fly over the Christmas period -- and the right power banks, earbuds, and laptops can make the experience more convenient and enjoyable.
However, even if this isn't the case, now is a great time to pick up gadgets and accessories for your 2023 trips with Woot's current travel tech sale.
One of the discounts on offer is for the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go, a Wi-Fi 6/LTE Chromebook perfect for trips when you're traveling light. The laptop tends to retail for up to $439, depending on configuration, and Amazon-owned Woot is offering 25% off, bringing the cost down to $329.
The thin, lightweight 2021 Chromebook (Verizon only) comes equipped with a 14" LED (1366x768) display, an Intel Celeron N4500 processor (1.1GHz), 4GB RAM, and 32GB eMMC storage. Granted, the specifications are far from the best, but the device has been designed to withstand the movement, knocks, and bumps likely while you're traveling.
Users can expect up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge.
