Amazing Deal Galaxy A16 banner Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Samsung

Whether you’re yet to begin or already finished with your taxes, one thing is for sure: You deserve something good from a bit of your refund dollars. And, with one report saying that filers are getting as much as $3,453 or more, you could possibly be getting something great from the whole ordeal. But what should you buy? It always helps to go with the deals. Much like the best productivity apps, a majority of these deals should help you get things done around the (home) office in addition to being a bit of fun.

Microsoft Surface Pro Device + Keyboard bundle — $1,050 $1,350 22% off

If you want one of the best tablets for business, you’ll quickly realize that you might want a keyboard along with it. One of the greatest parts about the Microsoft Surface Pro 11, as well as one of its biggest drawbacks, is its keyboard. See, normally, the keyboard comes separately (it is fully detachable) and that can seriously jack up the price. However, if you get this bundled deal you can get both components in one helpful box and even save yourself $300.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might not see much of a battery upgrade after all
It looks like it will stay the same as the last five years.
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
