Thursday ran from a $34.99 wall charger to a $102,400 titanium skull, with a Death Star moonphase, a dial sliced from a meteorite, a hockey-puck desktop and a robot that still can’t pass the butter in between. Fourteen picks carry the day, and the cuts are real ones.

Start with the savings, because two of them clear $350.

The Lenovo mini desktop lost $460, an espresso machine is $350 under list, and four more picks sit at 31% off or better. Full-price pieces earn their slots on nerve. Here’s the day, piece by piece.



A mini PC the size of a hockey puck just dropped $460

Lenovo’s Yoga Mini packs a Core Ultra 5 325, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD into a 0.65-liter aluminum puck, and Best Buy cut it from $1,059.99 to $599.99. That’s $460 off, 43%, and the lowest price this machine has carried.

It drives two 4K monitors easily off those Thunderbolt ports and sips power the way a laptop does.

Dual Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5GbE port cover the desk work, and the whole computer hides behind the monitor it drives, 0.65 liters of it tucked out of sight.

Anker’s 67W GaN charger drops $15 to $34.99

Anker’s Prime 67W packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A into a GaNPrime cube, with 67W from a single port and 64.5W shared when all three are working at once. Amazon has it at $34.99 against a $49.99 list, the cheapest powered pick on this page. The prongs fold flat and the whole charger weighs 4.78 ounces, so it lives in the bag instead of the desk drawer.

The espresso machine carrying the biggest cut in today’s comparison

Three espresso machines went head to head, and the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo took the value slot at $549.95 against an $899.95 list. The LatteCrema carafe froths milk, seven recipes sit one touch away, and the brew group lifts right out to rinse under the tap.

The Ninja Luxe Café Premier runs $574.88 and the Breville Barista Express sits at $684.99. De’Longhi undercuts both while carrying the deepest discount of the three. The Ninja leans on grind guidance and a built-in scale, the Breville on a 16-setting grinder, so the Evo wins this table on price and automation rather than on toys.

Orion’s smallest watch yet cuts its dial from a meteorite

Orion’s Hellcat 36 is the brand’s smallest watch at 36.5mm, and the Dark Meteorite dial is a slice of real meteorite carrying white printed elements over the crystal pattern grown inside the metal. A Miyota 9039 automatic runs it behind a sapphire display caseback, and the Dark Meteorite run stops at 20 pieces.

The same 36.5mm case carries a Deep Purple dial at $765 and black mother of pearl at $835, so the meteorite premium is a choice rather than the entry fee.

A USA-made crossbar folder at 2.3 ounces for $89.75

Kershaw builds the Bonneville in the USA around a DuraLock crossbar, so your fingers stay clear of the edge on the close. The 3.2-inch 14C28N blade takes a thin hollow grind, the whole knife weighs 2.3 ounces, and Amazon has it at $89.75 against a $159.99 list.

That’s 44% off a USA-made folder with a slicing grind, and few knives under $90 can say three. The clip rides deep and the knife disappears in a pocket. The textured handle fills the hand on long cuts. Kershaw’s DuraLock bar runs across the handle spine, so the lock hand never crosses the blade path on the close at all.

The Butter Bot is real, it shipped, and it costs $349

CircuitMess built the Rick and Morty Butter Bot as a pre-assembled robot with a camera face, voice control and six hot-swap modules, plus a controller that looks like a circuit board with a joystick. You code it in CircuitBlocks or C++, and it retails at $349.

It still can’t pass the butter. That was the joke, and at $349 it ships in a box with modules. CircuitMess sells it as a coding toy first and a cartoon prop second, which is the right order. Everybody involved seems fine with that.
