The iPad mini 7 is back on sale for $100 off
The iPad mini 7 is once again on sale for $100 off via Amazon. This applies to every design variation, so the 128GB standard model is now $400 and the 512GB Wi-Fi/cellular version is $850. However, not all of the colors have been blessed by the discount fairy. Most colorways get a discount of some kind, but it may not apply to all of the hardware variations.
Apple's latest and greatest diminutive tablet easily found a place on our list of the best iPads. It's a solid refresh without any real tradeoffs when compared to the full-sized tablet. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, the A17 Pro chip is plenty powerful and the overall design is comfortable to hold. It's an iPad mini.
We called it a 'solid and necessary update to the best small tablet on the market' in our official review. We came away impressed by the stereo speakers, which sound much better than one would expect. The display is nice, despite maxing out at a 60Hz refresh rate, and the camera array takes surprisingly decent shots, even in low light. It's great for everyday computing tasks and, of course, for playing mobile games like Balatro.
This model doesn't include an M-series chip, though the A17 Pro is plenty powerful. Also, the battery life isn't going to be winning any awards. We struggled to squeeze ten hours of it. This model also lacks Face ID, which could be an issue for some users. Beyond these minor nitpicks, however, this is a near-perfect teensy tablet.

My 3 Favorite Stocks to Buy Right Now
Roku is a long-term growth play with recent volatility and a promising ad partnership with Amazon. Costco continues to deliver market-beating returns, justifying its premium price tag. Target is a risky turnaround story, priced for pessimism but showing signs of a strategic comeback. 10 stocks we like better than Roku › The stock market has been less predictable than usual lately. As I'm writing this on June 20, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index is up only 1.5% year to date. But this mellow return included a deep dip in April, so the index has gained 24% from the bottom of its 52-week low. So, things are extra volatile this year, and I understand if you'd rather keep some cash on hand right now. But even now, a few stocks can inspire me to put my extra cash to work. Read on to see why my hand hovers over the "buy" button for Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU), Costco (NASDAQ: COST), and Target (NYSE: TGT) in June 2025. Media-streaming technology veteran Roku has had quite a ride lately. Its stock price shot up by 50% over the past year but has taken a slight detour more recently, dropping 3% in the last six months. The growth story is still alive and well, with excitement over new deals, such as the recent Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) ad partnership, keeping optimism afloat. However, the company still isn't showing a profit, so valuation ratios based on profitability don't make any sense. Instead, you can look at Roku's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, which sits at a reasonable 2.8. That metric floated in double-digit territory four years ago. For now, Roku is acting a bit like the kid in class who has tons of potential but hasn't quite turned in the homework -- yet. The platform is growing, and recent partnerships could be a game changer, but the market wants to see proof that all these moves will translate to real, scalable profits. That's why Roku's stock looks cheap in this period of growth-focused operations and limited profits. If you're in it for the long haul and don't mind a few twists and turns, Roku still looks like a compelling candidate for a growth-focused portfolio. It's one of the few stocks I don't mind buying right now since its short-term price moves tend to be unpredictable anyway. This is a long-term growth idea. Wholesale warehouse retailer Costco is a different story. The stock has been soaring for years, lifting the P/S ratio to a lofty 1.6. That would be low in the high-growth media-streaming market, but Costco's valuation looks luxurious next to other large-scale retailers. But the stock is rising for good reasons. The company has more cash and less debt than sector giant Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Trailing sales are up 61% over the last five years, while Walmart's sales increased by only 26%. Costco's return on invested capital is 26%, nearly twice that of Walmart's 14% reading. Long story short, Costco runs a superior business, and its stock deserves a price premium. This stock looked expensive five years ago, with a 5-year price gain of 114% at the time. By comparison, the S&P rose 47%, and Walmart gained 65% over the same time span. But if you cashed in your Costco gains or sat on your hands in 2020, you've missed out on a market-beating 227% return in the last 5 years: Costco's stock isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for -- a world-class retailer with a history of great shareholder returns. Last but not least, fellow big-box retailer Target tells another compelling story. Target's stock is down 21% in 5 years, and the P/S ratio stands at a skimpy 0.4. If investors are paying extra for Costco's incredible performance, they're stuffing Target shares in Wall Street's bargain bin. This is a turnaround story, not a march to ever greater heights. Turnarounds are risky, but this one should have a happy ending. The company is no longer competing against Walmart and Costco on lower prices, but is refocusing on the affordable-luxury status it once held. The new strategy leans on the nearly forgotten "Tar-zhay" branding. "In a world where shopping has become less inspiring, consumers expect us to be the place they can recapture the joy of retail," CEO Brian Cornell said in the fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call. "Our guests are looking for Tar-zhay. Consumers coined that term decades ago to define how we elevate the everything, every day to something special, how we add unexpected fun into shopping that would be otherwise routine." So, Target is betting the barn on a better shopping experience. The stores need to feel friendlier than Costco's or Walmart's low-cost emporiums. Nobody likes an empty shelf, so popular items must always be in stock -- even if it costs more to run a more complete supply chain. And the Target Circle loyalty program can't be all about discounts, which is why it also offers personalized product recommendations and extended product returns. Target's stock is priced for absolute disaster, but I see good things happening in the turnaround effort. It's a risky bet, but one worth making in the summer of 2025.

If I Could Buy Only 1 "Magnificent 7" Stock Over the Next Year, Alphabet Would Be It, but Here's the Key Reason
Alphabet shares have dipped 2% over the past year, while most "Magnificent Seven" stocks posted double-digit percentage gains. Market leaders like Nvidia and Microsoft may look flashier, but Alphabet could offer better value. A tasty combination of affordable shares and artificial intelligence (AI) expertise sets this stock apart from the rest. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › The "Magnificent Seven" moniker was originally intended as a warning to long-term investors. Remember, the movie by the same name doesn't have the happiest of endings, and the tragedy made sense as a metaphor for potential market bubbles. Still, the Magnificent Seven group keeps setting the tone for the overall stock market, and most of these stocks are market darlings in 2025, with double-digit price gains over the last 52 weeks. But Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is lagging behind with a 2% price dip over the last year, and the stock looks downright undervalued in many ways. It's the only Magnificent Seven stock I have bought this year, for one simple reason: It's the best combination of affordable shares and unbeatable artificial intelligence (AI) expertise in this elite group. The other Magnificent Seven companies may have a leg up on Alphabet in the AI market so far. Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) profitable sales growth is unbeatable. Revenue-based market shares suggest that the cloud computing solutions from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are running circles around Google Cloud. But those proven and promised results are firmly baked into the stock prices. Nvidia stock trades at 47 times earnings and 49 times free cash flows today. Microsoft and Amazon have P/E ratios in the mid-30s and cash flow multiples well above Nvidia's. At the same time, Alphabet stock looks affordable at 19 times earnings and 28 times free cash flows. The numbers never tell the whole story, and there's more to say about Alphabet's long-term growth opportunities. From AI services to quantum computing systems, the company was built to thrive amid ever-changing markets and unexpected economy jolts. But the modest stock valuation is a great starting point for further research.
