We've waxed poetic about Brother laser printers countless times, but if you're still fighting an old Inkjet at your house, you've got two great options to upgrade today.

Both of these printers support Google Cloud Print and AirPrint, and both use long-lasting toner cartridges, rather than expensive ink. Plus, after factoring in the gift card, both essentially cost $80. The only real difference is the scanner/copier bed on the HL-2380DW, so unless it sells out, or if you need something more compact, that's probably the one to get.

Brother HL-2380DW Wireless 3in1 Laser Printer plus $30 Gift Card ($110) | Best Buy

Brother HL-L2360DW Wireless Compact Laser Printer plus $20 Gift Card ($100) | Best Buy

The humble Raspberry Pi has been inspiring clever hacks for years, but it's never too late to pick one up to play around with yourself, especially at these prices.

We've found three great bundle deals featuring the new Raspberry Pi Model B+, which mercifully includes 4 USB ports. For starters, $37 will get you the computer, a Wi-Fi dongle, and even a basic case. Up your spend to $50, and you'll get a microSD card, a nicer case, an HDMI cable, and a power supply. And if you want to use the Pi to control various real-world items, a $60 bundle adds in a breadboard, cables, LEDs, and other sundries to take your hacking to the next level.

If you need some inspiration, Lifehacker has written approximately 17 billion articles on the Pi, including a beginner's guide, instructions to turn it into a retro gaming console, and a ton of other fun project ideas to get you started. [Amazon]
