The HP ENVY Inspire printer offers new photo-printing capabilities like a dedicated photo tray and custom two-sided printing, allowing you to create cards, for example, with text on one side and an image on the other. With quiet mode, you can print without disturbing others in your home or workspace, HP says, and the printer is constructed from recycled plastic. Additionally, the printer is Wi-Fi-equipped — with the HP Smart App, you can print from your phone, tablet or laptop remotely, as well as send and store files. Its new Smart Driver also automatically reroutes print jobs whether the printer is connected to Wi-Fi or a VPN. HP ENVY Inspire’s 7900e series is the first to launch and additional models will be released in 2022.

As Black Friday and Cyber Monday get closer, we’ll see more deals and sales across categories. You can shop sales on kitchenware, skincare and more this week.
As we get closer to Thanksgiving weekend, more brands and retailers will begin their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, and some will expand their offerings to include additional deals. The ongoing pandemic is causing retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl’s and more to close their doors for in-person shopping on Thanksgiving once again, but online sales and deal events are plentiful and have been for weeks. Consumers have shown interest in shopping early in recent years, and this year is no different. Global supply chain issues have sparked concern around shipping delays, low inventory and other challenges, motivating many people to buy gifts with the holidays coming up. If you’re interested in a product discounted now, experts we’ve spoken to advise purchasing it — if it’s sold out, it may not come back in stock quickly.
To make sure you’re prepared for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, we’re bringing you information about retailer-specific sales and rounding up worthwhile deals using price trackers like Honey and CamelCamelCamel. We’re also talking to experts about their shopping tips, and advice for using different payment options. Here are some resources to get started from our Black Friday and Cyber Monday hubs — we’ll be regularly updating you with more coverage:
