Roku is raising prices across its hardware lineup, with the Roku Ultra now $150 (up from $100) and the Streaming Stick $40 (up from $30). The moves come as Roku cites higher memory costs and AI-driven component shortages, noting the price increases are a response to tighter supply while still positioning itself to attract manufacturers amid a broader memory crunch.
Android Authority’s Joe Maring spends a month with Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro (2026) and concludes it’s a standout value at $60 that can rival the Google TV Streamer: it delivers Dolby Vision/Atmos, 32GB storage, a feature-packed remote with Find My Remote, and a USB-A port, plus solid performance on a Wi‑Fi 6 box. Still, it’s not perfect: 100Mbps Ethernet, only 3GB RAM, and only modest upgrades over the 2024 model. For many buyers the Onn 4K Pro (2026) offers better value than the $100 Google TV Streamer, though power users may still prefer Google’s box for the faster Ethernet, more RAM, and quicker updates.
Elgato’s Stream Deck Plus (eight buttons, an LCD display, and four knobs) is discounted to $160 at Amazon (20% off), with a white version at $170. It integrates with OBS and many apps to run macros, switch layouts, and trigger multiple actions, making it a versatile shortcut hub for streamers and general productivity, from Premiere edits to in-app toolbars.
