Happy New Year and welcome to the first UK daily deals round-up! This is a chance for me to pull together the best tech and gaming deals available right now into one easily digestible daily dose of savings.

We are in the midst of CES 2022, which to people like me means one thing: surprise special offers. As new tech gets announced, you’ll spot plenty of big price cuts on stuff you can get right now. For today, this includes a near-£700 saving on a fully-specced Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 with RTX 3080, £100 off the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and 34% off the WD Black SN850 SSD (that works with PS5).

A number of emotions can be reproduced with Reeti using an interface that is easy to use by medical staff. Research with Reeti is led by a child psychiatrist to encourage communication with autistic children. Children with autistic disorders concentrate more with a robot who can endlessly, and without getting bored, repeat attitudes that represent easily identifiable emotions. Reeti can also talk. This robot would be an ideal neuropsychiatric medium. (Photo by: BSIP/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
