Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE

We know what you’re thinking: If you already have a laptop, why on Earth would you need a tablet? And that’s actually a pretty good point, but we’re big proponents of having both. (Hellow portability!) Plus, they’re fun to use — who doesn’t love a good touchscreen?

If you’re thinking of hopping on the tablet train and don’t want to immediately jump to an iPad, we think the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is a fantastic alternative. At the time of this writing, you can get one on sale at Best Buy for up to $150 off the original price, and it comes with some fun extras including three-month subscriptions to Xbox Game Pass, YouTube Premium, and a six-month membership to Norton 360. (Amazon also has the Galaxy Tab S7 FE on sale for the same price, but you won’t be getting the bonus perks.)

While newer versions of the Galaxy Tab have since been released, the S7 is still a more-than-worthy tablet for plenty of people. It comes with a large, high-quality touchscreen, which is paired with Samsung’s fan-favorite S Pen — perfect for taking notes, drawing doodles, and regular web browsing. The battery life is also pretty impressive, clocking in at around 12 hours on a single charge (that’s comparable to most iPads, if not better). It’s all brought together by the device’s Qualcomm SM7225 Octa-Core processor, which will allow you to work, browse, and stream at the speeds you’d expect from a great tablet.

The Nun II — the next chapter in the story of The Nun and the latest in The Conjuring universe — is now on streaming.

While we thought Valak, the evil demon that casually disguises itself as a nun, was defeated at the end of The Nun by Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and Father Burke (Demian Bichir), that is unfortunately not the case. The Nun II takes place four years later when mysterious deaths begin popping up throughout Europe. Once again, Sister Irene is tasked with taking on Valak and attempting to get rid of them once and for all.

Farmiga is joined again by Jonas Bloquet as Maurice, along with Storm Reid as Sister Debra, Anna Popplewell as Kate, and Bonnie Aarons as the titular demon nun. The film was originally released in theaters on Sept. 8 (and is still in select theaters nationwide) and met with mixed reviews. “The Nun II never quite reaches the terrifying heights of those early Conjuring films, but it does have more creepy moments than its predecessor,” Kimber Myers wrote in Mashable’s own film review.

If you’re looking for jump scares to add to your Halloween watchlist, The Nun II definitely delivers. Get a sneak peek at the sequel in the official trailer below, then read on to learn more about how to watch the newest addition to The Conjuring universe.

Where is The Nun II streaming?

You can still head to select theaters to watch The Nun II on the big screen, but as of Oct. 27, you can also watch the spooky flick from your couch. In order to stream it on the small screen, you’ll have to sign up for Max — HBO’s premium streaming service. Subscriptions start at $9.99/month and there’s currently no free trial, but we’ve rounded up your best options for saving money. Conveniently, every other film in The Conjuring universe (minus The Conjuring 2) is available to stream on Max as well, so you can plan a full movie marathon with a single service (which is more uncommon than you think).

Best Max streaming deals

Best for most people: save 17% on a Max With Ads annual subscription

A basic Max subscription with ads will cost you $9.99/month and let you watch The Nun II (as well as other films in The Conjuring universe), then be on your merry way. If you remember to cancel before your month is up, you’ll avoid auto-renewal charges the following month. While this won’t exactly save you any money, it’ll prevent unnecessary spending. If you want more bang for your buck, you can save 17% by signing up for an entire year at once for $99.99. That breaks down to only $8.33/month instead of $9.99 and lets you watch as much as you want all year without worrying about canceling by a certain date.

Best with no ads: save 22% on a Max Ad-Free annual subscription


Max Ad-Free

$149.99/year (save 22%)



For those who can’t stand dealing with ads, you can save even more if you opt for a Max Ad-Free annual subscription. It’s typically $15.99/month for the Ad-Free subscription, but when you sign up for a year instead, it’ll cost you just $149.99 (just $12.49/month). That’s about 22% in total savings and you won’t have to worry about canceling by a certain time to avoid automatic charges each month.

Best for Cricket customers: free Max with ads for customers on the $60/month unlimited plan

Max with ads

free for AT&T customers on select wireless plans (save $9.99/month)



Existing AT&T customers on select wireless and internet plans are eligible to get Max for free as well. If you haven’t already, go check your account to see if you’re eligible.

The following wireless plans give users access to Max (with ads) for free: AT&T Unlimited Elite, AT&T Unlimited PlusSM, AT&T Unlimited Plus EnhancedSM, AT&T Unlimited ChoiceSM, AT&T Unlimited Choice IISM, AT&T Unlimited Choice EnhancedSM, AT&T Unlimited &MoreSM Premium. Unfortunately, Max is no longer offered to new customers, so if you changed your plan recently or terminate your service, you’ll lose access.

If you purchased AT&T Fiber Internet 1000, 2000, or 5000 within specific date ranges, you also receive access to Max at no extra charge. The promotion ended on June 5, 2022, so if you’ve moved your service or changed your plan since then, your Max benefit is no longer valid. You can learn more about eligibility over on the AT&T Max Sign-in FAQ page.
