For starters, you can get the MacBook Air 13' (M2/256GB) for $699 at Best Buy. While it's no longer the latest model, this is a stellar price for a very capable laptop that will last you years.
Plus, the LG 48-inch C4 4K OLED TV is on sale for $899 at Best Buy ($200 off.) This is the same price Best Buy is charging for the 42-inch model right now, so it's almost like you're getting a size upgrade for free.

Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen from Best Buy. By comparison, Amazon is offering a similar sale with prices from $69.Price check: from $69 @ Amazon | from $74 @ Walmart
Laptop sale: up to $400 off @ Best BuyRight now Best Buy is taking up to $400 off select Windows laptops. The sale includes laptops from HP, Samsung, Lenovo and more.
Who says TVs have to cost a fortune? This 50-inch Insignia TV offers impressive image quality no matter what you're watching. Thanks to its built-in Fire TV features, you can also stream all your favorite shows and movies and control them with your voice thanks to full Alexa support.
Hisense is setting a new bar for value with its U6QF Mini-LED TV, which drops Google TV in favor of Fire TV. You still get an awesome suite of features built on a 144Hz refresh rate with HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support. As one of the cheapest options to get for gaming, the U6QF is a powerful display for PC gamers leveraging tons of brightness.
The LG C4 OLED is powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said the content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the C4 series. Just note the newer LG C5 OLED is now available.
Part of LG's 2025 TV lineup, the LG C5 OLED is here as the value pick of the year. Offering a slew of features, like a range of HDR certifications and gaming specs for the PS5 Pro crowd, the C5 proves a major improvement over its predecessor. We called it "nearly flawless" and gave it a 5-star rating in our LG C5 OLED TV review.
Now $300 off, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X makes for a fantastic personal laptop, especially at this price. It's Snapdragon X processor ensures, well, snappy performance and long battery life, and its 16GB of RAM and 256GB is enough everyday tasks. Throw in its 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display with a 60Hz refresh rate, and it also makes for decent binge-watching.
The MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops because it's remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount. Just note that the newer MacBook Air M4 is out now.
This is the one of the best Copilot+ PC deals available! This 14-inch thin and light laptop features a Snapdragon X Elite for impressive performance and power efficiency, complemented by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Our Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot Plus review called this "the best Surface in years." It's powered by a speedy X Elite processor and also packs a gorgeous OLED display, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's super thin and light and has great battery life — our unit lasted over 12 hours in our battery life tests. Note: this deal is for the device only and doesn't include a keyboard or stylus.
Having a precise, sharp gaming mouse is key to success — especially if you play competitive shooters. This mouse features a wired connection for lower latency, up to 25,600 max DPI sensitivity and 11 customizable buttons with up to 5 different profiles to switch between.
MLB The Show is back with a new roster, game modes and more. Our MLB The Show 25 review mentioned that while there are some upgrades in tow, there probably isn't enough new content here to entice players who already have The Show 23 or 24. But if you haven't played in a couple of years, this version of the big-hitting baseball franchise is tons of fun.
The Lenovo Legion Go is on the higher end of PC gaming handheld tech, which makes its lower price even more stunning. On top, you've got that gorgeous 8.8-inch display with 144Hz refresh rate, and those detachable controllers (plus built-in kickstand) for quick multiplayer action. Whereas inside, you'll find that powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
Wireless earbuds have come a long way, and now, you can get a solid-sounding pair of buds for under $25. While not all budget earbuds are up to par, the JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are an ace pick. They got a 4-star rating in our Jlab Go Air Pop review for their satisfying sound, 7-hour battery life and IPX4 water resistance rating.
Anker makes some of the best budget headphones we've tested, and the Soundcore Q20i follow in that tradition. They feature 2 internal and 2 external mics that work in tandem to detect external noise and effectively reduce up to 90% of it, such as planes and car engines. These active noise canceling headphones also offer up to 40 hours of battery life.
The AirPods 4 are a very solid earbud option if you're an iPhone user who doesn't want to spend a lot on the AirPods Pro 2. We loved these in our AirPods 4 review, rating them 4 stars. We particularly like how they interconnect with all your Apple devices, including Macs, iPads and iPhones like magic. They sound good too — although if you're looking for active noise canceling, you'll want the more expensive pair.
Get ready for the Super Bowl with one of the best air fryers we've tested. In our Ninja Foodi DualZone Air Fryer review, we loved that we could cook two things at different temperatures or open it up to cook a lot of one food — it's great for when you have a lot of guests.
The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist has a refillable misting tank onboard to make you instantly cool. It can act as both corded or cordless, with a up to 24 hour running time (depending on what speed setting you use). Its portable design means you can take advantage of the mist spray both indoor or out.
This KitchenAid 5.5 Quart stand mixer has a massive reduction of $130, and is probably the lowest price we've seen so far. With its 3-point locking bowl lift feature, it's super sturdy to tackle heavier quantities, and makes it easier to add ingredients. It comes with 11 speeds including a ½ speed for high to low control. With an impressive saving, this deal won't last long — so hurry!

Bank of America raises price on Amazon ahead of earnings

Bank of America is getting bullish on Amazon ahead of the e-commerce giant's earnings release, saying the company is getting ready to unlock its full artificial intelligence potential in the back half of the year. Analyst Justin Post reiterated his buy rating on Amazon and lifted his price target by $17 to $265. That suggests shares could gain 16.5% from their previous close. Amazon, which is set to report financial results on July 31, has seen shares rise 3.7% year to date. Post hiked his estimates for strong second-quarter retail data and Anthropic AI growth, and said his estimates for the quarter remain above the Street given strong e-commerce data, longer Prime DAy sales and currency tailwinds. Heading into the second half of the year, the analyst expects strong AI demand and Amazon Web Services capacity growth to be a key stock driver. To be sure, he anticipates AWS growth in the second quarter to reflect a slight deceleration from the first. "Amazon's YTD commentary on AWS capacity constraints, plus recent competitor Cloud revenue acceleration has likely elevated Street focus on AWS," Post wrote in a Wednesday note to clients. "We think 2Q Retail is setting up for a solid quarter, plus a strong 1Q for AWS backlog and accelerating quarterly AWS capex spending should drive accelerating 2H AWS growth." "We think the most important commentary on the call will be 2H outlook for AWS growth (if provided), investors could become impatient on returns for ramping quarterly AWS capex spend given competitor acceleration," Post added. Looking ahead, the analyst said this year's longer Prime Day event and consumer resilience could drive a strong third-quarter outlook. Tariff uncertainty remains a key risk for the stock, he said. Amazon previously called out "tariffs and trade policies" and "recessionary fears" among several factors that could make its guidance subject to change. The tech giant topped earnings and revenue expectations for the first quarter, but had given light guidance for the second.

Back to school season is underway and while laptop deals can be found everywhere, Best Buy is offering some of the most aggressive deals I've seen all summer. For a limited time, Best Buy has Windows laptops on sale from $549. Many of the systems on sale are AI laptops, which are great for students because these machines tend to offer better-than-average power efficiency. That means you can spend more time using cloud-based chatbots like ChatGPT without depleting your machine's battery life.

That should be more than enough power for multitasking and the 16-inch screen will make it a great option for your Netflix binges. This svelte PC packs enough style to make Mac fans jealous. Under the hood you'll find a Snapdragon X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. We especially like the 14-inch 1920 x 1200 display, which helps keep this laptop svelte and portable at just 3.2 lbs. Dell's Inspiron line is one of the first laptops to join the AI PC revolution. The new Inspiron 14 Plus features a 14-inch QHD display, Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It's great for basic AI tasks that aren't too graphics heavy. This monster of an ultraportable packs plenty of performance and power efficiency, thanks to that Core Ultra 7 chipset — all inside a slim and sleek aluminum chassis with a gorgeous 14-inch 2K display.
