Keep coming back to this page for updated deals and discounts on top brands like Apple, Beats, Bose, Sony, Samsung, and more. Now, let's get to the savings, shall we...
At a 20% discount, this is the lowest price we've seen the Apple Mac Mini (2024, M4 Pro) for at Amazon. While we didn't review this model, we did give the Mac Mini Pro a rare "Outstanding" rating and an Editor's Choice award. Form factor aside (which we love) we called the Mini a "top-tier value" for for it's starting price, included software and smooth performance. So $100 off is makes a good deal even better!
All-in-one computers are a good way to get a home PC set up without a lot of fuss, and this Lenovo model is on sale for a wicked 52% off retail right now at Amazon. Housed within the 24" FHD screen is a fairly decent set of components, based around a four-core Intel N100 processor and a surprisingly beefy 32GB of RAM, making it a solid choice for multi-tasking. It runs exceptionally cool and quiet, and comes with a wired keyboard and mouse. For five hundred bucks, this is a remarkable deal. See how it compares on our list of the best all-in-one PCs.

Despite it's slim and sleek build, Samsung's Snapdragon X-based Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 feels more like a portable desktop replacement than a content-creation laptop. Our expert raved about its speed, big screen, and all-day battery life in our review but wasn't so keen on the price tag. With a $165 discount, that's much less of an issue. As an added bonus, you'll get a chance to play with all of the new Copilot AI features.
Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? It's both. The new Surface Pro comes outfitted not only with Qualcomm's Copilot-enabling ARM silicon, but with a detachable keyboard and a stand so you can use it in a variety of configurations. In our review, we gushed over the versatility of this setup, noting that the responsive, bright and crisp OLED touchscreen was a pleasure to use, as was the improved Flex Pro wireless keyboard. With Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and speedy performance, it's a solid pick for work and play.

Things we loved about these Beats Studio Pro Headphones: the punchy bass and bright highs, comfortable fit, the premium accessories (a 3.5mm aux cable, a USB-C cable, and cloth zip-up case that resembles a Dopp kit). While the noise cancellation is mid (but acceptable) our big complaint in our review was about the overly expensive price. So now that the price is slashed in half, this is really a deal that can't be beat (sorry).
We called these "Sony's best noise-canceling headphones yet" in our review, and with a $100 price cut they just get even more attractive. The WH-1000XM4 over-ear headphones boast epic audio quality, with deep, clear bass coupled with warm, crisp highs that work with just about every genre of music, as well as delivering intimate vocal reproduction for your favorite podcasts. Throw in active noise cancellation that also includes an automatic conversation feature that mutes your music when you start talking and you've got a best-in-class pair of headphones at a best-in-class price.

Boy, do we love these Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Earbuds, going as far to call them "Outstanding" in our 2023 review (which means a lot based on all the competition out there). We're talking about "the best in-ear noise cancellation you can get," so if blocking out background noise is at the top of your list, then these are the buds for you. Along with updated immersive audio features and improved Bluetooth codec support from previous models, we also heavily endorsed the "crisp, full-bodied audio." 27% off is a discount to be taken seriously.
On sale for 33% off retail right now, the JBL Live Pro 2 earbuds are a solid pick for people who want serviceable active noise cancellation paired with an assertive, bass-forward sound signature. In our review, we noted their comfortable fit and robust companion app, which offers a 10-band equalizer to sculpt the sound to your liking as well as easy integrations with Alexa and Google Assistant. Battery life is rated for up to 10 hours between charges with ANC off, and the USB-C case holds around 30 hours of charge.

This is the lowest price we've seen the Google Pixel Tablet go for since Black Friday times thanks to a $120 discount. If you're looking to make the change over to the world of Androids devices, this tablet is a great place to start and get a feel on a bigger screen. Speaking of that screen, it can also double as a smart display around the home. At it's original price, we rated this model as "Good" but with that significant price drop, it's looking a whole lot better now.
Amazon's Fire tablets are designed to be budget slates for media streaming and casual gaming, making it easy to get to their massive library of e-books, movies and TV shows. The Fire 10 is the best all-around model they sell, and it's on sale for a 32% discount that brings it in at under a hundred dollars. In , we were impressed by its epic battery life and surprisingly robust screen.

If you haven't heard about Hisense, then let us tell you all about one our of favorite TV brands. We reviewed a smaller version of this 75-incher, and the pros dominated the cons. We loved its affordable price tag (and that's before today's big $500 discount), bright picture, accurate colors, Google TV interface, hands-free Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay support, and strong gaming features. Our only knock was about shadow details looking a little muddy or washed. But who's looking at shadows when you can be looking at all that money you saved. Check out the rest of the

You'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful and well-reviewed monitor at a lower price. Trust us, we've looked. Earning an "Outstanding" rating and an Editors' Choice award, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is for "enthusiasts" who are "willing to max out their PC builds and sink into something immersive and complicated." With a sleek, thin design, dazzling OLED display, and exceptional color-gamut coverage and color accuracy, the only issue we could see with this monitor is the huge price tag. Funny how a $700 price cut makes that issue disappear. This is an investment piece but so worth it.

The Sonos Move 2 smart speaker builds upon the previous model with improved battery life (we're talking twice as long). We dig the powerful audio output, rich bass, bright highs, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming, and even the Sonos app. The Move 2 is meant for both indoor and outdoor listening but it's not fully waterproof (so don't set it up too close to the pool). $90 off is one of the better discounts we've seen for this speaker and we haven't see it's all time low price in nearly a year. So now's a top time to score a deal.

With a 143-degree diagonal field of view, the Blink Outdoor 4 camera can cover a massive amount of space on its own, and when you set up all five of the units in this half-off bundle, you'll be able to have total surveillance of your home's exterior. In our review of the Blink Outdoor 4, we praised its simple installation and long battery life, noting that it allows you to store video locally or in the cloud with a Blink subscription.
