Cyber Monday is long gone, but with spring sales popping up this week in response to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event, there’s still plenty of good tech to be found for cheap.
Across Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and more, gadgets from laptops to TVs are seeing deep discounts. Shopping these sales can be a bit difficult unless you know how to track an item’s price history, but fortunately, I’ve already done all of the work for you. Keep checking in here throughout the week for the best deals on laptops, TVs, tablets, video games, and more. Prices are accurate as of time of writing, but you can expect them to fluctuate and inventory to sell out, so you may not want to hesitate if you see a sale that grabs you.
The best deals on laptops
Sales events are a great time to buy laptops, as they’re one of the most frequent items to go on sale during these periods. Here are some of my favorite picks for the best laptop deals available now.
-
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with M4 Chip: $949 at Amazon (was $999). Released earlier this month, Apple’s M4 MacBook Air is already on sale. At time of writing, the discount only applies to the 13-inch model with 16GB of RAM, but that’s still enough for plenty of users.
-
Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Chip: $1,399 at Amazon (was $1,599). For a more powerful Apple computer, the MacBook Pro is the obvious choice. As time of writing, sales are present across all chip options (the M4 has multiple upgrades available), as well as across multiple RAM and storage loadouts, but you will need to stick to a 14-inch screen.
-
Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360: $1,475 at Amazon (was $1,699). A Windows-based alternative to the MacBook Air, although with power potentially rivaling the Pro at points, this lightweight laptop is a touch more expensive, but comes with a higher resolution OLED screen with a higher refresh rate, plus the ability to convert into a tablet.
-
Microsoft Surface Laptop: $980 at Amazon (was $1,400). A cheaper alternative to the MacBook Air, the Microsoft Surface Laptop offers a familiar form factor and, thanks to its Qualcomm chip, higher battery life and greater AI compatibility, although at the cost of some performance.
-
Lenovo IdeaPad 1i: $420 at Best Buy (was $600). This is a more basic, “get the job done” kind of laptop, but with a respectable mid-range chip, surprisingly generous storage for the price, and a touchscreen, there’s quite a bit of value to be had here.
-
HP Victus 16 Gaming Laptop: $900 at Best Buy (was $1,500). The HP Victus 16 is a tremendous deal below $1,000, getting you a respectable chip, 16GB of RAM, and enough storage to get by, but also the RTX 4070 GPU, which is typically reserved for much more expensive machines.
The best deals on tablets
Good tablets are a bit rarer to find deals on during sales events, since iPads so overwhelmingly dominate the space, and Apple can be a little more stringent with supply. Still, there are good opportunities to be found if you’re willing to look.
-
Apple 11-Inch iPad Pro with M4 Chip: $899 at Amazon (was $999). Apple’s first iPad with an OLED screen, the M4 Pro is now available for less than four figures, with deals available for all storage configurations.
-
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+: $700 at Amazon (was $1,000). A premium Android tablet from Samsung, this rectangle boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, 12GB of memory, 256GB of storage, a 12-inch 2,800 x 1,752 AMOLED screen, and comes with a stylus.
-
Microsoft Surface Pro 13-Inch: $999 at Best Buy (was $1,200). This pick blurs the line between a tablet and a laptop, coming equipped with Windows 11, which gives it a full desktop ecosystem of apps to explore. Plus, this particular model also has a few Copilot+ goodies thrown in. Storage is 512GB and RAM is 16GB.
The best deals on phones
Similar to tablets, the current phone deals are a bit held back by Apple, as iPhone sales tend to be a bit hit-or-miss, often relying on third-party sellers with refurbished devices. However, if you’re on Android, you have a wealth of options.
-
Google Pixel 9 (Unlocked): $640 at Amazon (was $799). Google’s latest non-pro phone has the Tensor G4 chip, a lot of exclusive Gemini-powered goodies, and a 6.3-inch OLED “Actua” display.
-
Google Pixel 9 Pro (Unlocked): $849 at Amazon (was $1,099). An upgrade to the base Pixel 9, the Pro model has improved cameras, more storage options, and a higher resolution display.
-
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (Unlocked): $899 at Amazon (was $1,099). Priced similarly to the standard Pixel 9 Pro, the XL offers identical power, but a larger, 6.8-inch display.
-
Samsung Galaxy S25 (Unlocked): $700 at Amazon (was $800). Samsung’s Galaxy phones are a favorite alternative to Google’s Pixels, with a more traditional camera setup and more powerful chips. You lose out on Google’s exclusive Pixel software features, but if you can get used to Samsung’s own ecosystem, there’s also some convenience to be gained with its spin on Android.
-
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Unlocked): $1,195 at Amazon (was $1,420). An upgrade to the base Samsung Galaxy S25, the Ultra has more storage options, a larger, 6.9-inch screen, better cameras, and a slightly bigger battery.
-
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Unlocked): $1,068 at Amazon (was $1,220). Flip phones are still an expensive proposition, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a bit more affordable with the sale. This phone has many of the same specs as the S25, albeit with the camera’s performance being traded out a bit in favor of the foldable screen.
-
Motorola Razr+ (Unlocked): $700 at Amazon (was $1,000). This nostalgic flip phone is a slightly cheaper alternative to the Z Flip series, with a slightly weaker chipset but also a slightly larger size.
The best deals on TVs
Like laptops, TVs almost always go on sale at every opportunity, and waiting until these discounts drop is a great way to get a display that punches above its weight class.
-
LG 77-inch B3 OLED TV: $1,497 at Amazon (was $2,297). OLED is still my favorite display tech out there, and if I can get on my soapbox for a moment, it’s the only one that really compares to CRTs. LG makes some of the best OLED TVs around, and this big-screen model has a 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There are four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
-
Amazon 55-inch Fire TV Omni Series: $770 at Amazon (was $900). Amazon’s Fire TVs are a great way to get a lot of screen on a budget. This 4K Mini-LED smart display has a 144Hz refresh rate, supports hands-free Alexa control, comes with up to an 85-inch screen, and has various HDR options.
-
Roku 55-inch Plus Series QLED 4K Smart TV: $430 at Best Buy (was $500). Roku is one of Amazon’s biggest rivals in the budget TV category. Available in up to 75 inches, this TV is 4K, supports Dolby Vision at a lower price point than Amazon’s option, has a 60Hz refresh rate, and comes with Roku’s snappy operating system built in.
-
TCL 55-inch Class Q6-Series 4K Smart Google TV: $300 at Best Buy (was $320). If you’re not big on Amazon’s or Roku’s operating systems, then a TCL TV is a good bet. This model comes in up to 98 inches, has a 4K QLED panel, supports Dolby Vision, and has a 60Hz native refresh rate.
The best sales on video game tech
Video game sales tend to be more often relegated to summer and fall, but there are still a few sales to be found right now, especially on accessories.
-
Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition: $435 at Amazon (was $450). Console deals are few and far between during this sales event, but you can snag the current most powerful Xbox for a slight discount right now, but you’ll need to get the version without a disc drive.
-
Amazon Fire TV 4K Max with Xbox Core Wireless Controller and 1 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: $105 at Amazon (was $145). This bundle will snag you Amazon’s best streaming stick plus an Xbox controller and one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, turning it into a full-on cloud gaming console.
-
Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller: $45 at Amazon (was $60). Almost no video game accessory is as versatile as the basic Xbox controller, which can work across a slew of devices and has a standard layout that most games recognize immediately.
-
8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller: $48 at Amazon (was $60). This is a reliable third-party alternative to the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, with both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity, plus motion controls, back paddles, extra trigger buttons, macro compatibility, and durable TMR sticks. Note that you have to be an Amazon Prime member to get this deal.
