Here are our top picks:

Best laptop deal

Why we like it

Whether you’re looking for a new laptop for school work, entertainment, or professional tasks, the MacBook Air 13-inch laptop (M3, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is a solid choice. This lightweight laptop has an 18-hour battery life, a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, and a powerful M3 chip, making it a good option for productivity, streaming, and more. But if you plan on running multiple apps at a time or having multiple browser tabs open, you might want to splurge for the 16GB RAM option.

Best gaming deal

Why we like it

Best Buy’s also offering a bundle deal on the Xbox Series X (1 TB), which includes an extra Xbox controller and an Insignia 42-inch LED 4K smart Fire TV for just 599.99. That’s a gaming console, an additional controller, and a TV for less than the price of most standalone gaming consoles.

This bundle deal is a pretty good value, especially if you want to upgrade your gaming setup for less than a grand. You can also customize your bundle to include different controllers, like the nocturnal vapor special edition controller, to fit your style.

Best headphone deal

Why we like it

The Sony WH1000XM5 noise-cancelling over-ear headphones are $100 off right now at Best Buy. These headphones, a 2022 Mashable Choice award winner, feature active noise cancellation, 30 hours of battery life (you can also get up to three hours of listening time on a quick 3-minute charge), and a Speak to Chat feature that automatically pauses your music when it detects you’re talking.
