TIRED of the heat waves and wildfire smoke? Just pretend it’s November already with Best Buy’s annual Black Friday in July sale, happening now. The deals aren’t necessarily as good as they were on Prime Day, but if you missed out on that event, this is your next best bet to grab that laptop or tablet for less. It’s a good buying opportunity if your kid needs new gear for their upcoming semester at college, or if you’d simply rather avoid the fall rush to shop for a new TV.
We test all the latest devices year-round, and give our honest takes on everything. Below are hand-picked deals on gear our experts would buy for themselves. Don’t wait—the deals end Sunday, July 26.
For more in-depth information on our testing, check out our guides to the Best TVs, Best Art TVs, Best Laptops, Best iPad to Buy, Best Tablets, Best Headphones, and Best Bluetooth Speakers.
TV Deals
LG
B5 OLED
We crowned this model the best budget OLED TV, and it’s one of the best value buys available, even when it’s not on sale. We especially like its natural-looking colors and solid 4K gaming bona fides.
Hisense
CanvasTV S7N
Art TVs are hot right now, and this is one of our favorites. When you’re not using it as a TV, it comes with a library of 1,000 non-subscription works of art you can display. Or you can just feature your own photos from your Google account.
Apple Deals
Apple
MacBook Air (M5, 2026)
The best MacBook for most people, this model features Apple’s most recent processor, the M5 chip. Given that Apple recently raised its price by $200 on the 13-inch model, this is $100 more than the base price you may have seen earlier this year, but it’s as good a deal as you’ll find right now.
Apple
AirPods Pro 3
Apple’s latest AirPods Pro are the most popular headphones on the market. They earned a rare 9/10 rating from former WIRED A/V editor Parker Hall for their improved noise-cancelling capability, selection of four ear tip sizes, and new tools, like heart-rate sensing and live translation.
Tablet Deals
Samsung
Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra
Save $350 on the Ultra model of this previous-generation tablet that’s easy to love, with multi-day battery life and a smooth display.
Apple
iPad (2025, A16)
The iPad we recommended for most people is $50 off right now and sports Apple’s new A16 chip. There’s not enough RAM to support Apple Intelligence, but this is still a well-rounded enough tablet to consider.
Bluetooth Speaker Deals
JBL
Flip 7
Save $50 on one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers that can take all manner of abuse. It’s IP68 water-resistant, shock-tested for 1-meter drops, and has a 14-hour battery life.
Bose
Soundlink Plus
Most outlets are knocking $70 off the price of our favorite midsized speaker right now, but Best Buy is the seller that carries all the colors, including this cool Citrus Yellow, Sunset Peach, and Blue Dusk.
Home Tech Deals
Roborock
Qrevo Curv
This 2024 flagship model is not new, but former WIRED reviewer Ryan Waniata said it was the best robot vacuum he’d ever used. This is one of the best prices for it that you’ll see.
Ninja
Slushi Machine
Fifty bucks off isn’t exactly a doorbuster for this machine, but come on, who doesn’t need a frozen marg? This was our favorite slushie machine until we tried the Ninja XL, but it’s still a great entry-level model if you’re looking to round out the rest of your summer with frozen drinks.
