Best TV sales

The 4K, UHD and LED in its name pretty much tell the story....that story being that you'll be enjoying the sharpest, most vivid picture quality you've ever seen. Pair those with the Insignia's DTS Studio Sound and you've got the home-theater experience you've heretofore only dreamt of.
$181 at Amazon

Seeing as it's Labor Day weekend and all, how 'bout we start things off with a model that truly puts in the work? This powerhouse Insignia 50-inch Class F30 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV is now over 30% off — just $300, down from its usual price of $450! That price, for a set this size, is simply stunning.

It’s also Wi-Fi-enabled with smart home support for Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung’s Bixby. Video-streaming capability is also baked into this cake. Translation: You won’t have to buy a separate device to watch Netflix, YouTube, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Disney+ and much, much more. You're ready to start binge-watching as soon as you turn it on.

"I’m impressed with the quality of this TV, especially for the price," said one of its 3,800-plus five-star reviewers. Picture and sound are both great, and I love the FireTV integration. It has enough ports to connect everything else I need, and setup and use are easy. Love it!"

Another sale you can't miss? Amazon's big Samsung blowout, where you can score up to 30% off TVs, projectors, and monitors.

Best home audio sales

Not only do AirPods sync with iPhones, they boast world-class audio quality with unparalleled clarity and rich sound. You’ll get over 24 hours total listening time, which is plenty for walks, trips to the gym, and flights.
$99 at Amazon

Q: Don't you think it's about time you treated yourself to a pair of AirPods? A: It's time you treated yourself to a pair of AirPods! Especially now when you can get 'em for the unbeatable low price of $120 (down from $159).

If you’re looking for earbuds with seamless integration with your iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or even Apple Watch (they’re also compatible with most Android smartphones via Bluetooth, but without automatic pairing), these are the crème de la crème. All that’s left to figure out is your playlist.

"These are perfect for everyday use!" one shopper shared. "I always have my AirPods in when doing daily activities and I love the double tap feature to skip a song."

Best smartphone and tablet sales

Surf, stream, e-read, teleconference or listen to your fave audiobook or podcast. This uber-popular model does it all, now at a lowest-ever price.
$130 at Amazon

Had it with clunky, too-big laptops and your phone's tiny, eye-strain-inducing screen? For the perfect in-between gadget for e-reading, web surfing and video streaming: the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7" 32GB Android Tablet.

"Beautiful tablet," trumpeted this five-star fan. "I finally decided to replace my awesome Asus Nexus 2013 and this looked the best option. Not too many small tablets about as I guess most people prefer the bigger, clunkier ones. Anyway, no complaints."

"No technical reviews here," said an impressed Everywoman. "Just a person who does a moderate amount or use on her tablet. The graphics and pictures are great. It runs fast and the battery is pretty good. I think switching from a 10.1 to an 8 has helped my 'tech neck.'"

Best video game sales

Once you’ve sweated through the 40 included tracks, you can sign up for Just Dance Unlimited for access to hundreds more songs, spanning genres from all over the world (and also from past games).
$15 at Amazon

If you’re looking for exercise, cool tunes and group fun, look no further than the Just Dance series, on sale for $20 (from $50) — a sweet 60% off. You’ll step, hop and bounce along to new and old hits from the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Meghan Trainor.

Says a dancing fan: "I absolutely love this game! It was one of the first I bought for my Switch. All the guests who come over love it too. You'd think things would get stale considering that they have released a new version of this game every year for over a decade. But the developers have taken advantage of increasing technology to create increasingly interesting visuals for their dances and make the dances themselves more complex over time."

Best home-office sales

Sometimes simple is good, especially in a package this state-of-the-art: Its 4GB RAM memory and 128 solid-state hard drive are more than enough for the casual streamer, surfer or word processor; its Intel Core i3 and Windows 11 OS make sure it all runs smoothly.
$379 at Walmart

All you tech heads and geek squad-ers can look away; this one's for the rest of us — specifically, those of us who 1) would like a no-nonsense, meat-and-potatoes second computer to take on the road, 2) a graduating tween or a retiring granny whose computing and online needs are basic or 3) would like to leave a unit on the kitchen counter for the fam to consult on the run. "This one" is this Gateway 15.6" Ultra Slim Notebook, now marked down to less than half its usual price — $199!

"Love this computer," said one pleased pragmatist. "I needed an inexpensive computer that I could use extensively for my online business. I have an expensive desk top but needed a supplemental that was mobile. I'm over the moon happy with its performance. I've had the notebook for a few months now and feel I have really put it through all the "motions". It's lightweight, fast and the color is beautiful."
