We've been waiting for a decent price cut on the Google Pixel 11 and here it is, finally. Available right now is a healthy $200 price cut across all color variations, which is a fantastic discount on this expensive device. The
higher price was one of our main complaints about the Pixel 11, so this makes it an easy recommendation, considering you get the very latest chipset in
this device, plus the interesting new HiLight feature. Read more Read less View Deal Sony WH-1000XM5: was $398 now $198 at Best Buy

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are a whole lot cheaper now that there's a slightly newer model in the range. That's a huge benefit because these excellent noise-cancelling headphones are easily still some of the best on the market. Not only do you get fantastic ANC performance and a comfortable fit, but the M5 also have a really nice modern design. Unlike the M6 they don't fold, but otherwise, it's a great idea to simply go for the older model and save some cash.

more accurate, brighter colors than the C5, with powerful contrast thanks to its new Alpha 11 AI processor. The C6 also includes impressive gaming

Read more Read less View Deal Google Pixel Watch 5: was $399.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

This is the Google Pixel Watch 5's first ever price cut, and honestly? It's a pretty damn good deal overall. We think the Pixel Watch 5 is an iterative upgrade over the previous model, but it is a fantastic smartwatch for sure,
We love the repairable teardrop design, and thetop-tier health features like Loss of Pulse detection are great, too. Overall, a very strong contender if you want a do-it-all smartwatch.

Processor: MediaTek Kompanio 540 RAM: 8GB Storage: 128GB

You don't always find a laptop with 8GB of memory for under $300, so this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook really stands out in Best Buy's sale. Other components are good for light use, but that bump to 8GB of RAM will really help with everyday performance and load times. It's still a fairly basic laptop, but with enough extra power to avoid dramatic slowdown when multitasking. Read more Read less View Deal Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i: was $729.99 now $429.99 at Best Buy

Display - 14 inches Processor - AMD Ryzen AI 5 RAM - 16GB Storage - 512GB

I think this OmniBook X Flip could be one of the best laptop deals in the
Best Buy sale, full stop. Not only do you get a decent Ryzen 5 chipset and 16GB of RAM for a reasonable price, but this machine features a premium 2K OLED display. That's quite rare on a $600 machine, so this is definitely a solid pick for an everyday laptop if you don't need a machine with a really high-end Ryzen 7 or Core 7 chipset.

As well as the powerful and efficient M5 chip, the latest MacBook Air boasts a slick 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD as standard. Those are solid overall specs for
all-around use, productivity, and creative tasks. Read more Read less View Deal Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025): was $1,999 now $1,849 at Best Buy

Apple's powerful MacBook Pro with the latest M5 chip and a chunky 1TB of storage is on sale at Best Buy. Boasting that powerful M5 chip, a gorgeous Liquid Retina display and an impressive 18 hours of battery life, this is a complete creative workstation. We awarded this model a solid four stars out
of five in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) review , praising the overall performance, elegant design, and long-lasting battery, but we were disappointed by the lack of a larger redesign and the overemphasis on AI features rather than other useful upgrades.

There are a number of gaming laptops on sale at Best Buy today, but this Asus TUF is arguably the best value. It's really cheap for a machine with an RTX 5070 graphics card and Ryzen 9 chipset, although you do sacrifice a little
bit of storage and RAM. Still, even with 16GB of RAM this machine will
provide impressive performance across a range of titles. Read more Read less View Deal Best Buy Doorbuster sale Televisions Insignia F50 Series 55-inch
