Amazon's Big Spring Sale might technically be over, but there are still plenty of good tech deals to be found for cheap.
Across Amazon—plus Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and more—gadgets from laptops to TVs are still seeing deep discounts, regardless of any official deals windows. 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. Prices are accurate as of the time of writing, but you can expect them to fluctuate and for 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 Pro with M4 Chip: $1,439 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: $1,499 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: $672 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: $909 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.
Google Pixel Tablet: $279 at Amazon (was $399). A more affordable tablet, this device uses the same Tensor G2 chipset as the Pixel 7 line, has 8GB of RAM, and features a 2,560 x 1,600 display. That means it's on the humbler side, but as a positive, it can also double as a smart display.
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.
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.
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: $1,487 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.
Samsung 50-inch QN90D QLED TV: $998 at Amazon (was $1,398). QLED takes a different approach than OLED, sacrificing pixel-perfect pure blacks in favor of higher brightness and more affordability. Samsung's Neo QLED tech combines this with Mini-LEDs to help claw some of that contrast back, and is a great choice at this price point, especially with its built-in 4K upscaling and Dolby Atmos support.
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 deals on headphones and earbuds
Headphones and earbuds are one of those things that it's easy to forget about in an upgrade cycle. If you can hear your content, that's good enough for most people, right? But discounts present an easy excuse to improve your gear and get access to features you didn't even know you were missing.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones: $220 at Amazon (was $400). These are Sony's flagship over-ear headphones, complete with noise canceling, a promised 30-hour battery life, and Alexa voice control alongside capacitive touch control.
Apple AirPods Max Headphones: $500 at Amazon (was 549). Apple's AirPods Max are a great choice for anyone in the Apple Ecosystem, especially with the USB-C version's recent adoption of lossless audio.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones: $249 at Amazon (was $349). Bose's QuietComfort headphones are a little cheaper that Sony and Apple's most recent flagships, but still promise strong noise canceling performance as well as battery life that will last you over a day.
Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen Earbuds: $199 at Amazon (was $250). Apple's 2nd Gen AirPods Pro added a few new software tricks that make them a great upgrade, including conversation awareness and even the ability to use them as hearing aids.
The best deals on smartwatches
Smartwatches are one of those smartphone value adds that seem easy to ignore, until you have one. Then it's hard to go back. If you're either a fitness enthusiast, or you just want to make tap-to-pay and music controls a little simpler, here are a few good ways to get started.
Apple Watch Series 10: $329 at Amazon (was $399). Apple's current standard smartwatch, the Series 10, is on sale across both its 42mm and 46mm sizes. It comes with a sport loop and features a thinner design and bigger display than the previous model.
Apple Watch SE Gen 2: $199 at Amazon (was $249). If all you need from a smartwatch is the absolute basics, the Apple Watch SE is a budget option that can still do tap-to-pay and track your fitness. It's currently on sale in both its 40mm and 44mm sizes, and comes with a sport band.
Pixel Watch 3: $290 at Amazon (was $350). Google's own smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 3, offers a more rounded design than the Apple Watch and includes some extra smarts straight from Fitbit. It's on sale in both 41mm and 45mm sizes and comes with an elastic band.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: $240 at Best Buy (was $300). A slightly cheaper Android option, the Galaxy Watch 7 still has full WearOS compatibility and measures over a dozen different fitness statistics. It's on sale in both 40mm and 44mm sizes and comes with an elastic band.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: $420 at Best Buy (was $650). One of the few premium smartwatches on sale right now, this Galaxy Watch upgrade comes with a titanium design, an extra button, and improved waterproofing. It only comes in 47mm and includes an elastic band.
