These do-it-all buds really are 100% flagship audio and the noise-cancelling quality is outstanding. Today's deal is the best price you can find on Apple's newest AirPods, and a return to the record-low Black Friday price we saw at the end of last year.

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel Core 3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB
This version of the Lenovo Chromebook Plus offers an impressive amount of power for the price. It includes 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core 3 processor, boosting performance, boot times and load times. Storage of 128GB is a bit underwhelming, but you do get a 2-in-1 touchscreen and solid battery life of up to 17 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough to last a full working day. At a little under $400, it's a smart buy for school or college, or just as a home laptop for light use and everyday tasks.

For a more budget-friendly option, consider this Hisense A6 65-inch 4K Fire TV for under $300. It lacks many of the premium features found in the more expensive sets, but you still get solid 4K resolution, a large display size, and support for all of the most popular streaming apps. If it's an affordable and big-screen everyday TV you need and are happy with a reasonable picture quality and performance, this one is hard to beat for the cost.

For under $300, it's hard to pass up such a high-tech and highly rated vacuum.

There's even 512GB of SSD storage, which you don't often see in combination with those other strong performance components at this price point. This is an all-around excellent laptop for everyday, college and business use.

Treat yourself to one of the best pairs of bone conduction headphones at their lowest-ever price — one that we last saw during Black Friday.

This second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar is an older model, but this considerable discount drops it to its best price since Black Friday. Even with its age, it's still a great offer for a compact and stylish soundbar that also drops the subwoofer for another space-saving measure. It offers easy integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem if you want a larger home theater system, and Dolby Atmos support provides a more immersive experience when watching movies. We also found it's great at playing music in our Sonos Beam (Gen 2) review, so it's a good choice if you need an all-in-one soundbar for multiple uses.

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is down to a record-low price following this $100 price cut at Best Buy. It's powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 A CPU, with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and sports a 7-inch Full HD 120Hz touchscreen. I can't deny that it's a solid handheld gaming PC for most users, and it's now available for a reasonable price, so if you want to avoid stock issues and price hikes on the likes of the Steam Deck, it's a good buy following the price cut. Just be aware that more powerful devices with better software support are out there if you're happy to wait.

Best Buy Memorial Day sale: key information
If you've got any burning questions about the Best Buy Memorial Day sale in 2026, we've got the answers for you right here.
When will the Best Buy Memorial Day sale start?
Best Buy hasn't confirmed when it will launch its Memorial Day sale in 2026. However, based on events in previous years, we expect it will start around a week before the holiday to run across the full weekend, with a start date on or around May 18. However, the retailer's appliance sale usually starts before that, so I imagine that it will be live by May 15.
Best Buy Memorial Day sale: deals to expect
The Memorial Day sales always feature massive discounts on major appliances and we're confident that Best Buy will take the lead with this for another year.
Be prepared for flat discounts of up to $2,000 on refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines from brands like Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and more. Plus, there will be extra savings on bundle deals and useful extras such as free installation and delivery on select products.
Outside of that, we expect to see lots of great tech bargains. Best Buy's Memorial Day sale should also feature some of the best TV deals we've seen so far this year as the retailer looks to shift stock of last-generation models. This is your chance to score a bargain on budget HD sets, large-screen 4K TVs and high-end OLED displays.
Then, amongst all of that, there should be impressive discounts on laptops, headphones, smartwatches, tablets, robot vacuums, cameras, coffee makers, health and beauty products, and more.
