Best Buy flash sale: here are the top 9 deals
Save on the iPad Pro, Apple Watch, Lego, MacBook Pro, and more
With Christmas just one week away, the latest Best Buy flash sale has just launched as a last-minute rush to sneak in one final round of bargains. This 3-day event is live from now until Sunday, with savings up for grabs across a whole range of top tech, including iPads, TVs, laptops, headphones, appliances, wearables, and toys. We've taken a look through everything that's on offer to bring you 9 of the very best deals worth checking out.
If you missed out on a giant television in the Black Friday offers, how about this 75-inch Hisense A6G LED 4K Smart TV for only $549.99. That's a $240 price cut on the budget set that's an excellent option if you want a capable all-around TV without spending anywhere near as much for some of the top-end OLEDs.
We've also seen you can get the MacBook Pro M1 for $1,099 (was $1,299). That would've matched the lowest price yet for the well-reviewed 2020 ultrabook, but it's currently available for $50 less at Amazon. It will only arrive by mid-January if you order from there instead, so Best Buy is the place to go if you need it before Christmas.
You can also find the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro (256GB) for $1,099 (was $1,199). It may not be the cheapest price we've seen for the high-end tablet – it fell to $999 very briefly in October – but it's worth highlighting given the lack of availability at many other retailers.
As well as this, you can save up to 60% on select toys and video games, pick from a selection of Google Nest smart devices starting at $24.99 and save up to $875 on the iPhone 13 Pro in the Best Buy flash sale. All these and more can be found in our selection of the best deals just below.
