The annual 4th of July sales are already well underway at leading retailers today and I've been busy picking out all the best deals on models we've reviewed and loved here at TechRadar. So far, as deals editor, I've found over 60 excellent options across a wide range of TVs, laptops, headphones, Apple products, and many, many other categories.

There are, of course, too many to mention here, which is why you'll find an easy to navigate list with sections just down below. A couple of highlights include the lowest price yet on the stunning Dell XPS 14 laptop, entries from Apple's yearly back-to-school sale, and half-price LG OLED TVs - a great buy if you want a premium display without breaking the bank.

My top 6 favorite tech deals today

1. LG B4 48-inch 4K OLED TV: was $1,499 now $799.99 at Best Buy
It's not every-day you see a brand-new LG OLED TV go for as little as $800 but that's exactly what we've got with this awesome 4th of July TV deal at Best Buy. Granted that this is for a 48-inch model and the B4 is also the latest entry-level display in LG's OLED lineup, this is an amazing deal. You'll still get incredible picture quality, a speedy α8 AI processor, and four HDMI 4.1 ports for next-gen gaming. If you're looking for a decent TV without breaking the bank, this is your deal today.

2. Dell XPS 14 laptop: was $1,699 now $1,199 at Dell
Here's a pretty amazing high-end laptop deal in the Dell 4th of July sale - the newest and latest Dell XPS 14 is a massive $500 off, bringing it down to the lowest price yet. This is a great price for this 2024 machine which features a powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD on its baseline configuration. If you need more power, Dell's configurator easily allows you to upgrade your graphics card, RAM, SSD, and even add an OLED display if you want. That quickly scales up the price, however.

5. Shark Cordless Pro stick vacuum: was $399 now $169 at Walmart
Here's an awesome deal on the Shark Cordless Pro that's actually $30 cheaper than Black Friday. We rank the Cordless Pro among the best shark vacuums money can buy right now, especially with this discount. Not only is it peerlessly powerful (for a cordless), but its clever clean Sense IQ automatically adjusts suction power depending on how dirty the surface area is. Its odor neutralizer is surprisingly handy, and the brush roll is exceptionally good for picking up those pet hairs.

4th of July sales: TVs

Amazon: smart TVs from $79
Best Buy: 65-inch TVs and up from $299
OLED TVs: from $899 at Best Buy
Samsung: $3,000 off 4K, OLED & QLED TVs
Target: cheap TVs from $139
Walmart: cheap 4K TVs from $178

Amazon Fire TV 43-inch Omni QLED Series: was $449.99 now $359.99 at Amazon
Amazon's Fire TV Omni QLED Series is a big step up in the otherwise cheap and cheerful range of smart TVs. This set boasts premium features including a QLED display, HDR, Dolby Vision, local array dimming and HDMI 2.1 support to deliver a top-quality picture for all-around viewing and gaming. It's not always easy to find a TV of this size and with these high-end features under $400, so it's an excellent buy for the budget-conscious without compromising on quality. However, this offer is still $30 more than the record-low price.

Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K Fire TV: was $649.99 now $469.99 at Amazon
This all-new Toshiba 75-inch 4K Fire TV is on sale for a record-low price of $469.99, which is incredibly cheap for a TV of this size. The 2024 display also boasts Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 Plus for better colors and image quality, hands-free control with Amazon Alexa, and a bezel-less design, giving you a more viewable screen area. It's a whole lot of TV for a relatively reasonable amount of money if you just want a big screen for watching TV and movies at reasonable (but not exceptional) quality.

Hisense 65-inch U7 Series Mini-LED QLED TV: was $1,099.99 now $749.99 at Best Buy
The Hisense 65-inch U7 Series Mini-LED QLED TV packs a lot in. It has a QLED panel so you get a brighter and clearer image than a regular 4K TV, as well as Mini-LED Pro technology for better contrast and colors, making this a delightful TV overall. There's also a dedicated gaming mode for PS5 and Xbox Series X owners to get the smoothest experience with those consoles. It’s even more tempting when it’s $300 off as you’d usually have to go for a much smaller display in the $800 price range.

LG B4 48-inch 4K OLED TV: was $1,499 now $799.99 at Best Buy
It's not every-day you see a brand-new LG OLED TV go for as little as $800 but that's exactly what we've got with this awesome 4th of July TV deal at Best Buy. Granted that this is for a 48-inch model and the B4 is also the latest entry-level display in LG's OLED lineup, this is an amazing deal. You'll still get incredible picture quality, a speedy α8 AI processor, and four HDMI 4.1 ports for next-gen gaming. If you're looking for a decent TV without breaking the bank, this is your deal today.

Hisense A6 Series 85-inch 4K TV: was $999.99 now $799.99 at Best Buy
The Hisense 85-inch A6 Series 4K TV is a huge TV that will look great in your living room if you have the space. Bordering on providing you with a home cinema, it has a dedicated Game Mode which will delight players with its variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode. Sports fans will also appreciate its dedicated AI Sports Mode and there’s a great 4K upscaler for ensuring HD content looks at its best. That’s quite a lot for the price – and an extra $100 cheaper for Plus and Total members.

LG 55-inch C4 OLED 4K TV: was $1,999.99 now $1,599.99 at Best Buy
Just ahead of this year's 4th of July sales event, Best Buy has LG's all-new 55-inch C4 OLED TV on sale for $1,599.99. That's an impressive $400 discount and a record-low price. Ranked in our best TV guide, the C4 features exceptional brightness, LG's latest Alpha 9 AI chip for improved performance, and impressive gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support, and 144Hz certification from Nvidia.

LG C3 65-inch OLED TV (2023): was $2,499.99 now $1,499.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy has the best-selling 65-inch LG C3 OLED TV on sale for $1,499.99 - an amazing price for this slightly older but still-amazing display. The stunning OLED TV features a brilliant picture with bright colors and powerful contrast thanks to LG's latest Alpha9 Gen6 chip. Plus, you get four HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen consoles, a sleek, thin design, and an updated webOS experience - all for under $1,500, which is fantastic value for a premium OLED display.

Samsung 75-inch QN90C QLED 4K TV: was $3,299.99 now $1,799.99 at Samsung
At less than half price, this is one of the best big 4K TV deals around at the moment for watching shows, movies and sports. Gamers will also love the four 4K 120Hz-capable HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting current-gen game consoles. The slim form factor, thin bezel, and sturdy hexagonal plate stand give the QN90C a strong visual appeal, too. It looks particularly impressive in Ambient Mode, which is a Samsung feature for displaying artwork and photos in a low-power mode.

4th of July sales: laptops

Amazon: deals on Apple, Acer, Asus, HP and more
Apple: get $150 gift cards in the Back-to-School sale
Best Buy: up to $400 off Apple, HP, Dell & Asus
Dell: Alienware, XPS, Inspiron laptops starting at $279
HP: up to 55% off Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre laptops
Lenovo: 67% off ThinkPad, IdeaPad, & gaming

Acer Aspire 3: was $499 now $359 at Walmart
Walmart has surprised us with easily the best value-for-money laptop deal available now. It's this Acer Aspire 3, which boasts some high-performance and top-end components. What impresses most is the inclusion of 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD – a rare combo at such a low price – which gets you fast load times and speedy boot times. The Ryzen 7 processor is getting a little old but it's still fine for a general everyday laptop. It's a small compromise to get some big wins elsewhere regarding overall performance and affordability.

Dell Inspiron 15: was $599.99 now $479.99 at Dell
This Inspiron 15 is my top pick of all the laptop deals in the latest 4th of July sale at Dell. With an Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a large 512GB SSD, it's the best buy if you have a reasonable budget and need a device that will comfortably handle your day-to-day computing jobs and light work. Expect solid performance, good multitasking capabilities, and speedy load times, but be aware of the bulky 15.6-inch size and battery life of around 6-8 hours that hamper its portability. Altogether, though, this is a seriously impressive laptop for the price.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge: was $1,349.99 now from $699.99 with a trade at Samsung
You can pick up a new Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge from as little as $699.99. You must trade-in an eligible device such as a laptop, tablet or phone to get up to $500 off, and the rest of the discount comes from $150 of Samsung Credit to spend in the store. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge uses a Snapdragon X Elite 3.4GHz processor with 12 cores, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. It has a great-looking 14-inch Dynamic 3K AMOLED 2X touchscreen which is also small enough to ensure this laptop is incredibly lightweight and slim. The battery life of up to 18 hours easily puts this on par with MacBooks, and its AI-powered features like automatic Live Captions and search tools via Recall make this a delight to use.

Dell XPS 14: was $1,699 now $1,199 at Dell
Here's a pretty amazing high-end laptop deal in the Dell 4th of July sale - the newest and latest Dell XPS 14 is a massive $500 off, bringing it down to the lowest price yet. This is a great price for this 2024 machine which features a powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD on its baseline configuration. If you need more power, Dell's configurator easily allows you to upgrade your graphics card, RAM, SSD, and even add an OLED display if you want. That quickly scales up the price, however.

MSI Cyborg 15.6-inch gaming laptop: was $1,099 now $879.99 at Best Buy
This MSI Cyborg has been as cheap as $749 in the past but it's still a great buy at this week's clearance price of $879. For the money, that's a decent price considering you're getting a relatively decent 12th gen i7 chipset and RTX 4060 graphics card, which is enough to play most games very smoothly at 1080p resolution. One glaring weak spot with this configuration is that it only has 8GB of RAM, although that's a relatively easy (and cheap) upgrade to do.

MSI Katana 15: was $1,599.99 now $1,199 at Amazon
It's been a while since we've seen this MSI Katana this cheap at Amazon but right now it's back down to its lowest ever price. Overall, It's not a super-cheap machine but this MSI is easily one of the best value right now considering you get a high-end RTX 4070 graphics card. Alongside this powerful component, you'll also get a respectable Core i7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for good measure, meaning you've got plenty of power here to even run games at 1440p resolutions.

Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop: was $2,499 now $1,499.99 at Best Buy
It's not everyday you get the chance to save $1,000 on a brand new Razer Blade 15 but this listing at Best Buy is the real deal. Not only are you getting a potent combination of a 13th gen Core i7 chipset and RTX 4070 graphics card, but this model also comes with a lavish 240Hz refresh rate 1440p display. As always, however, the main selling point for the Blade 15 is its gorgeous design, which is more akin to a high-end MacBook than a gaming laptop.

Amazon: AirPods, iPads & MacBooks from $89
Apple: get $150 gift cards in the Back-to-School sale
Best Buy: iPad & MacBook deals from $249
Target: 20% off refurbished Apple products

Apple Watch 9 (GPS, 41mm): was $399 now $299 at Amazon
The excellent Apple Watch 9 is back down to its lowest-ever price at Amazon today, offering the perfect opportunity to pick up one of the best smartwatches on the market for cheap. At $299, the Apple Watch 9 is a great buy thanks to its powerful S9 SiP chipset, 18 hours of battery life, and gorgeous new display. As always, the latest Apple Watch is packed with the latest health and lifestyle features, which are bolstered significantly by the innovative new double-tap feature.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M2): starting at $899, plus $150 gift card at Apple
A great option for the student who needs a relatively powerful laptop for all the basics, the MacBook Air M2 is currently up for grabs with a $150 gift card at Apple. While this model has been superseded by the M3 iteration (see below), we still rate it highly. In fact, at the time of its release in 2022, our MacBook Air M2 review concluded that this was the best laptop for most people thanks to its stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long battery life. For those needing a premium laptop for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing, and even relatively intensive workloads, this is a great starting point.

Apple MacBook Air (M3): starting at $999, plus $150 gift card at Apple
The M3 model is the latest MacBook Air on the market currently and it's an incredible machine for students, teachers, and everyone in between. This model was released earlier this year and runs on the powerful M3 chipset, making it a great buy for creatives and anyone after a high-end device. Our five-star MacBook Air 13-inch M3 review praised its excellent performance, lengthy 18 hours of battery life and slick fan-less design. We think it's the best laptop you can buy right now if you've got a decent budget for a portable and powerful machine. We've seen this particular model go for as little as $899 on Amazon in recent weeks but today's Back to School promotion at Apple gets you a $150 gift card.

Apple iPad Air (2024): starting at $549, plus $100 gift card at Apple
Apple's latest iPad Air was just released last month so it's great that it's included in the Apple Back to School event with a generous $100 gift card. This model comes with similar features as the last-gen iPad Air but upgrades the M1 chip to the M2 - the same processor that was in the 2022 MacBook Air. In short, you're getting incredible power and battery life with this slate but it does come at a relatively high premium. Not as high as the latest iPad Pro models, however.
