Best Buy currently has the 48-inch LG A2 OLED TV on sale for just $599.99 - a superb price considering this is a premium OLED TV (which usually don't come cheap).

Best Buy Black Friday in July: Apple

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): $329.99$269.99 at Best Buy

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was $329.99 now $269.99 at Best Buy
This is $20 less over at Amazon but if you don't have a Prime membership then this deal from Best Buy is a sound alternative – especially since it comes with three free months of Apple TV plus four free months of Apple Music (new or returning subscribers only). It may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review: whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games. Ultimately, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, it doesn't get better than this.

Apple iPad mini, 64GB (2021): 499.99 $399.99 at Best Buy

Apple iPad mini, 64GB (2021): was $499.99 now $399.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy has the 2021 iPad mini on sale – and it's within a buck of the lowest price we've seen. You're getting a powerful A15 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, making this iPad mini a great choice if you're looking for a smaller tablet with premium features. The handheld iPad is a fantastic buy if you're looking for a smaller tablet that still packs a fully premium specs sheet.

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022): $1,099$1,049 at Best Buy for My Best Buy members

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022): was $1,099 now $1,049 at Best Buy for My Best Buy members
Here's a chance to get the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro with the powerful M2 chip for $50 under Amazon's Prime Day price and the lowest we've ever seen for it. (Choose a My Best Buy Plus for $50/year and it'll essentially pay for itself here.) In our MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 review, we loved this premium Apple laptop for its high performance in creative tasks such as photo and video editing, as well as the impressive battery life of around 15 hours, even though it wasn't a revolutionary upgrade from the previous model.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): $129.99 $99.99 at Best Buy

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $129.99 now $99.99 at Best Buy
If Amazon's $99 2nd Gen AirPods deal sells out or becomes a Prime member exclusive, Best Buy has them on sale for just a dollar more for all shoppers. It's within $20 of the record-low price and fantastic value for a pair of Apple's premium earbuds. They're dated but still some of the best earbuds according to our AirPods (2nd Gen) review, so this deal is highly recommended if you want good-value AirPods and don't need noise-canceling technology.

AirPods Max: $499.9 $449.99 at Best Buy

AirPods Max: was $499.99 now $449.99 at Best Buy
Apple's flagship wireless headphones may be among the best sounding that we've ever tested, but – like we noted in our AirPods Max review – they're very expensive. Well, now they're cheaper. This isn't the cheapest they've ever been (they've dropped to $399 before, and even $349 in one ridiculous promotion we haven't seen repeated), but this is how cheap they were last Prime Day. This ties Amazon's current Prime Day price, as well – but who knows if Best Buy will surprise all of us with another drop?

Acer Chromebook Spin 311: $249, now $129.99 at Best Buy

Acer Chromebook Spin 311: was $249, now $129.99 at Best Buy
This may be an older model, but for basic computing it'll get the job done. We call it a versatile Chromebook for work and play in our Acer Chromebook Spin 311 review, highlighted by good battery life, an excellent touchscreen, and a nifty spin mechanism. At only $130, it's a solid pickup for younger students or older folks who need something reliable and uncomplicated.

For an idea of performance and build quality, read our Dell XPS 15 (2022) review, where we call it 'laptop perfection.'

Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ (with Type Cover): $929.99 $599.99 at Best Buy

Best Buy Black Friday in July: FAQs

How long will Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale last?

Best Buy's Prime Day deals will coincide with Amazon's official Prime Day event but start a day earlier. Best Buy Black Friday in July will run from Monday, July 10 until Wednesday, July 12.

Do you need a My Best Buy membership for these deals?

Once again, the Best Buy Black Friday in July sale won't solely be a members-only affair. This'll benefit shoppers who don't have a Prime membership because more often than not, Best Buy will price-match Amazon or offer similar deals. 

However, as you've probably already surmised from the preview above, there will be a small number of deals that are exclusive to members as well as some further savings on certain items that will be available to members also. Right now, it's hard to gauge how many deals will be exclusive, but it could be a good idea to consider picking up a membership ahead of the sale.

Recently, Best Buy launched a new membership program that now includes three tiers, priced from free to $179.99 per year. Here's a brief look at what each current My Best Buy membership level includes:

  • My Best Buy (free): Free standard shipping on all items sitewide
  • My Best Buy Plus ($49.99/yr): Adds free 2-day shipping plus exclusive member offers
  • My Best Buy Total ($179.99/yr): Adds protection plans (including AppleCare Plus) plus 24/7 tech support

My Best Buy memberships from free at Best Buy
The entry-level My Best Buy membership tier is free to join and avails you of free standard shipping on all items sitewide. Upgrade from $49.99 per year to add perks like exclusive access to sales, free 2-day shipping, 24/7 tech support, and AppleCare Plus protection plans with the purchase of an Apple device.
