I've gone through Best Buy's 3-day sale and listed the 19 best last-minute deals on AirPods, OLED TVs, smartwatches, cheap laptops, and more. The items listed all include impressive price cuts that we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you know you're walking away with a genuine bargain and crossing someone off your Christmas gift list.
Some of my favorite deals include this Samsung 75-inch 4K smart TV on sale for a new record-low price of $499, the best-selling Apple Watch SE marked down to $199, and this handy JBL Clip portable speaker for just $39.99.
Keep in mind that Best Buy's 3-day sale ends on Sunday at midnight, and you might not see these prices until next year. If you're shopping for Christmas gifts, Best Buy offers free and fast shipping on orders over $35 - or you can select pickup if you live near a store.

Samsung S90C 65-inch 4K OLED TV: was $2,599 now $1,599 at Best Buy
The S90C OLED is the slightly more budget-friendly cousin to the S95C, and now it's $1,000 off at Best Buy. Don't be mistaken in thinking this is the inferior set, however, as it's our top pick for this year's best TV in the TechRadar Choice Awards. Our Samsung S90C review awarded it five stars out of five, praising its gorgeous picture and gaming features. It's not as bright as the 95C, and its sound is also a little weaker, but it's a fantastic choice in its own right that will satisfy all your TV needs, be that shows, movies, or gaming.
