Best Buy 3-day sale: today's 15 best deals
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $159 now $99.99 at Best Buy
The AirPods 2 are Apple's cheapest earbuds, and Best Buy's 3-day sale has the 2nd-generation AirPods on sale for $99.99. That's just $20 more than the record-low price and fantastic value for a pair of Apple's premium earbuds. This deal is highly recommended if you want new AirPods and don't need noise-cancelling technology.
Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): was $179 now $149.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy also has the Apple AirPods 3 on sale for $149.99 - the lowest price we've seen this year. You're getting a longer battery life with the AirPods 3, thanks to the MagSafe charging case that provides more than 30 hours of total listening time and can be charged using a Qi-compatible charging mat or a Lightning connector.
Apple Watch SE 2 (GPS, 44mm): was $249.99 now $199.99 at Best Buy
We said in our Apple Watch SE 2 review that it's a respectable mid-range smartwatch boasting good performance, impressive battery life, and a helpful suite of features. Just note that it lacks the temperature sensor and ECG sensor found in higher-end options like the Apple Watch 9. Today's deal at Best Buy is $20 away from the record-low but still terrific value for money if you need a smartwatch that covers the essentials.
Apple Watch Series 9: was $399.99 now $319.99 at Best Buy
The Apple Watch 9 is perhaps the best deal from Best Buy's 3-day sale, down to a record-low price of $319.99. We discovered that it is more powerful than ever in our Apple Watch 9 review, thanks to the S9 SiP chip, which delivers a brighter display and 18 hours of battery life. You also get advanced health and safety features, GPS technology, and a new double-tap feature that allows you to use your Apple Watch without touching the display.
Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was $329.99 now $249.99 at Best Buy
The iPad 10.2 is on sale for $249.99 at Best Buy which is just $20 more than the lowest-ever price. Apple's last-generation tablet 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 slate can do it all without issue, whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games.
Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $449 now $349 at Best Buy
This offer on Apple's newest entry-level iPad brings it down to the lowest price ever that we last saw at the start of the year. It's terrific value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15.6-inch laptop: was $629.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy
For sheer bang for the buck, it's hard to beat this heavily reduced Lenovo IdeaPad at Best Buy. Not only does it have a massive $280 discount, but you're paying a great price for 8GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and an Intel Core i5 processor.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M1): was $999.99 now $749.99 at Best Buy
The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an M1 chip is a little old now, but it's still one of the best laptops ever made - and Best Buy has it down to a record-low price. Our MacBook Air M1 review awarded the device 4.5 stars out of five, where we particularly praised Apple's premium device for its speed, responsiveness, beautiful design, and long-lasting battery life.

Apple's powerful 15-inch MacBook Air is now on sale for a record-low price of $999 at Best Buy's 3-day sale. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design, and speaker array, although we did think the jump in size hurt one of the MacBook Air's key selling points - its portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive laptop at a good price.

TCL 55-Inch Q6 QLED 4K Smart TV (2023): was $449.99 now $319.99 at Best Buy
