Weekend sale at Amazon: 17 deals I'd buy on TVs, laptops, headphones, and more
Black Friday-level deals on Apple, Bose, and other brands
At any one time of the year, there are always fantastic deals available at Amazon. This weekend is no different with plenty of tech products sitting at prices just as good as over Black Friday last year. I've spotted laptops, TVs, headphones, and even small appliances with great deals at Amazon right now, all of which you can check out below.
Some highlights include old favorites like the Apple MacBook Air M1 for its record-low price of $749.99 (was $999), the Google Pixel 8 for $549.99 (was $699), and brand-new products like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra wireless earbuds for $249 (was $299). I've also found some superb options for big-screen TVs on a budget like this 65-inch TCL Q6 QLED TV for $498 (was $699).
Note that most of these recommendations were previously on sale with Amazon's Presidents' Day sale on Monday so there's likely not long left to pick them up in some cases. We've already seen most of the deals on certain categories - namely discounts on Amazon's own-brand devices - already discontinued these past few days.

TCL 65-Inch Q6 QLED 4K Smart TV (2023): was $699.99 now $498 at Amazon
A big-screen QLED display under $500 is unheard of, which is why the TCL QLED 6-Series is a fantastic steal, with the 65-inch model on sale for just $498.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra wireless earbuds: was $299 now $249 at Amazon
The latest Bose premium earbuds are on sale today at Amazon for the lowest price ever. It's a price we've seen before on one occasion but it's still a great deal considering how new these buds are. Our Bose QuietComfort Ultra review awarded these earbuds a respectable four stars out of five, praising their excellent sound and noise cancellation performance - which is one of the best you'll find on any earbuds.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M1): was $999.99 now $749.99 at Amazon
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 Amazon has it for 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.
Asus VivoBook 16 laptop: was $799 now $599.99 at Amazon
There's perhaps no better bang-for-the-buck mid-range laptop deal out right now than this Asus Vivobook at Amazon. For just under $600 you're getting a super-speedy Ryzen 9-7940HS processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD - which are extremely high-end specs to be bagging at this price point. It's of course not the cheapest laptop out there right now but this Asus simply can't be faulted when it comes to outright value.
Dell Inspiron 16 5635 laptop: was $799.97 now $647.99 at Amazon
If you need a serious amount of power and storage you can get a great deal at Amazon on this higher-end Dell Inspiron 16. This laptop comes with not only 16GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7 chipset but an expansive 1TB SSD, making it a very well-rounded machine. It's capable of zipping through nearly all applications but those looking for a basic machine will definitely find this one overkill.

Apple iPad 10.2 (9th gen, 64GB): was $329 now $249 at Amazon
The latest Apple iPad is currently listed at a slightly higher price than Black Friday - $20 more. We would, however, still happily recommend it if you're interested in a decent, budget tablet. While not Apple's most powerful slate, the 10.2 is still plenty quick enough for the vast majority of tasks - plus, it features a great display for the price.
