Latest model: The MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) is the brand-new version of Apple's popular laptop. Its 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display looks great, while 16GB of memory keeps all your programs running smoothly. A price of $999 is impressive enough considering that's $100 cheaper than the standard price of the previous model, but it's even better to bag it for $849 following this record-breaking discount at Amazon.
The latest Apple AirPods 4 are down to the lowest price yet in this Amazon sale. As well as great audio, one of the standout features of the AirPods 4 is personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. What does that actually do? Well, it means you'll feel like sound is all around you. Additionally, a battery life of up to five hours on a single charge and 30 hours with the included carry case will keep you listening for longer.
Got an older HD TV with no smarts behind it? Or is your current smart TV simply struggling to get things done efficiently for you? The Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is the quick and cheap solution. It has support for multiple streaming apps including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Peacock, and many more. You can tap buttons on the remote or use your voice to get things done. It also has support for live TV and music apps like Amazon Music and Spotify.
Apple's latest entry-level iPad was released last month, and Amazon is offering it for a record-low price – that's incredible value for a powerful budget-friendly tablet. The iPad 11 packs Apple's A16 chip for laptop-like speed, 128GB of storage, an impressive camera system, and an all-day battery life.
As some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds on the market, it's great to see this $30 price drop on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. For the money, you get amazing active noise cancellation and beautifully balanced sound, all topped off with a gorgeous design and impressive 8.5-hour battery life. Altogether, these are some of the best mid-range earbuds available now.
Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $399, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile's current promotion on the Google Pixel 9 is one of the best prepaid phone deals you'll find anywhere right now. For a limited time only, you can get a massive $400 discount on this excellent flagship as well as one full year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. Overall, this is a great plan and phone combo, although note that the Pixel 9 did briefly go down to just $299 over Black Friday. Still, this is an amazing deal and one that's hard to beat.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: was $1,299 now $1,069.99, or up to $630 off with a trade-in at Samsung
Samsung has just brought back one of its best deals on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the choice between either a hefty $230 upfront discount or a trade-in rebate of up to $630 off. The upfront saving is particularly good here and one of the best we've ever seen from the official Samsung Store. Note, however, we have previously seen trade rebates reach up to $800 off for unlocked devices.
If you're looking to save some cash, opting for the slightly older Galaxy S24 Ultra is a great choice. Not only does this premium device still hold up great for 2025, but you can also get a massive $400 price cut at Walmart. This excellent deal is exactly the same price as Samsung's own promotion back on Black Friday last year, so it's worth snapping up while stocks last.
If you want the latest Galaxy Watch, then you'll need the Galaxy Watch 7. However, in reality, the last few versions of Samsung's wearable have only received iterative updates, which is why we're recommending this deal on the Galaxy Watch 4. At only $99, it's an absolute steal for a still useful and capable smartwatch – even if it is a few years old.

The Sonos Ray is the manufacturer's affordable upgrade to built-in TV speakers. Even though it doesn't give quite as heavy-handed of an upgrade as its pricier counterparts, it's more than enough to increase your surround sound for TV, movies, and games alike. It's also an ideal choice for small spaces because of its compact size. Easy setup is another plus.
Watch the playoffs on LG's highly-rated 65-inch C3 OLED TV, which is on sale for $1,196.99. That's a whopping $1,300 discount and a record-low price.

Memorial Day sales 2025: FAQs
When is Memorial Day 2025?
Memorial Day is a federal holiday that occurs on the last Monday of May. This year, it lands on Monday, May 26. Memorial Day honors the men and women who died serving in the United States military. The May holiday is also the unofficial start to summer, which is why it's become a big sale event.
When do Memorial Day sales start?
Memorial Day sales begin depending on the retailer and category. Mattress brands, such as Nectar, Purple, and DreamCloud, are typically the first retailers to launch early Memorial Day sales in early May. Major appliances are the next category, with early offers usually starting in mid-May from Samsung, Best Buy, Lowe's, and Home Depot.
In the past, big online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy waited until the week before Memorial Day or even the weekend to launch their official Memorial Day sales. Most tech-focused sales like HP and Dell will also wait to launch Memorial Day offers the week before the holiday.
