I scanned Best Buy's massive back-to-school sale — these are the 12 deals I'd buy on laptops, tablets, AirPods, TVs, and more
From AirPods to OLED laptops: these are the essentials that I'd pick up from Best Buy's back-to-school sale.
As the back-to-school season draws near, Best Buy has launched a comprehensive sale featuring significant price cuts on a wide range of items students may need. TechRadar's retail editor has delved into the sale to highlight the most appealing deals.
The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation emerges as a strong contender at $149, down from $179. These latest iteration of Apple's popular earbuds offer exceptional noise cancellation, an essential feature for studying or working in a noisy environment.
The Asus Zenbook 14 stands out with its high-end design, a powerful Ryzen 9 chipset, and a stunning 2K OLED display. While it might be a touch expensive for a typical back-to-school laptop, older students may find its features worth the investment.
For those seeking a perfect dorm room TV, the 55-inch TCL QM6K is a standout choice at $549, down from $799. This model boasts impressive features such as 120Hz refresh rates at 4K, perfect for gaming, and excellent image quality for its price.
Best Buy's back-to-school sale also includes Apple's AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation, now available for $149.99 - the best deal currently available. These earbuds boast a new comfortable design, handy controls, and Apple's H2 chip that supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation.
Additionally, Best Buy offers a $30 discount on the already affordable Apple Watch SE 3, making it a remarkably good deal at $219. Despite being older than the Apple Watch Series 11, the SE 3 still offers a range of features including activity, heart rate, and sleep tracking, along with 18 hours of battery life.
Finally, the Apple Watch Series 11 is available with a $100 discount, priced at $999. This is the thinnest Apple Watch yet, featuring a wraparound LTP3 OLED display. It's a stylish watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous models, providing an average of 24 hours of use.
