Amazon Prime Day is finally here, and it brings along a horde of great deals on our favorite Apple products, like the AirPods and more. If you’re looking to pick up an Apple Watch, there’s no better time than right now. Amazon is currently offering a $110 discount on the Series 3, which is the best price for one of the best smartwatches out there. It may not be the latest Apple Watch Series 4, but it’s still a fantastic wearable, and with a price tag under $200, it’s the top smartwatch deal you’ll find online right now.

It’s out of stock on Amazon but can still be ordered at the discounted price. On the fence about picking up an Apple Watch? Even without the discount, there’s a number of reasons why you’re going to want to slap one on your wrist. Apple Watches are among the best fitness trackers, so if you need some extra motivation this summer, this is the smartwatch for you. Though not specifically geared as a fitness watch, like the Fitbit Versa or Garmin Forerunner, it does come packed with some great fitness-focused features. It can track steps, calories, and even your heart rate. It also comes equipped with GPS for more accurate activity tracking while jogging, walking, or hiking. It’s also completely swim-proof, so you can take it in the pool with you without worrying about it getting destroyed.

If fitness isn’t all that important to you, the Series 3 also works as a fully functional smartwatch. A dual-core S3 processor and Watch OS 5 allow for a smoother experience than the Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 1. It can also easily pair with your iPhone, allowing you to send and receive texts and calls, as well as adjust your music directly from your wrist. Be aware that you’ll need the cellular version if you want those capabilities without having to use a Bluetooth connection. The Apple Watch Series 3 also comes with up to 18 hours of battery life, so you really only need to charge it overnight to get a full day of use out of it.

Thinking about heading to Best Buy some time soon? If your answer is "No" then you should seriously reconsider, or at least check out the deals online. The Best Buy 3-Day sale is here, goes through Sunday, and its been making us take a huge interest in Best Buy's laptop deals. As it so turns out, right now is just a great time to get one. And, as hard as it has been to do so, we've narrowed the 3-Day Sale's laptops down to just five — split across a wide variety of prices and primary functions — that we think you should strongly consider.
HP 14-inch Chromebook — $159, was $299

If you're looking for budget laptops, Chromebooks are usually a great place to start. They're just cheaper than other laptops on many fronts, though there is some pared-down functionality when you compare them to laptops at large. This 14-inch laptop with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC memory has great cloud storage and is perfect for getting you through documents, web browsing, and enjoying videos on YouTube. If you have some difficulty thinking about what else you can do on a laptop but those things, and you're not alone, this laptop was pretty much made for you. Due to the excellent price point and low chances for distraction, this is an excellent laptop for college students looking to get something extra to throw in their backpack.

If you weren't aware, the Best Buy 3-Day Sale is going on now. While the name is a considerably less flashy than Amazon's Prime Day, it does make immediate sense. There's a sale going on at Best Buy, and it lasts... for three days, ending Sunday. During this sale, you can find a number of classic Best Buy items — with everything from the best laptops to the best tablets — marked down in price. Here, we investigate the tablets that make up the 3-Day Sale and highlight the five we like the most, based on discount and quality of the product, while also showing a wide variety of tablets and price ranges.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.

Our 5 favorite gaming laptop deals in Best Buy’s ‘3-Day Sale’

Gaming laptops are typically quite expensive. To have an effective one, you've got to get good storage, a nice processor, and likely throw in above-average RAM. We've all seen the big towers of pre-built desktop computers — they're big, and that space is totally non-existent in a gaming laptop. In other words, a gaming laptop is a feat of engineering. That's why we're particularly interested in gaming laptop deals, whenever they come up. And right now they're coming up via Best Buy's 3-Day Sale, an aptly named sale that lasts for... three days. It's ending Sunday, so go check these deals out now.
HP Victus 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop — $550, was $800

The key stat/hardware line (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, 512GB SSD storage) of the HP Victus can sound intimidating, even with 8GB of RAM. That's why we're delightfully shocked that this laptop is nearing the $500 mark after discounts. For your gaming needs, it also has an anti-glare monitor with 144Hz refresh rate. While it still won't beat using the best ethernet cables, the WiFi 6 standard will help you get your games downloaded fast. Other features gamers will enjoy are the full keyboard with numpad (traditional ASCII-based roguelikes, anyone?) to AI noise removal for clear communication with your teammates.
