Like all of the best video doorbells, the Ring Video Doorbell has an impressive 1080p camera. This camera, however, also has a 155-degree field of view, giving you a wider field of view and allowing you to see more of what’s going on outside your home.

The Ring Video Doorbell 3 is closer to the top of the Ring Doorbell model lineup, but it still manages to produces a lot of value because of its relative affordability. It has a 1080p camera that lets you see, hear, and speak to anyone from your phone, tablet, or PC, as it’s able to connect to your smart devices for ultimate access, mobility, and convenience. It does this with dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, making it a device that can keep up with the speed of your life.

Like the Ring Video Doorbell, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack, ensuring it continues to function during power outages.

The Ring Video Doorbell 3 is easy to set up and connect to your Wi-Fi network, and once connected, you use Alexa to hear announcements on a compatible Echo device when your doorbell is pressed and see a live view of your camera if you have an Echo device with a screen. You can even talk to visitors with a simple voice command. One of the more modern and feature -ich video doorbell options, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 is a great tech addition to any smart home setup.

Should you shop these Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals or wait until Black Friday?

Black Friday is traditionally the best time of the year to purchase a Ring Doorbell, but this second Prime Day sales event makes for some new opportunities. The Prime Early Access Sale brings with it the chance to score a major Ring Doorbell discount with the ability to do so at zero risk of missing out on a better deal. This event takes place a little more than a month before Black Friday, which means Black Friday falls within the return window of anything you purchase during the Prime Early Access Sale. In other words, you can make a purchase during the Amazon event, and if a better deal turns up on Black Friday, you can easily return it. You can even get ahead of other shoppers with our Ring Video Doorbell buying guide.

Black Friday is still expected to be a day full of massive discounts, so it’s still something you should take seriously in landing the best deal on a Ring Doorbell. However, it’s so popular that inventories often run out and long shipping times start to pop up. With the Prime Early Access Sale taking place in October, Black Friday now makes for a good insurance policy, as you’ll be able to purchase a Ring Doorbell early just in case Black Friday doesn’t have a better deal coming. It’s best to get your shopping done early anyhow, and shopping during the Prime Early Access Sale will ensure you land both a Ring Doorbell and a discount before the frenzy of Black Friday arrives. If a better deal turns up on Black Friday, you can re-evaluate your purchase at that point.

Our 5 favorite tablet deals in Best Buy’s ‘3-Day Sale’
Apple iPad 9th Gen. 2021 on porch with toys.

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’
Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 placed on a desk.

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.
