Best Apple deal

Why we like it

Apple released the newest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. At their list price of $179.99, they’re a cheaper alternative to the AirPods Pro. In our review, we found that the AirPods 4 stood up exceptionally well to all the commotion of an airplane, delivering delicious audio quality while blocking out noise.

You can find a pair of Geek Squad-refurbished AirPods 4, for just $144.99 at Best Buy during the Outlet Event. That saves $35, one of the biggest discounts we’ve spotted on the latest Apple tech.

Best laptop deal

Why we like it

Our favorite gaming laptop is the Alienware m16 R2, but the brand’s higher-end model of the m16, is on clearance during Best Buy’s Outlet sale. You can find this stacked laptop, loaded with an AMD Ryzen CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, for just $2,239.99, knocking off $560.

This deal comes at a prime time, as Alienware just announced its most advanced gaming laptops at CES, which are slated to come out in a few months. In the meantime, the Alienware m16 is one of the best gaming laptops to shop now.
