Walmart is going all out to battle Amazon’s big October event and the tech standouts are clear. If you’ve been eyeing Apple, Samsung or HP gear, these are the Walmart deals that provide value, not just splashy strike-through prices. It gets even stronger for Walmart+ members, who get fast, free shipping, can order same-day for in-store pickup, and have return windows that rival those at specialty stores.
To help tease away those good deals from marketing fluff, I searched for discounts close to recent lows, solid configurations (RAM, storage, panels, chipsets) and a good track record of reliability on these products. I additionally considered independent feedback from sources like Consumer Reports, Rtings and Notebookcheck, as well as market context on shopper behavior during big deal events from Adobe Analytics and Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.
Apple deals worth buying during Walmart’s sale
- Apple AirPods 4 for $90 (save $40): A straightforward, high-return upgrade if you are an iPhone owner. You have the most important stuff — a good fit, effortless pairing, Find My case tracking and spatial audio — and are not overpaying for it. At this price, the Pixel Buds A will be a safer bet than most of the budget options that cut corners on quality signaling, mics and stability.
- AirPods Pro 2 for $199 (save $40): They’re still the travel-and-commute default, thanks to active noise cancellation, Adaptive Audio and strong call quality. Actual battery life hovers around six hours per charge, and its USB‑C case is a good citizen of the rest of Apple’s modern ecosystem. If ANC is a must, this is the Apple sweet spot.
- MacBook Air (M1) for $599 (save $50): It’s true, it’s an older model, but the M1 makes the Air far better than any entry-level Windows laptop at everyday tasks and offers superb battery life. The trade-offs — 8GB of unified memory and 256GB storage — are real, but this price is hard to beat for students and casual creators. Complement it with typed input and you’re good.
- iPad 11‑inch (2025) for $323 (save $26): A solid early effort in the Apple tablet game, with a chip that manages note-taking with ease, plus video streaming and other light gaming. The landscape front-facing camera is great for video calls, and, still, 128GB at this price makes a nice change. Please confirm whether your Pencil is compatible with the technical parameters mentioned above before purchasing.
Samsung puts savings in focus during Walmart’s sale
- Galaxy Watch 7 for $199 (save $79): With a polished-up BioActive sensor, Wear OS smarts and zippier sleep tracking, this is the Android-friendly watch to beat at this price. With mixed usage you can expect around a day-and-a-half of battery life, and Samsung Health is still one of the more intuitive wrist-based wellness platforms out there.
- Samsung The Frame TV for $1,698 (save $1,302): If you like a TV to be camouflaged in the living space, well, that’s the point of The Frame and its matte display and Art Mode. No, it’s not Samsung’s brightest panel — that’d be the QLED flagships — but with the One Connect box, 4K and a 120Hz-capable lineup, it represents a meaningful TV upgrade for your living room that won’t reflect all of your glare-prone furniture styling decisions (throw pillows included).
HP picks for work and play in Walmart’s tech deals
- HP Victus 15 gaming laptops: The top Walmart configurations step up to RTX 4050 or 4060 graphics, with 16GB of RAM and a 144Hz panel enabling high settings in games at 1080p. Seek out models with dual‑drive or 1TB storage options; far too many budget machines only offer a paltry 512GB and you’ll quickly run out of space once you install a couple of modern games.
- HP Envy x360 15 2‑in‑1: The convertible to watch for creators, students and hybrid workers. Intel Core Ultra or Ryzen 7 power your way to fast app launches and smooth multitasking, while optional OLED displays breathe life into photo and video projects. Opt for 16GB of memory and a 512GB hard drive or bigger to avoid Chrome-heavy slowdowns.
- HP LaserJet and OfficeJet printers: Walmart offers some of these models, including ones with automatic duplex printing and high page yields for less. To keep long‑term costs down, look for printers that come with separate color cartridges (or toner) instead of a single tricolor cartridge setup, and only sign up for Instant Ink if your monthly printing volume is predictable.
How To Get The Best Use Of These Anti‑Prime Deals
Walmart offers sale pricing without requiring a membership, which is an attractive benefit for noncommittal shoppers. Electronics generally come with a 30‑day return window, and store pickup can avoid shipping delays. Keep an eye out for bundle SKUs that truly add value (additional watch bands, extended protection, a memory card kit) without causing the price to soar.
Industry trackers such as Adobe Analytics have noted that competing retailers realize substantial lifts during key deal events, and CIRP’s research indicated most U.S. households are members of at least one retail club. Translation: comparison shopping is the standard. Cross‑check specs, check the panel type on TVs, make sure of RAM and SSD on laptops before clicking buy. When those numbers play in your favor, Walmart’s Apple, Samsung and HP deals can match — and sometimes outstrip — the headline prices elsewhere.
