Walmart is offering ambitious pre-event price drops, and they are competing with the kind of prices we see on member-only sales elsewhere.
Highlights include products from Microsoft, Samsung, Apple, ASUS, LG, Beats, JBL, and iRobot (and a record player as well), with many at or around the best prices we’ve seen yet—which means it’s perhaps an opportune time to score big-ticket tech before there’s less of it to go around.
What’s new here is the spread and depth: Walmart’s cuts are making deep incisions into premium tiers, not just entry-level gear. That squares with Adobe’s Digital Price Index data for retail, which shows continuing deflation in electronics online and a promotional “arms race” that intensifies whenever another competing mega-sale looms.
The best Walmart deals available now ahead of Prime Day
- Microsoft Surface Pro 11 for $885 (save $314): With Copilot compatibility, this 2‑in‑1 is powered by the latest Snapdragon silicon and offers amazing battery life along with a best-in-class keyboard experience. It’s a rare opportunity for travelers and hybrid workers to seize a flagship convertible at an upper-midrange price.
- Samsung’s The Frame TV for $1,798 (save $1,202): The art-mode QLED that masquerades as wall decor is back down to a doorbuster price. Make sure you’re getting the anti-glare matte display and the One Connect box (two of the things that made The Frame a living-room showpiece as much as a television). AV testers are always impressed with its ambient viewing and color for a room with lots of light.
- Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen) for $199 (save $40): Still a gold standard among iPhone owners, this pair features adaptive noise cancellation and seamless device switching. At this price, they’re also one of the smartest choices for people who want dependable noise canceling without paying extra for niche audiophile characteristics.
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 for $200 (save $100): It’s among the best-value Android wearables, with dual-frequency GPS, robust health metrics, and a faster processor. It indicates that fitness accuracy gains over prior models—if you run in a dense urban area—are very much a selling point.
- Apple Watch Series 10, $329 (save $70): If you’re inside Apple’s ecosystem, this is the sweet spot for performance, safety features, and app support. It’s the version most buyers should buy unless you have a specific need for Ultra’s battery and dive functions.
- Beats Studio Pro for $250 (save $100): Big, punchy sound with upgraded ANC and better USB‑C support than older Beats cans. Circana’s headphone data indicates that the premium over-ear market has been subject to severe price compression, and this drop is a reflection of that.
- JBL Tune Beam for $59 (save $41): Bass-forward buds with a combined 48 hours of battery life. They’re a solid backup pair or gym set if you’re looking for something with gumption and easy-to-use controls at or under the $60 line.
- iRobot Roomba 105 for $199 (save $101): Entry-level price, with mapping and auto-dock recharging. The last year has seen some massive improvements in budget bot vacs, according to consumer tech reviewers; for mixed hard floors and low-pile rugs, it’s tough to beat if you’re starting out from zero.
Laptops and tablets to snatch up early at Walmart
- ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 for $3,200 (save $200): A massive 18‑incher packed with RTX graphics and a whopping 2TB in SSD storage. If you’ve been hunting for top-tier frames and a high-refresh, color-accurate panel to handle both esports and content work, this is a smart time to buy.
- HP Omen for $1,100 (save $300): A more wallet-friendly gaming rig that still comes through with RTX performance, a 16‑inch display, and 1TB of storage. It’s your sensible choice if you play AAA games at high settings but don’t require every top-end spec.
- Apple MacBook Air for $599 (save $50): Yes, it’s an older chip and 256GB of storage, but the Air is still the most balanced ultraportable for students and everyday creators. At this number, you’re shelling out for a tried-and-true design, phenomenal battery life, and strong resale value.
- Apple iPad for $299 (save $50): A light but versatile tablet with a bright Liquid Retina display and 128GB of storage. For live streaming, lightning-fast note-taking, and everyday creation, it gets just that little bit ahead of most Android alternatives when you consider accessory and app support.
- Acer Aspire Go for $370 (save $79): A no-frills Windows notebook that does the basics—web, docs, and Zoom—right, without bloat. It’s a good choice for classrooms or secondary machines in the home.
Best TV and audio bundles for value during Walmart deals
- LG 65‑inch 4K UHD TV for $398 (save $70): Max out your screen size at a minimum price. Pair it with a streaming stick if you fancy a faster interface; panel value per inch here is your tell.
- Samsung’s Q‑series 3.1ch Dolby Atmos soundbar for $240 (save $139): A significant upgrade over TV speakers with punchy vocals and the ease of wireless connectivity. Q‑Symphony support is a bonus if you have a recent Samsung TV.
- onn. Bluetooth 2.0-Channel Soundbar for $35 (save $5): Low spend, big increase in TV audio clarity. Excellent as a stopgap or bedroom arrangement when you would rather do without a subwoofer—and cables.
- Beats Solo 4 for $130 (save $70): On‑ears that weigh next to nothing, with very good battery life and cool features for iOS users. Great for commutes and study sessions when you prefer an on‑ear fit instead of in‑ears.
How to tell if a deal is really a good deal at Walmart
Cross‑check model numbers and generations. Families of TVs and laptops often share identically named models across years; today’s version may have a completely different panel type, port selection, or processor. Sites like Rtings and independent lab testers analyze panel performance, while Consumer Reports and owner forums help us see what breaks first on appliances and robot vacuums.
Ignore MSRP, pay attention to “street price.” Retail analytics companies like Adobe and market trackers have previously said electronics are often sold well below sticker outside of peak season. A sale that is equal to or lower than the lowest price in several months is a green flag.
Mind fulfillment and returns. Some of the most aggressive rollbacks are online‑only or limited to store pickup. Verify the return windows, restocking fees, and warranty coverage. Screenshot the listing at checkout, and if your credit card provides price protection, filing will be a snap.
Bottom line: the best deals are all for super-fill-in-the-blank-from-your-basement products—Surface Pro 11, The Frame TV, Galaxy Watch 7, AirPods Pro, and the $240 Samsung Atmos bar—that marry mature hardware with unusually steep discounts. If one works for you and the model is good, there might not be a better number once stock dwindles.
