Last Chance Best Buy Prime Day Top 30 Deals

It’s the home stretch of Best Buy’s two-day flash sale happening in conjunction with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and we’re into the final hours of some of the steepest tech markdowns of 2019. We’ve sifted through dozens of offers to trim the field to the 30 top Best Buy Prime Day deals that are worth your hard-earned cash, from powerhouse laptops and robot vacuums to smart home gear.

Inventory is already changing hourly, and pricing could swing at the last minute as retailers match rivals. Electronics have long seen some of the deepest percentage cuts during big shopping windows, with Adobe Analytics keeping track of discounts as retailers announce them and National Retail Federation surveys reporting that most consumers now start holiday buying earlier to bypass November’s bottlenecks. Translation: if you’ve been biding your time, this seems like a reasonable moment at which to lock in value.

Laptops and tablets worth a look in today’s final hours

For Apple users, the MacBook Air with M3 at $1,099 (or about $400 off select configurations) is the portable to beat. It gives good battery life, quiet operation and plenty of headroom for photo work, coding or heavy multitasking without the heft premium of a pro-class machine.

Windows patriots can kill two bluebirds with one stone by homing in on the Microsoft Surface Laptop around $950 (about $250 off), which combines a good keyboard and color-accurate screen with build quality you generally only see at the top end.

If you’re a fan of Samsung’s ecosystem, there are few sleeker, faster productivity pieces than the Galaxy Book4 dropping to around $751 ($599 off list on select specs).

On a budget, ASUS’ VivoBook 14 for about $350 (often $250 off) and Acer’s Aspire Go 15 for around $390 (about $210 off) are practical options for students or remote workers. Pro tip: Get 16GB of RAM and an SSD if you have to pick between those and marginal CPU bumps; you’ll feel the difference every single day in app responsiveness.

Retailers seem to be cutting real tablets, too. Apple’s 11-inch iPad with A16 silicon is down to about $300 (around $50 off) and will be ample for notetaking, media browsing and light creative tasks. Power users should hop on the iPad Pro M4 at around $899 (also $100 off) for premium display tech and creator performance. If you’re in the hunt for a cheap media slate, Amazon’s Fire HD 10 around $80 (around $100 off) is a low-risk buy for travel and streaming.

Audio picks for quality listening and top-value buys

That said, the $200 (around $50 off) AirPods Pro 2 are still the best everyday earbuds for iPhone owners and have great active noise cancellation, Spatial Audio and a pocketable case with USB‑C charging. They are hardly ever cheaper than that outside of major events.

For over-ears, it’s punchier ANC and USB‑C lossless support from the Beats Studio Pro at around $170 (a whopping ~$180 off), with Android-friendly features like strong multipoint. If you’re more partial to Apple’s aluminum cans, the AirPods Max at $530 (small savings) are still a premium listen; know that the best values among these rotate with big sales and not every month.

Smart home and security highlights with strong discounts

Outdoor cameras and doorbells typically see the steepest price movements in October. Blink Outdoor 4-packs have been persistently going for around $135 (roughly $165 off like-minded bundles), and can get you long-battery-life, easy-to-use multi-camera coverage. They’re a decent option for renters or would-be beginners in the DIY home-security market.

For front-door clarity, Ring’s Wired Doorbell Pro at about $130 (some $100 off) is appealing if you have doorbell wiring and are after sharper motion detection and video in low light. As ever, look over privacy settings, enable two-factor authentication and check your neighborhood’s laws on recording before you install.

Robot vacuums to take over chores at lower prices

If you’ve been dreaming of a hands-off cleaning solution, this is the time. The Roborock Qrevo Pro, around $600 (roughly $400 off), marries strong suction to a mop module and smart dock that makes maintenance easy. It’s the sort of feature set that would have once commanded a four-figure price.

At $350, half off the usual price, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 has a precise mapping feature and a sonic mop for mixed floors; at nearly $480 (approximately $220 off), the Dreame GoVac 400 features strong peak suction and an auto-empty dock.

(Keep in mind suction “Pa” ratings are not uniform across test methods; real-world pickup depends on both brush design and pathing as much as it does raw numbers.)

Networking and home office upgrades for faster workflow

If your ISP plan is faster than your router, you’re leaving speed on the table.

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro for about $629 (up to around $71 off) is a beastly Wi‑Fi 7 system with multi-gig ports, perfect for latency-sensitive homes and gaming or creative pros shunting large files across their NASes and cloud.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook close to $175 (around $74 off) is an easy choice for everyday computing and classroom work. Look for a model with at least 8GB of RAM and a Full HD (that is, 1,920 by 1,080-pixel resolution) display; those two specs more than any other line item on the sheet determine how long you’ll be able to live comfortably in your new system.

How we picked the 30 best deals during this sale event

We zeroed in on discounts of about 20 percent or better, or infrequent deals for items that rarely see them. We cross-referenced price histories with a handful of popular trackers, considered third-party lab testing results from sources such as Consumer Reports, and where possible took into account our own hands-on experience. We also eliminated specs we wouldn’t buy for ourselves.

As the clock winds down, opt for store pickup to avoid carrier delays and lock inventory, sign in to your rewards account for member pricing at checkout and review return windows before you finalize your order.

Don’t expect aggressive price matching during flash sales, and don’t rip the packaging off even if you’re just a little on the fence — open-box restocking fees will eat into your savings.

Bottom line: Prime Day Best Buy deals that matter are here now and they won’t all last past the bell. If one of these top 30 meets your needs, and you find the price is reasonable relative to recent historical lows, then it’s probably time to buy.
