MacBook Air (M2/256GB): was $1,099 now $899 @ Best Buy
My Best Buy Plus Price! I can't believe that the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 is once again selling for $899. That's hands-down my favorite Apple deal of 2023. There is a small caveat. This price is for My Best Buy Plus members only. You can sign up for My Best Buy Plus via this link. It's essentially Best Buy's version of Amazon Prime. Otherwise, non-members pay $949, which is still an epic deal. The MacBook Air M2 boasts a load of great features. It includes a larger 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, 1080p FaceTime camera, four-speaker system with Spatial Audio, and MagSafe charging.

Insignia 50-inch 4K UHD Smart Fire TV: was $349 now $219 @ Amazon

It's a 4K Ultra-HD TV that also features HDR10 support and DTS Studio sound. Not to mention it comes with an Alexa-enabled voice remote, so you can control your new TV with just the sound of your voice.

LG A2 48" 4K OLED TV: was $1,299 now $649 @ Best Buy
The A2 is LG's entry-level OLED. In our LG A2 OLED review, we said it offers a wonderfully colorful picture and fairly strong audio. It offers Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, LG's webOS platform, and built-in Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa. Console gamers take note: It's a budget model, so you only get a 60Hz panel and three HDMI ports, with no HDMI 2.1 support. Otherwise, it's great for casual gaming and streaming. This is $80 shy of its all-time Black Friday price low and one of the least-expensive OLED TVs of all time.
