Massive Best Buy Presidents' Day sale is live now — 27 deals I recommend
Massive savings on iPads, Bose, LG and more
Best Buy is one of my go-to stores for deals. Now that we're inching closer to Presidents' Day, the retailer has unveiled a new batch of deals on everything from Apple gear to 4K TVs. However, not all of Best Buy's sales merit your attention.
Below I'm rounding up 27 of the best early Presidents' Day deals you can shop at Best Buy. This includes some epic deals on gear the staff at Tom's Guide has tested and recommends. One of the best deals right now — and perhaps of 2024 so far — is the MacBook Air 15 (M2) on sale for $999 at Best Buy. That's the lowest price ever for this Editor's Choice Mac. (I purchased this Mac last year and can attest it's an amazing machine). Make sure to follow our Presidents Day sales guide for more early deals this month.
