At PCMag, we know products—our experts review and recommend thousands of them. Our deals team works tirelessly to find the lowest prices on the technology you want most.

Gifting season is right around the corner, but many people also forget that it’s also hosting season, and whether you’re cooking a big dinner or having family fly in from far-off places, your home needs to be guest-ready. Best Buy has you covered when it comes to new TVs, small appliances, and more with their Black Friday Right Now sale. There's still a week left of shopping to do before the holiday rush and every day counts when it comes to getting your package delivered on time during the busiest shipping season.

Best Buy even has a helpful Gift Ideas page to help ease the agony of decision-making when it comes to buying for loved ones. Give it a look for a curated selection of buyer favorites, gifts for those special people in your life, and gifts to keep you within your budget.

Once again, My Best Buy Plus and Total members get extra incentives to shop, including exclusive deals and discounts. All Best Buy shoppers are covered by their Holiday Price Match Guarantee, which gives early shoppers a layer of protection on purchases made between Oct. 27 and Dec. 30. If a sales price drops even lower than what you paid, it can be price matched through Jan. 13. Some exclusions apply, including a list of qualified competitors and the item must be brand new at the time of purchase, so be sure to comb through the fine print before making your purchase.


Lenovo Slim Pro 7 2.5K 14” Touch Laptop

(Ryzen 7/RTX 3060/512GB SSD/16GB RAM)
$899.99 at Best Buy
$1,199.99 Save $300.00

Content creators will love the Lenovo Slim Pro 7, which has everything you need to produce your best images, videos, and graphic designs. The RTX 3050 GPU will give you the edge you need and the 2.5K display is easy on the eyes.

Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 15.6" AMOLED Laptop

(Intel i7/1TB SSD/16GB RAM)
$999.99 at Best Buy
$1,549.99 Save $550.00

Imagine your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but with a bigger screen so you can watch your shows, scroll through Insta, and browse PCMag without squinting. That’s pretty much what the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 brings to the table. The 360-degree hinge allows you to swap between tablet and laptop formats, whichever is most comfortable for you.

Gigabyte G5 15.6" Gaming Laptop

(Intel i7/RTX 4060/512GB SSD/16GB RAM)
$799.99 at Best Buy
$1,099.99 Save $300.00

The RTX 4060 alone is a $300 value, so with the $300 off you’re basically getting the GPU for free. I’ll admit that logic doesn’t quite track, but what does make sense is saving money on this powerful gaming rig, capable of playing most modern day titles at their highest settings.

HP Pavilion TP01 Desktop

(Ryzen 7/1TB SSD/16GB RAM)
$599.99 at Best Buy
$859.99 Save $260.00

This HP Pavilion TP01 desktop has seen a $100 price drop since we last posted about it, making this a very enticing deal. The specs include a speedy Ryzen 7 processor, a huge 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM which not only makes this a formidable daily-use desktop, but opens the door to gaming if you add a dedicated GPU.

HP Omen 25L Gaming Desktop

(13th Gen Intel i5/RTX 3060/1TB SSD/16GB RAM)
$799.99 at Best Buy
$1,279.99 Save $480.00

A desktop is the most bang for your buck, and $799.99 for an RTX 3060 GPU is a great deal. Add to that a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM and you’ll be able to play most modern day titles at their highest settings without breaking a sweat. Just add a decent monitor and you’re good to go.

48” LG A2 OLED 4K Smart TV

This great deal is still available.
$549.99 at Best Buy
$1,299.99 Save $750.00

This LG A2 OLED was only available for My Best Buy members at this price during the Best Buy Early Access sale. But, now anyone can pick up LG’s entry-level OLED for the low price of $550. As someone who just spent twice as much on the C3 model of the same size, I’m seriously considering it (but then I have to take it off the wall and box it up and lug it into a store and—ugh.)

55” Samsung The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV

Who says tech can’t be art?
$979.99 at Best Buy
$1,499.99 Save $520.00

When it isn’t in use, Samsung's “The Frame” smart TV can be used as a canvas for art, whether from their paid gallery or your own photo album. You can even purchase a separate bezel to really sell the arty-ness of this device, so not only are you getting a great 4K television set, but a conversation piece as well.

Sony WF1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds

Best-in-show wireless earbuds.
$249.99 at Best Buy
$299.99 Save $50.00

With some of the best sound quality and active noise cancellation available, these Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds are perfect for audiophiles. Quality of that kind can be a little pricey, but this sale drops the price down to a more manageable $250. Check out our review where they’re given the Editor’s Choice award for wireless earbuds.

Asus ROG Ally 7” 1080p Gaming Handheld

AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor/512GB SSD/120Hz
$619.99 at Best Buy
$699.99 Save $80.00

Asus’s gaming handheld is back on sale again since the Early Access sale and now non-members can enjoy a $80 discount. Members still save $100, bringing the price down to $599.99, so if you missed out on the first sale period now is your chance. For those unfamiliar, the Rog Ally’s slogan is “play ALL Your games” (see what they did there?) and you can access your gaming library across a number of platforms like Steam and Epic to play on the go.

Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle

Someone has been VERY good this year.
$499.99 at Best Buy
$559.99 Save $60.00

If console gaming is more your speed, you can save almost the cost of a modern AAA title when purchasing this 1TB Xbox Series X bundle. Like the title says, the console includes a copy of Diablo IV, which our reviewer called “A hell of a good time.” Makes a great gift for a gamer in your life— including yourself. You deserve it. Plus, you’re covered by that price guarantee I mentioned earlier if this happens to drop in price.

PlayStation 5 Slim - Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Bundle

Slightly different form factor, same great performance.
$499.99 at Best Buy
$549.99 Save $50.00

The PS5 Slim is available now, though it doesn’t give those who have already purchased a PS5 enough reason to part with another $500. It’s only slightly smaller (measuring 14.1 by 3.8 by 8.5 inches (HWD) versus the 15.4-by-4.1-by-10.2-inch measurements of the first-release PS5) and the performance is about the same. If you haven’t yet jumped on the next-gen bandwagon and were planning on getting Modern Warfare III, this bundle will save you some cash.

PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller

Deep Earth Collection colors now available.
$49.99 at Best Buy
$74.99 Save $25.00

PS5 controllers are on sale again, so if you’re trying to collect all the colors or simply want to upgrade to V2 (which offers some small internal changes to lessen the occurrence of joystick drift and is available as of the release of the Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, and Starlight Blue colors) it’s a good time to pick one up. The new Cobalt Blue and Volcanic Red controllers from the Deep Earth Collection (as pictured above) are also on sale and their striking metallic finish is sure to please. I’m personally still waiting for the release of the Sterling Silver color.

Hover-1 Blast Electric Self-Balancing Scooter

Kids and young adults alike love these things.
$89.99 at Best Buy
$119.99 Save $30.00

I’ve seen people from a wide range of ages riding these around my neighborhood. With a maximum speed of 7-mph, it’s certainly faster than walking and this is the closest we’ve come to an honest to goodness sci-fi hoverboard. Just imagine the smile on the face of the gift recipient when they unwrap this (and promptly try to use it in the house).

DJI Mini 3 Pro Remote Control Drone

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s pretty darn cool.
$799.99 at Best Buy
$909.99 Save $110.00

Drones are a hobby enjoyed by many and, though they can be pretty costly to get into, can you really put a price tag on happiness? You can save over $100 on this DJI Mini 3 Pro, which features a remote controller with a built-in screen, 4K video capture, and a tri-directional obstacle sensing. Plus and Total members save an additional $70.
