We put hundreds of hours into VPN testing at TechRadar and we rate NordVPN as the best VPN there is.

In addition to discounts on tools, garden equipment, and grills, the retailer also has an extensive range of deals on major appliances like refrigerators, ranges, and much more.
Paramount+ 'Premium' two-month subscription: was $12.99 per month now $0.99 at Paramount
This is a record-low price for Paramount+'s 'Premium' subscription tier. If you want ad-free, 4K, Dolby Vision access to the streamer, then this discount on a two-month subscription is not to be missed. It's also available for its ad-supported 'Essential' tier, but we'd recommend signing to the 'Premium' plan as it offers better value. Just beware, this limited-time deal expires on July 13.

Here's your chance to score a reliable laptop on the cheap.

Televisions
Amazon's cheapest early Prime Day TV deal is the 32-inch Insignia HD smart TV, now on sale for a record-low price of $79.99. This is a fantastic deal if you're looking to add a smaller display to an extra bedroom. While the Insignia F20 Series lacks 4K resolution, you're getting the Fire TV experience built-in and an Alexa voice remote.
The LG B4 is one of the most affordable OLED TVs on the market, and you can get the 48-inch model on sale for $549.99. Ranked in our best TV list as the best cheap OLED TV, the LG B4 delivers a premium picture experience thanks to its self-lit OLED pixels and Dolby Vision, which enhances color and contrast beyond what the average backlit TV can do. Its built-in gaming features and 120Hz refresh rate make it an unbeatable deal for gamers looking to upgrade.
If you're looking for a mid-size budget TV, this Insignia 50-inch display is an incredible deal at only $179.99. The Insignia F50 Series TV features 4K HD resolution, DTS Studio Sound, smart capabilities with the Fire operating system, and a voice remote with hands-free Alexa, so you can use your voice to control your TV.
This brand-new version of the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is on sale for its lowest price yet. The mid-sized 4K display supports HDR 10, offering a sharp, clear, and vibrant image for TV shows, movies, and sports. All major streaming apps are ready to go, too, plus there's voice control support through Alexa. It's an all-around solid TV for the price if you need an affordable and capable display.
This deal on the 65-inch TCL QM7K is one of the best early Prime Day TV offers going. At just $999, a 33% discount, Amazon is selling the QM7K for a record-low price. In our TCL QM7K review, we noted its bright picture and solid, blooming-free blacks, and also appreciated the excellent sound quality from its Audio by Bang & Olufsen built-in speakers. This deal is an excellent price for the TCL QM7K, and we don’t expect it to go any lower on Prime Day proper, so snap it up now.
Just ahead of the 4th of July, Best Buy has LG's stunning 65-inch C4 OLED TV on sale for $1,299.99. That's a $1,200 discount and a record-low price. Ranked number one in our best TV guide, the 2024 C4 features exceptional brightness, LG's latest Alpha 9 AI chip for improved performance, and impressive gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support, as well as 144Hz certification from Nvidia.
The all-new LG C5 was just released in March of this year, and Amazon has the 65-inch model on sale for a stunning price of $1,696.99. Awarded five out of five stars in our review, the OLED display delivers an outstanding picture thanks to LG's Alpha 9 AI processor Gen8, impressive gaming features, and a comprehensive smart platform with all-new AI features.
If you're looking for a big-screen budget display, Best Buy has this 70-inch 4K TV on sale for $479.99. This entry-level TV from Samsung covers all the basics with 4K Ultra HD support, an easy-to-use Tizen operating system, and access to all the major streaming apps, all for under $450. It's not the fastest, the most powerful or packed with the most premium features, but it's good value for money if you need a straightforward but capable display for your everyday viewing and media streaming.
A 75-inch 4K smart TV for under $400 is an unbeatable deal. Toshiba's C350 is a 4K TV with HDR support, delivering solid picture quality for everyday viewing. Access to streaming apps is easy with the Fire TV OS, which has Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and more at your fingertips. It's not as powerful as many premium options, but if you're on a tight budget and want a large display, this is an excellent option.
The Hisense U6N Mini-LED TV is a great budget pick for anyone looking to upgrade their living room with a bigger screen or with the improved picture quality that mini LEDs offer. It features full array local dimming, which can precisely tune color and contrast to the image on the screen, and further refines details with AI upscaling. While it might not be the best gaming TV out there, it also does a decent job with Game Mode Plus and the features it offers like VRR, Auto Low Latency Mode, and AMD Freesync. You can get the Hisense U6N in various sizes, but this deal specifically applies to the 75-inch one.
If you're looking for a big-screen premium display, Best Buy has Samsung's 77-inch S90D OLED TV on sale for its lowest price yet. The 2024 OLED display delivers an exceptional picture with deep blacks, bright colors, and Pantone-validated colors. You're also getting Motion Xcelerator 144Hz for a smooth gaming experience, as well as Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Lite for premium sound.
Amazon devices
Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? Amazon's early Prime Day deals include the all-new Echo Pop for just $21.99 - the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now. For that money, you're getting a compact smart speaker with Alexa built in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free.
The Echo Spot is already in my shopping cart, and I can't wait for it to arrive. Amazon's brand-new Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touch screen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms. Today's early Prime Day deal is a return to the record-low price.
Get a cheap streaming device with Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick on sale for just $17.99 with code FTVHDADD at checkout. In our Fire TV Stick review, we found that the original version offered a cost-effective way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to HD streaming apps, Alexa voice controls, and the ability to control other smart home devices.
The best-selling Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution and is also on sale for just $24.99, thanks to Amazon's 50% discount. It's a solid streaming stick with access to all the major apps and support for voice controls through Alexa.
The Kindle Scribe combines the best of a notepad, e-reader, and tablet. Not only does it allow you to read all your favorite books, but you can also create handwritten comments and write full notes. Its 10.2-inch, 300 ppi glare-free screen makes text look super-crisp, while smart AI features offer up summaries and improve handwriting recognition. Once you add the $140 discount, you’ve got a very tempting package.
If you're looking for a larger smart home display, Amazon has the latest Echo Show 8 on sale for $109.99. Thanks to Alexa compatibility, the eight-inch display allows you to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices completely hands-free.
This might be the best early Prime Day deal: Amazon's latest tablet, the Fire HD 10, is down to a new record-low price, and I don't imagine it will drop further on Prime Day itself. It features a large, bright 10-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM, and an octa-core processor for enhanced performance. The tablet also works with Amazon Alexa and provides an impressive 12 hours of battery life.
Here's another record-low price on Amazon's most powerful (and largest) Fire tablet. The vivid 11-inch display is ideal for streaming your favorite shows, reading a book, or playing games. The battery life is up to 14 hours, while the optional stylus and keyboard add extra functionality to this capable tablet. It's also easy to do light admin work with.
The Ring Indoor Cam is an excellent addition to the company’s growing suite of security products. It can monitor your entire home with 1080p HD video, live View, and Color Night Vision, plus two-way audio and alerts sent to your phone. Today's deal on a two pack is a record-low price
The 4th generation Blink outdoor security camera features enhanced motion detection, two-way audio, a two-year battery life, and works with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. Today's early Prime Day deal is a massive 62% discount and a record-low price.
Amazon's best early Prime Day smart home bundle is the best-selling Ring Battery Doorbell with the Ring Indoor Cam for only $69.99 - a 50% discount. The smart doorbell features a built-in battery and, like the Ring Indoor Cam, enables you to see, hear, and speak with anyone from your phone or computer.
Apple devices
Best Buy and Amazon are both selling the Apple AirTag 4-pack for only $74.99, down from the $99 list price. This isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen, but it's still a great price if you need more than one AirTag, dropping the price under $20 each. There might be better sales coming, but it's better to buy these now than lose your keys later.
The budget Apple Watch SE is down to $189 at Walmart's 4th of July sale. The Apple Watch SE tracks activity, sleep, and calories burned and will notify you when a high or low heart rate is detected. The water-resistant smartwatch also helps you stay connected by allowing you to receive notifications, take calls, and reply to texts directly from your wrist.
If you're looking for Apple's latest and greatest smartwatch, Walmart also has the Apple Watch Series 10 on sale for a record-low price of $319. The Apple Watch 10 includes upgrades such as Apple's new S10 chipset, sleep apnea detection, depth gauge, and a new design featuring the most advanced display.
Amazon's early Prime Day sale has the all-new AirPods 4 on sale for only $119.99 - just $10 shy of the record-low price. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for USB-C for wireless charging.
Amazon's early Prime Day sale has a $50 discount on the best-selling AirPods Pro 2. The earbuds sound excellent; the noise cancellation is top-tier, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is amazing for movies, and they even have an unlosable case, thanks to technology that points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, which is great for comfort.
Unfortunately, this is a long way from the lowest-ever price for the AirPods Max but likely the best deal we'll see for a few months. The headphones use an Apple-designed dynamic driver to provide high-fidelity audio and they sound fantastic for it. Exceptional active noise cancellation, personalized Spatial Audio, and Dolby Atmos support all reinforce that. They feel good on your head as well thanks to the knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions so you can easily wear them for the 20 hours of battery life.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Verizon's best-ever iPhone 16 Pro deal is back again this week, with the carrier currently offering the device for free alongside any of its MyPlan unlimited plans. As before, no trade-ins are needed here and the basic Welcome Unlimited plan is also covered in the eligibility. That means it's possible to get up to four devices on a plan for just $120 per month ($30/mo each). In addition, Verizon is also throwing in a free iPad and Apple Watch, although note you will have to pay a little extra per month for cellular lines if you claim these freebies.
The latest Apple iPad A16 is back to its lowest-ever price at Best Buy. This has actually settled as a fairly standard price for the entry-level tablet, but still well worth taking advantage of if you have an eye on the latest Apple slate. Just be aware that a larger discount could be coming in the next few months. The biggest upgrade compared to the previous generation model is the latest A16 chip for faster performance. You also get double the storage of 128GB as standard, a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and solid 12MP front and back cameras.
There's a $100 saving on the latest iPad Pro 11-inch at Best Buy, which brings it back down to the record-low price from Black Friday. This is still a pricey tablet that's $200 more than the base price for both previous-generation models, but you do get the brand-new M4 chip, high-quality tandem OLED display and twice as much storage (256GB) as standard. Expect this to be one of the better offers we see in the early days of the tablet's life.
Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB
If you're looking for a powerful MacBook, here's a $150 discount on the upgraded 512GB MacBook Air, which brings the price down to a record low. We're not a huge fan of the massive surcharge Apple wants for a storage upgrade, but this is likely to be the lowest price we'll see for a while on this configuration.
Laptops
Processor: Intel Celeron N100
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 64GB
If you're on a budget and only need a laptop for the basics, you could consider picking up this 14-inch HP Chromebook. It's not a world-beater by any stretch of the imagination with these specs, but considering how lightweight ChromeOS is, you don't need much for a smooth experience. If you're just browsing or answering emails, then this cheap Chromebook will be a good choice.
Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - AMD Ryzen 5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
One of the best cheap laptops in Best Buy's 4th of July sale is this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a reasonable 256GB SSD that all work together to ensure good overall performance and enough essential speedy storage for the price. Even though I've seen a similar spec for under $300 in the past, I still recommend it now if you're on a budget and need a laptop for general everyday use, admin tasks, light work, or schoolwork.
Processor: Intel Core i7-1355U
RAM: 12GB
Storage: 256GB
Another great budget option, this 15-inch HP Laptop features a powerful chipset for the money. You'll get decent performance out of this machine, although a relatively small 256GB SSD means it doesn't have a huge amount of storage. Still, for a basic Windows 11 machine, this laptop is a decent choice.
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7-258V
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 1TB SSD
The Dell 14 Plus is one of our favorite mid-range Windows laptops thanks to its excellent design and competitive specs. This particular configuration is a little on the pricey end, but you do get an Ultra 7 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 2.5K display - meaning it's absolutely stacked for features. If I was looking for a decent everyday laptop for everything from work to demanding productivity applications, then I'd be very tempted by this deal.
Processor: Snapdragon X Elite
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 1TB SSD
No list of Dell laptop deals is complete without one of the brand's well-known premium XPS models. Right now, one of the biggest discounts you'll find anywhere on site is for this Snapdragon-equipped model, which also features an impressive 32GB of RAM. With a Snapdragon chipset, you'll get great performance and almost unbeatable battery life out of this model, although it does lack the Thunderbolt 4 ports that are exclusive to Intel models.
Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB
If you're looking for a powerful MacBook, here's a $150 discount on the upgraded 512GB MacBook Air, which brings the price down to a record low. We're not a huge fan of the massive surcharge Apple wants for a storage upgrade, but this is likely to be the lowest price we'll see for a while on this configuration.
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 5060
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7-240H
RAM: 16GB DDR5
Storage: 1TB
This Alienware Aurora 16 isn't the cheapest laptop on the market, but you're getting an Intel Core Ultra-7 240H chipset, RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD - excellent specs for next-gen 1080p gaming.If you need a decent machine with a premium build, then this is a fantastic choice in the Dell Black Friday in July sale.
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 5090
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX
RAM: 32GB DDR5
Storage: 1TB
Use the code LEVELUP20 at checkout to bring this insanely powerful HP gaming laptop down from $3,599 to just $2,399.99 at the official HP Store today. That's a total saving of $1,200 on a machine with an RTX 5090 graphics card, Ultra 9 275HX chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
Appliances
Best Buy 4th of July appliances sale: up to 50% off major appliances
Best Buy has already taken up to 50% off major appliances ahead of this year's 4th of July sales, with savings of up to $1,800 available on washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, and microwaves from all the top brands such as LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, and more. But that's not all. There's also up to an extra 20% off select appliances, additional discounts on laundry bundles and free installation with select products. As with Memorial Day and Labor Day, it's one of the best times of the year to pick up a new appliance.
It's only $20 off, but let's not forget that this was already one of the best budget-friendly air fryers out there, which we also awarded four stars in our review. The 4-quart ceramic-coated basket is perfect for cooking and crisping up food with a capacity of around 2 lb. of French fries. It's easy to use too, with three preset functions and dishwasher-safe parts for an effortless cleanup.
One of the best Nespresso machines we've tested, the Pop+ got a makeover in limited edition pistachio green this summer, and now it's got a huge price cut for Prime Day. You're getting the Pop+ machine with extra large water tank, plus a sample box of Nespresso Vertuo capsules, all for a bargain price.
Make your beloved iced coffee at home and save money with the Keurig K-Iced coffee maker, which is on sale for $59. The coffee maker can brew hot and cold coffee in minutes with Keurig's convenient K-Cup Pods.
The Ninja Creami ice cream maker has been a best-seller since its release, and Walmart's 4th of July sale has the popular appliance for $169. You can make ice cream, milkshakes, and sorbets with the touch of a button and add your favorite mix-ins and flavors.
Amazon's early Prime Day sale features the top-rated Chefman air fryer for just $69.94 – a record-low price. The six-quart air fryer features Hi-Fry technology that delivers extra-crispy food and four one-touch cooking presets.
Dyson vacuums are consistently best sellers during holiday sales, such as Prime Day, and Amazon has a $120 discount on the highly rated V8 Plus model. Perfect for pet owners, it features powerful suction that works across hardwood floors and carpets and can transform into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.
The SharkPowerDetect Clean & Empty is a powerful cordless vacuum with useful automation features and an effort-saving auto-empty dock. It's now at its lowest ever price ahead of Prime Day, with $170 off. There's also a discount on the vacuum on its own if you don't need the dock.
Home appliances are a hot category on Prime Day, and last year, the Shark Navigator was a top seller. The upright vacuum works on both carpet and hard floors, featuring lift-away technology that allows you to easily clean hard-to-reach areas by simply lifting the pod.
The Ninja Crispi Air Fryer is now $20 off, marking its lowest price yet. It features four cooking modes, including Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The Ninja Crispi comes with 4-qt and 6-cup TempWare glass containers with heat-safe feet that protect the glass from cracking while cooking and also the surfaces you're cooking on.
This Black+Decker Dustbuster is on my wish list this Prime Day, and it's $20 off at Amazon's early sale. The handheld vacuum is lightweight, powerful, portable, easy to recharge, and features an extra-long crevice tool for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.
This fan and purifier is back down to its lowest-ever price, with $100 off. It comes equipped with a HEPA 13 and activated carbon filter to capture and remove particles, gases and odors from the air, and can oscillate almost an entire circle for widespread cooling. This deal is also available direct from Dyson, if you prefer.
If you don't want to shell out for the pricey Dyson Airwrap, Amazon's early Prime Day sale has the Shark Flexstyle on sale for only $249. For that price, you get a powerful hairdryer that minimizes damage to your hair, plus attachments to curl and blow out your hair.
Phones and tablets

Mint Mobile's Summer Savings event offers a fantastic intro promotion for those looking to try the carrier for cheap. For a limited time, you can get the carrier's excellent prepaid unlimited plan for just $45 upfront. That averages out to just $15/mo, which is easily one of the cheapest unlimited plans on the market currently.
Samsung Galaxy S25: was $799 now $360, plus one year of free unlimited data at Mint Mobile
Mint's latest deals on the Galaxy S25 series are the best we've seen yet from the carrier. All three devices are available with a massive $440 upfront discount and two years of unlimited data for $15/mo. That's a half-price plan, and even better yet, no trade-ins are required at all to get these discounts. Note, however, that this deal is only eligible with a switch.
Galaxy S25 Plus: was $999 now $560 at Mint
Galaxy S25 Ultra: was $1,299 now $860 at Mint
Best Buy is offering one of the best phone deals I've ever seen, just in time for July 4th. The retailer has cut the price of the Motorola Razr Plus 2023 from $999.99 to $349.99, a huge $650 discount on a hugely capable phone. At release, the Razr Plus 2023 blew us away with its combination of powerful internals and cutting-edge design, and even two years later it still leads the competition with its excellent cover display and tasteful aesthetics. You'll struggle to find a more powerful phone for less.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: free with a new line on an eligible plan at T-Mobile
T-Mobile's latest deal on the Galaxy S25 Edge offers this brand-new device for free without the need for a pesky trade-in. While you will still need a new line on an Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan (the more expensive options), it's possible to waive the entire $1,100 cost of this device. The carrier also throws in a 512GB device for the price of a 256GB version, which is another reason to check out this deal.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a true beast of a phone. With a 6.9-inch display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, you won't be left wanting when it comes to hardware. The handset also boasts four rear cameras, including a 200MP main snapper and two telephoto zoom lenses. Amazon's latest discount knocks $200 off the price of this feature-packed flagship, and while it's still not cheap, it's a welcome deal all the same.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Verizon's best-ever iPhone 16 Pro deal is back again this week, with the carrier currently offering the device for free alongside any of its MyPlan unlimited plans. As before, no trade-ins are needed here and the basic Welcome Unlimited plan is also covered in the eligibility. That means it's possible to get up to four devices on a plan for just $120 per month ($30/mo each). In addition, Verizon is also throwing in a free iPad and Apple Watch, although note you will have to pay a little extra per month for cellular lines if you claim these freebies.
The latest Apple iPad A16 is back to its lowest-ever price at Best Buy. This has actually settled as a fairly standard price for the entry-level tablet, but still well worth taking advantage of if you have an eye on the latest Apple slate. Just be aware that a larger discount could be coming in the next few months. The biggest upgrade compared to the previous generation model is the latest A16 chip for faster performance. You also get double the storage of 128GB as standard, a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and solid 12MP front and back cameras.
There's a $100 saving on the latest iPad Pro 11-inch at Best Buy, which brings it back down to the record-low price from Black Friday. This is still a pricey tablet that's $200 more than the base price for both previous-generation models, but you do get the brand-new M4 chip, high-quality tandem OLED display and twice as much storage (256GB) as standard. Expect this to be one of the better offers we see in the early days of the tablet's life.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is the high-end device in Samsung's lineup of last-generation tablets, and this huge $500 discount brings it down to its lowest price yet. It may be older now, but it still boasts some great features and performance, thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. There's also an improved 12.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display for solid all-around performance, plus fantastic picture quality whether you're working, streaming TV shows, or playing games..
Cameras
The GoPro Hero 11 Black has been an action camera mainstay over the years and now the Mini version is back to a record-low price. This may be an older model now, but it still holds up against many of the latest and greatest action cameras – and is excellent value for money. It boasts solid battery life and good sensors for vertical videos that make it a smart pick for social media. However, be aware that audio quality still isn't great and it isn't the best in low light settings. Still, it flew off the shelves at this price last time, so expect it to be a popular pick here too.
The Insta360 X4 is the best handheld 360-degree camera available, with 8K video, slick slow-motion video and a handy 4K single lens mode. It's rugged and waterproof, and it boasts powerful image stabilization to smooth out your videos. Throw in a bunch of fun video modes and easy editing, and you'll be making videos otherwise impossible with a phone. It can act as a 360-degree camera, shoot underwater action, be used for vlogging or even as a dash cam, complete with an invisible selfie stick for capturing dynamic third-person perspectives. Want a second camera for vacation? The X4 could be the one, and it's great value at this sale price.
The Nikon Z6 III is a superb body that we rate as the best mirrorless camera for most people because of its excellent performance, autofocus, video, and handling. It's just an extremely solid hybrid all-rounder with its impressive 24.5MP full-frame partially stacked sensor, vastly improved autofocus, and 6K video up to 60fps. Our Nikon Z6 III review awarded this excellent camera a full five stars out of five, so it's an easy recommendation at this lowest-ever price.
B&H Photo: was $2496 now $2,196.95
Classic retro style, full frame 24MP sensor, Nikon's best in-body image stabilisation, smart manual focus controls, and a dedicated black and white color mode – all for a record-low price. The retro-style camera market is big business and it attracts larger-than-life price tags. However, Nikon's Zf packs a technological punch alongside producing excellent image quality.
B&H Photo: was $1999 now $1,896.95
The Panasonic S5 II is easily one of our favorite hybrid flagships right now - especially because today's discount at Adorama makes it a competitive choice to the likes of the Nikon Z6 III. Highlight features for the S5 II include a new 24MP full-frame sensor with phase detection AF (a first for Panasonic), uncropped 6K / 30p video, and superb image stabilization. We were also impressed by the S5 II's rugged build quality and overall well-thought-out ergonomics, which is obviously handy when pairing up with some of the larger lenses available in the L-Mount ecosystem. Check out our Panasonic S5 II review for more details on this excellent camera.
B&H Photo: was $1997 now $1,596.95
Sony camera deals are thin on the ground right now, no doubt in small part due to the ongoing tariffs situation. With that said, I would still recommend the original Sony A7C for this price at Adorama. It's coming in at a price that's way cheaper than the A7 III while offering similar specs. While technically outdated now, you're still getting a decent 24MP full-frame sensor, 4K video at 30FPS, and good autofocus - all in a body that's extremely compact.

Amazon Prime gaming: get six games for $100 free
If you're a Prime member, you're already entitled to a free Prime gaming and Twitch subscription. There is an additional perk in the build-up to this year's Amazon Prime Day, however - six free games. The games in question here are slightly older titles from the Saints Row, Star Wars, and Tomb Raider franchises, but they all add up to a pretty hefty free gift. Check it out if you're a gamer!
Hallmark+ add-on subscription to Prime Video: was $7.99 a month now $0.99 at Prime Video
If you celebrate Christmas in July, then you're going to love this Prime Video subscription add-on discount for Hallmark+. The deal has come at the perfect time, because it means you can stream new movies from its Christmas in July collection like Mistletoe Murders, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story andThe Motherhood for a fraction of the usual price. Just be aware that this offer ends on July 11.
Headphones
Amazon's early Prime Day sale has a $50 discount on the best-selling AirPods Pro 2. The earbuds sound excellent; the noise cancellation is top-tier, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is amazing for movies, and they even have an unlosable case, thanks to technology that points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, which is great for comfort.
Amazon's early Prime Day sale has the all-new AirPods 4 on sale for only $119.99 - just $10 shy of the record-low price. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for USB-C for wireless charging.
Unfortunately, this is a long way from the lowest-ever price for the AirPods Max but likely the best deal we'll see for a few months. The headphones use an Apple-designed dynamic driver to provide high-fidelity audio and they sound fantastic for it. Exceptional active noise cancellation, personalized Spatial Audio, and Dolby Atmos support all reinforce that. They feel good on your head as well thanks to the knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions so you can easily wear them for the 20 hours of battery life.
In our 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51 review, we gushed over these headphones' surprisingly strong sound quality, brilliant 65 hours worth of playtime, and sleek on-ear look. In fact, we rated them so highly that they earned the title of 'best budget headphones' in our guide to the best headphones – no mean feat. The Sonoflow Pro come with everything you could possibly need from a pair of modern ANC cans. They offer 'hi-res' Bluetooth listening thanks to their use of Sony's LDAC codec, a feature-packed companion app, and even a passthrough mode if you want to be more aware of your surroundings.
The top-rated Beats Solo 4 headphones are on sale for $129.95 - just $30 more than the lowest-ever price. This model supports lossless audio playback via USB-C or a 3.5mm audio cable, as well as Spatial Audio, which utilizes head tracking to enhance your listening experience. These headphones also last up to 50 hours on a single charge and can regain five hours of playback time in just 10 minutes of charging.
If you're a fan of Apple products and on a budget, Apple's wired headphones are on sale for only $15.99 - a record-low price. A slim, quality-looking design, clear sound, and comfortable fit are just a few of their best qualities. The earbuds also work with all devices that have a USB-C port and feature a built-in remote and microphone.

Lego has produced many Millennium Falcon sets, but this smaller one, which debuted for the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, is an excellent model and even better with a 20% discount. It's currently available at the lowest price ever, at $67.89, and makes a superb display piece.

I've covered major sales events like the 4th of July sales, Amazon Prime Day, and Black Friday for almost five years here at TechRadar. Subsequently, I know exactly where to find the best deals and the best prices on tech that our team has tested and loved. Regardless of whether you're looking for appliances, laptops, or a new TV, I'm confident you'll find the best deals right here.
Save $250 on this powerful blender
The Vitamix Propel 750 blender will rewrite your definition of what a blender can be, thanks to it's incredibly powerful motor and super-simple design that couldn't be easier to use. If a Vitamix has been out of your budget range, or you never heard of this kitchen counter monster, you can find an affordable model now at the best price I've ever seen: $379 on Amazon, down $250 from the $629 list price.
What can you do with a blender this powerful? Besides smoothies, soups, and salsas, you can do things you'd never expect a blender could do. You can puree a soup until its smooth, then keep going until the friction with the blades heats the soup. Don't buy flour for baking, you can just buy wheat berries and mill your own flour in the Vitamix. And for blending tasks like nut butters and juices, it gives you
Vitamix Propel Series 750: was $629 now $379 at Amazon
It's only an 11% discount post the 4th of July, but if you have a bunch of leftovers after a BBQ this weekend, you'll want to consider the Ninja Crispi. Ninja's latest air-fryer is on steroids as the base for whatever you're cooking, reheating, or even crisping. It is also a dishwasher-safe glass container.
The Crispi is a versatile countertop kitchen appliance that can reheat leftovers – and yes, make fries crispy, not soggy – while also serving as a convenient way to prepare lunch or dinner. Better yet, you can pick between Sage, Stone, or Navy.
Ninja Crispi: was $179.99 now $159.98 at Amazon
Walmart's 4th of July sale is still live
Walmart's 4th of July sale is still live today. That means you can still shop deals on patio furniture, TVs, kitchen appliances, vacuums, Apple devices, and summer essentials.
I've linked my Walmart 4th of July roundup below, which has the 23 best deals, including ice cream makers, the Apple Watch, cheap big-screen TVs, and robot vacuums.
When are the 4th of July sales ending?
Luckily, you've got a few days yet to get yourself some decent discounts. Best Buy's sale will end tomorrow (Sunday) night, whereas Home Depot and Lowe's will continue their sales all the way until next Wednesday (9th).
As stated several times in this blog, Amazon Prime Day is set to start next Tuesday so it's going to be a very busy time for deals next week for sure. If you're looking for discounts on tech, then you'll definitely have some great options. For things like major appliances, however, I'd totally recommend picking those up before Prime Day starts. The 4th of July sales are usually better for discounts on refrigerators, ranges, and larger white goods. Prime Day tends to be more about small appliances like air fryers and coffee makers, as well as other tech categories.
Our coverage this weekend and next week
Did everyone have a great 4th of July? We're still carrying-on our coverage throughout the weekend as we head into 'Prime Week' but expect less updates while our staff take a well-needed break.
As an overview, most of the big 4th of July sales usually run through the weekend until Sunday, after which they'll either expire or transition to rival Prime Day sales. Note that Amazon Prime Day doesn't officially start until Tuesday but expect things to ramp-up quickly next week as Best Buy, Walmart, and several other retailers are holding big rival sales. A lot of people are calling it 'Black Friday in July', but I don't think it's quite at that level personally.
Stock up on some classic Blu-Rays at Amazon
Another great post from our TVs writer James, this time on a superb sale on a wide range of classic Criterion Blu-rays at Amazon. Check out his post for his detailed movie recommendations, otherwise, here's a brief overview of that deal:
Save up to 50% on Criterion Collection 4K Blu-rays at Amazon
Criterion Collection's 4K Blu-ray releases and restorations are among the best on the market. Several disc have featured in our Blu-ray Bounty roundups, thanks to their exceptional picture and audio quality. There are a ton of movies to choose from in this sale, with a massive 50% off some incredible titles including Godzilla (1954), Seven Samurai, Punch Drunk Love, Mulholland Drive, The Breakfast Club and more. If you're looking to add to your 4K disc collection, this is the place to look.
A great buy for coffee lovers today
A real highlight for coffee lovers today, you can get the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ in Limited Edition Pistachio for just $99.99 (was $139.95) at Amazon today thanks to an early Prime Day deal.
Our homes editor Cat wrote up a post covering this deal where she details that this is one of her favorite budget coffee makers. It's quick and easy to use, provides great results, and this particular model also comes with a larger water tank and a height-adjustable base, meaning it can accommodate all types of cups and mugs.
One of the best Nespresso machines we've tested, the Pop+ got a makeover in limited edition pistachio green this summer, and now it's got a huge price cut for Prime Day. You're getting the Pop+ machine with extra large water tank, plus a sample box of Nespresso Vertuo capsules, all for a bargain price.
An amazing TV for sports
Another recommendation from James our TVs writer - this time on the stunning Samsung QN90D. This premium display is currently on sale for $1599.99 (was $2499) over at Best Buy today and it's worth every penny (in our opinion).
The QN90D isn't a cheap TV but we rate it as the best TV for sports right now thanks to its stunning brightness, ultra-responsiveness, and superb motion processing. Overall, this isn't a record-low price, but it's a pretty good deal in our books since tariffs have really hit a lot of import tech recently.
These are the best Dyson vac deals today
Need a decent vac? I'd recommend turning your attention to homes editor Ruth's recent post on today's best Dyson deals in the 4th of July sales. She's picked out 6 options ranging from super basic (and slightly older) models to some of the more recent premium options. Here's a quick overview:
The V7 is really getting on a bit now, and isn't included in Dyson's main range any more. There's $80 off at Amazon ahead of Prime Day – not the cheapest this vacuum has been, but a decent deal if you've decided this is the model for you. It's lightweight and very easy to maneuver, and comes with a detangling floorhead.
The Gen5detect is the newest and best Dyson vacuum based on specs, and the place to go for a discount is Dyson direct, where there's a massive $150 off. That's not the cheapest this premium vacuum has ever been, but it's still a strong discount. It has the longest battery life you'll find in the range, with up to 70 minutes of cleaning on one charge. In our Dyson Gen5detect review, our reviewer was fascinated by the real-time dust reports, which show you exactly what's being sucked up and when the floor is clean. We're also fans of the fluffy floorhead with a bright laser to illuminate every last speck of dirt.
The V11 isn't the latest and greatest Dyson vacuum, but for many people it'll offer the best balance of price to features. There's a massive $150 off right now – not the cheapest price we've ever seen on a V11, but an excellent discount nonetheless. There's strong suction, a supremely maneuverable floorhead, and useful features like an LCD screen to provide information.
If you want more detail tools, the V11 Extra is $449.99 (was $599.99) at Walmart or direct from Dyson.com.
The V15 Detect is one down from the latest-and-greatest Dyson vacuum, with advanced features like dust particle sensing and automatic adjustment, plus a dedicated Fluffy cleaner head for hard floors, with lasers to highlight dirt that might be missed. Head to our V15 Detect review to find out more. This Amazon Prime Day sale knocks $180 off. That's just $20 more than the lowest price we have on record for this vacuum, and an incredibly good deal.
If you want more accessories, check out the V15 Detect Extra for $599.99 (was $799.99) at Best Buy instead.
This is an excellent deal on Dyson's superb V8 vacuum – it's $10 shy of the lowest ever price we've seen on the V8 Plus. This is the oldest model in the current lineup, but remains ultra-popular. The vacuum is simple but very effective, with strong suction and great maneuverability. The Plus version comes with a Hair screw tool borrowed from newer models – it's perfect for getting hair (and dust) off furniture. You can read all about it in our Dyson V8 review.
If you have a lot of hard floors, the V8 Absolute comes with a separate Fluffy floorhead, and is $349.99 (was $519.99) at Walmart or at Dyson.com. Or if you don't need the fluffy head but could do with some more detail tools, there's the V8 Extra for $418.99 (was $469.99) at Walmart.
The V12 is a scaled-down vacuum that's perfect for smaller homes. It launched alongside the V15 and as such has a lot of the same premium features, including real-time dust reports, automatic suction adjustment and floorhead lasers. In our V12 Detect Slim review our tester was especially impressed with how light and maneuverable this vacuum is, and with $200 off at Dyson, it's a bit of a steal right now. Beware: the dust cup is small, so it's not one for large homes with lots of dust or pet hair.
New perk added for Prime Members
Just added to our 'perks and freebies' section above is a little bonus deal that I missed the other day when I was rounding them up. Right now, Prime members can get a super cheap subscription add-on to Hallmark+, bringing the price for the service down from $7.99 to just $0.99. While a little more niche than some services, Hallmark+ is worth checking out if you're a fan.
Looking for content to watch? Check out this post by our new streaming writer Jasmine for bespoke recommendations!
Hallmark+ add-on subscription to Prime Video: was $7.99 a month now $0.99 at Prime Video
If you celebrate Christmas in July, then you're going to love this Prime Video subscription add-on discount for Hallmark+. The deal has come at the perfect time, because it means you can stream new movies from its Christmas in July collection like Mistletoe Murders, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story andThe Motherhood for a fraction of the usual price. Just be aware that this offer ends on July 11.
A superb pair of headphones for under $60
Our writer Harry has singled out the 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51 as a great deal today if you're on the hunt for a cheap pair of headphones. At just $56 (was $88), you're getting a great pair of cans here with effective noise cancellation, decent sound, and good battery life. They even look quite premium - even if they lack the big-name recognition of brands like Bose or Sennheiser!
Another shout out for our exclusive NordVPN deal
I've already covered this deal but it's worth mentioning again because, you know, it's an exclusive deal that you won't find anywhere else right now. Over at NordVPN you can get up to four months free and a $50 Amazon gift card with one of the brand's excellent VPN subs, a very handy deal indeed for Amazon Prime Day!
NordVPN: up to $50 Amazon Gift Card + 4 months free on two-year plans
We put hundreds of hours into VPN testing at TechRadar and we rate NordVPN as the best VPN there is. It's excellent at unblocking streaming services, for torrenting, and at keeping your personal data from getting scraped and sold. This TechRadar exclusive deal gets you four full months of service plus a handy Amazon gift card of up to $50 in value when you buy a 2-year plan.
A great time to pick up a Razer gaming chair
Our gaming editor Rob has just posted about today's excellent deals on Razer gaming chairs. Right now you can get up to 38% off premium models at the official Razor site, which includes some models that we've actually tested here at TechRadar. Here's a quick overview of today's best deals:
If you're looking to save as much as you can or spend the least that you can on a Razer gaming chair, then this is the deal to go for today, which saves you a neat 50 bucks off the Enki X seat. This looks to have been cheaper only once before, and that was for Black Friday and the holidays, so you can have confidence going for this deal.
A tidy 10% saving on the Razer Enki is very welcome as an early Prime Day gaming chair deal. It isn't quite a lowest-ever price as far as we can tell, but it's a solid saving nonetheless if you've been eyeing it up.
Offering a huge 38% off, this is the biggest price cut of the three deals we're highlighting here, and it gets you the super Iskur V2 for its lowest-ever price!
Never lose your keys again with the AirTag
Some of the best tech purchases we can ever make are on often-overlooked products like the Apple AirTag. This handy little gadget doesn't steal headlines like the brand's iPhones or Apple Watches, but it's easily one of the most useful purchases you can make if you want to keep tabs on your valuables.
Right now, you can pick up a four pack at Best Buy for $74.99 (was $99), which is one of the cheapest ways to bundle up on these AirTags. For an overview of just how useful these can be, check out our phone editor Phil's post on how these could have saved him $600.
Level up your e-book game - and your writing
If you read one recommendation from one of our staff members today I highly suggest you check out review editor Josh's post on the Kindle Scribe. He goes in-depth about how this product has really helped his creative writing, it's a great article.
The device itself is currently on sale right now with an Prime Day deal for just $259.99 (was $399) at Amazon, which is low-key one of the better early deals you can buy right now. Alongside a 10.2-inch, 300 ppi glare-free screen, the Scribe features really superb handwriting recognition and even a few new AI tools to offer up handy summaries.
The best Samsung phone you can buy, for less
Looking for a high-end phone? You won't find a better option than the Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,099 (was $1,299) at Amazon today. Our phones writer Jamie has already written a post extolling this deal and I'm in agreement - it's a great buy if you're feeling flush.
Obviously, a $1,000 phone is a premium purchase that should be taken lightly but the S25 Ultra is one fantastic device. Alongside an incredible design and camera, you're also getting one of the most powerful chipsets on the market and support for many updates down the line.
This TCL TV was already great value - now it's even better
Our TVs editor Al has picked out the TCL QM7K as one of the best TV deals you'll find today. We already thought this one was great value at $1499 but a deal at Amazon is bringing it all the way down to $999.99.
The 65-inch TCL QM7K TV features excellent brightness and clarity thanks to its Mini-LED display. You can expect great deep blacks and detailed shadows as well as two HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 144Hz support, which makes it a versatile TV for both movies and gaming.
A great deal on Shark's best vacuum
Another expert recommendation from our homes editor Ruth who's picked out the Shark PowerDetect Clean as a particularly good buy today. This excellent vacuum is currently on sale for $429.99 (was $599) at Amazon, which is a record-low price.
While pricey, this one's a great buy if you want a premium cordless vac that's going to last a good few years down the line. We were really impressed by this version with the auto-emptying dock when we reviewed it thanks to its incredible performance on a wide range of surfaces and ease of use.
Our experts recommend this Blu-ray player deal
Our TV and soundbar expert James recommends the excellent Sony UBP-X700 for $218 (was $299) at Amazon today if you're on the hunt for a Blu-ray player. It's one of the first price cuts we've seen on this 2025 model, which supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 HDR video formats, as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio. It's also absolutely fantastic for upscaling both Blu-ray and DVD formats.
A super cheap foldable phone
A recommendation from our phones writer Jamie - the excellent Motorola Razr Plus is currently on sale for just $350 at Best Buy. Yep, that's a total saving of $650 on a premium clamshell foldable.
While it's a little older now (released in 2023) the Razr Plus is still a great buy in our books. You get a nice display, a premium build, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset is still a really, really powerful chipset. For $350, you're getting a superb device here!
Get geared up for your summer vacation
Our cameras editor Tim just wrote a post on the excellent GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini action cam, which is currently on sale for a record-low price of $139 (was $250) at Best Buy.
With an impressive 44% saving, this one is a great choice if you're looking for a decent action cam for your upcoming summer vacations. Not only is this one of the cheaper recent models from the brand, but support for 5.3K video capture and incredible stabilization make it a great buy in its own right.
A few more free perks for Prime Members
While I'm in the process of updating this page, it's worth mentioning that Prime members have a ton of free perks they can check out today without even spending a cent. I've already mentioned extended free trials for Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and Unlimited, but there are actually even more perks to consider today.
First up, Prime gaming is offering six free games right now, which aren't the latest triple A titles, but they're worth picking up anyway. Secondly, if you may not be aware, but a Prime membership also entitles you to a free Grubhub+ account - meaning free deliveries on takeouts and exclusive vouchers. Here are those deals:

If you're a Prime member, you're automatically entitled to a free Grubhub+ membership. That's a saving of $120 per year on memberships, and if Amazon's marketing is to be believed, an average saving of $300 for most people on deliveries and such. Alongside free delivery and access to exclusive promotions, Prime members can also PRIME10 at checkout to get $10 off any order over $20 until July 7th!
Amazon Prime gaming: get six games for $100 free
If you're a Prime member, you're already entitled to a free Prime gaming and Twitch subscription. There is an additional perk in the build-up to this year's Amazon Prime Day, however - six free games. The games in question here are slightly older titles from the Saints Row, Star Wars, and Tomb Raider franchises, but they all add up to a pretty hefty free gift. Check it out if you're a gamer!
Happy 4th of July!
Alex here, picking up coverage for the big day itself. Overall, I don't expect there to be too many surprises today since retailers have mostly already launched their 4th of July sales, but I'll be sweeping through to dig up more recommendations. Stay tuned for more posts and deals.
This early Prime Day deal is in my cart..
I've had my eye on the Amazon Echo Spot since its release, and it's now officially in my shopping cart thanks to this early Prime Day deal. Amazon has the smart alarm clock on sale for $44.99, thanks to a massive 50% discount.
Amazon's Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touch screen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms.
Amazon Echo Spot: was $79.99 now $44.99 at Amazon
The best 4th of July Apple deal
There are several 4th of July Apple deals available, but the best offer is the latest 10.9-inch iPad, now on sale for a record-low price of $299 at Best Buy.
While this particular model is outwardly extremely similar to the previous iteration, it features the powerful A16 chipset, making it an excellent choice for everyday browsing, shopping, and watching content.

Looking for a big-screen budget TV?
If you're looking for a big-screen budget TV, you can't get much better than the Insignia 70-inch 4K Fire TV on sale for a ridiculously cheap price of $329.99.

Lego fans rejoice
If you're a Lego fan like my TechRadar co-worker Jacob Krol, then you'll be happy to know there are several Lego sets on sale for the 4th of July.
Jacob has written an article with his 13 favorite Lego deals, including Star Wars, Botanicals, Marvel, Disney, and Formula 1, with prices starting at just $6.99.

The first Kindle Prime Day deal is live
The first Kindle Prime Day deal has arrived - Amazon is offering the Kindle Scribe at a new record-low price of $259.99.
Kindles are known for their reading capabilities, but with the Kindle Scribe, you get that and a whole lot more. With a wide range of writing features, you can take notes, create sketches, and brainstorm like a pro. We love the 10.2-inch glare-free screen and the extensive 12-week battery life.
Amazon Kindle Scribe: was $399.99 now $259.99 at Amazon
A record-low price for Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet
This might be my personal early Prime Day deal - Amazon's best-selling Fire HD 10 on sale for a new record-low price of only $69.99 (was $139.99), thanks to today's 50% discount.
The tablet features a large, bright 10-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM, and an octa-core processor for enhanced performance. The tablet also works with Amazon Alexa and provides an impressive 12 hours of battery life.

Today's best TV deal, no really
Hello there!
I'm the US deals editor for TechRadar, and I'm taking over from Alex. I'm excited to highlight my favorite 4th of July (or Prime Day, really) deal on LG's all-new C5 OLED TV.
Amazon has the highly rated 65-inch display on sale for $1,696.99 (was $2,696.99), thanks to a whopping $ 1,000 discount. That's a new record-low price and an incredible deal for a newly released OLED display. It's such an incredible bargain, I can't imagine you'll find a better price at next week's Amazon Prime Day sale.

Next up... TVs, devices, headphones, and more
I'm going to be handing over the blog to Mackenzie shortly. Mack's an expert in TV deals so she's going to expertly guide you through the various price cuts that are available at Amazon, Samsung, Best Buy, and other leading retailers. I won't post any spoilers, but rest assured there are some excellent deals today on models that we've personally tested (and loved) here at TechRadar.
One of the best purchases you'll make this summer
It's not the cheapest wireless speaker on the market but the JBL Xtreme 4 is well worth checking out at $249 (was $329) at Amazon. This speaker is a staff favorite here at TechRadar, so much so that one of our writers Harry wrote a post about this particular deal. In short, it's a powerful wireless speaker that's perfect for outdoor Summer occasions and one that comes with a strong personal recommendation this week.
Newegg's 4th of July sale has just been added
... To our list of today's best. The specialist retailer is currently offering some superb deals on everything from RAM kits to high-end gaming PCs. It's well worth checking out if you were thinking about making an upgrade to your rig.
It's a little niche, but a particular highlight for us is the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD on sale for $149 (was $199) at the retailer. It's one of our favorite storage drives here at TechRadar and we've already written seperately about today's price cut.
Amazon's a great option for LEGO deals today
I haven't included it in our tech-based recommendations above but it's worth noting that Amazon is a great option for LEGO deals today. One of our staff members Jacob even did a post rounding up the best options so definitely check that page out if you're looking to save some cash on LEGO this week. Here's a few of the highlights he picked out:
Lego has produced many Millennium Falcon sets, but this smaller one, which debuted for the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, is an excellent model and even better with a 20% discount. It's currently available at the lowest price ever, at $67.89, and makes a superb display piece.
What's better than one Lego set? Well, a Lego set that lets you build nine seperate things. This Tiny Plants set, part of the Lego Botanicals line, lets you create nine plants, all housed in terracotta pots that you'll also construct out of Lego. Right now, it's 20% off on Amazon for just $39.99.
R2-D2 is the most iconic droid around, and right now, you can build your own version of the epic piece of Star Wars out of 1,050 bricks for just $79.95. That's a 20% discount from the $99.99 MSRP, and Prime members get free fast shipping. This set is themed to the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars and comes with a mini R2-D2, a display plate, and a Darth Malak minifigure.
This excellent Lego Creator 3-in-1 set is a delight. With 261 pieces, you can build a retro camera, a video camera, or a TV set. Best of all, the set is just $15.99.
The Lego Up house building set has been purchased over 5,000 times in the past month, and right now this delightful set is 36% off at $38.29. That's an excellent deal on a 598-piece set that's perfect for a fan of the film.
Paramount+ is back down to a record-low price
It's a great time to consider picking up a Paramount+ subscription this week as the streaming service is currently down to a record-low price. Right now, you can pay just $0.99 per month for two months of service. That's a total saving of $22 for unlimited ad-free access to the 4K streaming platform. Read more about this excellent deal with our recently published standalone spotlight.
I'm tempted to pick up the Nikon Zf myself this week
The Nikon Zf has been $100 cheaper before but I think $1,897 at Adorama is a fair price indeed for such a camera. Considering price hikes are absolutely hammering the camera industry right now, I'd say this is one of the better-priced hybrid flagships on the market right now. With gorgeous retro looks, fantastic autofocus, and a superb 24MP full-frame sensor, the Nikon Zf has been a model that's been on my shopping list for a while now...
Don't wait until Prime Day to buy major appliances
As if you needed a reminder - the 4th of July sales are absolutely fantastic today for major appliances. Much like Memorial Day, Labor Day, and all the other big seasonal sales, you'll find plenty of options for everything from refrigerators to air fryers at the major retailers. Here's a brief overview of what's available:
- Best Buy: 50% off major appliances, plus coupons
- Home Depot: 40% off appliances, grills, and summer essentials
- Lowes: discounts on grills, tools, appliances, and more
- Samsung: up to $1,850 off major appliances, phones, and TVs
It's probably worth picking up any major white goods today rather than waiting it out for Amazon Prime Day next week since a few of these sales are due to end Sunday. Also, Amazon doesn't really do big ticket appliances so you'll likely be waiting all the way until Labor Day in September for a similar sales event.
An insanely OP gaming laptop for a great price
I've been highlighting HP's gaming laptop deals all week and they've been quickly selling out. You can, however, still get a really good deal on this RTX 5090-equipped configuration.
Use the code LEVELUP20 at checkout to bring this machine down from $3,599 to just $2,399.99 at the official HP Store today. That's a total saving of $1,200 on a gaming laptop with an RTX 5090 graphics card, Ultra 9 275HX chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
Dell's best budget laptop deal today
On a budget but want something decent? I'd recommend this Dell Inspiron 14 on sale for $599 (was $849) in the Dell Black Friday in July sale. For just under $600 you're getting a decent Ultra 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage in a relatively lightweight and portable 14-inch form factor. As a cheap Windows 11 laptop for work or school, this is a great low-fuss option that should last you a few good years down the line.
The best premium laptop deal at Dell
I've got my eye on this Dell XPS 13 for $1,099.99 (was $1,499) in the brand's Black Friday in July sale. I think that's a fair price for this particular configuration, which features a Snapdragon X Elite chipset, a generous 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. We've seen cheaper listings like this before but the recent tariffs have really bitten into the discounts over the past few months. Subsequently, I think this one is a good choice if you want a premium laptop with plenty of power under the hood.
A decent deal on an Alienware gaming laptop
I've been scanning through the Dell Black Friday in July sale, and my first recommended pick has to be this Alienware Aurora 16 gaming laptop for $1,149.99 (was $1,399). It's not the cheapest laptop on the market but you're getting an Intel Core Ultra-7 240H chipset, RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD - excellent specs for next-gen 1080p gaming.
Dell's Black Friday in July sale is a highlight
Looking for a new laptop? I highly recommend checking out Dell's Black Friday in July sale this week. It's one of the bigger events at the specialist retailer, and you can catch discounts of up to $500 across a wide range of budget, gaming, and premium Windows laptops today. Stay tuned for some specific recommendations shortly...
Cheap unlimited data at Mint Mobile
The prepaid carrier Mint Mobile has some superb options right now for new customers. First up, it has a deal that lets you pick up its three-month unlimited data plan for just $45 upfront, which is a superb introductory price that lets you try out the service without having to commit to a full year.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a new phone, you can instead get a massive $440 discount plus a full year of service on the house when you buy one of the latest Google or Samsung phones with an annual unlimited plan. With this deal, it's possible to get either the Samsung Galaxy S25 or Google Pixel 9 for just $30 per month alongside an unlimited plan for two full years. Not bad!
Get thousands of e-books at your fingertips
Here's yet another Amazon freebie for Prime members today. Head on over to Kindle Unlimited to get an extended three month free trial.
Kindle Unlimited is a fantastic service for avid readers or anyone who likes to explore a wide range of genres without committing to a single title. With a subscription, you gain unlimited access to a vast library of fiction and non-fiction, including everything from best-selling thrillers and biographies to self-help guides and foreign language novels. The selection is impressively broad, making it easy to discover new favorites or dive into something different at any time. There’s also a selection of audiobooks available, though it’s not quite as extensive as what you’d find on Audible - still, it's a valuable bonus for on-the-go listening.
We have an exclusive deal with NordVPN
Here's an exclusive deal you won't find anywhere else today. TechRadar has teamed up with NordVPN to offer a superb deal that doesn't just bag you a cheap VPN, but also a handy gift card just in time for Amazon Prime Day.
For a limited time, you can get up to $50 in Amazon Gift Cards and four extra months of service for free when you sign up for selected 2-year NordVPN plans. For more details on Nord, check out our best VPNs buyer's guide, where the service is currently ranked #1.
Free games at Amazon
If you're an Amazon Prime member, you're already entitled to a number of gaming perks, including free access to Prime Gaming and a complimentary Twitch channel subscription each month. However, in the build-up to this year's Amazon Prime Day event, there's an extra bonus worth checking out - six free PC games are being offered as part of the promotion. While the titles aren't brand new, they include well-known entries from popular franchises like Saints Row, Star Wars, and Tomb Raider, making them a valuable freebie for any gamer. It's a great time to boost your game library at no extra cost.
Try out Amazon Music Unlimited for free
Another great free perk at Amazon today for Prime members. Like Audible, you can get an extended four month free trial of Music Unlimited today, which is the brand's premium music service. It's a total saving of just over $40 again, and you'll get completely unlimited ad-free streaming, options for offline downloads, and support for high-quality HD formats.
A perk that won't cost you a single penny
Amazon usually builds hype for its annual Prime Day event by extending perks to Prime members in the run-up. 2025 is no different, and if I'm honest, these are some of the best deals available on the market right now in terms of value. I recently rounded up all the perks in an article and calculated that they come out at just over $500 in value.
The first perk I'd like to highlight is Audible, which is currently available with an extended three month trial at Amazon. Despite being a trial, this is a full Premium Plus membership so you get a few free book tokens, a decent amount of time to check out the service, and a total saving of just over $40. If you're an audiobook lover, check it out!
