Best Tech Deals During Spring Sales: Laptops, Tablets, Phones, and More

Best Tech Deals During Spring Sales

Spring sales are in full swing, offering a prime opportunity to snag deals on various tech products. From laptops to TVs, major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are slashing prices. I’ve compiled a list of some of the best tech deals available right now to help you navigate the sales.

Prices fluctuate, and inventory sells out fast, so don’t hesitate if you find a deal that grabs your attention.

Best Laptop Deals

Sales events like Amazon’s Big Spring Sale are a great time to buy laptops. Here are some of my top picks for laptop deals:

• Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch with M4 Chip: $949 at Amazon (was $999). Released recently, this model is already on sale. At the time of writing, the discount applies to the 13-inch model with 16GB of RAM; however, this is still sufficient for most users.
• Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Chip: $1,399 at Amazon (was $1,599). For a more powerful option, the MacBook Pro is a solid choice. Sales are present across all chip options and various RAM and storage configurations at the time of writing, but you’ll need to stick to a 14-inch screen.
• Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360: $1,475 at Amazon (was $1,699). This is a Windows-based alternative to the MacBook Air. It has a high-resolution OLED screen with a high refresh rate and converts into a tablet.
• Microsoft Surface Laptop: $980 at Amazon (was $1,400). A more affordable alternative to the MacBook Air, the Microsoft Surface Laptop offers a familiar form factor and better battery life with a Qualcomm chip.
• Lenovo IdeaPad 1i: $420 at Best Buy (was $600). This is a practical, get-the-job-done kind of laptop. It features a mid-range chip, surprisingly generous storage for the price, and a touchscreen.
• HP Victus 16 Gaming Laptop: $900 at Best Buy (was $1,500). The HP Victus 16 offers a respectable chip, 16GB of RAM, enough storage, and the RTX 4070 GPU for under $1,000.

Best Tablet Deals

Finding deals on tablets during sales events can be tricky because iPads dominate the market. However, there are still some good opportunities to be found.

• Apple 11-Inch iPad Pro with M4 Chip: $899 at Amazon (was $999). This is Apple’s first iPad with an OLED screen, with deals available for all storage configurations.
• Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+: $700 at Amazon (was $1,000). This premium Android tablet has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, 12GB of memory, 256GB of storage, a 12-inch AMOLED screen, and comes with a stylus.
• Microsoft Surface Pro 13-Inch: $999 at Best Buy (was $1,200). This pick blends the lines between a tablet and a laptop, equipped with Windows 11. This model also has Copilot+ features, 512GB of storage, and 16GB of RAM.

Best Phone Deals

Phone deals are also somewhat limited, partly due to Apple’s hold on the market. However, Android users have some good options.

• Google Pixel 9 (Unlocked): $640 at Amazon (was $799). This phone features the Tensor G4 chip, Gemini-powered features, and a 6.3-inch OLED “Actua” display.
• Google Pixel 9 Pro (Unlocked): $849 at Amazon (was $1,099). The Pro has improved cameras, more storage options, and a higher-resolution display.
• Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (Unlocked): $899 at Amazon (was $1,099). The XL offers identical power to the standard Pixel 9 Pro but has a larger 6.8-inch display.
• Samsung Galaxy S25 (Unlocked): $700 at Amazon (was $800). Samsung’s Galaxy phones are a well-known alternative to the Google Pixels, with more traditional camera setups and more powerful chips. You lose out on Google’s exclusive Pixel software features, but there’s also some convenience to be gained with Samsung’s ecosystem.
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Unlocked): $1,195 at Amazon (was $1,420). This phone has more storage options, a larger screen, better cameras, and a bigger battery.
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Unlocked): $1,068 at Amazon (was $1,220). Flip phones are still expensive, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is becoming more affordable with the sale. This phone has many of the same specs as the S25, albeit with the camera’s performance being traded out a bit in favor of the foldable screen.
• Motorola Razr+ (Unlocked): $700 at Amazon (was $1,000). This nostalgic flip phone is a slightly cheaper alternative to the Z Flip series, with a slightly weaker chipset but a slightly larger size.

Best TV Deals

Like laptops, TVs often go on sale. Waiting for these discounts is a great way to get a display that punches above its weight class.

• LG 77-inch B3 OLED TV: $1,497 at Amazon (was $2,297). LG makes some of the best OLED TVs around, and this big-screen model boasts 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There are four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
• Amazon 55-inch Fire TV Omni Series: $770 at Amazon (was $900). Amazon’s Fire TVs are a great way to get a lot of screen on a budget. This 4K Mini-LED smart display has a 144Hz refresh rate, supports hands-free Alexa control, can have up to an 85-inch screen, and has various HDR options.
• Roku 55-inch Plus Series QLED 4K Smart TV: $430 at Best Buy (was $500). Available in up to 75 inches, this TV is 4K, supports Dolby Vision at a lower price point than Amazon’s option, has a 60Hz refresh rate, and comes with Roku’s snappy operating system built in.
