If there's one thing that Best Buy does well -- and often -- it's having large sales, and this weekend's Best Buy three-day sale is characteristically epic. There's an enormous variety of discounted products, including TVs, laptops, mobile gadgets, appliances, smart home gear and games. But today -- Sunday, May 9 -- is the last day.
In fact, by my count, there are hundreds of items marked down -- way too many for you to slog through on your own. So before you head over to save some cash on the sale, browse the list below. I've curated a handful of what look to be the best deals.
Now that the M1-powered version of the MacBook Pro is around, you can save a few dollars on the still-solidly competent Intel Core i5-equipped MacBook Pro. This one has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Read CNET's hands-on evaluation of this MacBook Pro.
You don't have to mortgage your home to get a gaming laptop anymore. Case in point: The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has an AMD Ryzen 9 processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU for $1,150, down from its regular price of $1,350.
Best Buy has a slew of games marked down for the weekend, but you shouldn't pass up Star Wars: Squadrons, the space shooter that has made space shooters fun again. This games is great on the console, PC, and (especially) in VR.
