Best Buy has launched its 60th anniversary sale, featuring discounts on a wide range of electronics including Apple devices, LG televisions, and Dyson appliances. The event runs through Sunday, Aug. 23, both online and in stores, with the retailer signaling that additional deals will be added throughout the weekend. CNET’s shopping experts are liveblogging the best deals from the thousands of offers in the week-long event to help customers save on tech without waiting for fall sales.
Apple Product Discounts and Promotions
The anniversary event includes price reductions on several major Apple products. The second-generation Apple AirPods Max, which offer cleaner audio, improved spatial audio, and 1.5 times more effective noise canceling, are currently priced at $429 for all colors, down from their standard $549. The AirPods Pro 3 are available for $189.99, a $60 discount from their usual price.
For those in the market for mobile hardware, unlocked models of the iPhone Air are being offered with up to $160 off, meaning customers can bring the device to any provider without having to navigate a trade-in. Mashable’s reviewer called the iPhone Air the “sexiest iPhone” he’s ever tested, noting it is incredibly thin and light with a gorgeous OLED display and a camera that performs better than expected.
Best Buy is also bundling promotional offers with its laptop sales. While the MacBook Neo—described as the best laptop for students—is not discounted itself, the retailer is providing a free $25 Starbucks gift card with any MacBook Neo purchase starting at $699. Additional price cuts are available on other MacBook models, including:
- Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD): $1,849, saving $150 from $1,999.
Television and Home Appliance Deals
The sale includes significant markdowns on televisions across various brands and sizes. The 65-inch Hisense U6 Pro, which was named a favorite budget TV of 2026, is available for a record-low $598.99, a price lower than it was on Prime Day. While not an OLED display, it features vibrant quantum-dot color, an impressive full-array local dimming setup, deep black levels, and an anti-glare coating for minimal reflections.
Other television options include a 58-inch Hisense QD50 Hi-QLED 4K Roku TV. This model features a built-in Roku interface, 4K upscaling, and supports Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and HLG for picture quality; it is priced at $190, a $210 savings from its regular $400 price.
Home appliance and wearable deals include:
- Ecovacs Deebot T80 Omni: Reduced to $399 from a standard $1,000 price point. This robot vacuum features 18,000Pa suction, a self-washing roller mop, and an all-in-one dock that refills water and automatically washes, dries the mop, and empties debris.
- Dyson Cool CF1: The oscillating bladeless desk fan, described as quiet, fast, and easy to clean, is priced at $250, a $130 savings from its $380 regular price.
Laptop Offers and Buying Guidance
Beyond Apple hardware, the sale covers a variety of Windows-based laptops.
The current slate of discounts is extensive—including RGB and OLED TVs and Windows laptops—and shoppers may want to monitor the site through the weekend. According to Best Buy, additional deals are expected to drop this weekend. Most of these deals do not require a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership to access.
