5 Best March Madness Weekend Tech Deals: Save Up To 62% On TVs, Laptops And More

Another weekend of March Madness means another roundup of the five best deals we’ve hunted up this week. It’s been a busy one, with Amazon’s Big Spring Sale almost upon us, and retailers are taking advantage of some of the biggest price drops we’ve seen in 2025. Until Monday, you can get massive savings like 32% off an Editors’ Choice-winning Amazon tablet and 49% off a pair of Beats noise-cancelling headphones. Read on for more amazing deals.

If your only experience with Chromebooks is the clunky sub-$100 models that they give out to schoolkids, you’re in for a real surprise when you see what the latest portables can do. We reviewed the Acer Chromebook Plus 514, which Amazon has a 25% price cut on, and raved about its exceptional battery life (a Chromebook hallmark), responsive touchscreen and panoply of ports for storage and peripherals. This is a great pick for anybody who does a lot of work in cloud-based apps, including students.

Take a trip to the soothing purple-hued streets of Roku City with a 41% discount on the Roku Pro smart TV. In our review of this solid midrange model, we gave it an “Excellent” rating and noted the many ways it improved over the company’s entry-level Roku Plus screens, including a mini-LED backlight system that delivers high contrast and vibrant colors. The Roku TV platform is extremely simple to use, with intuitive controls and easy access to both Roku’s live TV options and all the major streaming services.

Shutting out the rest of the world is more attractive than ever these days, and right now Amazon has a massive 49% price cut on the noise-cancelling Beats Studio Pro headphones to help you do just that. We gave a positive review to this model, saying that they fit comfortably, deliver a bass-forward sound profile that also gives you clean, bright high frequency response, and support spatial audio with head tracking. You can even plug in a sound source through USB-C for high-resolution audio. At this price, they’re absolutely irresistible.

One of the best Star Wars games ever is on sale for a ridiculously low price right now at Best Buy. In our review of Jedi Survivor, we raved about the exceptional level design, which lets you employ tons of cool combat and traversal techniques to make you really feel like you’re navigating alien worlds. As Cal Kestis, you work to tear down the Empire while trying to locate the lost planet Tanalorr, hidden behind an impassable nebula. It’s a gripping and challenging adventure that’s a bargain at twenty bucks.

Amazon’s Fire tablets are designed for budget shoppers, but they’ve steadily upped their capabilities while still keeping the price low. Getting a Fire HD 10, which we gave an Editors’ Choice award to in our review, for a hundred bucks is a steal. While it won’t compete with an iPad in terms of creativity, if you need a slate for gaming on the go, e-book reading, media streaming or Web browsing this one will get it done. Battery life is solid, testing as long as 10 hours at full brightness between charges, and it works with both Bluetooth and wired headphones.
