5 Incredible Weekend Tech Deals With Savings of Up to 50% Off

We made it through another one, friends. It’s fair to say this has been one of the more eventful Februarys in recent memory (whew, even being the shortest month). But no matter the day, month, or year, our mission remains the same: bringing you the best prices on tested technology. Every Friday, I comb through all the major retailers to pull out five can’t-miss discounts that you need to see. This week, we’ve got price cuts as big as 50% on laptops, headphones, and more. So let’s get dealing!

We haven’t had a chance to put the ThinkPad E16 G2 through its paces yet, but it appears to be an improvement in many areas over the E16 G1, which we raved about in our review. This line takes the exceptional build quality and component value we’ve come to expect from one of Lenovo’s flagship lines, along with a big screen, and crams it into the budget price point with very little compromises. This is a very capable business portable that looks good, can take a beating and multitasks like a maniac thanks to an absurd 64GB of RAM onboard. Just from a sheer silicon price you’re getting an awesome deal, especially at 30% off.

If cash is tight and you need to up your gaming performance, here’s a nice $10 price cut on a wired gaming mouse we called “a really well-made piece of kit” in our review, praising the Rival 3’s proprietary TrueMove Core optical sensor that tracks at up to 8,500dpi and is accurate at up to 300 inches per second, significantly more responsive than any other unit in this price range. A trio of customizable lighting elements keep it looking slick, and the wired connection means there are no batteries to charge. It’s also quite lightweight, reducing stress and strain on your hand and wrist.

We consistently rate Hisense TVs highly in our reviews, as they hit the sweet spot in between price and performance. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to trade up to a bigger screen, getting to slash 41% off the list price of a 85-inch QLED set is your chance. We reviewed a slightly smaller version of this model, giving it an “Excellent” rating and raving about its bright, vivid colors, sleek design and 144Hz refresh rate, making it a good pick for next-generation console gamers. Full array local dimming provides solid contrast for moody movies, and sports look great on the big display. The onboard Google TV platform is a breeze to use.

Security is looking more and more important in these uncertain times, and if you have an indoor area you want to put under 24/7 surveillance, the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro is the way to do it. We gave it an Editors’ Choice award in our review, with product expert John Delaney saying that the compact unit was “a supremely versatile 1080p indoor or outdoor security camera,” thanks to its HDR-enhanced video, 3D motion detection, color night vision and cool bird’s-eye-view feature that generates an aerial map to track moving objects. Right now Best Buy has them on sale for 50% off.

Shoppers are spoiled for choice when it comes to in-ear headphones, with all of the top audio brands competing with Apple’s AirPods. The Beats Studio Buds are a solid contender, especially if you prefer music that pushes the bass. Considering that Beats is a sub-brand of Apple, that shouldn’t surprise you much. The sound profile of these earbuds are tuned to optimize the low end, and in our review we had good things to say about the simple one-touch pairing with both Android and iOS devices, versatile on-ear controls and surprisingly competent active noise cancellation. When you factor in a 33% discount, they sound even better.
