The 5 Best Super Bowl Weekend Tech Deals Worth an End Zone Celebration

No matter who you’re rooting for this Super Bowl Sunday, the Chiefs or the Birds, we can all come together as a nation and agree on one thing: saving money is always good. That’s why we’ve pulled out a starting lineup of five incredible tech deals that you can pick up through the weekend. If your parlay bets pay off, or even if they don’t, you can snag discounts as high as 50% on laptops, security cameras, AirPods and more.

We’re living in unsettling times, so I don’t think anybody would hold it against you for investing in a little more home security. We gave a glowing review to the Blink Outdoor 4 security camera, saying that the compact unit delivered sharp, reliable 1080p video and was effortless to install. Blink cameras offer both local and cloud video storage options, and with a subscription you get access to additional features like person detection and video sharing. They typically retail at $99.99 for a single camera, but right now Amazon has a bundle deal where you can get five for the price of two.

If you’re on the hunt for an affordable laptop that will let you stay productive on the go, the IdeaPad 1 is an irresistible deal at this price. This obviously isn’t a super-powered gaming machine that will dazzle you with speed and performance, but it’s got the customary Lenovo build quality, a comfortable and responsive keyboard and touchpad, and will get the job done. The 15.6″ FHD display is reasonably bright and clear, and the internal loadout is decent for the price, revolving around a capable Ryzen 3 CPU. We reviewed a similar unit if you want more info.

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the AirPods Pro 2 in our review, saying they were “the top true wireless earphones for Apple users thanks to their exceptional noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and advanced audio features.” These earbuds do everything right, from their cozy fit to their effortless pairing with iOS devices. The full-sealing design blocks out more external sound, and four pairs of silicone ear-tips give you exceptional comfort customization. Even the case is great, supporting both wireless and USB-C charging and Find My functionality. This is the lowest price we’ve seen them at in quite some time.

Sure, you won’t be able to get this excellent TV delivered before Super Bowl Sunday, but if you end up putting a shoe through your existing screen when your team of choice loses, it’s a no-brainer to get a backup set, especially at a whopping 40% off retail. This is another Editors’ Choice winner, and in our review we lauded the Hisense U8 for its fantastic brightness, robust color quality and deep contrast. A 144Hz refresh rate makes it great for watching sports and other fast-moving content without blurring, and the Google TV smart platform is easy to use.

Another Editors’ Choice winner at another deep discount? It’s more likely than you think! Our review of the Amazon Fire HD 10 gushed over the low-priced tablet’s surprising level of panache. While nothing about this slate is going to wow iPad users, for mobile entertainment purposes it’s a winner thanks to its large, clear 1080p screen, easy access to Amazon’s massive content library, and long-lasting battery. Only 64GB of storage isn’t a lot, but the tablet has a MicroSD card for additional expansion.
