The 5 Best Weekend Deals On Top-Rated Tech: Earbuds, Laptops, TVs, Tax Software

Hopefully, you made it through April Fool’s Day without being pranked too badly, but if you need a safe space to recover from all the foolishness, deals are the place to do it. So here’s our rundown of the most attractive tech bargains for the week. Although Amazon’s big sale wrapped up on Monday, prices are still low on some really cool items, and there are discounts of as much as 54% on Editors’ Choice-winning TVs, video doorbells, and more.

Tax day is sneaking up on us, and you’ve only got two more weekends to get your return finished and filed. If doing it all by hand is too daunting, now’s the time to pick up the latest version of TurboTax at a nice 30% discount. We reviewed this package and gave it an Editors’ Choice award, praising the top of the line user experience with just the right amount of depth, making it a good pick for both simple 9-to-5 workers and people with more complex tax needs. The help resources and virtual support are also well worth the purchase, giving you speedy responses to even the most obscure questions.

The “pivot to AI” is the undeniable story of tech in 2025, with hardware companies releasing computers that can tackle the kind of calculations artificial intelligence requires locally. Qualcomm’s ARM silicon was the first to market that supports the new Copilot features in Windows 11, and Microsoft’s lovely and flexible Surface Pro is one of the best ways to get into it. In our review, we said that this tablet/laptop hybrid hybrid had an impressive QHD OLED display, improved battery life and an improved Flex Pro wireless keyboard. Because Windows on ARM is relatively new tech, there were some compatibility issues, but for everyday use you probably won’t run into anything too major, and at a 40% discount it’s hard to say no to this one.

LG’s G4 series of OLED 4K TVs is a favorite around the PCMag office, with the 65″ version getting an Editors’ Choice award in our review. Expert Will Greenwald said this set has “the best OLED picture quality we’ve seen to date,” with a super-bright panel that delivers incredibly vibrant and accurate colors, coupled with fast refresh rate and short response time for sports, gaming and more. With a nearly bezel-free design, it’s ideal for wall mounting but works standing just as well, and the included LG Magic Remote is a robust controller that includes “air mouse” IR functionality so you can move an on-screen pointer. Right now it’s 31% off at Amazon.

In our review, we called the Arlo video doorbell one of the most affordable options on the market for front door security, and with a massive 54% discount right now at Best Buy, it’s absurdly inexpensive. Even at such a low price, this unit is packed with features and performance, including a wide 180 degree viewing angle, sharp 2K video, smart object detection and more. The wireless unit is simple to install, and the battery lasts for up to four months in between charges. For cloud video storage and some advanced features you’ll need an Arlo Secure subscription, but with the amount you’re saving here it’s no big deal.

We were impressed by the myriad improvements made with the Beats Studio Buds+, and in our review we gave them an “Excellent” rating and praised their awesome sound profile with rich, deep bass response and clear, bright highs. They also have active noise cancellation, using on-board microphones to negate external sound. If you’re an Apple aficionado, our audio expert Tim Gideon said that the Studio Buds+ “integrate just as flawlessly with iOS devices as Apple’s first-party products,” and recommended them over Apple’s own AirPods, especially at a sale price of under a hundred dollars.

Need even more savings that are no laughing matter? Our deals page has the punchline.
