The 5 Best Weekend Tech Deals: End January With Some Extra Savings

The first month of 2025 is just about over, and it’s been a pretty eventful one for tech. Not only did we see the new generation of Nvidia graphics cards hit the market and immediately sell out, but we also got a Chinese AI competitor that turned the market on its ear, big changes in social networks, and more. But through it all, we remained steadfast in our mission to bring you the best prices on the hardware you want. Here are five of the absolute best offers for the weekend, including discounts as high as 49% on headphones, iPads, Editors’ Choice-winning security cameras, and more.

TCL makes reliably high-quality TV sets at some of the best prices on the market, and even though the Q5 is one of their budget models, it swings for the fences. Getting it at a 45% discount puts it into contention for any model on our list of the best cheap TVs. With a direct-lit QLED screen, colors are bright and realistic, and it supports all the most advanced HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10 and 10+. The nearly bezel-free design fits with any decor, and it’s a good pick for console gamers thanks to a native 60Hz refresh rate and Motion Rate 240 upscaling. For $250, you’re not going to find a better 4K TV anywhere.

No matter what you think about the Kardashians, we have to give them credit when they can get us 49% off a pair of solid over-ear headphones. Our major complaint in our review of the Beats Studio Pro was the high price — we raved about the comfortable fit, deep bass, bright highs and wired high-resolution USB-C listening mode. One-touch pairing on both iOS and Android devices make them a breeze to use with all of your tech, and head-tracking spatial audio is immersive and fun. They’re also wickedly comfortable, with a rubberized underside on the headband and plush ear-cups with simple touch controls.

While there is a newer model of the iPad Pro on the market, Apple’s creative powerhouse from 2022 is still an incredible slate. In our review, we said that the iPad Pro was “a phenomenal piece of hardware with blazing-fast speeds, one of the finest tablet displays we’ve seen, and serious multimedia creation tools,” and that still stands. Whether you’re editing video, 3D modeling, making music or just gaming, the Pro can handle it all. The 12MP front and back cameras, paired with a 10MP ultrawide back camera, are crisp and clear, and the screen is gorgeous. Taking 42% off retail makes it even more attractive.

If you’re laptop shopping, prices are often out of control. That’s why this 33% discount on the capable and portable Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is a welcome treat. We reviewed a slightly different configuration of this two-in-one laptop, saying that it delivered crisp screen resolution, a surprising number of ports and the keyboard and build quality we’ve come to expect from Lenovo. Battery life is up to 8.5 hours between charges, so it’ll last you through long commutes and longer meetings. With the 360-degree convertible design, you can use it as a tablet, a tent display or a traditional laptop.

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the Ring Stick Up Cam in our review, lauding its sharp 1080p video, easy integration with different smart home protocols, and ultra-simple installation. And at 40% off, it’s an even bigger deal. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, it runs off of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated to last between six to twelve months per charge, depending on how much usage it gets. The motion-activated camera captures video at 1080p and has a 115-degree field of view, and you can save video to the cloud with an optional Ring subscription.
