The 5 Best Weekend Tech Deals Featuring Cyber Monday-Level Savings

It’s been a real frenzy of activity here in the deals department, as Black Friday transformed into Cyber Monday, then on through Cyber Week. We all spent epic workdays surfacing hundreds of bargains in every category. But if you think that means we get to rest, think again. Holiday shopping season is still going, and we need to earn our keep by saving you serious cash on must-have tech. Case in point: the five best deals still live for the weekend, including top-rated TVs, smartwatches, tablets, and more.

Let’s lead off with a spectacular deal on a spectacular TV set. We gave the Hisense U8 an Editors’ Choice award in our review, with writer Will Greenwald (a man who has tested literally hundreds of screens) saying that it was “the best LED TV for the price” thanks to incredible image quality, deep blacks, bright colors and lots of cool features like a 4.1.2-channel spatial audio speaker system and rare side-mounted ports so you don’t have to go all the way around the back to plug in a device. The built-in Google TV interface is one of our favorites, with easy access to streaming services and content cast from PCs, tablets, and other devices. A 33% price drop is unreal.

Lenovo’s Android tablets are uniformly great values, with the high production quality the company is known for, nice displays, and great components. We gave an “Excellent” rating to the Yoga Tab Plus in our review, praising its big, bright, 12.7-inch 3K screen, excellent speakers and included keyboard and stylus. Under the hood, the ARM-based processor is speedy and efficient, and 16GB of RAM is generous. The included Tab Pen Pro stylus recognizes 8,192 levels of pressure and provides haptic feedback, and the keyboard is comfortable and easy to use. You’re basically getting a convertible laptop for a tablet price with this deal, at 44% off.

The holiday season sees a drastic increase in foot traffic to your doorstep, so if you want to keep an eye out for package deliveries and unexpected visitors, a video doorbell is a smart investment. Right now, Amazon has a juicy 42% discount on a bundle of the excellent Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 with Chime Module, which gives you not only a dependable head-to-toe camera with 1536p resolution, 3D motion detection, and smart motion alerts, but also a physical speaker that also acts as a Wi-Fi extender and a nightlight. Read our full review of the Ring Video Doorbell to learn more, but this is a spectacular deal.

Apple released the third generation of the Apple Watch this year, which means older models are starting to plummet in price. The best deal we’ve seen in a long time on the second-generation Apple Watch SE comes from Walmart, where you can snag 32% off. This is still an exceptional budget smartwatch, one we reviewed very positively, saying that it offered excellent real-world battery life, a panoply of useful health and safety features, and a light, comfortable fit. It does lack some of the more advanced sensors of the new version, as well as an always-on screen, but for an intro into the Apple wearable world, you can’t do much better than this offer.

If you need to tune out the omnipresent Christmas music that floods the zone this month, this deep discount on the JBL Tune 770NC headphones will bring you auditory peace. In our review, we praised their comfortable fit, bass-forward sound and robust in-app ten-band EQ. Battery life is also extremely impressive, running for up to 70 hours on a single charge. While their active noise cancellation doesn’t match up to higher-end headphones, it’s more than good enough for most people. Amazon has them on sale for 47% off right now.
