Apple iPad Air is back down to its Black Friday price
The back of the iPad Air 5.

For those who are on the hunt for iPad deals, you probably should take advantage of Best Buy's $150 discount for the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. From its original price of $600, it's back down to $450, which is what the tablet was going for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed the chance to buy the device back then, you shouldn't let this opportunity slip through your fingers -- proceed with completing the transaction now while it's not yet too late.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air 5th Gen
The 2022 Apple iPad Air reigns over both of our lists for the best iPads and best tablets, primarily because of the power it packs for a reasonable price. You'll be able to watch streaming shows, play video games, browse the internet, and multitask between all of these apps without any issues. This is possible through Apple's M1 processor, which comes with an eight-core CPU for efficient performance, an eight-core GPU for amazing graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine and 8GB of RAM for fast processing and rendering. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air may be overkill for some people, but that only means you won't feel the need to make an upgrade for years to come.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 line of smartphones have been unveiled, and you can preorder them until January 30. They look fantastic so far, but they certainly aren't cheap. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is Samsung's most expensive non-folding smartphone. Thankfully there are a lot of phone deals out there that will save you a lot of cash on your upgrade. All the major carriers have trade-in deals. But what if you want an unlocked phone? Best Buy has your back. Right now Best Buy is offering up to $870 trade-in when you buy the S24 series. They'll also double your storage and give you a Best Buy gift card of up to $150.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 at Best Buy
The S24s are the newest release in Samsung's Galaxy line, but there are more reasons to upgrade than just having the newest model. The S24 and S24 Plus are slightly bigger than their S23 counterparts; both are a bit taller. The Ultra has stayed the same size. There are some standard upgrades, like a higher maximum brightness and a slightly different user interface.

There was no chance to buy the Google Pixel Watch 2 with a discount from last Black Friday's smartwatch deals, but you won't have to wait any longer because it's down to a cheaper price of $300 from Best Buy. The $50 discount on its original price of $350 further adds to the value of the wearable device, but you're going to have to hurry with completing the purchase as stocks may already be running low. The offer may expire at any moment, so you need to push through with the transaction immediately.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Watch 2
The Google Pixel Watch 2, launched a year after the Google Pixel Watch, is an Android-powered smartwatch with a circular display measuring 1.2 inches in diameter and peak brightness of 1,000 nits. It ships with Google's Wear OS 4, comes with Google Assistant onboard, and lasts more than 24 hours on a single charge.
