Best Buy has joined the battle against Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, the fall version of Prime Day, and Best Buy's main Techtober sale is in full swing. Below, I've rounded up all the key details, as well as highlighted some of the best offers you can already find.
How Best Buy's October sales work
Best Buy's fall sale is actually three separate sales, which started Sept. 27 and continue through Oct. 12. The first two sales—a 48-hour flash sale from Sept. 27-28 and a members-only sale from Sept. 28 to Oct. 5, have ended.
The current offering, the Techtober Sale, started today, Oct. 6, and continues through Oct. 12. This will be Best Buy's equivalent to Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which runs from Oct. 7 to Oct. 8.
The best "Techtober Sale" deals right now
Laptops
The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 256GB SSD is $799 (originally $999). This is the most basic option, but arguably the best laptop for most people.
Gamers should consider the Lenovo LOQ 15.6" Full HD Gaming Laptop, currently $549.99 (originally $869.99). It has a RTX 4050 graphics card, Ryzen 5 chipset, and 16GB of RAM for under $550.
If you're not an Apple user and need a solid laptop to do work, the Dell Inspiron 15.6" Touch Screen Laptop is a good choice at $699.99 (originally $1,099).
Headphones
The Sony WH1000XM4 might be two generations old by now, but they're still solid headphones in 2025. For $269 (originally $348) you can get a quality pair of headphones that will last you many years.
Apple users should consider the Beats Studio Pro for $244.99 (originally $349.99), since they have more features than with Android phones, like auto-switch with Apple devices.
TVs
The Hisense 85" Class U7 Series MiniLED QLED is $1,499.99 (originally $2,499.99). A huge discount for a gigantic TV.
If you're looking for an OLED, though, consider the LG 65" Class C5 Series OLED evo AI for $1,499.99 (originally $2,699.99). One of the best value OLED TVs in the market right now.
For those with a tighter budget that still want an OLED and not sacrifice size, get the 65" Class S84F OLED for $999.99 (originally $1,999). This is likely the best OLED discount you'll see this whole week.
The LG 48" Class B5 Series OLED AI is perfect for those who need a smaller TV but still want an OLED. At the $649.99 (originally $1,299.99) price, it's so far the only reputable and established OLED at this price during the sale
The Insignia 55" Class QF Series QLED is just $209.99 (originally $399.99), making it a great budget QLED TV for anyone looking for a decent TV for not the lowest anyone should be paying for a TV.
