Retailers around the globe are rolling out discounts and deals for America's birthday, and Best Buy is no exception. Its 4th of July sale has a panoply of deep discounts and offers on all sorts of stuff, from laptops and earbuds to Switch games. Here's what we think is the pick of the litter.
Asus ROG 13.4" Touch-Screen Gaming Laptop for $899.99 (list price $1,599.99)
LG 48" Class A2 Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV for $599.99 (list price $1,299.99)

My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total Members: Buy 2 Switch games, get a 3rd free
These are huge price drops—as much as 55% on some items—and stock is already running low, so don't wait until the fireworks start flying to get your order in. Best Buy's summer sale is known for its low prices, and we doubt some of these things will hit discounts this deep again.
Asus ROG Flow X13 Touch-Screen Gaming Laptop
A fifth-generation AMD Ryzen 9 CPU is the beating heart of this powerful little convertible, pumping out insane performance for a model of this price and size. In our review, we praised its crisp 4K display, tiny size, and impressive build quality, including a cool 360-degree hinge. If you're looking for even more graphical fidelity, the Flow X13 supports the Asus XG Mobile eGPU. At just 2.9 pounds, this is astoundingly lightweight, and getting $700 off retail is an unmissable deal. This configuration comes with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and Windows 11 Home with a one-year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer.

LG 48" Class A2 Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV
Over 50% off is a wild deal on LG's entry-level OLED set, but you're getting a whole lot of functionality at that price point. The 48-inch A2 Smart TV has gorgeous color fidelity, with deep blacks and rich saturation. A Game Optimizer mode reduces input lag, and the included webOS 22 interface makes it effortless to connect to your favorite streaming services. The remote has voice-access features for hands-free control with either Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.

Sony LinkBuds S Noise-Canceling Earbuds
The wireless in-ear headphone market is a tough one to crack, but Sony is giving it the old college try with its LinkBuds. In our review, we praised their "quality audio performance with rich lows and crisp, clear highs," solid build quality, and well-considered features. Sony has always been good at physical interface design, and the capacitive touch panel on each earpiece works great for playback, activating the voice assistant and more. A $70 price drop is about as good as it's going to get for these, so grab them fast.

Asus Zenbook 14.5" 2.8K OLED Laptop
If you're looking for a laptop with some serious audiovisual skills, the 14.5-inch Zenbook will be your huckleberry. Performance-wise, this is a solid system with a gorgeous 90Hz OLED display and surprisingly potent Harmon Kardon speakers that support Dolby Atmos sound. An Intel 13th Generation Core i7 processor can handle just about anything you throw at it. One super weird but sort of cool feature: the touchpad is also a tiny screen! This configuration comes with 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Windows 11 Home with a one-year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer.

Lenovo Legion Slim 7 AMD Advantage Edition 16" WQXGA Gaming Laptop
Lenovo's Legion line is well-known for squeezing a bunch of power out of midsize machines, and the Slim 7 is one of its smallest offerings. In a sleek and trendy minimalist casing, you'll find an AMD Ryzen 9 6000 Series processor that delivers solid performance, and it's light and portable enough to take just about anywhere. This configuration comes with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and Windows 11 Home with a one-year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer.

Switch Games: Buy 2, Get 1 Free
This is a huge discount on Nintendo and third-party software. Add three games to your cart and the game of equal or lesser value will be free. That's a savings of up to $59.99 on some of the Switch's best games, including Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It's also good for pre-orders on Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Super Mario RPG remaster, and Pikmin 4. You need to be a My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total member to cash in on this deal, but a Plus membership is only $49.99 for the year, so it will basically instantly pay for itself.
