Here's the Top Deals of Best Buy's "Black Friday in July" Sale

July 12, 2022

Sure, today is Prime Day. And yes, we’ll have a great list of Amazon deals for you shortly. But Best Buy beat Amazon to the punch and kicked off “Black Friday” (yeah, sure) deals yesterday. The good news is that those deals are still going on today. If you’ve been looking for digital storage on the go, now’s a great time to grab a 1TB external SanDisk SSD, thanks to a deal that takes $110 off the price. Check out the complete list in the top story.

Other Highlights:

• Samsung usually likes to make its own chipset for Galaxy phones. But that may change with the S23.
• Look, I don’t know how else to say it. This study is absolutely stupid. But EVs really aren’t going to save the environment.
• Well, this little gadget turns your current curtains into smart curtains. Neat!
• …and more!
