This weekend, Best Buy has a sale on MacBooks, including the previous generation 15-inch MacBook Air and the M3 MacBook Pro. As usual, Best Buy's sale covers far more than just Apple products, and you'll also find solid discounts on TVs, video games, and more during the event.

PS5

Sony's PlayStation 5 Slim console launched last November and Best Buy and other retailers have been hosting solid deals on the hardware for a few weeks now. At Best Buy, you can get the PS5 Slim (Disc Edition) Spider-Man 2 Bundle for $449.99, down from its launch price of $499.99.

The PS5 Slim (Digital Edition) Spider-Man 2 Bundle is available for $399.99, down from $449.99. Sony increased the price of the Digital Edition by $50 at the launch of the new Slim consoles, so this deal effectively brings the price back down to the level of the original PS5 Digital Edition.



Both bundles also include the Spider-Man 2 game as a digital download, which is an extra value worth $69.99 when not on sale. You can also find video game gift cards on sale at Best Buy this week, as well as Nintendo Switch consoles and games.

TVs

A highlight of the TV sale at Best Buy is a new offer that includes a free 65-inch class Samsung 4K TV, and free installation, when you purchase select Samsung TVs. Additionally, My Best Buy Plus/Total members can save $100 on these TVs. You can find the full list of eligible TVs on Best Buy's website.



Of course, there are many more deals on TVs beyond Samsung, including big savings on LG, TCL, Sony, Hisense, and Insignia. Many of these deals are available to all shoppers, but some do require a My Best Buy Plus/Total membership in order to see the all-time low prices.

Man, these are great deals…but the pull to buy through Apple is so strong: pay monthly, return without hassle with no restocking fee, trade-in your device (with sometimes higher values than through Best Buy trade-in), etc. I’d love to purchase a new M3 for so little but the convenience factor at Apple Stores is very high…

They might have some 2023 M2 Mac mini’s for $499, I snagged one the other week and it works great.
Had to do a project with daVinci resolve and it was much faster than the Intel version.

If you do buy via another big retailer like best buy... as longs you buy apple care... you're covered for anything going wrong..

Apple do have a great return option... but if you're certain about the purchase... buying from another retailer is great if they have a decent deal on the item you want.

Yes, true; although I’d caution people against buying Apple Care from Amazon because I’ve done that and had to return an Apple Watch recently but they told me the Apple Care is NOT refundable once purchased. They made a special exception for me since I did not know— but beware, this is a sketchy practice by some big name companies….

I wasn't aware of that... I'm sure the Apple Care plan is generally refundable, especially with big companies. In any case, the best thing to do, if there is a great deal on, is to buy the device from that company... and buy the apple care direct from Apple.

Yup, exactly what I did with the second Series 9 I bought. 😎

Between the M2 price reductions and the recent offering of the M1 at $649-699, people who need only a low-end machine for basic clerical tasks are suddenly spoiled for choice!

I buy a lot of things from BestBuy, being a TotalTech Member gets you free AppleCare+ on all Apple products. Never buying from Apple directly again.

I will only buy my phones from Apple, because Best Buy's phones are network locked and they also force you to pay an activation fee even if you already have an active SIM from your old phone. Apple Store means you have the option of an unlocked phone and you avoid activation fee.

And the education discounts from Apple mean I get a better deal on computers and accessories than at Best Buy. I remember buying a MacBook and not only was it discounted but I received a $150 gift card during back to school season.

That’s great— I’m happy it works for you. I don’t buy enough through Best Buy to make it worth it— I love the simplicity of purchasing direct through Apple and knowing I can return to any Apple Store.

I always buy AC+ from my university's bookstore, since they charge less for it than Apple does. And I like patronizing them. Here's what I found for a AC+ for a 16" MBP:
Apple Store (online): $399
Apple Educational Store (online): $359
My university's bookstore: $329
