It’s the last week of the year: The most amazing time to shop and save. While there are sales across categories right now, it’s the exceptional tech deals that make this week truly special. When it comes to discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, tablets, smart home devices, and more, the end of the year is time to clear out (hence drop prices way, way down).
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of markdowns, and unsure where to begin? Never fear. We’ve sifted through the offerings from top retailers—Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and more—and assembled the absolute best deals. Want to set yourself up with smart home devices for the new year? Does someone in the family need a faster laptop for school or work? Did you get that video game you wanted from Santa? Make your list, and check it twice. From the micro (the small-but-mighty Apple AirPods) to the macro (a massive new Sony 4K Smart TV), we’ve got the very best year-end tech bargains right here.
This stuff moves fast, so don’t delay. Scroll and shop, and grab what you want before it’s gone.
TVs
Amazon has one of its bestselling TVs—the Insignia 39-inch Smart HD TV—Fire TV Edition on sale for $170 right now. This is the all-time lowest price we’ve seen for this model. Equipped with a Standard HD resolution of 720p, it’s the perfect size for a small space. And it lets you stream movies and shows from Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video and more without adding a separate device.
“This TV is exactly what I wanted for my office,” raved a delighted five-star reviewer. “It is small in size, but big on picture quality and sound. It was easy to set up, just like my other Fire TVs; and, easy to use with voice- or remote-control. I have had no issues using the TV with Amazon Prime and all of the other apps I installed to stream television, movies and music.”

Earbuds and headphones
If you’re looking for an excellent money-saving alternative to Apple AirPods, look no further. These Samsung Galaxy Buds work flawlessly with Samsung Galaxy and Android smartphones and are only $79—that’s $41 off their regular price.
Just open up the charging case and they’ll instantly sync up via the Samsung Wearable app for Android. The charging case (brilliantly) doubles as a wireless charging pad for your phone. It even works the other way around, to give the Galaxy Buds additional juice (something you can’t do with AirPods).
These earbuds have tens of thousands of positive reviews. One Amazon customer vouched for their comfortable fit: “Well, looks like I have a new daily pair of headphones,” shared the shopper. “Quality beats out my AirPods, by far. If you had the previous generation headphones, get these, they are by far better and they feel amazing in your ear compared to every headphone I’ve owned.”
Want to feel even better about the purchase? Compare the price of these Samsung Galaxy Buds price to the cost of Apple AirPods.

Smart home
Released in late 2020 with an all-new sphere design, the fourth generation Echo Dot—which is marked down from $50 to just $30 at Amazon—is a small but powerful speaker with a glow-light base. It can stream tunes from Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius XM and more with clearer, more robust audio quality than earlier iterations.
It can even pair with another Echo Dot to create amazing stereo sound. Alexa is included for the latest news and weather. Shoppers love the compact dimensions, which make the Echo Dot great for smaller rooms.
“This is exactly what I was looking for,” raved a happy Amazon shopper. “The sound is loud and clear. Now I am able to hear all online stations with no interference. The design is space-saving, with rubber underneath to prevent sliding.”
Get two (for that stereo effect, or for two different rooms) and save $50 off original price with code DOT2PACK at checkout.

Gaming
The Xbox Series X/S just came out a few weeks ago, so it’s very unlikely we’ll see the console or any of its games on sale anytime soon. But hidden deep on microsoft.com, you’ll find Watch Dogs: Legion on sale. Right now, you can score this title for half off, down from $60 to just $30.
This action/adventure game from Ubisoft takes place in a near future where London is on the verge of collapse. All-seeing surveillance state and private military are in control, while the fate of the city is in the hands of DedSec, a hacker group that wants to fight back for freedom. It’s as fun as it sounds. And for $30 off? A steal.
