Today’s Best Tech Deals: Galaxy Watches, Surface Laptop 7, and More
It’s time for your daily dose of tech savings! Today’s highlights include incredible deals on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch models, a significant price drop on Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7, and tempting discounts on Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Let’s dive into the details.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Deals: Free Buds and Price Cuts
Samsung is pulling out all the stops to attract smartwatch buyers. The most eye-catching offer is a FREE set of $250 Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with every Galaxy Watch Ultra purchase. That’s right, you can score a premium pair of earbuds completely free when you buy the top-of-the-line Galaxy Watch Ultra.
While Samsung has offered straight cash discounts on the Galaxy Watch Ultra in the past, this bundle deal could be even more appealing. The free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro add considerable value, especially if you were already planning to purchase a set of wireless earbuds.
Here’s how to claim your free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro:
- Navigate to the Galaxy Watch Ultra product page on Samsung’s website.
- Choose your preferred color and band style.
- Scroll down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section.
- Select "No, Get $150 Samsung Instant Credit."
- Continue scrolling to the "Make your Galaxy epic with an exclusive" section.
- Choose the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and they will be automatically added to your order for FREE.
In addition to the Galaxy Watch Ultra deal, Samsung is also offering $100 off across the entire Galaxy Watch 7 lineup. Prices now start from $200, making it one of the best times of the year to upgrade your wristwear.
Amazon is also matching the $100 discount on select Galaxy Watch 7 models. However, purchasing directly from Samsung gives you more customization options. You can choose from a wider range of case colors, sizes, and, most importantly, band options. Amazon doesn’t offer every band configuration, particularly the Athleisure band.
Another advantage of buying from Samsung is the bundle deals available in the "Make your Galaxy epic with an exclusive" section. You can add either the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro or a Galaxy Ring to your order at a discount of up to 54%. These discounts are significantly better than what you’ll find on Amazon.
If you are in market for a new watch, you should review all the information available on the Galaxy Watch 7 before making a purchase.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 7: Snapdragon X Plus at a Steal
Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7, powered by the Snapdragon X Plus processor, is now available at Amazon for $824.45. This is the base model in black, which originally retailed for $1,200. This discount of $375 makes it one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this laptop.
The Snapdragon X Plus chip features 10 cores and delivers comparable single-core performance to the 12-core Snapdragon X Elite. It also includes a 45 TOPS NPU, which allows for seamless performance of Copilot+ and other AI tasks.
The discounted Surface Laptop 7 configuration includes 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, making it well-suited for everyday tasks. It shares many similarities with the higher-end Surface Laptop with X Elite, including a slim design, a 13.8-inch touchscreen, and Wi-Fi support.
While other colors are available, they are currently priced much higher, starting around $950. If you’re looking for the best value, the black base model is your best bet.
Alternative Laptop Option: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5
If the Surface Laptop 7 is still outside your budget, B&H has a compelling alternative: the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 16-inch laptop for $430. This laptop is powered by a 10-core Intel Core 5 processor and is marked down from its usual price of $790.
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: Diamond Edition on Sale
For those seeking open-ear earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a strong contender. The Diamond 60th Anniversary Edition is currently on sale at Amazon for $209, a $90 discount from the regular $299 price. The colorways are very appealing.
The Diamond 60th Anniversary Edition features a distinct off-white and champagne-like color scheme, which was introduced as part of Bose’s 60th-anniversary celebration. Aside from the color, this edition is identical to the standard Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Diamond Edition this year, with the exception of a brief drop to $199 during the holiday season last year.
Unlike traditional earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds clip onto the outside of your ear, leaving your ears open to your surroundings. Bose’s OpenAudio technology delivers a rich, private sound experience without blocking out external noise.
The earbuds offer up to 7 hours of playback time, and the included charging case provides an additional 2.5 full charges. Other features include Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, on-bud playback controls, and an IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance.
Google Pixel 9 Pro: 1TB Model on Sale
The 1TB Google Pixel 9 Pro is also on sale at Amazon, reduced to $1,249. This is a $300 discount from the regular price of $1,549. The google official ongoing Mothers day sale has this product sitting at $1349 or $200 off.
It’s worth noting that Amazon’s stock of the 1TB model appears to be limited. While it’s possible that more stock will become available at the same price, there’s no guarantee. Best Buy does not sell this configuration.
While there have been occasional one-off deals on the lighter capacity variants and the standard Pixel 9, the 1TB 9 Pro is typically excluded from those offers. This is only the second time we’ve seen this model available at this low price on Amazon.
If you don’t need 1TB of storage, the Google Mother’s Day sale is still live at Amazon and Best Buy, offering discounts across the Pixel 9 lineup.
