Dealmaster: All the best 4th of July tech deals we can find
Ars Technica

Greetings, Arsians! It’s Independence Day in the US, so today the Dealmaster is celebrating one of the greatest American traditions—buying stuff—with a roundup of the best 4th of July tech sales he can find.

Some highlights this holiday include LG’s 55-inch B8 OLED TV for just $999, which is a great price for a TV that still looks fantastic despite being a year old. Sony’s WH-1000XM3 is down to $298, a $50 discount for arguably the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, while the 64GB variant of Apple’s 11-inch iPad Pro is down to $630 at Amazon, which is a new low. Beyond that, we’ve also got a bunch of 4th of July sales on laptops and desktop PCs, including a GTX 1660 Ti-equipped Asus gaming laptop for $950 and HP’s premium 13-inch Spectre x360 for $900.

There are plenty more deals to peruse beyond that, so if you’re looking to pick up some new gear in between grilling and heading to the beach, have a look at our full rundown below.
