Dealmaster: All the best Memorial Day sales on TVs, laptops, and more tech

Greetings, Arsians! It’s Memorial Day here in the US, and for the Dealmaster that means it’s time to check in with another big list of tech sales and bargains. While today’s holiday is truly about honoring those who have served for our country, retailers, as they often do, have turned the day into a giant shopping event.

Many of the deals out there apply to mattresses, appliances, and other home goods, but those looking for discounts on tech aren’t totally left in the cold, as there are a number of sales on laptops, televisions, and other electronics as well. Because he loves you, the Dealmaster has taken a break from his long weekend to round these up for you below.

The highlights today include various sales on iPads, Lenovo and Dell laptops, LG and Samsung 4K TVs, the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, and more. You can have a look at our full Memorial Day sales roundup below.
