Martin Luther King Jr. Day may not strike you as the best time for shopping, but a shocking amount of retailers are holding sales for the long weekend. Best Buy is one of them, with MLK Day deals worth checking out.
Though they're not all the best deals of the year, some of the Best Buy discounts available during the brand's four-day sale are real bangers. The popular Meta Quest 3S bundle with Batman: Arkham Shadow is now $50 off, bringing it even lower than it was on Black Friday. Unlocked smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Google Pixel 8a, are also at great low prices from the store. Apple devices are also included in the sale, with excellent prices on the Apple Pencil Pro and AirTags four-pack.
If you're on the hunt for a gift or need an upgrade, this sale is worth taking advantage of. After this, the next major sales event isn't until Presidents Day a month from now. The deals end on January 20.
I've gathered some of the promotion's highlights below, including gaming, Apple devices, smartphones, and more. You can also check out the full sale here, or use the following quick links to jump straight to a specific category.
10 best Best Buy MLK Day deals
The larger 256GB model of the new Quest 3S is for the more dedicated VR fan keen on downloading and storing a larger number of games and apps at once. VR newcomers would be better off saving some cash with the 128GB model in our book, though. Otherwise, you're getting the same excellent value headset, and all purchases currently include a code for the super-fun Batman: Arkham Shadow game (a $50 value). You're also getting three months of Meta Quest+ (worth $24).
The Galaxy S24 Ultra was Samsung's top-end phone released in 2024, set apart from its Galaxy S24 siblings and most of the premium phone competition with its four cameras, giant 6.8-inch display, stunning battery life, and included S Pen stylus.
The Pixel 8a is nominally a budget version of the Pixel 8, but you'd have a hard time telling them apart. The Pixel 8a dominates in its price range and comes easily recommended thanks to its stellar value relative to its performance, camera quality, and high-end display.
The Apple Pencil Pro features new squeeze and roll sensors for extra control, functionality, and haptic feedback. It is compatible with the 2024 iPad Airs, Pros, and Mini.
Apple's handy tracking device comes bundled in a discounted four-pack. Airtags are easy to set up and allow you to track multiple items in the Find My app alongside your friends and devices.
The 2022 MacBook Air introduced Apple's M2 processor, which improved performance over the M1 version. It has an especially thin and lightweight design, an improved webcam, and a larger display. Apple doesn't offer the base MacBook Air M2 with 8GB of RAM anymore, but it reduced the price of the 16GB model to match.
The Asus ROG Ally is a handheld gaming PC with Windows 11. Its hardware is powerful enough to run nearly any game, but its control issues make it awkward to use.
The Beats Studio Pro are wireless headphones designed to do it all, whether you want to be fully immersed in an album or take a call on the go. They offer both active noise canceling (ANC) and transparency modes, making them a versatile option for any situation.
The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro delivers smooth movement, cool RGB lighting, plenty of buttons, and a high-quality design that feels great in-hand. It’s our pick for the best wireless gaming mouse you can buy.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 improves upon earlier generations with higher storage options, a new BioActive sensor, a new Exynos W1000 processor, and new Galaxy AI-powered features.
