Best Buy has no chill. If you're thinking, "Wait, didn't Best Buy just hold a three-day sale last week?" it's because yes, it did. And I'm pleased to say that the deals during this weekend's sale trump the last one.

Best Buy's three-day sale begins today and runs through Sunday, Dec. 17 at 12:59 a.m. ET, which gives you three days to snag some stellar deals on gadgets from big name brands like Apple, Samsung, Bose, HP, Lenovo, and more. Whether you're still knocking out holiday shopping or you're ready to treat yourself for getting it done, there's certainly a deal for you. Just note that there will be limited quantities during the sale and zero rain checks. TL;DR: if you see a deal you want, grab it ASAP.

Note: The three-day sale is open to all shoppers, but My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members can unlock exclusive extra savings on select products, which are noted below.

TV deals

Why we like it

Just released in late summer 2023, the TCL Q5 Series is the brand's most affordable QLED. And with the 3-day sale at Best Buy dropping the price down to just $299.99, it's even more affordable. It still offers decent specs, like HDR PRO+ with Dolby Vision, Motion Rate 240 motion smoothing technology, three HDMI ports, and built-in Google Assistant, but without a hefty price tag. If you're looking for a quality 55-inch TV that won't break the bank, this is your best bet.

Laptop deals

Opens in a new window Credit: Microsoft Our pick: Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (Intel Core i5-1235U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

Why we like it

Our favorite 2-in-1 laptop on the market, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9, is down to $899.99 during this weekend's 3-day sale, which is $50 cheaper than it was during Best Buy's 3-day sale last weekend. The 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD version is a step up from the base model, so you'll get a bit more storage space. The Surface Pro 9 is the first Surface to offer 5G support, plus it pairs with the Slim Pen 2 (sold separately) that we loved upon testing. As we noted in our roundup, "We can see how it could make a Microsoft fan of even the staunchest Apple die-hard."

Apple deals

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS)

Why we like it

A Cyber Monday deal, back in the flesh: the Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS) is back down to just $329 during Best Buy's 3-day sale. That's $70 in savings and $20 cheaper than it was during last weekend's sale. The Series 9 introduces the new S9 chip, a brighter display, and the Double Tap feature. It still has the same 18-hour battery life, unfortunately, but it's certainly an upgrade for those with older Apple Watches.

Headphone and speaker deals

Opens in a new window Credit: Bose Our pick: Bose Headphones 700

Why we like it

The only thing we didn't like about the Bose Headphones 700 when we tested them was the astronomical price tag. So, this $100 discount is certainly worth checking out. They're still our favorite noise-canceling headphones, thanks to their 10 adjustable ANC levels (plus one without). Plus, they look good and offer superb sound quality. They're not quite as comfortable as the QuietComfort 45s, but we're willing to look past it. Especially when they're $50 cheaper than they were during last week's sale.
