The Best Early Memorial Day 2026 Tech Deals on Laptops, Smartphones, Tablets, and More
Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and as we get ready for the holiday weekend, we can't help but notice that the deals are already coming in hot and heavy. Major retailers use holidays as pegs to hang sales events on, and I simply can't resist a sale. While we're still a week away from the holiday itself, Amazon , Walmart , and others are already dropping prices. Here are just a few of the top early Memorial Day tech deals we've found so far (with more will be added daily).
Microsoft Surface Laptop Deal
Holiday sales are among the best times to save big on laptops, and Best Buy is cutting the line with a serious $300 discount on the luxurious, lightweight Microsoft Surface model, which fuses the convenience of a touchscreen with powerhouse AI performance. In our review , we raved about its high-quality metal build, excellent benchmarking results, and all-day battery life. Throw in tons of ports and cool haptic feedback from the touchpad, and you have a laptop worth picking up. There are a few different Surface models on sale at Best Buy right now, but we like this loadout because it comes in at a near-budget price, and the dune finish on the shell is eye-catching and unique.
Samsung Galaxy S25+ Deal
If it's time for a new phone, don't get shackled into a carrier contract before you check out early Memorial Day deals. Amazon has the excellent Samsung Galaxy S25+ for $300 off right now, but supplies are dwindling. We raved about this excellent Android mobile in our review , noting its gorgeously bright and colorful display, lightning-fast performance, and spectacular cameras. With a Samsung Armor Aluminum frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2-covered screen and back panel, it's attractive and durable. Connectivity is also excellent, with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 support. We couldn't find much to criticize about this phone, and for this price, it's unbeatable.
iPad Air M3 Deal
Tablets are also seeing price drops, but none as dramatic as a full $400 off the spectacular 2025 iPad Air. We gave this creativity slate an Editors' Choice in our review , noting that while it looked virtually identical to the previous version on the outside, the improved processor delivers upgrades across the board, including better battery life, processing speed, and even camera performance. This is the top-end loadout, featuring a full terabyte of internal storage and a 5G cellular radio for network access wherever you go. While a newer model just came out earlier this year, the M3 is still a top choice for content creation and gaming.
Ring Outdoor Cam Plus Deal
Amazon's house brands are already seeing big price drops for Memorial Day, and if you're looking to harden your home security, the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus is a cost-effective way to get 24-hour coverage with lots of neat features. We have a positive review , noting that it performed well even in low light, was a breeze to install, and played nicely with Alexa smart home systems. It's effortless to connect multiple cameras, have them send customized alerts, and play a loud siren. This model is battery-powered and can go several months between charges. Note that to store and retrieve footage in the cloud, you'll need a Ring subscription, which starts at $4.99 a month.
Life360 Tile Bluetooth Tracker Deal
With all the hot tech you're going to take home this week, you might have a hard time keeping track of it all. That's where our last deal comes in: a steep 24% discount on a two-pack of Life360 Tile Bluetooth trackers. These tiny little rectangles hold Bluetooth radios that use Life360's proprietary network, with over 70 million users, to precisely locate themselves. We've got an extensive review where we put the Tile through its paces, concluding that it was simple to set up and very accurate, and had an advantage over Apple's AirTag in that it works with both iOS and Android devices. It also has an added security feature that lets you send an SOS signal to selected devices by triple-tapping its face button.
