Memorial Day Weekend has finally arrived and deals on popular tech items are finally in circulation. Right now, prices on top-rated headphones have dipped in anticipation for the holiday and laptops are available at discounts of up to $300. To find the ones worth your attention, we consulted consumer analyst Julie Ramhold from DealNews.com, who came through with some notable insights. We also highlighted discounts on some of the top selling products we’ve previously covered.

When is Memorial Day Weekend 2020?

Memorial Day was officially established in 1967 as a way to pay tribute to U.S. Armed Forces service members — unofficially, its roots go back to the Civil War. It also marks the unofficial beginning of summer, having become an American tradition rife with weekend travel and grilling-centric get togethers. This year, Memorial Day is on Monday, May 25, 2020. This means most ongoing sales will run through the end of Memorial Day Weekend, which begins on Friday, May 22.

“I would start watching for Memorial Day sales now,” said Ramhold. “Definitely keep an eye out a week before Memorial Day, as sales should be rolling out by then at the latest.” Some retilers offer heftier discounts than others, meaning there are specific retailers you’ll want to focus on. “Best Buy will likely have tech discounted along with large appliances for Memorial Day, and B&H Photo Video could have another sweeping sale to discount cameras, computers and accessories during its sale,” Ramhold noted.

Last year, DealNews.com reported plenty of TV deals. Ramhold also told NBC News to keep an eye on Bluetooth speakers, headphones and smart home.
