"The Alienware 16X Aurora is the brand's best value to date, combining a mid-range collection of components to produce sturdy 1080p gaming experiences in a chassis that feels far more luxurious than its price would suggest." — Tabitha Baker, GamesRadar

"The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 takes everything great about its predecessor and makes it thinner, lighter, and longer-lasting. This is a phenomenal 2-in-1 convertible laptop that also benefits from being a Copilot+ PC."

"Samsung's highest-end Galaxy Book right now is an excellent alternative to the extremely expensive Dell XPS 16 or even MacBook Pro 16, with a slim and straightforward design, gorgeous display, and fantastic performance. If you have other Samsung products, it also ties into that ecosystem very nicely."

"Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Edge succeeds as a zippy Copilot+ Windows 11 laptop that provides plenty of runway for productivity and personal tasks. You'll view it all on a vibrant and poppy 14-inch or 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, and the overall build is focused on being lightweight and portable." — Jacob Krol, TechRadar

"Powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X processor and now with a stunning 120Hz OLED display and flexible Flex Keyboard, Microsoft's new Surface Pro 11 is the most exciting version since the original Surface Pro. Excellent performance and battery life make this Copilot+ PC a must-recommend."

"This laptop is honestly a great option for around $1,000, even though I'm genuinely not a fan of HP's new "lattice-less" keyboard design. Good hardware and plenty of configuration options seal the deal, and frequent sales make the OmniBook X Flip 14 even more enticing."

What is Best Buy's Techtober event?

Techtober at Best Buy began on October 6, 2025, and it is expected to run until Friday, October 12.

It's a site-wide promotion with massive discounts on practically everything that Best Buy sells, and it's designed to compete directly with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days that runs October 7 and 8, 2025.

Why shop at Best Buy?

Best Buy has put a lot of effort into improving its online shopping experience in recent years, and it's one of the best places to shop for tech in 2025.

But the perks of shopping at Best Buy don't end with deep discounts and solid customer support. Best Buy offers three tiers of memberships, starting with My Best Buy.

My Best Buy is free for everyone, and it adds free standard shipping for your purchases.

Moving up to My Best Buy Plus, which costs $49.99 per year, you get free two-day shipping, exclusive member prices, exclusive access to certain deals, and an extended 60-day return window.

And, finally, there's My Best Buy Total that costs $179.99 per year. The Total package includes every perk from the Plus package, and it adds additional protection plans, 24/7 tech support, VIP member support, and discounted repairs.

Are there are exclusive deals for My Best Buy Plus and Total members during Techtober?

Yes, My Best Buy Plus and Total members will receive a $50 certificate in their Best Buy account if they purchase a Windows laptop totaling $499 or more during the Techtober event.

Are other retailers also hosting October sales events?

Aside from Best Buy's Techtober and Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, Walmart and Target are also notably hosting October sales events.

Walmart's event is expected to run from October 7 until October 12, while Target's "Circle Week" event runs from October 5 until October 11.

With Prime Big Deal Days in the rearview, Best Buy’s Techtober sale stands out as one of the few major events still offering deep discounts across categories. Whether you’re upgrading your work laptop, hunting for a gaming rig, or eyeing a new 4K TV, these deals are still live—but only through October 12. If you skipped Amazon’s sale, this is your second chance to save big before Black Friday.
