While it's no longer the latest in LG's lineup, it's still a fantastic OLED TV that is a steal with discount. Plus, our choice for the best laptop is on sale for $150 off. That's the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4/256GB) on sale for $849 at Best Buy.

By comparison, Amazon is offering a similar sale with prices from $ check: from $69 @ Amazon | from $74 @ Walmart E-Scooters and E-Bikes: up to 45% off @ Best BuyBest Buy is offering a range of discounts on e-scooters and e-bikes.

Laptop sale: up to $400 off @ Best BuyRight now Best Buy is taking up to $400 off select Windows laptops. The sale includes laptops from HP, Samsung, Lenovo and more. This is one of the only cameras we awarded 5 stars to. In our Insta360 X4 review, we said the X4 is one of the most powerful 360 cameras ever made, shooting full 360 degree content in 8K (which ends up at 2.7K when reframed to 16:9 for viewing on a screen.) If you want to shoot awesome and surreal 360 or invisible selfie stick footage, this is the camera to buy. Hisense is setting a new bar for value with its U6QF Mini-LED TV, which drops Google TV in favor of Fire TV. You still get an awesome suite of features built on a 144Hz refresh rate with HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support. As one of the cheapest options to get for gaming, the U6QF is a powerful display for PC gamers leveraging tons of brightness. The B4 is LG's entry-level OLED TV. This TV supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and has improved picture quality thanks to LG's A8 processor. For gamers, it features four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 120Hz refresh rate, a brightness booster and Game Optimizer Mode. In our LG B4 OLED review, we called the Editor's Choice TV the value OLED TV of the year. The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive. The LG C4 OLED is powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said the content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the C4 series. Just note the newer LG C5 OLED is now available. Part of LG's 2025 TV lineup, the LG C5 OLED is here as the value pick of the year. Offering a slew of features, like a range of HDR certifications and gaming specs for the PS5 Pro crowd, the C5 proves a major improvement over its predecessor. We called it "nearly flawless" and gave it a 5-star rating in our LG C5 OLED TV review. Price check: $1,496 @ Amazon The new Fire TV Stick 4K sports an upgraded 1.7GHz quad-core processor that's 30% more powerful than the previous model. In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K review, we praised its 4K video quality for a budget price. Features include Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support, Wi-Fi 6 support and a Live TV guide button on the remote. You also get Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos support to improve your streaming audio. The Ring Indoor Cam (2023) can record 1080p video, scare off intruders with a built-in siren, and detect motion in specified zones. It is more compact than the previous model with the addition of a new privacy shutter and upgraded mount. Right now you can get a two-pack for $59 — that's the same price as a single camera. This bundle gets you a Blink Outdoor 4 Camera and a Blink Floodlight Mount for just $59. The wireless setup runs entirely on battery so it can be placed on virtually any surface without existing floodlight wiring. It's perfect for use in dark areas like on a shed or the side of your home. The Ring Battery Doorbell can be easily installed to watch your front door, while the Indoor Cam can be set up in less than ten minutes to view the interior of your home and give you a 1080p HD view complete with motion detection and a privacy cover. Though the Indoor Cam does require a power outlet, it also provides two way audio and noise cancellation and has a wide field of view. The Ring Battery Doorbell is our best value choice for Ring doorbells because it delivers the features we like most in Ring doorbells but still costs less than $100. This bundle includes two Blink Outdoor 4 cameras and the new Blink Sync Module XR, which can extend the range of the cameras to as much as 400 feet. The Asus Vivobook 14 is a solid laptop for shoppers on a budget. It comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 12GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. It also has a 14-inch 1920 x 1080 FHD display that reaches 250 nits of brightness. The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra discount, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. This is the one of the best Copilot+ PC deals available! This 14-inch thin and light laptop features a Snapdragon X Elite for impressive performance and power efficiency, complemented by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The JLab Go Air Sport are ludicrously good value at their full price of $29, so to get them for just $24 on sale is unreal. They're some of the best budget running headphones we've ever tested, with a reliable fit and surprisingly good sound quality given the low price. If you want a speaker that can truly fill a space, this is it. Our JBL Boombox 3 review praised this speaker's impressively wide sound and thumping bass. It also lasts for up to 24 hours of battery life, and has a strong IP67 durability rating against water and dust. Just note that it's hefty, coming in at 14.7 pounds. The BlueAir Blue Pure 511i Max has a coverage of 926 sq ft, so it's great for small rooms. It uses HEPASilent, dual filtration technology to remove at least 99% of airborne particles in the air. It also runs very quiet and you can even control it via the Blueair app. Plus, its modern design makes it easy to blend into any room. The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist has a refillable misting tank onboard to make you instantly cool. It can act as both corded or cordless, with a up to 24 hour running time (depending on what speed setting you use). Its portable design means you can take advantage of the mist spray both indoor or out.

Duracell sues Energizer over battery life claims in high-voltage feud
In a battle of the batteries, Duracell has sued Energizer, accusing its rival of crossing the positive line and misleading consumers in a nationwide TV and online ad campaign about whose batteries last longer. Duracell, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, filed a complaint in Manhattan federal court on June 13, stating that it has suffered irreparable harm and lost customer goodwill due to Energizer Max ads featuring Energizer's sunglasses-clad, drum-beating pink bunny. Duracell contested claims that Energizer Max outlasts Duracell Power Boost batteries by 10 per cent, that it 'beats' Duracell, and is 'proven to last longer' in the ongoing power struggle between the two brands. It said Energizer based those claims solely on a comparison of AA batteries under the non-profit American National Standards Institute's personal grooming products standard and does not apply to all Duracell batteries. Story continues below advertisement The claims 'necessarily imply the false message that Energizer Max batteries outlast all Duracell batteries' and represent 'a clear effort by Energizer to expand its market share — at Duracell's expense,' Duracell said in the high-voltage feud against its competitor. 3:59 Health Matters: Button battery poisoning One of Energizer's recent YouTube ads shows their pink bunny battling it out with a battery that looks very similar to a Duracell product.

Energizer Max outlasts Duracell Power Boost by 10 per cent. No fluff. Just facts. Energizer Max now powered by enhanced energy,' a voiceover states. Duracell accused Energizer of false advertising under federal and New York unfair competition laws but Energizer has yet to respond to the claim. It is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, including lost profits and an injunction requiring 'corrective advertising.' Story continues below advertisement This isn't the first time the companies have battled it out in a fully charged courtroom. In 2022, Energizer won a seven-year court case against Duracell in a Canadian court after arguing that Duracell packaging couldn't claim its products lasted longer than Energizer products because of the contravened trademark law, since their slogan is famously associated with the Energizer Bunny that 'keeps going and going and going.' The court ruled in Energizer's favour regarding the use of its trademarks in Duracell's campaign, awarding Energizer a permanent injunction and $179,000 in damages. In 2019 and 2020, Duracell and Energizer sued each other in the Manhattan court over performance claims in ads for Duracell Optimum and Energizer Max batteries. Both lawsuits were resolved and voluntarily dismissed in December 2020. It seems that Energizer 'keeps suing and suing and suing' as they won another lawsuit against Duracell in 2016 for using a pink bunny mascot in their ads even though Duracell began using a pink bunny in 1973. View image in full screen Pink rabbit and a drum, emblem of Duracell from 1973. Apic/Getty Images Energizer began featuring a pink bunny in their ad campaigns in 1989 and Duracell retained European rights to the bunny in a deal between the two companies in 1992. But Energizer claimed its rights were violated in 2016 because packages of Duracell batteries featuring the rabbit began showing up in stores in the United States after being imported from Europe. Story continues below advertisement View image in full screen The Energizer Bunny during the filming of a television commercial, July 27, 2000, in Los Angeles, Calif. Getty Images/Bob Riha, Jr. After Energizer filed a trademark infringement and contract violation against its rival, Duracell replied and said the cases Energizer cited came from overseas distributors imported packages abroad and that they did not have the power to stop those distributors from shipping them. In November 2017, a United States District judge threw out most of Energizer's claims in the judgement, but left the breach of the 1992 territorial contract. As for the latest legal power struggle between the two battery giants, it seems the feud will keep on going and going with a fully charged debate. — With files from Reuters
