Best Buy

We're just days away from the holiday weekend, and if you're still scrolling through circulars in hopes of on-time delivery dates, your best bet may require a little more effort. Best Buy is currently hosting a last-second savings event that, you guessed it, features thrifty discounts for procrastinating gift shoppers. But to get the products in your hands before Saturday comes along, you'll have to pick them up at the store.

This week, Best Buy is promising to have your online orders ready for pick up one hour after you place them. Obviously, that means you'll need to get out of the house and make a trip to your local brick and mortar, but securing those gifts and saving yourself from anxiously peeking out the window for packages will be worth it.

MacBook Pro 13.3'' (M1, 256GB, Latest Model) for$1,149.99

$150 off

Apple

As ZDNet tech analyst Ray Wang said it best, "the new M1 Macs are a future-proof investment and deserve serious consideration." Though, not the newest 2021 model, the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro remains a beast of a laptop thanks to Apple's powerful, yet efficient, M1 chip. With a display that some will argue looks better than the notched design of the new 14-inch model, and a cooling system that laps that of competitors, this$150 off deal is one that you simply can't pass on.

ASUS 14'' Chromebook 32GB for$149

$100 off

ASUS

It's hard to argue against a$149 Chromebook unless you're expecting one to run Photoshop and edit blockbuster movies. The$140 ASUS 14'' Chromebook is no MacBook Pro, but gets the job done if you want a laptop for browsing, emailing, or streaming shows. It comes with an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC memory, and most importantly, a pickup date available before the holiday weekend.

GoPro HERO10 Black Action Camera for$429.99

$70 off

GoPro

ZDNet's Jason Cipriani reviewed the latest action camera from GoPro in September and called it "A true jack of all trades". Thanks to a new GP2 processor, the HERO10 Black can capture stunningly-sharp 5.3K video at 60 frames per second. That makes for silky-smooth recordings and YouTube-worthy slow-mos if you decide to fix it up in post. You can pick one up with a$70 discount or have it delivered by Christmas.

Beats Studio Buds for$99.99

$50 off

Beats

Beats by Dr.Dre is best known for bass-pumping audio products that offer more in the looks department than sound. The firm's latest pair of truly wireless earbuds, however, cherish the best of both worlds. Putting the discounted price of$99 aside, I'd still recommend the Studio Buds among the sea of wireless earbuds due to its superb audio performance, comfortable and ear-tight fit, and easy-to-pocket wireless chargeable case. You can gift a pair in time for the holidays right now.

Motorola doesn't have as much flare as it did when people were flipping out over the Razr, but it still has a foothold within the US smartphone market thanks to its value-oriented devices.

Jabra Elite 85t Wireless Earbuds for$139.99

$90 off

Jabra

The truly wireless earbuds market continues to boom, with flagship-level entries that are selling for a fraction of the mainstays. We reviewed the Jabra Elite 85t late last year and found it to outpace that of Apple and Samsung in a couple of categories. For one, these earbuds pump out excellent sound performance, with six mics scattered throughout each bud for clear call quality. These currently sell for just$139.99 ($90 off).
