Best Buy's 4th of July sale: Save big on iPads, laptops, and more

SAVE UP TO $300: Score discounts on iPads, laptops, TVs, and other must-have tech during Best Buy's 4th of July sale.

Best Buy is a top destination for all things tech. It’s one of the best places to get gaming consoles, laptops, iPads, and so much more (including the fancy coffee pot I bought my mom this past Christmas).

While Best Buy does a pretty good job of keeping its prices semi-affordable throughout the year, the retailer pulls out all the stops for its major holiday sales, including the 4th of July.

This year, Best Buy’s 4th of July sale features deals on everything from major appliances (up to $960 off select refrigerators) to small kitchen gadgets to high-end electronics. And, if you’re a My Best Buy member, you’ll save even more. But you’d better hurry: This sale ends Sunday (which means you still have time to hit the beach or have a backyard BBQ and shop in between).

Here are some of the best deals you can find during Best Buy’s 4th of July sale:
