HP 4th of July sale: get a gaming PC with an RTX 3060 for under $950
The HP Victus 15L gaming PC on a desk.

HP has been quite impressive recently with its OMEN lineup of laptops and Desktops, and it's done a pretty great job of the Victus as well, giving you a great gaming PC for a great price. In fact, HP is even discounting it further for the 4th of July, with a $920 price tag instead of the $1,400 it usually goes for, which is a significant $480 discount.

Why you should buy the Victus by HP 15L
Under the hood, the Victus 15L runs an RTX 3060, which is a relatively powerful card, and while it won't win any awards, it's great if you want a mid-range graphics card. In fact, you'll be able to play everything from Diablo 4 to Call of Duty: Warzone with relatively good settings, although you'll likely have to give up some graphical settings for a higher framerate. Luckily, this RTX 3060 has 12 GB of VRAM, so you can use RTX DLSS to help with better graphics and higher graphical settings. The Victus 15L also has a ton of space, with a 512Gb SSD for primary storage and a 1TB HDD for secondary storage. However, the latter won't be great for AAA gaming, so keep those on the primary storage, or consider upgrading it yourself.

4th of July sales drop the price of these Bose noise-canceling earbuds
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds.

Are you looking to buy new wireless earbuds in this year's 4th of July sales? Here's a highly recommended option -- the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, which are available from Best Buy at $49 off. You'll only have to pay $150 for these noise-canceling earbuds instead of $199, but with time running out on the offer, you're going to have to proceed with your purchase immediately if you're interested. Once the bargain is gone, we're not sure when you'll get another chance at it.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II were launched nearly a year ago, but you'll still get an amazing listening experience with their predecessor, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Their main selling point is active noise cancellation, which isn't a surprise because Bose pioneered the development of the technology that's now found in most of the best wireless earbuds. When Quiet Mode is activated, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds use powerful microphones to monitor the sounds in your environment, then they produce opposite signals to cancel them out. However, if you need to hear what's going on around you, a double tap switches the wireless earbuds to Aware Mode, which will let you listen to your music and your surroundings at the same time.

Amazon’s 4th of July sale brings a big discount on the Ring Video Doorbell
A person pressing the button of the Ring Video Doorbell 3.

Amazon helped the industry of smart doorbells take off with their Ring Doorbells, and while there are a lot of different options out there, whether you go for Amazon or another brand, the basic model is still great. It's also a great option if you want something budget-friendly, especially with this 4th of July discount from Amazon, bringing it down to $55 rather than $100, which is nearly 50% off.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell
If you look at our Ring Video Doorbell buying guide, you'll see a lot of versions of the Ring out there, but this version is the basic version, which is why it's so cheap. Even so, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 is a solid smart doorbell with a 1080p camera that lets you see everything. The included microphones mean you can hear everything as well, and you can talk back if you need to as well, which is always handy if you aren't at home. Luckily, the Ring Doorbell 2 supports both wired and wireless, which makes setup a lot easier, and you'll get a few months out of the battery, so you don't have to swap it out often.
