Best Tech Deals To Start 2020: AirPods, Instant Pot, PS4 Pro, and more

We made it, folks. It’s 2020. Nothing exploded. The world is still intact. Don’t believe us? Just scroll down — there’s no shortage of fantastic deals, the first thing that comes to mind when we think of the norm, to choose from. So, what’s on offer to celebrate the start of a new decade? We found Apple AirPods for $139, an Instant Pot for $79, and a PlayStation 4 Pro for $299. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s something for everyone.

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the standouts, before diving into the seemingly bottomless list of deals available right now. Just keep in mind that none of the retailers featured have specified how much stock has been set aside for each offer and when they will expire, so if you like the look of something you had best start punching in your credit card details (go on — grab it now if you don’t have it in hand!) to avoid disappointment.

Apple AirPods with Charging Case — $139 ($20 OFF)

Apple’s AirPods with Charging Case have spent more time in the discount bin these last few weeks than we’ve had hot dinners — and that’s saying something because Christmas is only just in the rear-view. Don’t let that deter you, though. If you’re looking to dip your foot into the wonderful world of true wireless earbuds, these are among the best in the business (for iPhones and iPads, at least) and at $139 you really can’t go wrong.

Instant Pot Duo 60 — $79 ($20 OFF)

We’ve long said you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a hearty, slow-cooked meal from an Instant Pot, and we maintain that opinion in 2020. Just throw in some ingredients in the morning, season, then leave them to simmer until dinner time. The result? No doubt the tastiest, tenderest meat and most flavorsome vegetables you’ve ever tasted. Best of all, the leading model is on sale at Amazon right now for $79 — down $21 from the usual $100.

65-inch Samsung NU6900 4K TV — $480 ($320 OFF)

There’s never been a better time to retire your aging HDTV in favor of a modern 4K TV. Why? Because we’re drowning in 4K Ultra HD content, as well as reduced 4K TVs. Just look at this 65-inch Samsung NU6900. Usually $800, the massive, high-resolution monster of a television is on sale for $480. It’s not discounted because it’s old hat, either — the NU6900 has everything you could ever need, including smart software for one-click streaming.

PlayStation 4 Pro — $299 ($100 OFF)

This one may seem a little dull because it doesn’t come as part of a bundle, but if you’re in the market for a PlayStation 4 Pro (1TB), Walmart has it for $299 — a total discount of $100. Just consider that $100 that you saved a budget to start stocking up on games. You may want to act fast, though — there are several must-have titles on sale at the moment, including Devil May Cry 5 and NBA 2K20, so you can probably squeeze a fair few out of it.
