Ring Stick Up Security Camera — $85, was $100

Every family has different security needs and preferences. The Ring Stick Up Cam Battery model is an excellent choice for most home security configurations.

The Ring Stick Up Cam records 1080p full HD video with a 130-degree horizontal field of view when its motion detector senses movement. You can configure the camera to send an alert to your smartphone so you can talk to whoever is in range via the camera’s two-way audio feature. The camera is Alexa-compatible, so you can see live video or view recorded video clips stored in the cloud with any Amazon Echo-compatible smart display.

Normally $100, the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery is on sale for $85 at Best Buy and includes a free third-generation Amazon Echo Dot.

One of the best laptop deals is a great choice for students heading back to school and wanting something stylish by their side. Right now at Best Buy, you can buy the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 for $1,000 saving $300 off the regular price of $1,300. Dipping under the $1,000 mark makes this a much more attractive option for discerning customers. We're here to tell you why this might be the laptop for you.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5
There's a lot to love about the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 if you want something that looks good, is highly portable, yet is still fairly powerful. It uses an Intel Evo Platform Core i5 processor so it's pretty speedy while also offering efficient battery life of up to 18 hours. Yup, you're not going to need to recharge it throughout the day. Alongside the 12th-generation processor is 8GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. The latter means it's unlikely you'll run out of space soon which is a big bonus. Perhaps the highlight though is the 13.6-inch PixelSense touchscreen that looks better and sharper than many of the best laptops. The 2256 x 1504 resolution looks crisp as you use it, while its size means the laptop weighs under three pounds so you can easily take it between classes.
