The most affordable version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV features a 24-inch display with HD resolution for vibrant picture quality while you’re watching your favorite shows and movies. The TV runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform, which enables easy access not only to Amazon Prime Video but also to other streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. The platform also seamlessly integrates your preferred streaming content with live over-the-air channels to make it easier to choose what you’ll be watching as you’ll have all your options in one place.

If a 24-inch screen is too small for you, then you should consider going for the 32-inch version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV. On top of the bigger display, it retains all of its smaller counterpart’s smart TV functions, which are as important here as they are in Digital Trends’ 4K TV buying guide. Owning a smart TV, which connects directly to the internet through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, is becoming increasingly important these days because of all the content you can consume from the best on-demand streaming services, with most shows and movies that generate a lot of buzz exclusive to their respective platforms. With the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series smart TV, you can easily discover and access such content, in addition to launching a variety of other apps for news, utilities, and gaming.

Insignia 39-inch F20 Series smart TV — $190, was $250

The largest of this trio of affordable smart TVs, the 39-inch version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV moves closer to the top picks in Digital Trends’ best TVs. It also runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform with support for Alexa through the voice remote — all you need to do to call the digital assistant is to say “Alexa,” then follow that with your voice command. Of course, streaming services accessed through Fire TV aren’t your only sources of content, as the TV’s three HDMI ports will let you connect Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and gaming consoles at the same time so you can freely switch between them. With a 39-inch screen, this TV is just the right size for a small living room or your bedrooms, and with this deal from Best Buy, you’ll likely be able to afford multiples so that the whole family can enjoy watching a smart TV from wherever they are in the house.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop with the Windows 11 interface on the display.

If you're planning to buy a new laptop but you don't need a top-tier machine, you should be looking at the more affordable end of the laptop deals that are available online. Here's a solid option -- the Lenovo IdeaPad 1, which is on sale from Best Buy for just $200 following a $130 discount on its original price of $330. It's the laptop equivalent of a daily driver, which should give you an idea on what to expect from it, but if you're interested, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase quickly because it won't stay this cheap for long.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop
The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 isn't as powerful as the top-of-the-line models of the best laptops, so it's not capable of demanding tasks like editing huge multimedia files or playing video games at the highest graphic settings. However, for basic functions like typing reports, managing spreadsheets, and doing online research, it's more than enough with its AMD Athlon Silver 7120U processor, integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. It also comes with Windows 11 Home in S Mode out of the box, pre-loaded in a 128GB SSD that will provide ample space for your documents.
