Every 4th of July sale is worth a look, and this year’s are no exception. Way ahead of waiting for the winter sales, the 4th of July sales are a splendid prime opportunity to inject some new-tech goodness into your home and your life to enhance the summer weeks.

Although we’re ahead of the actual date, the Independence Day sales, like most other sales events, have already begun this week and, like most other sales events, might well continue on after the holiday itself – we’ll wait to confirm that of course. Whatever happens, though, we’re rounding up some of the best 4th of July deals right here.
Be it a new gaming laptop that might be part of the first big wave of sub-thousand dollar ray-tracing capable laptops; or a brand-new, massive 4K TV – as we enjoy prices of 65-inch TVs and above plummet; or some great accessories or smart tech for the home, it’s all worth a look.
