Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Watch 5, the company&#8217;s speedy T7 portable SSD, solid options for TVs in a range of sizes from TCL, LG, and Samsung, and $150 off the latest-generation MacBook Airs in different configurations.<\/p>\n<p>The MacBook Air deal brings the new M2-powered laptop down to its lowest price only a few months after its June release.  Both the 256GB and 512GB are available for $150 off at $1049 and $1349, respectively.  While storage is the main difference to consider here, you can also grab a 2021 MacBook Pro with 512GB storage for $1,049 and gain a bit better performance for sustained workloads and a nicer display.<\/p>\n<p>We break down all the differences to consider in our MacBook buying guide, but the 2021 13-inch MacBook Pro falls right in between the 2022 MacBook Air (our pick for most users&#8217; basic needs) and the 2022 14-inch MacBook Pro (our pick for developers, engineers, and researchers) in terms of performance.  While we feel the Air and 14-inch Pro are best for their target demos, the value of this deal may just tip the scales a bit further for the 13-inch Pro which we feel strikes balance between the two.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s earned a couple of spots in our featured deals list with a $50 discount on the Galaxy Watch 5 ($250), and a modest discount on the T7 rugged portable SSD ($100).  The Galaxy Watch 5 currently represents the best smartwatch available for Android users, particularly those with Samsung devices.  With sensors for blood oxygen, heart rate, and ECG monitoring, it&#8217;s a very capable fitness companion, although ECG monitoring does require a paired Samsung phone.  After teaming up with Google to create one unified wearable OS on the Galaxy Watch 4, third-party app compatibility was greatly improved (although still nowhere near the compatibility and Apple Watch enjoys) and the OS is as smooth as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s well-rounded QN85B 85-inch 4K QLED TV (2022) is also on sale at the lowest price we&#8217;ve ever tracked ($400 off).  The $2,598 TV represents a strong value at its size.  It performs well for gaming with HDMI 2.1 on all ports and refresh rates to match.  Competent HDR performance and glare reduction make it a great choice for movie watching, as well.  If you&#8217;re looking for something smaller with comparable performance, LG&#8217;s C2 48-inch OLED TV (2022) is a respectable contender in the mid-size range.  Right now, the C2 is on sale for $1,197 ($220 off) with an additional $100 gift card to sweeten the deal.  TCL&#8217;s budget-conscious 5 Series 65-inch TV is also on sale for $550 (typically $700).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\">\n    <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span>    <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Heading off video game deals, we have a $20 discount that brings Super Smash Bros.
