The holiday shopping season is reaching the home stretch, but we’re here to help if you’re looking for a good deal on a last-minute tech gift. The Xbox Series X, for one, is back on sale at several retailers. Walmart has the game console down to an all-time low of $349, but if stock runs dry there, you can still grab it for $399 at Microsoft, Amazon and other stores. Beyond that, a four-pack of Apple’s AirTag trackers is $19 off, the latest AirPods Pro are $50 off and a number of Sonos devices are discounted as part of a big holiday sale. We’re also seeing price drops on recommended gaming laptops, MacBooks, tablets, microSD cards and more. Here are the best deals from this week that you can still buy today. Just be aware that not everything may ship in time for Christmas.

Xbox Series X + Diablo IV Bundle
This bundle pairs Microsoft’s top-end Xbox with a copy of the popular action-RPG Diablo IV. Note that Walmart has had the console alone for $349, though that deal appears to be going in and out of stock.
The Xbox Series X is available for $349 at Walmart at the time of writing, though stock appears to be spotty. If that deal runs out for good, a bundle that pairs the beefy game console with the action-RPG Diablo IV is down to $399 at Microsoft. That’s $160 less than the usual cost of buying each separately. Amazon, GameStop and others have the console alone for $399 as well. While the Series X remains a bit light on must-play exclusives, the Xbox library includes a diverse collection of games we like, from blockbusters like Forza Horizon 5 to quirkier hits like Hi-Fi Rush to smaller-scale gems like Pentiment. The hardware itself is powerful enough to play games at a steady 4K/60 fps, with some titles capable of reaching higher frame rates. Unlike the less powerful Xbox Series S — which is $60 off itself — it also includes a disc drive. There’s at least some chance we see a Series X refresh in 2024, but the current machine is an easier sell when it’s discounted to this extent.

Apple AirTags (4-pack)
This deal matches the Black Friday price for a bundle of Apple’s Bluetooth trackers.
$80 at AmazonExplore More Buying Options$80 at Walmart
A four-pack of Apple’s AirTags is back down to $80 at Amazon, Walmart and other retailers. That’s about $9 off its usual street price and $19 less than buying from Apple directly. The AirTag is the “best for iPhones” pick in our Bluetooth tracker buying guide, as its ultra-wideband wireless tech and ability to tap into Apple’s Find My device network make it particularly convenient for locating lost items. Its battery is easily replaceable, too, plus it’s water-resistant. It lacks any built-in adhesive or keyring hole, however, so you’ll need to buy an extra accessory if you want to attach it to an item.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
While not an all-time low, this is still a solid discount on Apple’s noise-canceling wireless earphones.
$200 at AmazonExplore More Buying Options$200 at Walmart
The USB-C version of Apple’s AirPods Pro is once again on sale for $200 at Amazon and Best Buy. We saw these noise-canceling earphones fall $10 cheaper during Black Friday, but this is still $20 below their average street price and $49 below Apple’s list price. The AirPods Pro continues to offer effective active noise cancellation, pleasingly warm sound and a host of Apple-device-specific conveniences, which is why they’re the “best for iOS” pick in our guide to the best wireless earbuds. Note, however, that Apple started selling this model’s USB-C charging case on its own earlier this week, so if you’re sitting on a Lightning-based pair and want to make the conversion, you can now do so without having to buy a whole new set.
$100 Apple gift card + $10 Amazon credit
Amazon says this bonus credit will apply to your account within 24 hours of your purchase, and that it can only be used toward products shipped and sold by Amazon.com.
Save $10 with code$100 at Target
You can get a $10 Amazon.com credit for no extra cost when you buy a digital Apple gift card worth $100 or more. Just use the code HOLAPP at checkout. If you’d rather shop at Target, that retailer is offering a $10 Target gift card alongside the same purchase until December 16. As a refresher, you can put an Apple gift card toward services like Apple Music and iCloud, App Store credit and purchases at Apple.com or Apple retail stores. We see promos like this periodically, but any bit of bonus money should be welcome if you often shop at these stores anyway.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2)
This $100 discount comes as part of a larger sale on Sonos soundbars, smart speakers and home theater gear. Most of the offers will run through December 24.
Sonos is running a holiday sale that brings many of its smart speakers, soundbars and home theater devices back to the prices we saw on Black Friday. The flagship Sonos Arc soundbar is $180 off at $719, for one, while the mid-range Sonos Beam and budget-level Sonos Ray are down to $399 and $223, respectively. All three are picks in our soundbar buying guide. Beyond that, the Sonos Era 100 is $50 off at $199 — with a
