The Best Buy Presidents' Day sale is officially live. The official sale runs through Feb. 16, meaning you can grab discounts on Apple, Sony, and Samsung right now.

A quick heads-up: Amazon is matching most of these prices, so your decision really comes down to shipping speed and preference. I combed through the listings to find the best deals on TVs, laptops, and headphones you can shop now.

Insignia is Best Buy’s house brand, and while people love to hate on generic labels, the 55-inch Insignia Class F50 Series has a pretty good track record. It's known for being budget-friendly, but it doesn't lack in performance. I'm considering buying this for my living room because the price is right and it hits all the specs I want, like DTS Virtual-X audio and Fire TV integration. It currently holds a 4.7-star rating across thousands of reviews on Best Buy and Amazon, proving that you don't need a premium nameplate to get a reliable, wall-mountable smart TV.

The Yoga 7i gives you enough screen real estate for multitasking while also being portable enough to throw in your bag, and the 360-degree hinge lets you prop it up for movies without the keyboard getting in the way. At $400 off, the specs are hard to beat: you get the snappy Intel Core Ultra 7 and a 1TB SSD, which is double the storage you typically see in this price bracket. It's a little heavy to use as a handheld tablet for long, but as a flexible workstation, it’s solid.

There's a reason we named these the "Best AirPods" in our 2026 headphone roundup. Apple claims the noise cancellation is twice as powerful as the previous generation, and our testing backs that up — reviewer Adam Doud found they could silence a crowded room instantly. They also feature a new built-in heart rate monitor and live translation, making them a major functional upgrade over the Pro 2. At $40 off, they're an easy buy.

One of my favorite air purifiers is on sale for a record-low price ahead of spring pollen season

Mashable - 4 hours 45 min ago

SAVE $100: The Levoit Sprout air purifier is on sale at Amazon for $179.99, down from the list price of $279.99. That's a 36% discount that matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

$279.99 Save $100   Get Deal

We're still dealing with chilly temps, but in just a few weeks, we'll push the clocks forward one hour and spring will be well on its way. The flowers are pretty, but the pollen that comes with spring season can be a major issue. Instead of dealing with the sniffles and itchy eyes, equip your home with a worthy air purifier. One of Mashable's favorite models is on a major sale during Amazon's Presidents' Day sale event.

As of Feb. 16, the Levoit Sprout air purifier is on sale at Amazon for $179.99, marked down from the list price of $279.99. That's a 36% discount that matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

If you deal with allergies from pollen or pets or you live in an area that's prone to wildfire smoke, you know how important purifying indoor air can be for overall health. When I was testing the best air purifiers for smoke, I ran into the Levoit Sprout and it quickly became one of my very favorite models. I still use it daily.

The Levoit Sprout comes with features that are unique to this specific model that no other brand has replicated. It has a built-in nightlight, a white-noise machine, and it gives highly detailed air-quality metrics both on the air purifier itself and in the app. All of these features easily make it worth the slightly higher price point.

The white-noise feature and nightlight make the Levoit Sprout great for a kids' room or the nursery, but I love it for myself. The nightlight's range of color brightness and warmth are perfect for finding the best hue for evening reading on my Kobo before bed.

SEE ALSO: The best Presidents' Day mattress deals — save up to 60% on mattresses, beds, sheets, and pillows

In terms of metrics, the Levoit Sprout can display the room's AQI on the unit itself. But one of my favorite aspects is heading into the app to see the CO2 level, temperature, humidity, and TVOC levels. These in-depth metrics are so useful to have and incredibly rare to get from an air purifier. As you'd want with an air purifier, the Sprout uses a HEPA filter that's said to capture 99.9% of particles that could be irritants like fine dust, pet dander, and pollen.

While this versatile model is on sale, upgrade to the Levoit Sprout. It's a terrific bedside model for any bedroom and it'll be excellent to have ahead of pollen season.

Grab the EcoFlow River 2 Max portable power station for its best price ever

Mashable - 4 hours 49 min ago

SAVE $200: As of Feb. 16, the EcoFlow River 2 Max portable power station is on sale for just $268.98 at Amazon. That's 43% off its list price and its lowest price on record.

$469 Save $200.02   Get Deal

After a recent ice storm knocked out my power for days in sub-zero temperatures, I cannot recommend a portable power station enough. Not only can these devices keep your essentials charged up in emergencies, but many can even run a low-wattage space heater or a heated blanket to keep you warm. In a time where unpredictable weather has become the norm, these movable power sources can really be a lifesaver. They're not the cheapest investments, though, so when you find a deal — like this EcoFlow River 2 Max discount at Amazon — it's definitely worth grabbing.

As of Feb. 16, the EcoFlow River 2 Max portable power station is on sale for just $268.98 at Amazon. That's 43% or $200 off its list price of $469 and its lowest price on record.

Lightweight at just over 13 pounds and about the size of an air fryer, the River 2 Max is the definition of portable. It packs four AC outlets, one USB-C port, three USB-A ports, two DC outlets, and one cart outlet. With an output of up to 1000W, you can run up to 11 different gadgets at once. It recharges in just an hour through an AC outlet or about 2.3 hours via solar panels, but you'll have to grab those separately.

Because of its impressive power in a small package, the EcoFlow River 2 Max also makes a great companion for camping. Use it to keep your gear powered up on off-grid adventures, then bring it home for use as an emergency backup. We love a double duty device.

This limited-time offer likely won't be around for long, so add it to your cart ASAP if you want to score it for its lowest price ever.

Thousands of people had trouble loading X this morning.

On Downdetector, reports of problems with X spiked to nearly 40,000 at 8:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. ET on Monday morning. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Ziff Davis, the same parent company as Mashable.) Comments popped up by the dozens on Downdetector as well, as users commiserated with each other.

Save up to 48% on two premium Garmin smartwatches at Amazon

Mashable - 5 hours 11 min ago

SAVE UP TO $476: As of Feb. 16, the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) smartwatch is on sale for $523.60 at Amazon. That's a savings of 48% and its lowest price on record. For a cheaper alternative, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar smartwatch is also on sale at Amazon for just $296.10 — a savings of 34%.

When it comes to smartwatches, Garmin always tops the list in terms of the best battery life. The brand's many watch options can last for over a week without needing a recharge — something Apple still can't seem to figure out. If you're looking for a smartwatch that can accompany your health and fitness journey without constantly needing to be plugged in, Garmin is the way to go.

For Presidents' Day, two of Garmin's most impressive smartwatches are on sale for up to 48% off at Amazon. First up, the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) is down to $523.60 from $999.99. That's over $476 off and its best price on record. If that's still out of your price range, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is also on sale for just $296.10 at Amazon. That's 34% or over $153 off its list price.

Rocking a shiny AMOLED display with a scratch-resistant sapphire lens and titanium bezel, the sleek epix Pro is built for fitness fanatics. It goes way beyond just tracking your heart rate and caloric burn; it's packed with advanced features that track pulse oxygen levels, stress, body battery, respiration, recovery time, real-time endurance, running pace, heart rate variability, and much more. There's even a built-in flashlight for late-night or early-morning training. It'll last you up to 10 days in smartwatch mode.

If the epix Pro is out of your price range, the Instinct 2X Solar is also an excellent fitness tracker option that's packed with features. It tracks many of the same metrics and also includes a built-in flashlight. Where it differs is its solar-powered display. When you expose the Instinct 2X Solar to three hours of direct sunlight per day, you'll essentially get unlimited battery life.

One thing to note: Both of these discounts are Lightning deals at Amazon, which means you'll have to grab them before the progress bar at the top of the page reaches 100. Or before the timer runs out, whichever comes first.

Upgrade to 4K for under $280 with this Presidents Day markdown

Mashable - 5 hours 20 min ago

SAVE 39%: As of Feb. 16, you can get the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series for $279.99, down from $459.99, at Amazon. That's a 39% discount or $180 savings. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this TV.

Presidents' Day sales are famous for discounting two specific things: mattresses and TVs. Honestly, I’d argue the deals on these items are often better now than on Black Friday, and Amazon is leaning hard into the trend by slashing prices on its own tech.

If you’re looking to replace an aging living room TV or just want a smart hub that doubles as a display, there are tons of options right now. As of Feb. 16, you can get the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series for $279.99, down from $459.99, at Amazon. That’s a 39% discount of $180.

SEE ALSO: The best Presidents' Day TV deals: Save big on TCL, Samsung, Hisense, and more

The 4-Series offers a 4K UHD picture with HDR10+ support, meaning your movies and shows will look significantly more vibrant than on standard HD screens. You’ll also get an Alexa Voice Remote to access apps just by asking. If you’re a fan of "The Frame" aesthetic, this TV features an "Ambient Experience" that transforms the black display into artwork or photos when it's idle.

If $280 is still a stretch (totally get it!), I actually bought the Insignia 55-inch Class F50 Series for $179.99 Friday, which IMO was a total steal. I even grabbed a matching soundbar for just $35. I bought them both at Best Buy, but Amazon is matching most of these prices, so you can shop wherever is most convenient.

If you've been watching the Winter Olympics, you've been catching incredible drone footage. How we watched these sports before drones is a mystery, but we're thankful for the front-row seat from our living rooms. If you're interested in becoming a pro drone pilot yourself, there's a nice deal in store at Amazon on Presidents' Day.

As of Feb. 16, the DJI Flip drone with RC 2 is on sale for $539 at Amazon, marked down from the standard price of $639. That works out to a savings of $100 from a 16% discount. It's also the lowest we've ever spotted at Amazon.

Whether you've been flying drones for the last decade or are looking for your first model, DJI has you covered. The Flip drone with RC 2 is a solid model for both novice and pro drone pilots. It comes packed with DJI features like the ability for the drone to take off from your palm, a 31-minute flight time, and a slick screen on the RC 2.

You'll be getting 4K footage with the DJI Flip and the design features full-coverage propeller guards for better protection. All four propellers and guards neatly fold together for better transportation ability.

The DJI Flip also comes with creative additions like the ability to film in slow-motion 4K at 100fps and color grading raw footage. Plus, you get ultra-long range of a 13 kilometer video transmission distance. The return-to-home function is also excellent, giving you peace of mind that the Flip will make it back to you.

While it's still at a record-low price of $100 off, upgrade your content game with the DJI Flip with RC 2. You'll be able to capture 4K footage of family gathering, outdoor adventures, and upcoming summer travels.

Apple to host a special experience on March 4. What might happen.

Mashable - 5 hours 40 min ago

Notable Apple fans and publications have begun receiving invites to a "special Apple experience" in New York, London, and Shanghai.

The experience is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET on March 4, 9to5Mac reports. The invite (posted on social media) doesn't contain any more details than that, but as is usually the case with cryptic messages from Apple, people have already started speculating what it all means.

SEE ALSO: Apple Vision Pro finally gets an official YouTube app

The invite features the Apple logo with a yellow, green, and blue gradient, prompting one Redditor to guess that these will be the new MacBook colors. Meanwhile, according to MacRumors, Apple is expected to announce several products soon, including the iPhone 17e, MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, eighth-generation iPad Air, twelfth-generation iPad, and more.

The announcement states that it will be an "experience," not an event, and as of this publication, it's not listed on the official Apple event page. The only certainty is that more rumors will crop up between now and March 4.

OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger joins OpenAI

Mashable - 6 hours 13 min ago

The founder of viral AI assistant OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot and Clawdbot, is now joining OpenAI. The recent, quick name change may have been a hint.

Developer Peter Steinberger made the announcement on his website on Friday (which happened to be Valentine's Day — hard launch?). He began by saying that the last month was a "whirlwind" due to the waves that Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw made, and many opportunities opened up to him.

SEE ALSO: ChatGPT caricature trend: What to do if OpenAI clearly knows too much

While OpenClaw could become a huge company, Steinberger wrote, it's not exciting for him as a builder at heart. He "did the whole creating-a-company game already," he wrote, presumably talking about his document software company, Nutrient (formerly PSPDFKit).

So, he's onto his next mission: "to build an agent that even my mum can use."

"What I want is to change the world, not build a large company and teaming up with OpenAI is the fastest way to bring this to everyone," he continued.

Steinberger noted that it's important to him that OpenClaw remain open source and hopes to make the project a foundation. OpenAI will sponsor OpenClaw and has made "strong commitments," but Steinberger didn't divulge what those commitments are.

The news comes at a time when OpenAI is retiring its popular, sycophantic GPT-4o and starting to test ads.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
