The portability of a laptop is nice and all, but oftentimes, the tradeoff is a smaller screen that can feel cramped if you’ve got a lot of tabs open. Thankfully, there are laptops like Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 Edge, which offers a 16-inch display in a thin and lightweight package. It typically starts at $1,499.99, but right now, Best Buy is selling it with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for just $999.99 ($450 off), which is a new all-time low price. If you prefer a slightly smaller display, the 14-inch model is also on sale for $899.99 ($450 off).

We were struck by how stunning the Galaxy Book4 Edge is. Along with being spacious, the laptop boasts a lovely OLED display that makes colors pop, while its chassis is beautiful. The screen also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and is powerful enough for the average consumer.

Granted, its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset didn’t quite compare to rivals like the AMD-powered Asus Zenbook S 16 on graphics performance, but the laptop’s still capable of handling multiple apps and letting you multitask with ease. Plus, you likely won’t need to worry about battery life, as it can last a little over 14 hours on a single charge — more than enough to get you through the average work or school day.

A few more deals to kickstart the weekend

• The Meross Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener is on sale for $25.79 (about $5 off) from Amazon, which is one of its better prices to date. The adapter is one of my colleague Wes Davis’ favorite smart home devices because it adds smarts to a wide range of garage door models and is easy to install. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings, in case you want to control your garage door with your voice instead of a smartphone.
• Now through 12:59AM on October 1st, the Beats Fit Pro are down to their best price of $139.95 ($50 off) from Woot in dark gray and purple. The noise-canceling earbuds are the best on the market for running, with fins that help the buds firmly stick in your ears during vigorous workouts. They also sport an IPX4 rating for water resistance, which is robust enough that the earbuds can withstand sweaty outdoor runs. And, of course, they deliver excellent sound quality, with support for dynamic head tracking for spatial audio if you’re an iPhone owner and other Apple features like auto device switching.

• If you’re already starting to hunt for fun Halloween decorations, right now, you can preorder a Jack Skellington-themed fifth-gen Echo Dot bundle from Amazon for $62.98 ($27 off) ahead of its release date on October 8th. Designed to look like the skeleton from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, the mouth even lights up when you make requests. Despite its spooky shell, though, it’s still an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that delivers richer sound than the cheaper Echo Pop. It also can be used as an Eero mesh network Wi-Fi extender, while the ultrasound motion detector inside can detect when you enter a room. Read our fifth-gen Echo Dot review.
