Retailers are offering significant discounts on a variety of gadgets and tech products ahead of Presidents Day, according to The Verge. Deals have been slow since the holidays, but with Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl recently passed, and Presidents Day this weekend, consumers can now find strong discounts across several categories.
The Verge reported that they had rounded up "the 55 best Presidents Day deals" on items such as earbuds, speakers, TVs, and smart home tech. Meanwhile, gaming enthusiasts can look forward to the new Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse, which features analog sensors and haptics, as noted by The Verge. This mouse, priced at $179.99, is designed to register clicks faster than traditional microswitches.
In the realm of smartphones, Wired provided insights into the best Samsung Galaxy phones available. The publication highlighted the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra as top choices, along with the Galaxy Z Fold7 for those seeking a folding phone and the Galaxy A26 for budget-conscious consumers. Wired noted that Samsung Galaxy phones are a major competitor to the iPhone in the US market.
However, Wired also cautioned readers about the potential dangers of Google's AI Overviews. These AI-generated summaries, which are replacing traditional search results, can contain errors and even promote scams. According to Wired, these AI answers are synthesized from information scraped from the web and can be unreliable.
For those looking to upgrade their laptops, Wired also provided a guide to the best Windows laptops. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 13.8-inch (7th Edition) was highlighted as the best overall, while the Dell XPS 14 (2026) was recommended for upgrades. The Dell 14 Plus was noted as a good option for those seeking a Windows laptop under $1,000, and the Asus Zenbook A14 was recommended for portability. Wired noted that it is time to buy a new laptop to upgrade to Windows 11, now that Microsoft doesn't support Windows 10 anymore.
