Best Prime Day Deals Samsung Deals
This story is part of the Digital Trends Amazon Prime Day Coverage 2024

The Walmart Rollback Sale is here, just in time to go up against the Amazon Early Access Sale, which is being referred to as the October Prime Day and starts tomorrow. While the Prime Day deals on offer the second time around this year will surely generate a lot of interest, Walmart will try to draw shoppers away from Amazon with its own price cuts for devices such as laptops, TVs, smartwatches, and much more.

Walmart rolled out all kinds of discounts across the different product categories, so it may get overwhelming if you’re going to take a look around. To help you out, we’ve gathered five of the best deals in this year’s edition of the Walmart Rollback Sale. You’re going to want to act fast if there’s an offer that catches your eye though, as we’re not sure how long it will be available.

If you just need a laptop for basic functions, or for your child’s schoolwork, then the HP 11.6-inch Chromebook may be the device for you. Chromebooks are usually cheaper than Windows-based laptops because they use low-end components, but they’re still quick and snappy because their operating system, Google’s Chrome OS, depends on web-based apps instead of installed software. The HP 11.6-inch Chromebook isn’t as feature-packed as the best Chromebooks, but it’s more than enough for everyday tasks with its AMD A4 processor, integrated AMD Radeon R4 Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. The Chromebook also comes with an 11.6-inch HD screen and a 10-hour battery life.

Gateway 14.1-inch Ultra Slim Notebook — $127, was $199

It also comes with a 14.1-inch Full HD display, a 64GB eMMC for storage with Windows 10 Home in S mode pre-installed, and up to 8.5 hours of battery life on a single charge. Every purchase of the laptop comes with a carrying case, so you don’t have to worry about any physical damage when you have it with you while on the go. It may not have the specifications and features of the best laptops, but the Gateway 14.1-inch Ultra Slim Notebook is a reliable device that will keep up with your daily tasks.

Between the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7, the latest model of Apple’s wearable device is the better purchase because of its Low Power mode that doubles battery life, and offers updated sensors and crash detection.
