Walmart tech deals: Score AirPods for $89, a 32-inch smart TV for $97 and more

There's a reason AirPods always sell out: They're seriously awesome. Sure, everyone might rave about AirPods Pro, but those cost a pretty penny. These second-generation AirPods provide a comparable level of sound, are easy to use and just plain look great. What's more, their charging case slips easily into a pocket or purse (you might even forget it's in there!), and each charge delivers three hours of audio heaven. Forty bucks off a pair of these stellar buds is music to our ears too. 

TCL sets are known for offering a balance of affordability and quality, and if your teen has been begging for a TV in their room every day for the past year, they’ll love this 32-incher ... and you’ll love the price: It’s $63 cheaper than a similar TCL Roku TV on Amazon. This one also uses the ultra-simple Roku smart TV interface, which offers the full slate of streaming apps. Yes, the kids can play endless YouTube videos on a bigger screen in their room, but its size also makes it perfect for the kitchen, den, even the RV. Access your fave subscription streaming services or check out one of the many totally free services on offer, like Tubi. 

With 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage and a free one-year subscription to Office 365, this laptop is ideal for everyday use. And a 14-inch screen, a slim profile and a weight of only a few pounds make it ideal for stuffing into a backpack or shoulder bag, for work on the go.

If you're only using your TV speakers, you're probably missing out on the full home entertainment experience. TVs tend to broadcast sound from the back, so not only are you getting reflected audio, but it's just not as full as it could be. This Topvision soundbar is the solution you didn't know you were looking for. It truly creates a 3D soundscape that makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action. 

There’s nothing like a movie night under the stars, but you probably never imagined you could get a versatile portable projector for just $100. Simply set up a screen (even a light-colored wall or white sheet will do), connect a source like your laptop or phone, either via cable or wirelessly, and project an image as big as 200 inches. Those Minions never looked so good! It’s your own drive-in theater at home, a great way to cap off a fall barbecue. Alternately, bring the man cave outdoors and invite the neighbors over for some prime-time football. Of course, it works inside too — you'll just need a dark room or an after-sunset start time.

Ready to do some Apple picking? You don't even have to drive to the orchard — just head over to Walmart and grab this baby while it's on sale. The 2021 9th Gen iPad boasts a 10.2" Retina display, front and back cameras and up to 10 hours of battery life. If you've been meaning to upgrade from your rusty ol' tablet, it would be wise to act quickly.

Plug this baby into the HDMI port of any TV and unlock the intuitive Roku interface for accessing streaming content, including live channels and a host of Roku originals. A perfect stocking stuffer, save a fiver off the price now. Dorm residents will especially love Headphone mode for private listening while not disturbing their roommate.

A MacBook Air for well under $700? Someone pinch us. This laptop is just the right size and weight for everyday use. Like all Apple products, the battery life is impeccable, with up to 18 hours of use on a single charge. It also sports Apple's iconic Retina display, making images come to life like no other computer we've seen.

We can't get over the sale price ($378!) on this shiny 65-inch set from Vizio. The vibrant 4K picture quality is top-notch, and it also includes Dolby Vision HDR, which boasts incredible brightness. In addition to its crisp, clear display, this set comes with the brand's SmartCast, which streams thousands of movies and shows.

A curved monitor makes the gaming experience so much cooler and more immersive, not to mention all the fun you can have viewing videos and split screens while "working." This HD screen is as big as a small TV, and the tech smarts inside ensure that the colors in your favorite gaming title look true-to-life, while the picture can keep up with fast-moving action sans blurring. Planning to play for hours? The monitor can tilt for the most ergonomic viewing angle, whether you’re laser-focused in your gaming chair or lazing back on the couch.

MagSafe charging equipment is the absolute best, offering convenient power top-offs to compatible iPhones sans cords. This 5,000 mAh option, available for an insanely good price right now, can fully recharge most phones at least once before needing a recharge itself. Need to give your smartwatch, earbuds or another phone (without wireless charging) a battery boost too? A USB-C charging port can juice up a second device via cable, even both at the same time. We haven’t reviewed this particular model, but Engadget named a similar pack from Baseus among the best power banks you can buy.

With 4K resolution, the easy-to-use Tizen operating system and a stunning picture no matter the lighting condition, this 65-inch Samsung TV is a solid upgrade for the living room to replace that old flat screen you’ve been hanging onto for the last decade. One recent buyer grabbed this TV for their family for Christmas and is pleased with the “sharp and clear” picture, while another praises the built-in speakers for great out-of-the-box sound. With the money you save, you might want to add a Samsung Q series soundbar to create an even more immersive experience.

Never get stuck on the road or in the parking lot again desperately hoping someone has a set of jumper cables and is willing to help. Just pull this out of your trunk. Not only is it an essential device for any ride, it has separate USB-C ports to recharge your phone if you find yourself stranded. A built-in LED light has flashlight, SOS, and strobe modes. One happy Walmart reviewer called this a “great alternative to the old-school jumper cables” that’s also safer. “Everyone should have one in their vehicle.” 

A Walmart exclusive, this adorable little toy will put a smile on any Star Wars fan’s face. Suitable for kids 4 and up (you’re getting this for your 30+-year-old brother, aren’t you?) Vader talks when you press his head. Like an ominous Magic 8-Ball, he’ll advise of your fate, choosing from 40 unique responses like “It is your destiny.” His facial expressions even change along with his comments. Don’t worry; two AA batteries come in the box so you can start consulting with Vader right away.

It comes with the ultra-simple fan favorite Roku smart TV platform that makes accessing all your streaming service subscriptions seamless. You can even use the Roku app on your phone to control the TV if the remote ends up missing for the umpteenth time. While there aren’t reviews for this sized TV yet, other Onn. Roku TVs garner amazing reviews, like the smaller 65-inch model with similar specs that has more than 20,000 reviews and a 4.4-star rating.

Remember the days when you would snap photos with an instant camera, proudly take the roll of film to the drug store and wait a week (sometimes even just an hour!) to see the prints?
