Prime Day is just as much about competing retailers like Best Buy as it is about Amazon. During Prime Day, competitors offer deals that run alongside Amazon’s to lure in bargain shoppers.
This year, we expect Best Buy to put its best anti-Prime Day deals forward during Amazon’s big savings bonanza. In fact, the big-box retailer appears to be testing the waters with aggressive early Memorial Day discounts.
For example, Best Buy currently has the 15-inch model HP Envy x360 2-in-1 Laptop on sale for $709.99. Usually, you’d expect to shell out $810 for this machine, so that’s $100 in savings. By comparison, it’s $4 cheaper than Amazon‘s current asking price.
The Editor’s Choice HP Envy x360 packs a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) touchscreen, a 2.3-GHz Ryzen 5 4500U 6-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. With its 360-degree hinge design, it easily converts from a laptop into stand, tent, and tablet mode as needed.
In the spirit of competition, Best Buy may revive this deal during Prime Day to take away some of Amazon’s shine. Given that Prime Day could arrive as early as June, the deals we’re seeing right now return next month.
That said, here are some of our deal predictions for Best Buy’s anti-Prime Day sale. Be sure to follow our Amazon Prime Day 2021 hub for this year’s best Prime Day deals.
