July 4 does not have the power of Black Friday or the holiday season, but there are many discounts on items that are not grills and garden furniture. Retailers like Best Buy, Target, Amazon and even eBay are offering special offers to tempt you with phones, laptops, smart home devices and more.
These are the best bargains I found, all available online, for July 4 of this year.
iPhone X, iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus: $ 100 gift card from Target with purchase
Store: Target
IPhones offers, especially the iPhone X, are hard to come by, but for this July 4 Target offers a $ 100 gift card when you buy one and already had a previous model or a new service line.
iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus: a maximum discount of US $ 200
Store: Best Buy
If you can be satisfied with "only" an iPhone 8, Best Buy offers a maximum discount of US $ 200, depending on the phone number and settings, when you purchase and activate a monthly payment plan. And yes, the offer includes the special edition in red.
Apple MacBook Pro 15 inches (2015) for US $ 1,500 (saves US $ 500)
Store: Best Buy
If you are one of the many followers of the MacBook that did not like the new touch bar, the lack of HDMI and the new models only have USB-C, this model of a few years ago and with ports of all kinds could be Perfect. With a Core i7 processor, 16 GB of memory and a 256 GB HDD hard drive, you will not feel that time has passed.
Best Buy also has offers on new MacBooks with a maximum discount of $ 200.
Microsoft Surface Pro + Cover Type Signature Platinum for US $ 799 (saves US $ 360)
Store: Microsoft.com
Are not you a fan of MacBooks? The hybrid Microsoft Surface Pro, with a battery that lasts all day, an attractive screen, 8 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SSD and the seventh generation of the Intel Core i5 processor has a great discount when you buy this cover as well.
Dell Inspiron 15 5000 for US $ 449 (saves US $ 180)
Store: Dell.com
This Dell 15-inch model, which is not super slim or has a touch screen, has a good discount for July 4th. It handles basic tasks without any problem with a Core i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM, and the standard 1 TB hard drive is enough.
Dell also offers a 17-inch version for US $ 599, a discount of US $ 200.
Apple Watch Series 1 for US $ 159 with free extra strap (saves US $ 139)
Store: Wal-Mart
Another good offer in an Apple product a few years ago. The Apple Watch Series 1 has been replaced by new versions, but that does not mean it is not yet one of the best smart watches on the market. The price includes a free additional strap.
Amazon Tap: US $ 85 (saves US $ 45)
Store: Amazon
The big sale of Amazon Prime Day is expected later this month, but the colossus of Internet sales offers some discounts on its own products for July 4, such as the portable Tap speaker, which comes with Bluetooth and Alexa.
Amazon Echo Show for US $ 130 (saves US $ 100)
Store: Amazon
You received a warm review on CNET, you will not be able to watch YouTube and the Amazon Fire tablet can do almost the same for less money. Perhaps this is the reason why Amazon lowered the price of the Echo Show. Despite your problems, if you ever wanted a screen on your Alexa speaker, this is a very interesting deal for Prime members.
Amazon Fire TV Cube + Cloud security camera for US $ 200 (saves US $ 40)
Store: Amazon
This offer includes two US $ 120 devices: the Amazon Fire TV Cube, with Alexa and Cloud Cam, with savings. If this offer does not appeal to you, wait for the first day.
Roku TV Badge 39 inches for US $ 200 (saves US $ 80)
Store: Best Buy
CNET's favorite smart TV system is from Roku, and this is a spectacular price for a perfect 1080p television for the bedroom. We have not reviewed it yet, but we hope it has a good image quality, similar to the TCL S305 series, but at a better price.
Polk Omni S6 Horn for US $ 135 (saves US $ 215)
Store: Woot
Of course, you need the voice command function that is included in the most expensive speakers, such as Sonos One, but if what you are most interested in is the quality of the sound, the S2 has what you are looking for. We really liked the sound of the S2 and you can expect much more energy from its big brother, the S6.
Bragi The Headphone for US $ 90 (saves US $ 60)
Store: Best Buy
These wireless headphones cost much less than Apple's and are more comfortable. The sound is "regular", according to our review, but this discount could make it worthwhile.
Four Philips Hue spotlights + basic kit for US $ 140 (saves US $ 60)
Store: eBay
eBay has in stock some attractive items, like this kit with four white and colored spotlights, plus the necessary control center, for a substantial discount.
Smart doorbell Nest Hello + Google Home Mini for US $ 199 (saves US $ 80)

Best known for its thermostats, Nest also sells security cameras, and now integrated doorbells with camera. This company, owned by Google, is offering a discount of US $ 30 on the Hello price and includes a free Home Mini, which costs US $ 50.
