The best October Prime Day deals at Walmart

The latest Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker is one of the best deals you can get during Walmart’s event. Amazon is the retailer to beat when it comes to offering deals to compete with Amazon’s October Prime Day event. Walmart has proven to be a contender this year, matching the prices on several discounts and marking down many other tech products that we think you’ll like. Its sale event, simply called “Walmart Deals,” runs through Sunday, October 12, giving you plenty of time to save — no membership required. There are great deals below on gaming products, 4K TVs, laptops, even compact electric tire pumps, and more.Whether you’re trying to shop less at Amazon or you just want to see what other retailers are offering in the run-up to the holidays, we’ve rounded up the best competing Prime Day deals you can currently grab at Walmart. We’re on the hunt this week for noteworthy deals to add to this post.

55-inch LG B4 OLED TV

While not the latest, biggest, or greatest OLED around (cinephiles are a discerning bunch), LG’s B4 is a fantastic value at under $800. The 55-inch version has a 120Hz screen, excellent per-pixel lighting, and four HDMI 2.1 ports.

$1499.99 $798 at Walmart

The CMF Buds Pro 2, which launched last summer for $59, are down to $47 at Walmart. The feature-packed earbuds support hybrid active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and — most delightfully — come with a charging case equipped with a customizable dial. “A dial for what?,” you might ask? Well, you can customize it to adjust volume, manage media playback, activate a voice a**istant, or mute the mic while on a video call. The Pro 2 come from Nothing, makers of the Nothing Phone and other minimalist devices.
Here’s another great CMF deal that’s perfect for anyone looking for a sleek smartwatch for their iPhone or Android phone, one priced under $50. The CMF Watch Pro 2 comes right under the wire at $49 (was $69) at Walmart. It’s a remarkable price considering the smartwatch features a 1.32-inch OLED screen, built-in GPS, and a replaceable bezel to suit your style.

Hoto Air Pump Pocket

Hoto is known for its nifty electric screwdrivers, but it also offers a range of essential tech upgrades for other needs. Its 150PSI electric air pump is a great gadget to buy, especially when it’s available at a discount.

Where to Buy:

$59.99 $49.99 at Walmart

Sony’s DualSense Wireless Controller is a must-have if you own a PlayStation 5, but it’s also a great companion if you have a PC, Steam Deck, or a different Windows-powered gaming handheld. Whichever platform(s) you plan to use it on, you can save on both the white and starlight blue models at Walmart. Those usually sell for $74.88, but right now you can snag either for around $66. We’ve seen slightly cheaper prices before, but it’s been a while since there’s been any kind of discount.

Lenovo’s Legion 5 gaming laptop seems like a great value now that it’s on sale for $949 (about $300 off) at Walmart. It has specs that I’m surprised to find in a sub-$1,000 machine, including a 15.1-inch OLED screen, a capable AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, and Nvidia’s RTX 5060 graphics chip. It features 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD, too, both of which are user-upgradeable.

Sony PlayStation 5 Pro

Consoles are getting more expensive due to tariffs, but Walmart is offering a fantastic deal on the newer PlayStation 5 Pro. The console itself typically sells for $749, but you can currently get a bundle that contains a PS5 Pro and an extra DualSense controller for just $20 more.

Where to Buy:

$825 $769.99 at Walmart (w/ extra controller)
$749 at Best Buy
$749 at Target

Nex Playground

What if the dream of Microsoft’s Kinect lived on? It does in the Nex Playground, an all-in-one, motion-controlled console filled with kid-friendly games. Exhaust and entertain your little ones. You’re welcome.

Where to Buy:

$249 $199 at Walmart

Someone built a fully motorized Lego WALL-E controlled by a PS4 controller, complete with a built-in taser

One of the coolest things people who build stuff can do is bring something from fiction into reality. We've seen plenty of Pip-Boys and even a fully 3D-printed wearable suit of Doomguy's armor that used in-game assets for extra accuracy. One recurring trend is when people remake robots from movies...

I spent weeks chasing a DisplayPort problem that HDMI solved in seconds

DisplayPort has largely been the primary cable PC enthusiasts reach for, and for good reason. It has better bandwidth than the HDMI of its era, native VRR before HDMI caught up, and there's no royalty funny business or weird treatment of Linux drivers. When I upgraded from my 1440p IPS...

AMD just dropped a compact AI workstation that makes discrete GPUs look outdated for running LLMs

Home a**istant on bare metal works great — until it becomes your entire home’s infrastructure

Before combining everything onto a few Proxmox-powered cluster nodes, I ran dedicated hardware for specific packages, be it Home Assistant and Frigate. The former was running on a compact mini PC, and by compact, I mean ridiculously small. It had an Intel chip, barely any RAM, and almost no storage,...
