Monday is Memorial Day, which makes this weekend both a time of reflection on our nation's fallen heroes and the unofficial kickoff of the summer season. To note the occasion, some of the biggest brands in tech and home goods will participate in an annual slashing-of-prices ceremony, otherwise known as a sale. And they're not alone. Below you'll find some of our favorite deals available this weekend. Among them is one of WIRED's own: you can pick up a full year of WIRED Magazine and unlimited web access for just $5.
Be sure to check out our favorite camping gear and the best summer outdoor deals from REI's Huge Anniversary Sale.

Apple iPad 9.7-inch (32 GB) for $249 ($80 off): Be sure to check out our iPad Guide to see which iPad is best for you, but the 9.7-inch model is one of our favorites.
MacBook Air 13-inch for $950 ($249 off): The latest MacBook Air is one of our favorite laptops right now. This is a killer deal for a capable and durable little machine.
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 64 GB for $899 ($100 off): It's not much of a discount, but the iPad Pro is one of the best tablets on the market today and less than a year old. There's also a 512-GB model available for $1,300 ($200 off), if you need a little more storage space.

Dell G5 15-inch Gaming Laptop for $720 ($280 off): Dell's G5 series offers powerful performance with an affordable price tag. Use code MEMORIAL10 for a deep discount.
Asus ROG Strix Scar Edition 17-inch Gaming Laptop for $1,179 ($421 off): At 17 inches, the Asus ROG Strix is a monster of a gaming laptop with a 120 Hz high-refresh-rate display. It's a steal at less than $1,500.
Samsung 65-Inch Curved QLED Smart 4K TV for $1,275 ($1,024 off): It's still a hefty investment, but this 65-inch curved QLED display is a sight to behold. The discount doesn't show until you enter the code MEMORIAL10 at checkout.
Samsung 65-Inch Picture Frame-Style 4K TV with LG Soundbar for $2,000 ($1,195 off): This Samsung TV becomes a digital picture frame when it's not in use, and comes bundled with an LG soundbar. Use code MEMORIAL10 at checkout for the full discount.
Master & Dynamic MH40 Headphones for $200 ($49 off): Master & Dynamic produces visually and aurally stunning headphones, and the MH40s are no exception.
Sony On-Ear Headphones for $23 ($37 off): These simple, stylish, and inexpensive Sony on-ear headphones aren't going to turn any heads, but they're not going to break the bank either.

Dyson V7 Motorhead Cord Free Vacuum for $199 ($125 off): Use code DATAMEM20 at checkout for the price cut. Dyson vacuums are legendary for their performance, longevity, and high prices but with $50 off, the V7 Motorhead is a little easier on the wallet—and well worth it. It's also available at Amazon for $234 ($90 off).
Instant Pot Lux Pressure Cooker for $43 ($17 off): For the past couple years the Instant Pot craze has been sweeping the US. Use code MEMORIAL15 at checkout for the discount. Now is your chance to get in on it if you haven't already. Amazon also has a 9-in-1 model for $90 ($40 off) if you're looking for something a little more full-featured (it has a yogurt setting).
KitchenAid Stand Mixer for $280 ($150 off):: Whether you use it every day or a couple times a year, few kitchen appliances will last you as long as a good KitchenAid stand mixer. Seriously, there's a good chance this thing will outlast every other appliance in your kitchen.

Nintendo Switch for $275 ($25 off): This is one of the best-selling consoles on the market, and a favorite among Nintendo fans. It's rare for the Nintendo Switch to see any kind of discount.
Xbox One X PUBG Bundle for $300 ($200 off): The Xbox One X is a powerful console, in fact the most powerful console and you can pick up this bundle that includes the popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds online battle royale shooter for a fraction of its retail price. Use code MEMORIAL10 at checkout for the discount.
Sony PlayStation 4 Pro for $315 ($84 off): Use code with code MEMORIAL10 at checkout for the lower price. Not quite as deep a cut as the Xbox One X, but the PS4 Pro is a little older, though still quite a capable 'Pro' console and the closest you can get your PS4 games to true 4K.
The Sims 4 is free until May 28th!: Now you're not going to be getting any of the expansion packs at this price (or lack of a price) but it will get you the base game, which is an excellent deal. Seriously, what's better than free?
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch for $50 ($10 off): The ultimate party game is on sale for just $10 off. It's not a deep discount, but this must-have is rarely listed at anything other than full-price.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey on PS4 for $25 ($35 off): Lauded as one of the best in the series, and certainly one of the best in recent memory, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a worthy addition to any PS4 library.
DJI Mavic Pro Platinum Quadcopter Combo for $950 ($450 off): One of the best, most portable drones on the market, we've been impressed by the Mavic Pro ever since its earliest iterations. The Platinum model has longer battery life, a quieter motor, and a snazzier paint job. Amazon has a similar discount.
Biolite FirePit Complete for $242 ($87 off): The first of Biolite's Memorial Day deals, the FirePit Complete is an all-in-one fire kit that includes a smokeless fire pit and all the accessories you'll need to enjoy some (smokeless) outdoor grilling this weekend.
Biolite Energy Bundle+ for $285 ($155 off): If you're going to spend time outdoors, you'll want to keep your devices charged and that's where the Energy Bundle+ comes in, it contains a stove, USB-charging solar panel, and lighting system.
Biolite Headlamp 330 for $43 ($7 off): A must-have for campers and night-runners, the Biolite Headlamp 330 is one of our favorites to light up any trail or road under your feet.
Glerup Camp Shoe for $81 ($54 off): Speaking of feet, the Glerup camp shoe is a nice cozy slipper for cold days at home, and a wonderful companion for chilly evenings outdoors.
There are far more deals out there than just those above, so if you're looking for something in particular, or just want to window shop, here's a list of more Memorial Day Sales for you:
