The Fourth of July weekend is a great time to spend time with family and friends. The best deals happen in honor of America's birthday, but I want to give you a smaller selection of deals that won't last through the holiday. Frequent visitors to the site might recognize one or two of them, but I've tried to throw in a few new deals for you to peruse. Enjoy the weekend.

There are refurbished audio products that are covered by a one-year warranty that can be found at the sale event. The lowest price you can get for a new model is $139, which is down from the $169 price you would pay for a new model. There is only one color that can be used, black or white. We recommend you to read our review.

The Sonos Roam is a portable speaker that is built to endure the elements. It has wireless charging and supports a number of electronic devices.

You can find a lot of other products at great prices over at Sonos. The best price that I have seen on a refurbished Sonos device is one that I am giving a shout out to. Black, white, or shadow grey are the colors of the first-gen Sonos Beam soundbar. The stock of this model is hard to come by because it was replaced with a second-gen model.

Compared to each other, the two models are the same, except for the more capable eARC and the inclusion of Dolby Atmos. It is not worth it for current Beam owners to upgrade. The original model was reviewed.

Any sound coming out of your TV can be improved with the Beam, an entry level soundbar.

Sean Hollister wrote a bold headline about the shortage of graphics cards, and based on the availability of graphics cards this past week, it seems like it's over. The prices of graphics cards that were hard to find for almost two years are coming down. It is great to actually see it happening.

There is, perhaps, no better sign of this than the fact that some of the cards are easier to purchase. Since Thursday evening, we have been able to add the founder edition to the cart at Best Buy. The price was always intended to sell for. Maybe not the type of deal you were looking for. It is a good deal compared to paying someone a high price. We reviewed the 3070 Ti. At Best Buy, you can get the RTX 3070 for $499.99.

A boost clock speed of 1,770MHz is what this graphics card has.

Unless it sells out before then, the XBOX Series S console is $30 off for the next four days. You can get one for $2699.99. The Series X console has a disc drive, but this console doesn't. It is shooting for 1440p, which still looks great. It is a budget-friendly console that does not take up a lot of space in your center. We recommend you to read our review.

The smaller Series S can still play the same games at the same resolution, even though it's not 4K.
