Target Circle Week: Save Hundreds on Apple, Motorola, Roborock, and More

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is over, but Target’s Circle Week is still going strong, delivering savings of up to 50% on a ton of products, including our favorite tech. Target’s event will last through Oct. 12. Joining Target Circle is free, unlike Prime, giving users access to exclusive discounts.

There’s also the subscription-based Target Circle 360 available for those who want unlimited same-day delivery, free two-day shipping, and more. Those who choose to enroll in the annual membership this week will get a $50 discount on their next same-day delivery order of $50 or more. Now, let’s get to those deals!

The Apple Watch SE is always a good catch when it’s on sale and this Target discount is no different. We reviewed this smartwatch and found it to be “Excellent,” with our expert praising the performance of the new upgraded processor, the new motion sensors that support Crash Detection, and the good battery life. “With the exception of an always-on display and a few health sensors (ECG, SpO2, and temperature), it offers almost all the same connectivity, safety, and fitness features of the Series 8 for $150 less,” our review reads.

Listening to music with the AirPods Max is always a great experience. In our review of the AirPods Max, we gave it an “Excellent” rating for audio performance, the high-quality active noise cancellation, and great design. You can also call for Siri by either holding down the control button or saying “Hey Siri” before issuing whatever command you want to give out. The main issue we had with this model was the price, but since they’re heavily discounted for Target Circle members, that’s no longer a problem.

The excellent Beats Solo 4 headphones are currently available at a 50% discount at Target right now. We appreciated the sound quality they deliver, as well as the fact that you can quickly access Siri without having to press a button. As noted in our review, “The headphones ship with a black zip-up pouch that doesn’t fully open like a hard-shell case—it’s closer to a dopp kit. The interior has two side pockets for the included USB-C-to-USB-C and 3.5mm cables, which you can respectively use for active and passive wired listening.”

HP Envy x360

16-Inch Touchscreen, AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD

$649.99

Save $200.00

For anyone looking for an efficient and competent laptop for their everyday workload, the HP Envy x360 is a versatile solution. It’s a 2-in-1 laptop that easily swaps between roles, going from work support to hobby platform, allowing you to draw and sketch, for instance. With a 16-inch screen, an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, and 8GB of RAM, this laptop is a good solution for completing daily tasks. The 16:10 touch-screen display is also pretty great to use with creative tools, some light gaming, or streaming content. While we didn’t review this exact configuration, we did test the HP Envy x360 15.6-inch and found it delivered excellent performance.

The 9th-gen Apple iPad is an absolutely fantastic purchase at any price, but especially when it’s on sale. Following our review, we dubbed this tablet “Excellent” because it delivers powerful performance and has a great display. ” It performs better than pricier Android competitors, has a nice display well-suited for work and play, and will receive OS updates for years to come. The 12MP front-facing camera and the addition of Center Stage are also welcome upgrades for people who are working (or just video chatting) from home,” the review reads.

Even though it boils down to preferences, the PlayStation 5 may very well be the best gaming console you can buy right now. We reviewed the PS5 Slim and gave it an “Excellent” rating and our Editors’ Choice award, praising the spacious hard drive, the modular optical drive bay and just the general excellent performance it brings to the table. “The new, slightly redesigned PlayStation 5 is a bit slimmer in terms of physical size and a bit larger in terms of storage—otherwise, it’s the same system as the original model. It’s a fantastic game console with plenty of power and an advanced gamepad, though we lament the omission of a vertical stand,” the review reads.

Capturing hikes and bike rides is always fun when you have a GoPro with you, such as this one that’s now on sale. And it’s not just any model, but the GoPro Hero12 Black which we reviewed and found to be “Outstanding” and worthy of our Editors’ Choice award. “The Hero12 Black follows the action cam design formula to a tee. It’s sufficiently small to mount in tight spots, rugged enough to handle some abuse, and waterproof to 33 feet. A wide-angle lens makes it ideal for mounted point-of-view shots, and its image processing engine enables a narrower angle for vlogging, home movies, and snapshots. An 8:7 aspect sensor, a carryover from the Hero11, adds some flexibility for social media, as it lets you pull widescreen and vertical video from the same clip,” our expert summed up some of the things this camera can do. We’d also add that it has a great battery life, making it possible to record up to 70 minutes at 5.3K or over 2.5 hours at 1080p.

We noticed a jaw-dropping discount on the Roborock S8 Plus robovac for Target Circle members and couldn’t help but share it with you. This robot vacuum delivers 6000 Pa suction power, which will be enough for both hard floors and carpets. But that’s not all: This model can also mop the floors, lifting them when encountering carpets so as not to wet them. The charging station also serves as a storage space for all the dust and dirt the robovac collects, allowing up to 7 weeks to dirt to collect in the bag. Make sure also to check out some other awesome robot vacuums we tested.

Getting a flip phone will certainly awaken many memories of the not too distant (but distant enough) past. The modern Motorola Razr, however, is a fashionable model that’s budget-friendly even without a discount. The special discount for Target Circle members, however, makes things that much more special. In our review of the Razr, our expert appreciated the bright display and the phone’s increased portability. “The phone performed admirably on our battery test, in which we stream an HD video over Wi-Fi at full brightness. It lasted 15 hours and 48 minutes, or approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes longer than the Razr+,” our expert also noted.

LG OLED B4

We found a fantastic discount for Target Circle members on the LG OLED B4 smart TV. This 55-inch TV delivers a theater-like performance thanks to Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and a Filmmaker Mode you can activate. The built-in AI processor can upscale video on the go, so you can enjoy 4K images even when you’re watching content of lesser quality. Gamers will also enjoy the fact that it comes with Nvidia G-Sync and a 120Hz refresh rate that’s perfect for fast-paced gaming. Make sure to also check out some of the best TVs we’ve reviewed.

HP Chromebook Plus

14-Inch Touchscreen, Intel Core i3, 8GB RAM, 128GB

$499.99
at Target

$789.99
Save $290.00

If you’d rather get a Chromebook, this HP model comes with a 37% discount. Featuring an Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, this Chromebook will perform impeccably, delivering fast boot times, all-day battery life, and an overall great performance. If you mostly rely on the cloud for storage and generally use a ton of web-based app, then picking this model over a regular laptop is a good decision. Plus, it comes with a touchscreen, allowing you directly interact with apps and games. While you’re here, check out some other Chromebooks we reviewed and loved.

Having a power bank in your bag can help ease your mind when you’re on the go, especially if your phone’s battery tends to run out before the end of the day. This 5,000mAh Anker PowerCore on sale at Target might be just what you need. It quickly recharges your phone at 12W and has both USB-A and USB-C ports, so you can charge two devices at once.

If you still have an older TV model with no smart capabilities or you just want to add new ways to stream everything from one place, then you’ll love this Roku Express discount at Target. We reviewed one of these streaming dongles and gave it an “Excellent” rating, appreciating how inexpensive it is and just how versatile it can be with access to such a wide range of streaming services. It’s fast and powerful, and it allows you to customize the home screen with your favorite services. Plus, it works with Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, so you can control it by voice.
