Best Buy said Tuesday that its third-quarter net income increased to $227 million, or 53 cents a share, up from $52 million, or 13 cents, earned in the same period a year earlier. That prior period had a 22-cent charge. Third quarter sales increased 5% to $12.02 billion from $11.5 billion.

Margins, however, are under pressure as sales of low-cost laptops and lower priced flat panel TVs are dominating Best Buy sales.
