The 194 best Black Friday deals you can still shop — a ton of tech is over half off
Now that the Thanksgiving dishes are put away and the last slice of pie is hidden in the back of the fridge, it’s time to turn your attention to the next major holiday: Black Friday. The biggest shopping day of the year has started, and as expected, there are tens of thousands of deals staring you in the face. The Verge found the ones that are actually worth considering.
Our team has spent an enormous amount of time looking through spreadsheets and e-mails to find gadgets that don’t go on sale very often, are down to their all-time low price, or both. In many cases, our reviews team has tested these gadgets — either for work or in their spare time — and can authoritatively vouch for their quality. Below you can find deals on everything from the AirPods Pro 3 and current-generation Kindle Paperwhite to some of our favorite non-tech essentials.
There are also great discounts on streaming service subscriptions, including HBO Max, Paramount Plus, and a bundle comprising Hulu and Disney Plus. We update our roundup as we find even more deals, so we encourage you to check back later for more recommendations.
Apple deals
AirPods Pro 3

Where to Buy:
Apple AirTags

Where to Buy:
AirPods Pro (second-gen with USB-C)

Where to Buy:
- Amazon, Walmart, and Target have marked the AirPods 4 down to around $69 ($60 off), which is their best price to date. Apple’s latest non-Pro AirPods sound great despite their open-style build, support voice isolation for clearer-sounding calls, and have a streamlined setup process and multipoint pairing with Apple devices. You can also get the version with active noise cancellation on sale for a new all-time low of $99.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Target. Read our review.
13-inch MacBook Air (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

Where to Buy:
- The 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 is $949 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon — the same discount as the 13-inch. It’s much the same excellent computer as the 13-inch version, just with a bigger screen, more battery life, and better speakers. Read our review.
- If you need to sizable step up in power for a Mac laptop, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro processor is $1,749 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It has a 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD like the base M5 model, but 24GB of RAM and faster Thunderbolt 5 ports. You can also step up to a bigger and beefier 16-inch version with a 14-core / 20-core M4 Pro chip, 48GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD for around $2,535 ($360 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.
- The Mac Mini is one of the best bargains available if you want a lot of computing power in a wildly small desktop. The base M4 model is down to $479 ($120 off) at Best Buy and Amazon, which is just $10 shy of its all-time low. Meanwhile, the more powerful M4 Pro version is going for $1,199.99 ($200 off) at Amazon, which is also one of its better prices to date. If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, there’s no better deal for this kind of power. Read our review.
Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2025, M5)

Where to Buy:
Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS)

Where to Buy:
- You can also buy the newfangled Apple Watch Ultra 3 at Amazon with either an Ocean Band, a Trail Loop, or an Alpine Loop for its all-time low of $699.99 ($100 off). Apple’s latest wearable is its most rugged and capable to date, with a larger wide-angle OLED display, satellite and 5G connectivity, and a battery that can last up to 42 hours on a single charge (up from 36 hours on the Ultra 2). Read our review.
- You can pick up the 40mm Apple Watch SE (second-gen) with GPS at Walmart starting at $129 ($120 off), which is a new low price (the 44mm variant is also on sale starting at $159). If you’re on a tight budget, the last-gen Apple Watch SE is still worth considering. It lacks some of Apple’s newer sensors and doesn’t offer an always-on display, but it remains relatively fast, given that it uses the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 8. It also provides all the essentials, including daily activity and sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, fall and crash detection, and access to the newer Vitals app in watchOS 26.
Apple Watch SE 3

Where to Buy:
- The second-gen HomePod is Apple’s latest smart speaker, and you can pick one up for $269.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy right now. The great-sounding speaker can play Dolby Atmos tracks with proper separation, though you can also pair two together for even better separation. The speaker doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means your device has to be on the same network to stream music to it. You can also ask Siri to play tunes, control various smart home accessories, set timers, or answer questions, but all of those functions still require a stable internet connection. Read our review.
- The latest 11-inch iPad Pro has only been out for about a month, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from cutting the price of the 256GB / Wi-Fi model to $899 ($100 off). Apple’s newest, most powerful iPad has the same design as last year’s model, but features a faster M5 processor, which you’ll notice most when performing resource-intensive tasks like playing games. Lower storage configurations of the iPad Pro also have 12GB of RAM (up from 8GB), while all models have faster memory bandwidth. Read our review.

Where to Buy:
- Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds are the brand’s boldest, most unique earbuds — and you can pick them up at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $199 ($100 off), their lowest price to date. Instead of sitting in your ear canal, the earbuds cling to your outer ear like a piece of jewelry. That design means you’ll always hear external noise, which isn’t ideal if you want to block out noisy coworkers; however, it’s great if you need to remain aware of your surroundings, such as when walking or riding a bike. Read our review.
- EarFun is offering up to 65 percent off its already affordable headphones, earbuds, and speakers. The EarFun Free Pro 3, a great pair of cheap wireless earbuds, are currently down to just $27.99 ($52 off) at Earfun’s online storefront with coupon code PDFP3. The wireless earbuds feature ANC, wireless charging, and over seven hours of continuous playback on a single charge. The EarFun Tune Pro, meanwhile, are on sale for $48.99 ($21 off) with code TUNEPRO56. The over-ear headphones feature noise-canceling tech and support for multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, so you can connect to two devices simultaneously.

Where to Buy:
- Now through December 1st, you can snag the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds for $228 ($101 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony’s online store, which matches the price drop we saw during Amazon’s most recent Prime Day event. Sony’s flagship earbuds improve upon the prior model with richer sound, slightly more powerful noise cancellation, and vastly superior comfort thanks to their reduced size and weight. They also come with four foam-style ear tips, offer around eight hours of battery life with ANC enabled, and carry an IPX4 rating with support for multipoint connectivity. Read our review.

Fitbit Charge 6

Where to Buy:
- The Fitbit Ace LTE is down to around $99.95 ($80 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy, which marks a new low price. The fitness tracker is designed specifically for kids, with movement-based games that encourage physical activity. It also supports GPS location tracking, along with the ability to send messages and place calls to a limited number of contacts. However, keep in mind that a Fitbit Ace Pass subscription ($9.99 per month / $119.99 per year) is required for location tracking, messaging, and access to the Fitbit Arcade. Read our hands-on impressions.
- The Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy for $119.95 ($80 off), which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year. The smartwatch features heart rate, activity, sleep, blood oxygen, menstrual health, and stress tracking, as well as more than 40 exercise modes that automatically detect and track specific workouts. Although it doesn’t support ECG, it can record heart rate variability and monitor it 24/7. It also supports services like Fitbit Pay and Google Maps, extending its usefulness beyond its core fitness tracking capabilities.
Fitbit Sense 2

Where to Buy:
- The entry-level Fitbit Inspire 3 has returned to its all-time low of $69.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. The basic fitness band nails the basics, providing heart rate, sleep, exercise, blood oxygen, and menstrual health tracking. It can also provide you with a sleep score every morning, along with tips for improving your sleep. You can also remove the Inspire 3 from its band and wear it as a necklace, which is less obtrusive but disables heart rate tracking. Read our hands-on impressions.
Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm, Wi-Fi)

Where to Buy:
Garmin Fenix 8

Where to Buy:
- The Venu X1, one of Garmin’s more premium smartwatches, is available from Amazon for a new low of $599.99 ($200 off). The X1 features a 2-inch OLED display and Garmin’s thinnest case yet. It can also track your activity, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and sleep (including naps). It’ll provide you with a morning report based on recorded health metrics, and it offers stress tracking and guided meditations. It can even track over 100 activities and create a running or strength training regimen via Garmin Coach.
- Garmin’s midrange Vivoactive 6 is on sale for $249.99 ($50 off) — its best price to date — at Amazon, Best Buy, and REI. The watch features a circular 1.2-inch OLED screen, a battery that can last up to 11 hours per charge, and Bluetooth support. It can also track your activity, blood oxygen level, sleep, and heart rate, as well as generate fitness plans using the built-in Garmin Coach.
Garmin Forerunner 265 (42mm)

Where to Buy:
- The 46mm OnePlus Watch 3 is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and OnePlus for $249.99 ($100 off) — its best prices to date. The newer wearable retains everything we loved about its predecessor, including dual-frequency GPS and long battery life, but improves the experience with a rotating crown that scrolls and up to 120 hours of battery life. It can also provide a quick snapshot of your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, and more. Read our hands-on impressions.
Garmin Venu 3S

Where to Buy:
- The Amazfit Active 2 remains our favorite fitness tracker because it offers a surprising feature set given its modest price tag, especially now that you can get it for an all-time low of $79.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The budget-friendly smartwatch can track your sleep, heart rate, and a slew of activities, while providing a daily readiness score based on what its sensors record. It also features a vibrant OLED display, an estimated 10 days of battery life, and enough built-in sports modes to accurately track every part of your workout routine. Read our review.
- Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is an excellent complement to a Samsung smartphone, and it’s hit an all-time low of $279.99 ($120 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung’s online store. The newer smart ring has a slim, lightweight design, long battery life, and, unlike competitors like the Oura Ring, doesn’t lock features behind a paywall (yet). That said, its battery lasts longer when paired with a Samsung phone, and certain features — including the ability to view your daily Energy Score or use the camera shutter by pinching your fingers — aren’t available when paired with another Android phone. Read our review.
Tablet and e-reader deals
Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023)

Where to Buy:
- The latest Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids tablet is matching its all-time low of $104.99 ($85 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. The tablet features a 10.1-inch 1080p display, a kid-proof case, and up to 13 hours of battery life. It also comes with 32GB of storage for loading up apps and other content, along with robust parental controls and a two-year warranty. It also comes with a year of Amazon Kids Plus, which features access to ad-free, age-appropriate content, including books, movies, apps, and more.
- If you’re looking for something more compact, the latest Amazon Fire 7 Kids is currently available at Target, Best Buy, and Amazon, for $44.99 ($55 off), its lowest price to date. The basic tablet offers many of the same features and services found in the larger 10.1-inch model — including an extended two-year warranty, extensive parental controls, and a year of Amazon Kids Plus — but the base Fire 7 Kids comes with 16GB of storage and features a smaller 7-inch display. The device also offers up to 10 hours of battery life, providing plenty of fun while on the road.
Kindle Paperwhite (12th-gen)

Where to Buy:
- The 16GB Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon’s newest color e-reader, is down to a new low of $169.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. It features a 7-inch screen with 300ppi when viewing text and black-and-white imagery, or 150ppi when viewing color. It has 16GB of storage, a battery that lasts up to eight weeks, and a waterproof design. If you want to carry around more books, the Signature Edition has 32GB of storage, plus wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light sensor. You can pick the latter up for $229.99 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
Kindle (11th-gen)

Where to Buy:
- Amazon, Best Buy, and Target have all marked the 2024 Kindle Scribe with 16GB of storage down to an all-time low of $279.99 ($120 off). The Scribe has a 10.2-inch display and a battery that can last up to 12 weeks, and it comes with Amazon’s Premium Pen, which you can use to annotate books or jot down ideas. The e-reader’s built-in AI features, meanwhile, allow you to clean up your handwriting, summarize your notes, or adjust the length and tone of what you’ve written. However, keep in mind that Amazon recently announced a new model, though we still don’t have a firm launch date. Read our review.

Where to Buy:
- LG’s 55-inch C5 OLED is down to $1,049.99 ($950 off) at Amazon. The midrange TV is a good entry point into the world of OLED technology, offering a solid balance in terms of design, brightness, and high-end gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K at 144Hz with variable refresh rate tech. The C5 Series also handles glare and ambient light better than the step-down B5 Series; however, OLED panels are still not ideal for really bright rooms.
- Hisense’s 65-inch S7N Canvas TV is the company’s answer to Samsung’s popular Frame TV, one you can currently grab for $849.99 ($450 off) at Amazon. The 4K set has a matte screen that makes the artwork it displays more akin to a real painting, and Hisense includes a wall mount, allowing you to hang it. The S7N features a QLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and four HDMI ports (two HDMI 2.1 and two HDMI 2.0), making it suitable for a mix of current and last-gen gaming consoles.

- If you’re looking for a solid OLED TV, but don’t need the best of the best, the Samsung S90F is one of the best 65-inch TVs you can get for its sale price of $1,397.99 (down from about $1,600 last month) at Amazon and two dollars more Best Buy. It might not be the brightest OLED of 2025 (for that, see the LG G5), but at a little over 1,400 nits, there’s plenty of light to combat a well-lit living space. The S90F is also very accurate and has excellent color gamut coverage, which translates to vibrant, lifelike colors. And for gamers, all four HDMI ports are version 2.1, the TV supports high refresh rates with FreeSync up to 144Hz for PC gaming, and its input lag is under 10ms.
Roku Pro Series 4K TV

Where to Buy:
TCL QM8K Series QD-Mini LED TV

Where to Buy:
- LG’s 77-inch G5 OLED is an expensive set, but you can currently snag it for around $3,346.99 ($1,153 off) — one of its best prices to date — at Amazon. The high-end 4K TV delivers better brightness than the aforementioned C5, allowing you to use it in rooms that are exposed to a lot of ambient light. It also features four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K at 165Hz with VRR, as well as support for the popular Dolby Vision HDR format.
Google TV Streamer (4K)

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023)

The inexpensive streaming device comes with an Alexa Voice Remote that features a built-in microphone, which lets you use Amazon’s virtual assistant to find TV shows and movies, or control compatible smart home accessories using your voice. You can also use it to access Amazon Luna or Xbox Game Pass, allowing you to play games from their respective cloud gaming libraries.

Blink Video Doorbell (second-gen)

Where to Buy:
- The Ring Battery Doorbell and Indoor Cam Bundle is available at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy for $69.99 ($70 off), matching its best price to date. The bundle includes a Ring Battery Doorbell and an Indoor Cam, making it a great starter kit for renters and new home owners. The Ring Battery Doorbell offers head-to-toe video outside your front door, while the Indoor Cam let’s you keep an eye on an interior space. They’re easy to install, easy to set up, and easy to use.
- The Blink Mini 2 is on sale for $17.99 ($22 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which matches its best price to date. The 1080p camera offers all the basics, including color night video, motion alerts, and two-way audio. It also features USB-C support and a wider 143-degree field of view than prior models, letting you see more of the room or porch. Just note that if you want to use it outside to keep tabs on packages, you’ll need a weather-resistant adapter to go with it, which you can get on Amazon for about $10 more.
- The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch is on sale for $199.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy. The stylish smart lock works with every major smart-home platform and supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It also lets you unlock your door in multiple ways, including via fingerprint, touchscreen, the app, and even has an auto-unlocking feature. Read our review.
- If Philips Hue’s Festavia lights are outside your budget, Govee’s Christmas Lights 2 are also on sale, with the 66-foot going for an all-time low of $63.99 ($36 off) at Amazon and Govee’s online storefront. You can also grab the 99-foot strand for $11 more (Amazon / Govee), the longer 164-foot set for $129.99 (Amazon / Govee), or the 328-foot string for $249.99 (Amazon / Govee). The Matter-compatible lights offer an IP65 rating so you can use them indoors and outdoors, but their dro-style head LEDs aren’t as attractive as the Festavia’s. Plus, the Festavia offer nicer preset scenes.
Ring Battery Doorbell Plus

Where to Buy:
Google Nest Doorbell (second-gen, battery)

Where to Buy:
- The Google Nest Cam — which can be used both indoors and outside — is now available for its lowest price in months at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, where you can pick it up for $119 ($60 off).

Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th-gen)

Where to Buy:
- If you’re looking for an inexpensive smart thermostat that offers a lot of value, Amazon’s Smart Thermostat is down to $51.99 ($28 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target — the best price we’ve seen all year. It lacks native temperature sensors, but it can learn and adapt to your habits over time, which is rather impressive for the price. It also integrates well with Alexa, though it doesn’t support other voice assistants. Read our review.
Amazon Echo Hub

Where to Buy:
- You can buy the latest Echo Show 8 for $159.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is the best price we’ve seen on the eight-inch smart display. The fabric-wrapped Show 8 offers improved sound over the prior model, along with a better LCD display with wider viewing angles and higher contrast. It’s snappier, slimmer, and sleeker; it’s also designed to run on Amazon’s revamped Alexa Plus AI assistant. Read our impressions of the latest Echo Show 8.
- Reolink’s Video Doorbell is one of our top recommendations if you don’t want to pay a subscription fee to view footage, and it’s returned to its all-time low of $76.99 ($43 off) at Amazon, Newegg, and Reolink’s website. The wired doorbell can record clear 2K HDR footage and store video clips locally on a microSD card, the Reolink Hub, or an FTP server. It’s also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, but not Apple Home.

Dreame X40 Ultra
Where to Buy:
- The Dreame X50 Ultra recently replaced the X40 Ultra as our favorite mopping bot for hardwood floors, and it’s currently available for an all-time low of $799.99 (50 percent off) from Amazon and Dreame. In addition to having a higher 20,000Pa of suction power and an improved dual rubber roller system, it has a motorized “swing arm” leg that allows it to climb over higher thresholds (up to 6cm), so it can maneuver around even more spaces than its predecessor.
- You can buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav from Amazon, Best Buy, and Dyson for around $399.95 ($600 off), its best price to date. Although it lacks an auto-empty dock, the powerful robovac is one of the best robot vacuums we’ve tested for carpets, boasting a whopping 65 air watts of suction. It also features a large roller brush that can reach the edges of rooms and into corners, along with a removable 500ml dustbin. That said, it struggles with more complex floor plans, so it’s best suited to simpler setups. Read our impressions.
Ecovacs Deebot T50 Max Pro

Where to Buy:
- Roborock’s Saros 10R is on sale for $999.99 ($500 off) at Amazon and directly from Roborock, which is a record low price. The pricey robovac uses an AdaptLift chassis to help it climb over high room transitions, and can even lift its mop pads out of the way when they’re not needed. It’s also exceptionally powerful, with 22,000Pa of suction, lidar navigation, and a vibrating mopping pad.
- The Eufy Omni S1 Pro is also matching its all-time low of $699.99 ($800 off) at Amazon and from Anker’s online storefront (with promo code WS24T2080111). The robovac features an 11.4-inch roller mop and dual spinning side brushes, which work in tandem to leave your hardwood floors spotless. Plus, with 8,000Pa of suction power, it’s decent at picking up dirt and debris from carpets; it also features solid AI-powered obstacle avoidance, so you don’t need to worry about it getting stuck in clutter.
- The Eufy X10 Pro Omni, our favorite midrange robot vacuum / mop, has returned to its Prime Day low of $449.99 ($450 off) at Amazon and from Anker’s online storefront (with code WS24T2351).

The powerful Bluetooth speaker carries an IP68 rating, offers up to 28 hours of playback per charge, and uses JBL’s AI Sound Boost tool to prevent distortion at higher volumes. You can also plug your phone into its USB-C port and use it as a battery pack, but JBL says it can’t be used to top off a laptop.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4

Where to Buy:
- The Bose SoundLink Plus is on sale for $189.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. Despite being about the size of a 20-ounce water bottle, it delivers loud, impressive sound with a rugged IP67 build and USB-C charging.

- The new Echo Dot Max is on sale for $89.99 ($10 off), its best price to date, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

- The latest Bose SoundLink Micro is on sale for a new all-time low of $109 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The rugged Micro is the brand’s smallest Bluetooth speaker, but it still offers big sound and up to 12 hours of battery life. The second-gen model also features a USB-C charging port, an IP67 rating for full water and dust resistance, and a handy utility strap, so you can clip the speaker to your bag using a carabiner.
Bose TV Speaker

Where to Buy:
- Another soundbar that delivers surprisingly full sound and Dolby Atmos performance for its size is the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. It’s currently priced at around $699 ($200 off) for Black Friday at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. It sounds great with both movies and music, and has a nice slim profile that’s low enough for practically any TV.
Sonos Beam (second-gen)

Where to Buy:
- The Sonos Era 100 is the company’s entry-level smart speaker, one you can grab for $169 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo. The speaker has a single woofer and two tweeters, which allows it to play music in stereo — though you’ll get a far wider soundstage by pairing two Era 100s together. You can stream music to it over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or connect it to a turntable if you pick up an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. Read our review.
Sonos Roam 2

Where to Buy:
- You can pick up Sonos’ Era 300 at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo for $379 ($100 off), which is $20 shy of the smart speaker’s lowest price to date.

- If you want a Surface with a slightly bigger, nicer display and a higher-end Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Surface Laptop 7th Edition (13.8-inch) from 2024 is on sale for $899.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s still a great machine if you prioritize battery life on Windows and want a nice screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2304 x 1536 resolution. Read our review.
- Lenovo’s Legion 5 gaming laptop is a well-rounded entry-level gaming laptop with a unique twist: it has a 16:10 aspect ratio OLED screen and costs just $999.99 at Walmart during Black Friday. Its specs can’t run every game at high settings, but it’s no slouch, either, with its AMD Ryzen 7 260 AI processor, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD.
Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch

Where to Buy:
- Microsoft’s flagship 13-inch Surface Pro is also on a big discount, selling for as low as $749.99 ($450 off) at Microsoft with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. It’s quite a deal, though the keyboard and stylus are sold separately. The convertible tablet has great battery life and solid performance.
- The Asus Zenbook A14 is selling for an all-time low of $549.99 ($450 off) at Best Buy. If you want a super-light laptop with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip for long battery life, the Zenbook is an impressive offering — especially since it has an OLED display to boot. I first handled this thing at CES, and the combination of its lightweight 2.4-pound chassis, unique finish with earthy colors, port selection, and OLED screen was really impressive. Now, at this price? It’s quite compelling.
- I’m currently testing the 14-inch HP OmniBook 5 and liking it, especially for the value it offers. It’s very affordable for a laptop with an OLED display and marathon battery life, and it’s just $529.99 ($170 off MSRP) at Amazon and direct from HP. Its base Snapdragon X1 Plus chip isn’t very speedy, but it’s manageable if you’re not going too wild on multitasking. But the star of the show is this nice 1920 x 1200 OLED panel for such a low, low price.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)

Where to Buy:
- The base Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop with a last-gen Intel Raptor Lake 14650HX CPU, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is $1,199.99 ($300 off) at Amazon. For a higher-end model that doesn’t skyrocket in price, the Strix G16 with AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070 Ti is $1,599.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy. Strix models are much chunkier than their ROG Zephyrus cousins, but they’re a better deal if you prioritize performance over portability.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16-inch, Intel)

Where to Buy:
- The Lenovo Legion 7i above is one of my preferred gaming laptops if you like a beefy boy with high-end RTX 5080 graphics, but a solid alternative for less is the similarly-specced HP Omen Max 16. The Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is just $1,999.99 ($1,300 off) direct from HP. It’s also at Best Buy with a 2TB SSD for $2,599.99 ($560 off), but the one at HP is the screaming deal that you should nab before it’s gone (you can always do your own SSD upgrade later).
HP Victus 15 (2025, RTX 4050)

Where to Buy:
Razer Blade 16 (2025, RTX 5090)

Where to Buy:
- The closest competitor to the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, which is on sale for a new low of $599.99 ($50 off) direct from Lenovo. It’s the base model with a non-touch OLED display, 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and the power-sipping MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor. The higher-end $749 model with a touchscreen that I tested in my review is slightly better, but these kinds of Chromebooks rarely go on sale.

Sony DualSense Edge

Where to Buy:
- Nintendo’s big wave of Black Friday discounts has arrived, knocking $30 off several fantastic Switch titles that every owner should consider playing. Games like Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 3, and others are $30 instead of $60. Some of these price drops aren’t unprecedented, but the timing is good if you’re getting a Switch 2, as some titles have free Switch 2 upgrades that boost visual fidelity. Also, many of the Zelda-themed amiibo that launched alongside Nintendo’s new console are just $10, down from $30.
- Walmart has discounted the G7 HE Wired Xbox Controller to $37 ($13 off) when you sign in with your Walmart account, which is a new low. The wireless controller features drift-resistant Hall effect joysticks, Hall effect magnetic triggers, and Hall effect analog triggers.

Steam Deck (LCD)

Where to Buy:
- The 32-inch Asus ROG Swift 4K (model PG32UCDM) is one of the most feature-packed OLED gaming monitors on the market, with a 240Hz refresh rate, 90W USB-C charging, a glossy screen coating, and a built-in KVM switch that lets you control different computers with a single mouse and keyboard. Right now, it’s down to $899 at Amazon, which is a big drop from its usual price of $1,299 (nobody tell Nathan Edwards).
- The Backbone Pro can turn any smartphone or smaller tablet with a USB-C port into a more effective handheld, and it’s fallen to a new low of $134.99 ($35 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Backbone’s online store. The controller has an Xbox-like button layout, plus a pair of remappable rear buttons. It’s also compatible with games available on the App Store and Google Play Store, as well as cloud-based titles that are streamable via Xbox Game Pass. The Pro is Backbone’s first controller to support Bluetooth, too, which allows you to use it with everything from a Stream Deck to the latest smart TVs.
- If you have (or soon plan to buy) a Nintendo Switch 2, you may need a microSD Express card if you foresee quickly expanding beyond the console’s internal 256GB of storage, as it’s the only kind of storage you can run Switch 2 games off of. Fortunately, Samsung’s 512GB P9 is down to its lowest price yet, selling for $74.99 (was $99.99) at Amazon.

The carrying case provides 40 dedicated slots for storing both game cartridges and microSD cards, so you can easily carry your collection of physical and digital titles. The case measures around 6 inches wide and is made of durable hardshell plastic, so your games stay protected in your bag.
Board game deals
Catan (6th Edition)

Where to Buy:
- You can pick up Monopoly Deal on sale for $5.59 (about $3 off) at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. To win in this card game, players must be the first to collect three property sets using cards that correspond to spaces on the Monopoly board. There are no dice to roll like there are in the board game, but action cards let you collect rent, steal, or swap properties to get ahead. It also takes about 45 minutes to play, which is far more approachable than an actual game of Monopoly.
- Codenames is on sale at Amazon right now for $15.95 ($9 off), which is about $1 shy of its best price to date. In the excellent party game, you give your teammates one-word clues to help them figure out which tiles you’re referring to on the board without accidentally pointing them toward the opposing team’s tiles.

The 140-piece kit includes a brick version of Batman himself, and a set of mech armor that can launch studs from one of its arms. The mech’s limbs are jointed, so you can change its pose, and equip it with its own batarang to match Batman’s.

While it’s not quite as precise as Apple’s AirTag, it can still help you keep tabs on your belongings from up to 500 feet away.

- The Nomad Tracking Card Air is currently down to $22 ($7 off) at Nomad’s website. The tracker is about the size of two standard credit cards smashed together (it’s officially 1.7mm thick), so it should have no problem slipping into the slimmest of wallets. It features a sturdy polycarbonate body that can withstand daily wear, as well as integration with Apple’s robust Find My network. That means that if you lose it, you can view its last known or current location in the Find My app.

The stylish earplugs won’t reduce noise as effectively as a custom set; however, they do carry a noise reduction rating of 12dB, which is totally adequate for that occasional Turnstile set.

The best Black Friday deals you can still get on AirTags, iPad, and other Apple gear
If you’re planning to gift an Apple device this holiday season — or treat yourself — now’s the time to start shopping. Black Friday has officially arrived, bringing with it the best Apple deals we’ve seen all year.
Despite having recently launched, for instance, the new AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Series 11, and new M5-powered MacBook Pro are all down to record low prices for the holiday. Last-gen models are also cheaper than ever right now, with the second-gen AirPods Pro now priced close to the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation — a welcome surprise, given that the last-gen Pro offer superior ANC performance by comparison.
There’s a whole lot more on sale, and to sift through discounts more easily, we’ve rounded them up by category. We’ve even sprinkled in some historical price info, so you can spot the best deals at a glance.

Where to Buy:
- If you’re looking for the step-up AirPods 4 with ANC, you can buy them for around $109.99
$99.99 ($30 off)at Amazon andTarget. Their noise cancellation performance doesn’t quite match the current- or even last-gen AirPods Pro, but it’s still impressive for the price. In addition to ANC, you also get other features not found on the base-model AirPods 4, including wireless charging, a handy transparency mode, and Find My support for the included charging case. Read our review. - The updated AirPods Max with USB-C are down to $399.99 ($140 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is their best price to date. The over-ear headphones offer a luxurious stainless steel and aluminum design that’s exceptionally comfortable, while delivering rich sound quality with lossless audio support and a surprisingly natural-sounding transparency mode.

Where to Buy:
Apple Watch SE 3

Where to Buy:
- The 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 with GPS is on sale at Walmart starting at $249 ($150 off), which is its best price to date. While the Series 11 offers slightly longer battery life, a more efficient 5G modem, and a more scratch-resistant display, the Series 10 remains an excellent smartwatch. It features a large, wide-angle OLED display and the same S10 SiP chip found in the Series 11. It also supports FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection and offers the same hypertension notifications, courtesy of the recent watchOS 26 update. Read our review.
- You can currently pick up the 40mm Apple Watch SE (second-gen) with GPS at Walmart starting at $129 ($120 off), which is a new low price (the 44mm variant is also on sale starting at $159). If you’re on a tight budget, the last-gen Apple Watch SE is still worth considering. It lacks some of Apple’s newer sensors and doesn’t offer an always-on display, but it remains relatively fast, given that it uses the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 8. It also provides all the essentials, including daily activity and sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, fall and crash detection, and access to the newer Vitals app in watchOS 26.
Apple Watch Ultra 2

Where to Buy:
- You can also buy the newfangled Apple Watch Ultra 3 at Amazon with either an Ocean Band, a Trail Loop, or an Alpine Loop for
$779.99 ($20 off), which is a far cry fromits all-time low of $699.99 but still one of the first discounts we’ve seen. Apple’s latest wearable is its most rugged and capable to date, with a larger wide-angle OLED display, satellite and 5G connectivity, and a battery that can last up to 42 hours on a single charge (up from 36 hours on the Ultra 2). Read our review.

iPad (2025)

Where to Buy:
- The 11-inch M5 iPad Pro is down to its best price to date at Amazon, where you can buy it starting at $899 with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage. Other configurations, specifically the 512GB and 1TB models, are on sale for $1,099 ($100 off) and $1,482 ($117 off), respectively. In addition to offering faster performance than their predecessor, the new Pros support Wi-Fi 7, faster charging, and start with 12GB of RAM. They also come with an N1 chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread, and if you get the cellular version, Apple’s new C1X cellular modem. Read our review.
- The latest 13-inch iPad Pro is also on sale at Amazon in its 256GB base configuration for $1,199 ($100 off), which remains the tablet’s lowest price to date. If you need more storage, the 1TB model is down to $1,768 ($131 off) at Amazon, while the 2TB version is going for $2,147 ($152 off). The heavier 13-inch model is nearly identical to the 11-incher, but it offers more screen real estate and higher resolution.
11-inch iPad Air M3

Where to Buy:
- If you want a larger display, the 13-inch M3-powered iPad Air with Wi-Fi / 128GB of storage is also on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, where you can buy it starting at an all-time low of around $649 ($150 off). Other configurations are also on sale, with the 256GB model going for $749.99 ($150 off), the 512GB version $929 ($170 off), and the 1TB variant $1,229.
- You can buy the 13-inch M4-powered iPad Pro with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage at Amazon starting at $1,049 ($200 off) when you clip the on-page coupon. The last-gen Pro offers a stunning OLED display and a thinner build than prior models, along with a front-facing camera that’s (finally) located in the middle of the long side of the iPad.

- The last-gen 16-inch MacBook Pro is still a powerhouse even if it runs on the older M4 Pro chip, and right now you can buy it with 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $2,189 (about $310 off) at Amazon, which is just a few dollars shy of its all-time low. It sports speedy Thunderbolt 5 ports and a sharp 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam, and because the new M5-powered MacBook Pros don’t yet come in a 16-inch size, it’s your best bet if you want a larger display. Read our review of the 14-inch MacBook Pro.
- If you’re in the market for a desktop and don’t mind supplying your own keyboard and mouse, you can buy the M4 Mac Mini with an M4 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for $479 ($120 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is one of its best prices to date. The desktop can handle everyday tasks with ease, along with some light gaming and 4K video editing.

- The second-gen HomePod is Apple’s latest smart speaker, and you can pick one up for $269.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy right now. The great-sounding speaker can play Dolby Atmos tracks with proper separation, though you can also pair two together for even better separation. The speaker doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means your device has to be on the same network to stream music to it. You can also ask Siri to play tunes, control various smart home accessories, set timers, or answer questions, but all of those functions still require a stable internet connection. Read our review.
- You can buy the Apple Pencil Pro for $94.99 ($35 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $10 more than its best price to date. If you own the latest iPad Pro, iPad Mini, or an M2- or M3-based iPad Air, this is a fantastic stylus that offers several features not found on the entry-level Apple Pencil with USB-C (which is also discounted to $49 at Walmart). In addition to wireless charging, you get Find My support, pressure sensitivity, and a “Barrel Roll” gyroscope that allows you to easily adjust the angle of your pen with a twist.

Philips Hue’s Festavia string lights are nearly $60 off (and still available) for Black Friday
If you want your house to be the one everyone slows down to look at this holiday season, Philips Hue’s Festavia lights can make that happen.

The Festavia lights are impressive holiday string lights, boasting rich colors, individually addressable LEDs, and a variety of magical preset scenes that combine to create an effect that outshines most rivals. What’s great is you can use them indoors and outdoors thanks to their IP54 rating, so if you don’t want to decorate your porch or walkway, you can use them to dress up your Christmas tree or stair rails.
The lights will work over Bluetooth, but with a Hue Bridge or newer Bridge Pro, you can take things even further with automations and the ability to sync the lights with your music. They also play nicely with other Philips Hue gear — like color-changing light strips, spotlights, and bulbs — so you can create a festive light show that’ll dazzle the neighbors. As a bonus, you can set schedules in the easy-to-use mobile app, so the lights can turn on and off even when you’re not home. And because they support Matter, they work with all major smart home platforms, including Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.
Govee Christmas String Lights 2

Where to Buy:
If you’re looking for something more affordable or additional size options, Govee’s Christmas Lights 2 are also on sale right now. You can grab a 66-foot strand from Amazon and Govee for $63.99 ($36 off), or a 99-foot strand for $11 more (Amazon / Govee). The longer 164-foot set is also available for $129.99 ($70 off) from Amazon and Govee, while the 328-foot string can be had for $249.99 ($150 off) at Amazon and Govee’s online storefront. As for how these prices stack up to prior sales, these are the best we’ve seen, regardless of strand length.
Like the Festavia, the Lights 2 support Matter and can be safely used indoors or outside thanks to their IP65 rating. However, the included power adapter is only IP44-rated, and the LEDs use drop-style heads rather than bullet heads, which is fine for the roof but not nearly as striking on a Christmas tree. Govee’s companion app isn’t as intuitive as Philips Hue’s, either, and the Festavia lights still offer a better selection of preset scenes.

The Verge’s guide to Black Friday 2025
Now that we’ve already gathered with friends and family to dine on our favorite foods, the real feast has begun. I’m talking, of course, about Black Friday and the full weekend of shopping that leads into Cyber Monday on December 1st.
Many of the gadgets we recommend to readers have received steep discounts that’ll likely last throughout both events, allowing you to save on laptops, OLED TVs, noise-crushing headphones, and everything in between. If you didn’t get what you wanted during Amazon Prime Day or the retailer’s most recent sales event, now’s your chance.
However, this holiday season could be a more costly affair than you may expect due to the ongoing tariff situation in the US; The price of Sonos speakers, video game consoles, cameras, and other goods continues to climb. The good news is that our deep, well-vetted deals coverage can help you avoid the higher price tags. We also have tips on how to find the best deals and when to shop, and we’ll continue to highlight notable discounts throughout the busy shopping weekend — regardless of which retailer you prefer.

The M4 MacBook Air is one of the best Apple deals you can get for Black Friday
Black Friday is packed with plenty of great Apple deals, but one of the most notable is the current discount on the latest MacBook Air. Right now, you can buy the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 with 256GB of storage at Amazon, Best Buy, and Costco starting around $749 ($250 off), which remains the laptop’s lowest price to date. If you prefer a larger display, the base 15-inch Air is also down to an all-time low of $949 ($250 off) at Amazon and Best Buy with 256GB of storage.

Where to Buy:
15-inch MacBook Air (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

Where to Buy:
If you’re shopping for a laptop for everyday use, Apple’s latest entry-level MacBook Air remains our top pick. It offers everything most people need, including all-day battery life and snappy performance courtesy of Apple’s last-gen M4 processor. It also comes with twice as much base RAM as its predecessor (16GB), helping it power through productivity tasks — and even light video editing or casual gaming — with ease.
Additionally, unlike previous models, you can connect the M4 Air to two external displays with the lid open for better multitasking, whereas before the lid had to be closed. Apple also added a 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam previously reserved for the pricier MacBook Pros, which is sharper, offers a wider field of view, and keeps you centered in the frame during video calls. Overall, it’s a lightweight, dependable machine that delivers sufficient power without sacrificing portability, making it a great choice for students or anyone with less demanding needs.

These 50 handpicked Black Friday deals are still available for $50 or less
Black Friday is a great time to save on big-ticket items like 4K TVs, laptops, and headphones. But if you’re on a tight budget this holiday season, there are plenty of worthwhile deals on practical upgrades for $50 or less — think power banks, smart speakers, location trackers, and entry-level earbuds that punch above their weight. And, yeah, you can save on video games, too, even first-party Nintendo Switch titles.
If you have an extensive wish list to get through, this guide can help you check off a lot of boxes without draining your wallet. Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Controller, for instance, is a great gift for multiplatform gaming. If you’re looking for a way to spend cozy nights, you can also save on a 4K version of Peter Jackson’s masterful Lord of the Rings trilogy. Then there’s UE’s Miniroll speaker and the noise-canceling CMF Buds Pro 2, which will let you take your holiday playlist on the go. There are a lot of great choices on sale below… if you act fast.

Aura’s latest, gift-worthy digital photo frame is $30 off for Black Friday
Since its release earlier this year, we’ve constantly found ourselves wanting to add the Aura Aspen to just about every gift guide we’ve put together (and for good reason). If you’re looking to gift a gadget that actually feels personal, Aura’s go-to digital picture frame is a great choice. And right now, the 12-inch frame is matching its all-time low of around $199 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Aura’s online storefront for Black Friday.
What sets the Aspen apart is how well it mimics a regular photo frame. Its paper-textured, anti-glare matte display, thin 0.5-inch bezel, and adjustable metal stand give it a traditional feel. The 1600 x 1200 HD LCD display, meanwhile, makes photos appear sharp and surprisingly lifelike, while the Aspen’s 4:3 aspect ratio means most smartphone shots fit naturally. There’s even a built-in ambient light sensor that adapts to your surroundings, dimming the screen — or turning it off entirely — when the room gets dark.
At its core, however, the tabletop digital frame is still a slick piece of tech, allowing you and your loved ones to upload photos from anywhere via email, the Aura Frames app for Android and iOS, or automatically using iCloud Photos or Google Photos (you can even add text captions). You can even use Live Photos from your iPhone for a Harry Potter–style effect, or display 30-second videos with sound for an even more personal touch.
Read our Aura Aspen impressions.
You can pick up 32GB of DDR5 RAM with a whole PC for $999 for Black Friday
If you were hoping for a huge deal on RAM during Black Friday, well, stop being silly. Depending on the RAM kit you want, buying it right now might be too costly to justify, an unfortunate trend that my colleague Sean Hollister recently pointed out. You can either wait out this period of surge pricing, or if you’re jumping into PCs for the first time and want to play games at 1080p, get a nice deal on a prebuilt gaming PC that has some decent specs for the price.
The builders iBuyPower has a couple of machines selling at a discount, including its Element SE, which is down to $999 ($300 off) at Walmart. That PC comes with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8700F processor, Nvidia’s midrange RTX 5060 Ti (8GB) GPU, a 1TB SSD, and 32GB of that precious DDR5 clocked at 5,200MHz — all shipped in a nice tri-panel tempered glass case. Here are the full specs, as listed on iBuyPower’s site.
iBuyPower Element SE

Where to Buy:
If you’re alright with stepping down to the RTX 5060, halving the RAM, and swapping out the AMD processor for the similarly powerful Intel Core i5 14400F, Best Buy’s version of the Element SE is currently on sale for an all-time low $779.99 ($260 off). It ships in the same case, with the same 600W 80 Plus Gold power supply, too.
These laptops are still steeply discounted for Black Friday — many are over $400 off
Aside from TVs, Black Friday is the best opportunity to save on one of the biggest tech purchases we’re all likely to make: a new laptop. A new generation of laptops is always around the corner at CES in January, but they’re still months away from release. In the here and now, you can get big discounts on excellent current-gen Windows laptops, MacBooks, and Chromebooks.
There are hundreds of dollars to be saved on laptops from Apple, Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, Asus, and more. And there’s a mix of options, whether you prefer a thin-and-light model for work and easy travel, a workstation for content creation, or a gaming laptop for graphical performance above all else. There are even some Chromebook deals if you’re shopping for a student or someone who wants a minimal-fuss solution for mostly browsing the web.
We’re also compiling some worthwhile deals on laptop peripherals and accessories, like cases, cables, and hubs we like. Here are our top picks among laptop and laptop-related deals for this Black Friday.
The best MacBook deals
Apple MacBook Air 13 (2025, M4)

Where to Buy:
- The 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 is $949 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon — the same discount as the 13-inch. It’s much the same excellent computer as the 13-inch version, just with a bigger screen, more battery life, and better speakers. Read our review.
Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2025, M5)

Where to Buy:
- If you need to sizable step up in power for a Mac laptop, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro processor is $1,749 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It has a 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD like the base M5 model, but 24GB of RAM and faster Thunderbolt 5 ports. You can also step up to a bigger and beefier 16-inch version with a 14-core / 20-core M4 Pro chip, 48GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD for around $2,535 ($360 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.
- At the top of Apple’s MacBook range, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max chip, 36GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is $3,059 (around $440 off) at Amazon. It’s a lot of computer for those who need a laptop with about as much power and speed as you can get. Read our review.
- The Mac Mini isn’t a laptop, but it’s one of the best bargains for a lot of computing power in a wildly small desktop. The base M4 model is $479 ($120 off) at Best Buy and Amazon, while the more powerful M4 Pro version is $1,199.99 ($200 off) at Amazon. If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, there’s no better deal for this kind of power.
The best Windows laptop deals
Microsoft Surface Laptop, 13-inch

Where to Buy:
- In addition to the base-model 13-inch Surface Laptop hitting a new low of $549.99 ($350 off) at Best Buy, Amazon, and direct from Microsoft, the same model with 512GB storage is $749.99 ($250 off) at Amazon.
- If you want a Surface with a slightly bigger, nicer display and a higher-end Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Surface Laptop 7th Edition (13.8-inch) from 2024 is on sale for $899.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s still a great machine if you prioritize battery life on Windows and want a nice screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2304 x 1536 resolution. Read our review.
Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch

Where to Buy:
- Microsoft’s flagship 13-inch Surface Pro is also on a big discount, selling for as low as $749.99 ($450 off) at Microsoft with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. It’s quite a deal, though the keyboard and stylus are sold separately. The convertible tablet has great battery life and solid performance. It’s much more useful as a full 2-in-1 laptop once you get the keyboard and stylus, which are available on Amazon (via a third party) for $307.89 (about $92 off). The Flex version of the keyboard with Bluetooth is particularly handy, especially if you use the Surface Pro with an external monitor.
- The Asus Zenbook A14 is selling for an all-time low of $549.99 ($450 off) at Best Buy. If you want a super-light laptop with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip for long battery life, the Zenbook is an impressive offering — especially since it has an OLED display to boot. I first handled this thing at CES, and the combination of its lightweight 2.4-pound chassis, unique finish with earthy colors, port selection, and OLED screen was really impressive. Now, at this price? It’s quite compelling.
- I’m currently testing the 14-inch HP OmniBook 5 and liking it, especially for the value it offers. It’s very affordable for a laptop with an OLED display and marathon battery life, and it’s just $529.99 ($170 off MSRP) at Amazon or $499.99 ($200 off) direct from HP. Its base Snapdragon X1 Plus chip isn’t very speedy, but it’s manageable if you’re not going too wild on multitasking. But the star of the show is this nice 1920 x 1200 OLED panel for such a low, low price.
- The Acer Swift 16 AI is once again available for a steal of $749.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy. Much like the Swift 14 AI that I reviewed, t’s got lots of ports and a great Intel Lunar Lake CPU that’s both powerful and power-efficient. But instead of the Swift 14’s meager 1920 x 1200 IPS display it’s got a bigger 16-inch OLED with 2880 x 1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh.
The best gaming laptop deals
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)

Where to Buy:
- The larger Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and RTX 5070 Ti GPU is $2,179.99 ($450 off) at Best Buy. The 16-inch, like its smaller counterpart, offers a lovely OLED display, good graphics performance for its size and thickness, and battery life that gets you through most of a busy day. All this, in a gaming laptop with a large display that travels quite easily.
- The base Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop with a last-gen Intel Raptor Lake 14650HX CPU, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is $1,199.99 ($300 off) at Amazon. For a higher-end model that doesn’t skyrocket in price, the Strix G16 with AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070 Ti is $1,599.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy. Strix models are much chunkier than their ROG Zephyrus cousins, but they’re a better deal if you prioritize performance over portability.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16-inch, Intel)

Where to Buy:
- The Lenovo Legion 7i above is one of my preferred gaming laptops if you like a beefy boy with high-end RTX 5080 graphics, but a solid alternative for less is the similarly-specced HP Omen Max 16. The Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is just $1,899.99 ($1,400 off) direct from HP. It’s also at Best Buy with a 2TB SSD for $2,599.99 ($560 off), but the one at HP is the screaming deal that you should nab before it’s gone (you can always do your own SSD upgrade later).
HP Victus 15 (2025, RTX 4050)

Where to Buy:
Razer Blade 16 (2025, RTX 5090)

Where to Buy:
The best Chromebook deals
- The closest competitor to the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, which is on sale for a new low of $599.99 ($50 off) direct from Lenovo. It’s the base model with a non-touch OLED display, 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and the power-sipping MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor. The higher-end $749 model with a touchscreen that I tested in my review is slightly better, but these kinds of Chromebooks rarely go on sale.
- The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is selling for $549.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy. I prefer the above Lenovo and Acer above, but the Samsung is still a solid Chromebook with a lovely OLED display and a number pad (if that’s important to you). But its display is an outdated 16:9 aspect ratio that’s better for consuming video content than viewing more on screen as you get work done.
The best deals on laptop accessories
Anker Laptop Power Bank

Where to Buy:
- Keychron is discounting various models of its keyboards on its site and on Amazon, and if you spend $300 or more at Keychron’s site you get an additional $30 off. There are myriad options of mechanical keyboards from Keychron, including different layouts and switch types. For a good starter board filled with features, check out the Keychron V1 Max that’s currently $91.99 ($23 off) at Amazon and direct from Keychron. Read our buying guide on affordable mechanical keyboards.
- For an absolute steal of a mechanical keyboard with a hefty metal chassis, check out the Epomaker P75 with Wisteria linear switches for just $63.99 ($12 off) at Amazon. It’s got a bold, crisp, and slightly loud typing sound but it can be music to the ears of someone who likes a louder clack to their keys. Plus, it supports wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless modes, complete with a little magnetic garage to house the USB dongle when not in use.
- The Epomaker x Aula F75 mechanical keyboard with Leobog Reaper switches is just $53.59 (around $26 off) at Amazon. This is a banger of a budget keyboard that sounds satisfyingly creamy with every key stroke. There’s a reason TikTok is kind of obsessed with it.
- One of my favorite mice, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, is $129.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. It’s the perfect mouse if you want something lightweight and sensitive enough for competitive gaming while still being comfy and low-key looking for even long hours at the office. It also has a satisfying and unique click sound that’s slightly deeper than most mice. Read our hands-on.
- For a comfy ergonomic mouse, check out the Logitech MX Vertical that’s on sale for $97.49 ($22 off) at Amazon or for $99.99 at Best Buy. It supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless via an included USB receiver, and its upright 57 degree angle keeps your wrist at a comfy handshake-like position. Read our impressions.
CalDigit TS4

Where to Buy:
- For a much more affordable mouse that handles great and goes a little harder on the gamer aesthetic, the wired Razer Basilisk V3 is just $29.44 (about $41 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Even at that price, you get 11 programmable buttons, a 26,000 DPI sensor, and loads of RGB lighting.
- Pluggable’s 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 dock is $215.96 ($64 off) at Amazon. The chunky hub has a plethora of ports and support for dual 4K displays (HDMI and DisplayPort) as well as 100W USB-C charging.
- The Shure MV7 Plus is a popular plug-and-play mic for high quality live streaming and podcasting, and it’s $269.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. It shares a lot in common with the legendary SM7b it’s based on, but it’s got both XLR and simple USB connections for a no-fuss setup.
- Peak Design is running a Black Friday sale with up to 30 percent off everything it makes, and that includes its Everyday Backpack (now $223.96 instead of $279.95) and Everyday Messenger bags (now $199.96 instead of $249.95). They’re some of my favorite laptop / commuter bags if you’re the type to carry photo or video equipment. I use and alternate between the original 30L Everyday Backpack and smaller 15L Everyday Backpack Zip (now $159.96 instead of $199.95) — depending on what I need to carry.

Ninja’s versatile Creami ice cream maker hits an all-time low for Black Friday
Ice cream in December? Oh hell yeah. Ninja’s Creami Scoop & Swirl ice cream maker is 20 percent off for Black Friday, dropping it to a new all-time low of $279.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and SharkNinja’s online storefront. It can make hard and soft serve ice cream, and, as my colleague Jen Tuohy found this summer, you can make some pretty fun recipes with it.
Ninja Creami Scoop & Swirl

Where to Buy:
The Ninja Creami makes ice cream on one side, which you then dispense as soft-serve on the other. Just a heads-up: it takes about 24 hours to freeze the ice cream. But you can also turn store-bought ice cream into soft serve “in seconds,” according to our reviewer. Tuohy also found online communities with fun recipes, so she tried a few other things.
In her words, “I’ve also enjoyed creating unusual frozen delights in the Ninja. Inspired by a very active Reddit forum, we tried frozen tomato soup (really yummy), fresh watermelon mixed with condensed milk (ah-ma-zing), and my son’s morning protein smoothies in frozen form — the perfect way to prep him for a day of lifeguarding at the local pool.“
