Where to Buy:
13-inch MacBook Air (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
Powered by the M4 chip, Apple’s latest 13-inch MacBook Air is faster than its predecessor and offers double the base RAM. It can also connect to two external displays with the lid open, unlike prior models, and features an improved 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
AirPods 4
Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to the company’s base-model wireless earbuds. The hard, plastic buds feature improved audio over the third-gen model, along with deep iOS integration and spatial audio with head tracking. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- The AirPods Max (USB-C) are Apple’s latest pair of over-ear headphones, and they’re $399.99 ($150 off) at Best Buy
and Walmart. The headphones can last up to 20 hours per charge. The AirPods Max also support personalized Spatial Audio for better performance when listening to Dolby Atmos-ready tracks. Read our review. - Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 processor is still a great laptop for most people, despite being a bit old, and Best Buy has discounted it to $599 ($200 off). It has the same design as the M4 MacBook Air, and comes with 16GB of RAM.
- 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 AirTags
Apple’s AirTags are unobtrusive, waterproof, and tap into the massive Find My network for out-of-range locating.
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 down to $1,699 ($300 off) at 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 $2,499 ($400 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 $1,249.99 ($150 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)
The M5-equipped MacBook Pro is mostly a chip bump from the M4 model of 2024. But it remains an excellent choice for beginners and students in creative fields. Read our review.
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 $699 ($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 Series 11 (42mm, GPS)
Although the Apple Watch Series 11 is the same size as its predecessor, it features a 5G cellular modem, a display that’s twice as durable, and slightly improved battery life. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Apple Watch SE 3
The Apple Watch SE 3 offers some big upgrades over its predecessor, including an always-on display, allowing you to glance at the time or unread notifications. It also has Apple’s powerful S10 chip, which enables on-device Siri requests. Read our review.
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.
11-inch iPad Air M3
The new 11-inch iPad Air comes with Apple’s M3 chip and GPU upgrades. It’s available in dark gray, blue, purple, and a “starlight” cream shade. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
iPad (2025)
Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use. Its high resolution screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- The Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black is back down to $599 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, one of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year. The upgrades to the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 are relatively minor, so you may as well save as much as possible if you want Apple’s most rugged smartwatch. The Ultra 2 comes in one size — 49mm — and is geared more toward athletic types. It also features a bright display and fantastic battery life, though the Ultra 3 can last longer between charges.
iPad Mini (2024)
The seventh-gen iPad Mini comes with Apple’s A17 Pro chip and support for Apple Intelligence. It’s also compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and offers faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds. Read our review.

Where to Buy:
Headphone and earbud deals
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Bose’s last-gen flagship headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 that offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Sony WH-1000XM6
Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5. Read our initial impressions.
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.
- The Google Pixel Buds 2A are currently on sale for an all-time low of $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store. Google’s latest pair of wireless earbuds feature crisp sound quality, a comfortable design, and solid active noise cancellation, which is great considering the budget-friendly price tag. They even offer built-in support for Gemini and, unlike the entry-level AirPods, a purple option! Read our review.

Where to Buy:
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (second-gen)
The second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds. They’re a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- Now through December 1st, you can snag Sony’s WF-1000XM5 earbuds for around $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.
- Technics’ EAH-AZ100s are a premium pair of wireless earbuds currently available for an all-time low of around $219.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and
B&H Photo. The earbuds’ key feature is that they support three-device multipoint audio, so you can switch between a trio of sources seamlessly. They also sound great (Technics’ app has a five-band EQ, if you’d like to make tweaks), feel comfortable to wear thanks to a slimmed-down design, and sound excellent. Read our review.
Soundcore Space One
The Space One headphones can’t compete with higher-end ANC models from Sony or Bose, but they offer great sound, marathon battery life, and active noise cancellation for under $70.
Where to Buy:
Nothing Ear (a)
Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.
Where to Buy:
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2
The OpenRun Pro 2 are Shokz’s best bone conduction headphones yet, with better sound and more bass than their predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.

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.

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.
- 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.
Fitbit Sense 2
The Sense 2 delivers premium health tracking, highlighted by top-tier stress sensing via continuous EDA and heart-rate variability. It also offers strong battery life and monitors sleep, ECG, and temperature. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

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
The Venu 3S remains our favorite Garmin smartwatch. It’s a comfortable wearable with up to 10 days of battery life and a vibrant 1.2-inch OLED display, not to mention solid sleep tracking, Atrial Fibrillation detection, and a built-in EKG reader. Read our review.
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 around $249.95 ($150 off) at Amazon (Best Buy and
Samsungare also selling it for $279.99). 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 — aren’t available when paired with another Android phone.

TV and streaming device deals

You’ll need a Hue Bridge to use them, but a three-pack of its 60W full-color bulbs is down to $69.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, which is a great deal considering that nets out to just $23 per bulb.

- 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
Ecovacs’ Deebot T50 Max Pro is a robot vacuum / mop combo with tangle-resistant brushes, a side brush for cleaning corners, and deep carpet cleaning capabilities. Its charging station thoroughly cleans and dries its mopping pads automatically upon its return, and it supports Matter, allowing you to easily integrate it into any smart home.
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.

Soundbar and speaker deals
Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6
Sony’s Bravia Theater Bar 6 is a 3.1.2 audio system, meaning the soundbar comes with a wireless subwoofer and features multiple drivers pointed at you — and upward — for playing Dolby Atmos audio. You can also purchase the soundbar in a bundle with rear speakers if you want a more traditional surround sound setup.
Where to Buy:
- JBL’s Charge 6 is marked down to an all-time low of $129.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. 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.
- The JBL Flip 7 has returned to its all-time low of around $109.95 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and REI.

Where to Buy:
- The Bose SoundLink Plus is on sale for $179.99 ($90 off) at Amazon, 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. - 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.

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.
- 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.

Microsoft Surface Laptop, 13-inch
Microsoft’s slightly smaller, entry-level Surface Laptop trims some of the size and a few features from its bigger 13.8-inch counterpart, but it maintains excellent battery life and solid performance. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- In addition to the base-model 13-inch Surface Laptop hitting a
new low of $549.99 ($350 off) at Amazon,the same model with 512GB storage is down to $799.99 ($200 off)$729.99 ($270 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
Microsoft’s latest Surface Pro is smaller, with a new design and updated keyboard. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Arm64 Snapdragon X Plus chip. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- Microsoft’s flagship 13-inch Surface Pro is also receiving 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.
- We’re 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 around $519.99 ($180 off MSRP) at
Amazonand 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)
Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. The base model with RTX 5060 graphics is fairly thin at around 0.63 inches, while the highest-end model with RTX 5070 Ti is a little thicker.
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)
Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i is a well built gaming laptop with a lovely 2.5K OLED display and a powerful RTX 5080 GPU, enough to handle 4K gaming on an external monitor. Its only major downsides are a lack of face or fingerprint unlocking and Lenovo’s tendency to pre-load some annoying bloatware.
Where to Buy:
- The Lenovo Legion 7i above is one of our 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 $2,474.99
$2,559.99 ($600 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). - If you want a cheap(er) OLED-equipped Lenovo laptop, check out the Yoga Slim 7x at Best Buy, where you can grab it for $749.99 ($550 off). It’s got 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a Snapdragon X Elite processor that’s speedy and battery-efficient. Just make sure to check whether any specialized software you require is Windows on Arm-compatible.
- While not a gaming laptop, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition is a fairly thin (though not-so-light) productivity machine that can dabble in content creation thanks to its RTX 5060 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. It also has a 3200 x 2000 resolution OLED display and is on sale for Cyber Monday at Best Buy, where you can pick it up for $1,649.99 ($550 off).
Razer Blade 16 (2025, RTX 5090)
Razer’s latest and greatest version of its Blade 16 laptop returns to a thinner, more travel-friendly chassis. It comes with RTX 50-series GPU options but each configuration features an excellent OLED display. Read our review.
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 we tested for our review is slightly better, but these kinds of Chromebooks rarely go on sale.

Where to Buy:
- Nintendo’s Black Friday discounts are still available, allowing you to save $30 on several fantastic Switch titles that every owner should consider playing. Games like
Super Mario Odyssey are $30 instead of $60.

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 $37.04 ($22 off) when you clip the on-page coupon, which is a new low. The wireless controller features drift-resistant Hall effect joysticks, Hall effect magnetic triggers, and Hall effect analog triggers. You can use GameSir’s Nexus app (available on PC and the Xbox store) to remap buttons and make other adjustments to optimize it for your favorite games.- Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller is still on sale at Amazon,
Walmart, and Best Buy starting at $39.99 ($25 off) for Cyber Monday. It doesn’t have bells and whistles like programmable buttons or RGB lighting, but in our experience, it’s one of the most reliable controllers around. Its batteries don’t need to be swapped out very often, and that inconvenience is outweighed by not having to plug in a wire every time you want to play a game.
Meta Quest 3S
The Meta Quest 3S is a battery-powered standalone VR headset runs the same chipset as the pricier Quest 3, along with the lenses and screen resolution as the Quest 2. It can also be connected to a PC to play VR games like Half-Life Alyx. Read our review.

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.
Samsung microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch 2 has 256GB of storage, but that won’t get you very far if you’ve built up a medium-sized digital game library. Samsung’s Nintendo-branded 256GB microSD express card doubles the console’s available storage. It doesn’t require any tools to install, games stored on the microSD express card will run virtually identically to those saved on the Switch 2’s onboard storage.

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.Happy Salmon is currently matching its all-time low of $6.50 (about $7 off) at Amazon.

The best Apple deals you can still shop in Cyber Monday’s final hours
If you’re planning to gift an Apple device this holiday season — or treat yourself — time is now running out to take advantage of the latest Cyber Monday promos. The annual shopping holiday is already down to its final hours, and we’re starting to see some items go up in price or out of stock. That’s a shame, given that the current batch of Apple deals is one of the best we’ve seen all year across several categories.
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. Last-gen models are also cheaper than ever right now, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 going for a healthy $200 off — a welcome discount if you’d rather not splurge for the newer, more expensive Watch Ultra 3, which is a relatively iterative upgrade.
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.

- 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 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 M4 MacBook Pro.
- If you’re in the market for a desktop and don’t mind supplying your own monitor, 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 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.

Where to Buy:
- Nomad’s ChargeKey V2 is a six-inch USB-C cable with a loop that allows you to attach it to your keyring, and it’s available for around $22 ($7 off) from Nomad.

The accessory is a convenient way to make sure you never leave home without a charging cable.
- The Nomad Tracking Card Air is currently down to $21.75 ($7.25 off) at Amazon in both
blackand white. It’s also at Nomad’s website for $22 ($7 off), though it’s currently backordered and won’t ship until early December. 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.

These Verge-approved gifts are still available for up to 60 percent off for Cyber Monday
If you’re hoping to whittle down your wish list before the holiday panic truly sets in, Cyber Monday presents a prime opportunity. Many of the tech-y gifts we recommend for Christmas, graduation, Mother’s Day, and other celebratory events throughout the year are receiving their steepest discounts to date. These aren’t random picks, either; they’re items we’ve tested, reviewed, or received as presents ourselves.
The deals themselves span a wide range of categories and price points, making it easy to find something for everyone on your list. For instance, we’re currently seeing steep discounts on the latest AirPods Pro, Kindles, Nintendo Switch 2 controllers, and even a digital photo frame that looks surprisingly real. And while the majority of the picks here are gadgets, there are also Wes Anderson movies, cute kitchen utensils, and toolkits to consider. We’ve even included some basic necessities, because everyone deserves a clever charging cable.
Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro
The Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro combines a portable color-changing smart lamp with a Bluetooth speaker. Through the Govee app, you can customize its LEDs to sync with your music, or to display the light scene of your choice. It’ll let you set the mood for a party or for a night of studying.
Where to Buy:
Aura Aspen
Even if your loved ones lives halfway around the world, the Aura Aspen can help them feel close. The new 12-inch display looks more akin to a traditional photo frame than other models, in part due to an antiglare screen, slim bezels, and a 4:3 aspect ratio. It can also automatically showcase images via Google Photos, iCloud Photos, or a companion app, the latter of which even allows for text captions.
Where to Buy:
GuliKit ES Pro controller
Just because GuliKit’s ES Pro costs significantly less than Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller doesn’t mean it’s cheaply made. It’s equipped with anti-drift TMR joysticks with adjustable sensitivity, an eight-direction D-pad, and the rare ability to wake the Switch 2. Not bad for a gamepad that retails for a third of the price.
Where to Buy:
Apple AirTag
Whether they’re planning to take a vacation or just prone to losing things, an AirTag is a smart, stress-saving gift. The UWB Bluetooth trackers tap into Apple’s vast Find My network, letting you keep an eye out and quickly recover lost luggage, keys, passports, and other items using little more than a quick glance at your iPhone.
Where to Buy:
Amazon Kindle (2024)
There are few better ways to pass the time than getting lost in a good book. The base Kindle is our favorite budget e-reader, with a sharp 6-inch display, an adjustable frontlight, and a battery that can last for up to six weeks. And at just 158 grams, its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and hold for extended reading sessions.
Where to Buy:
Twelve South PowerBug
Part wall wart, part magnetic wireless charger, Twelve South’s StandBy-ready PowerBug is about as unique as chargers come.

Where to Buy:
Apple AirPods Pro 3
Whether your giftee prefers to rock out to Sabrina Carpenter or Stravinsky, the AirPods Pro 3 deliver. Apple’s latest pair of earbuds offer improved ANC and sound, a more comfortable design, and real-time fitness tracking courtesy of a new heart rate sensor. That makes them well suited for more than just listening to tunes.
Where to Buy:
Amazfit Active 2
It’s still hard believe the Amazfit Active 2 retails for less than $100. The humble smartwatch includes everything from offline navigation and voice commands to a strength training mode that can auto-detect sets, reps, and rest periods. It also features a vivid OLED display and a super stylish watchface — which isn’t something often associated with affordable fitness trackers.
Where to Buy:
The Wes Anderson Archive
Wes Anderson’s directing style is so distinct that it’s spawned a series of books dedicated to its aesthetic. The Wes Anderson Archive collects all of his films from Bottle Rocket through The French Dispatch in a single box set. The 20-disc trove includes every film on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray, plus more than 25 hours of special features and 10 illustrated booklets containing essays and interviews.
Where to Buy:
Hoto Hand Tool Set
Hoto’s electric screwdrivers are a mainstay at The Verge, and the company’s Hand Tool Set is just as eye-catching. All of the included components, from the needlenose pliers and claw hammer to the textured carrying case, showcase a handsome minimalist design that’s far more attractive than the usual white-label fare. It makes for an attractive starter kit, if nothing else.
Where to Buy:
Blink Video Doorbell (second-gen)
The latest Blink Video Doorbell is a great pick for anyone who values peace of mind (or doesn’t want to get off the couch to answer the door). It offers a 1080p head-to-toe view and more accurate motion alerts than its predecessor, letting your giftee monitor their door wherever they are. The battery-powered buzzer can even be hardwired, extending its longevity.
Where to Buy:
Victrola Willow Retro Radio
Victrola’s AM / FM Bluetooth radio features a retro-inspired design, complete with an analog tuner and dials for controlling the volume, bass and treble, and different listening modes. The wood finish, rotary dial, and gold accents really complete the vintage look, while its compact design makes it easy to place on a desk or bookshelf.
Where to Buy:
Baseus Free2Pull Retractable USB-C Cable 100W
Most people don’t want to wrangle cables… and who can blame them? Not us, which is why several folks at The Verge own Baseus’ handy, retractable USB-C option. The Free2Pull comes in two sizes, each of which conveniently pulls the excess cable into a small puck that’s far tidier and easier to manage than a loose cord.
Where to Buy:
FlashFinder
Two things most people need at some point are a flashlight and a Bluetooth tracker. So why not gift both devices at once? The FlashFinder is a rechargeable, 300-lumen light outfitted with a magnetic mount you can track via Apple’s Find My network, so you never have to worry about trying to find the flashlight — or your keys — again.
Where to Buy:

Where to Buy:

More importantly, it offers integration with Apple’s vast Find My network, allowing you to track its location. Its battery can last up to five months, too, and it can be topped off on a Qi wireless charger.
Where to Buy:
HoverAir X1 drone
Unless you’re filming cinematic shots in Hollywood, you don’t necessarily need a fancy quadcopter. HoverAir’s so-called “selfie drone” is a great budget alternative to more premium models from DJI, with top-mounted controls, excellent object tracking, and a max video resolution of 2.7K / 30fps. And did we mention it can fit in your pocket? Because it can.
Where to Buy:
Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light
Glocusent’s Bookmark Style Reading Light is the perfect gift for those who burn the midnight oil reading. The clip-on USB light offers a lightweight design and multiple brightness levels, providing a soft, warm glow that’s dim enough that it won’t disturb anyone else trying to get some shut-eye nearby.
Where to Buy:
Ototo Nessie ladle
Cooking feels a lot less like a chore with Ototo’s Nessie ladle. I mean, how do you not smile when you see the Loch Ness Monster peeking out from inside your soup? The cute, 10-inch gag gift is great for serving soups and sauces, too, especially since it can stand on its own and features a heat-resistant silicone design.
Where to Buy:
Xreal One AR glasses
The Xreal One AR glasses put the equivalent of a 120Hz 147-inch screen in front of your eyes. The glasses can be connected to a smartphone, computer, and some handheld gaming PCs via USB-C. The glasses mirror your gadget’s display, so you can use them as an external monitor when working in addition to gaming and watching movies.

Govee’s latest RGB-equipped speaker is 25 percent off for Cyber Monday
Whether you’re looking to liven up an upcoming holiday party or pick up a gift that will literally brighten your loved one’s day, Govee’s Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL is a great option. It normally retails for $179.99; however, for Cyber Monday, the hybrid gadget is on sale for a new low of $134.99 ($45 off) at Amazon and directly from Govee.
Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL
Where to Buy:
Govee’s RGB smart lamp can add a splash of color to any space, with 210 customizable LED beads that also provide up to 600 lumens of tunable white light, which makes it a solid reading lamp as well. It can display millions of hues with adjustable brightness and warmth settings, and Govee includes more than 100 preset light scenes — 16 of which sync to music — allowing you to leverage soothing, rainstorm-inspired effects or set more upbeat ambiance that’s perfect for dance parties. What’s also nice is that the Wi-Fi-enabled lamp is compatible with Matter, so you can turn it on and off with your voice via all the major smart home platforms, as well as the app.
What really makes the lamp shine, however, is that you can use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker. While it’s not going to deliver the kind of big sound or deep bass associated with a dedicated party speaker like the JBL Pulse 5, it’s still great for small gatherings, offering loud, clear audio even at higher volumes. You can even pair two lamps together for stereo sound and, thanks to its built-in 5,200mAh battery, easily move it around the house or take it with you to the porch. Just note that it’s not weatherproof, so you’ll want to avoid taking it out in the rain.

Samsung’s Z TriFold is official and it looks like a tablet with a phone attached
Samsung is officially announcing the Z TriFold, its much-anticipated foldable with not one, but two hinges. It’ll launch first in Korea on December 12th, with a US launch planned for the first quarter of 2026. There’s no price just yet, but if a phone with one hinge costs $2,000, you should probably start saving your pennies nickels for this one.
The TriFold’s inner screen measures 10 inches on the diagonal, with a 2160 x 1584 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that goes all the way down to 1Hz. That’s a lot of screen. You can run three apps vertically side by side on it, and even use Samsung’s DeX desktop environment in a standalone mode without a separate display. On paper, the TriFold’s outer screen looks a lot like the one on the Z Fold 7. It’s a 6.5-inch 1080p display with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
Each of the TriFold’s three panels has a slightly different thickness. The center panel is the thickest at 4.2mm, and it houses a USB-C port on the bottom edge. The thinnest panel measures just 3.9mm thick, including a physical SIM tray, and the other panel is 4.0mm thick. Those two sides fold inward over the center panel, unlike Huawei’s Mate XT, which folds in a Z shape and uses part of the inner screen when folded.
The TriFold measures 12.9mm thick when it’s folded — 4.7mm thicker than a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s also thicker than a Z Fold 7, which is 8.9mm when you fold it, but it’s not far off the previous Z Fold 6 which is 12.1mm folded.
Although it folds differently, the Z TriFold is pretty close in size and weight to Huawei’s Mate XT and most recent XTs. The Z TriFold is just a little thicker when folded — 12.9mm versus 12.8mm — and weighs 309 grams compared to the 298g XT.
The back panel is a “ceramic-glass fiber-reinforced polymer” designed to resist cracking. The device’s hinges are two different sizes, both with a dual-rail design protected by a titanium housing. Like Samsung’s other foldables, the TriFold is rated IP48 — fully water resistant, but not dust-tight.
With all that going on inside the TriFold, Samsung has still managed to squeeze in three rear cameras: a 200-megapixel f/1.7 wide angle; a 12-megapixel ultrawide; and a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto. Both the cover screen and inner screen include a 10-megapixel selfie camera as well. Each of the phone’s panels houses a battery as well, adding up to a 5,600mAh capacity. The whole thing is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, like the S25 series, and includes 16GB of RAM.
One thing I’m not seeing on the TriFold’s spec sheet? S Pen compatibility. Samsung spokesperson Elise Sembach confirmed to The Verge over email that the TriFold lacks support for the company’s Bluetooth stylus. The Z Fold used to include stylus support, but that ended with the most recent Z Fold 7. In the meantime, Samsung isn’t sharing how much the TriFold will cost — either in Korea or in the US.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are $50 off, but only until the end of Cyber Monday
Unless you want an open-style clip bud, getting high-quality workout earbuds has become more difficult in the past few years. Companies aren’t focusing on them as much, or are completely leaving the market as Jabra did at the end of 2024. Thankfully, some of the best workout earbuds — the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 — are not only still around, but were revamped at the beginning of the year. And for the remainder of Cyber Monday, they’re on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $199.95 ($50 off), nearly matching their all-time low.
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
Where to Buy:
The original Powerbeats Pro were a go-to for me when I was training for a half-marathon before the pandemic. The main reason is their ear hook design, which curves around the back of the ear, keeping them firmly in place. It didn’t matter if I was running on the street, hitting the trails, or doing sprint interval training; I never once worried about them falling out. The Pro 2 improve on that design with more flexible, more robust ear hooks that provide an excellent fit and allow them to withstand any unwanted abuse. Those who wear glasses might find the hooks uncomfortable, but I found that, once I figured out how to properly position them, it wasn’t an issue.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 also feature heart rate monitoring — predating Apple’s newer AirPods Pro 3. For those who don’t have an Apple Watch or want to use a chest strap, it’s a nice alternative, especially since I found it to be relatively accurate in my testing. The heart rate sensors can integrate with Apple Fitness (added after launch) and a handful of third-party apps, too, and they work with both Apple and Android products. A benefit of the Beats brand over Apple.
Sound quality for music with the Powerbeats Pro 2 is good, with enough of the driving bass we all crave for workout sessions. The active noise cancellation also does a great job of dealing with loud environments, and they work well for calls, with noise suppression that tunes out wind noise.
While the included carrying case is significantly smaller than the previous version, it’s still larger than what you get with most modern earbuds, given the space required for the ear hooks. This time around, however, it also supports wireless charging, which was sorely missing from the original Powerbeats Pro.
If you’ve been looking for new workout earbuds, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are a terrific choice, and at their Cyber Monday pricing, they’re a great value.

My favorite TVs, streaming devices, and soundbars are still up to 50% off for Cyber Monday
Black Friday might have passed, but that doesn’t mean the holiday deals are gone. You can still find low prices on excellent TVs, streaming devices, and soundbars through Cyber Monday. I’ve found the best of these deals to level up your home theater setup, and make sure that your holiday season (and every day after) is filled with the best picture and sound quality for your space.
Cyber Monday usually offers great deals on products from last year, as retailers attempt to clear their inventory, but this year there’s also amazing pricing — more than I’ve seen in the past — on current models. And those prices are across all the major manufacturers, with deals on mini-LED (great for a bright room) or OLED and QD-OLED TVs, which deliver the best contrast you can get with a dynamic image. Atmos soundbars will send sounds zooming around your room, and streaming devices and disc players serve up your favorite content. Take a look at what I’ve lined up for you.
4K TV deals
Hisense U65QF TV (2025)
While getting a high-end TV for $2,000 during Cyber Monday is great, not everyone wants to spend that much. The Hisense U6 might be an entry-level model, but it still offers great performance for the price — especially when that price is 50 percent off and under $400.
Where to Buy:
Sony Bravia 8 II
Sony TVs don’t see the same level of discounts as competitors, so being able to save $1,000 or more on the winner of the Value Electronics “King of TV” 2025 shootout (where The Verge’s own Nilay Patel was a judge) is a huge opportunity. It’s a fantastic OLED TV that’s sure to please.
Where to Buy:
- 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 at 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.
- Hisense’s 65-inch S7N Canvas TV is the company’s answer to Samsung’s popular Frame TV, one you can currently grab for $847.99 ($452 off) at Amazon, which is about $48 shy of its best price to date. The 4K set features 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 also has 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.
Hisense U7 Series ULED TV (2025)
It’s always more immersive to watch TV and movies on a bigger screen, but up until the last few years that required a projector. Now, TVs like the 100-inch Hisense U7 deliver a brighter image than any projector ever could for a fraction of the cost.
Where to Buy:
Roku Pro Series 4K TV
Roku’s latest Pro 4K TV has a 120Hz refresh rate, four HDMI ports (two of which are 2.1), full-array local dimming for even brightness, and support for both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR 10 Plus for better color accuracy. It also works with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, making it easy to integrate into most smart homes.
Where to Buy:
- LG’s 55-inch C5 OLED is down to around $1,196.99 ($803 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and LG’s online storefront, which remains one of its better prices to date. The midrange 4K TV is a good entry point into the world of OLED technology, offering a solid balance 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 also handles glare and ambient light better than the step-down B5; however, OLED panels are still not ideal for really bright rooms.
TV source and streaming device deals
Google TV Streamer (4K)
Google’s terrific TV Streamer (4K) is the company’s best attempt at a streaming device yet, with built-in ethernet, an excellent interface, and smart home compatibility with both Matter and Thread. Read our review.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023)
Amazon’s latest streaming stick is faster than its predecessor with Wi-Fi 6E and double the storage. It also now displays widgets and artwork when idle while continuing to offer Alexa integration. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Roku Ultra
Roku’s latest Ultra streamer has built-in ethernet, a rechargeable voice remote with backlit buttons, and AirPlay 2 support. You can also control it with Amazon Alexa through a compatible smart speaker. The Roku Channel app lets you stream over 400 free live TV stations, plus exclusive movies like Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
Where to Buy:
- It was a dark day in the AV world when Oppo stopped making its universal disc players, but in 2022, Magnetar filled that void with the release of the UDP800, and then the UDP900 in 2023. Both were lauded by enthusiasts. Magnetar is following them up with MKII versions of each model, which are shipping as of today. To celebrate, Magnetar is offering Cyber Monday sale pricing through its website: $1,599.99 for the UDP800 MKII ($200 off) and $2,999.99 for the UDP900 MKII ($300 off). While they might be expensive, if you’re a diehard audio and video fan with the means, there aren’t better players available.
Soundbar deals
Sonos Arc Ultra
The Arc Ultra surpasses the original Arc soundbar with more immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound, much better bass, and the ability to play music over Bluetooth.
Where to Buy:
- In my opinion, upgrading your TV’s sound is an absolute must for a truly immersive home theater experience. And another single soundbar option that delivers surprisingly full sound and Atmos performance for its size is the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. It’s priced at $699 for Cyber Monday (that’s 22 percent off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy (where it’s $0.99 more). It sounds great with both movies and music, and has a nice slim profile that’s low enough for practically any TV.
- Sometimes, for a secondary TV setup in a guest room or den, you just need something cheap that gets the job done. The Roku Streambar SE is just that. I wouldn’t use it as a main system, but if you want to improve the sound from a TV that you only use occasionally, the Streambar gets the job done. It’s narrow, so it fits well with smaller TV sizes, and includes wireless playback options. Not to mention, it doubles as a 4K HDR streaming stick, with HDMI-out. And during Cyber Monday, it’s only $75.04 (just under $25 off) at Amazon and Walmart.
Sonos Beam (second-gen)
The Sonos Beam (second-gen) is a compact soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos and can stream music from a plethora of services. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Samsung Q990F Soundbar System
If you want to bring your home theater to the next level, the Samsung Q990F is the answer. The Q990 series has been at the top of best lists for years, and for good reason. It delivers an excellent Atmos experience with clear dialogue and booming bass to fully immerse you in whatever you’re watching.
Where to Buy:
Update, December 1st: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability and several new deals, including those for Hisense’s S7N Canvas TV and Roku’s Pro Series 4K TV. Sheena Vasani also contributed to this post.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is $70 off, beating its Black Friday price
Cyber Monday is usually just a repeat of Black Friday, but occasionally the annual, online-focused shopping event brings something even better. For example, the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 with GPS is even cheaper than it was a few days ago, with a fresh $70 discount that brings the 2025 model down to $329 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. For larger wrists (or those who just want a bigger watch), the 46mm model with GPS costs $359 (also $70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS)
Where to Buy:
Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm, GPS)
Where to Buy:
The Apple Watch Series 11 improves upon the excellent Apple Watch Series 10 with small but welcome improvements that might make it worth buying for you. For instance, it’s Apple’s slimmest smartwatch to date, with a display that the company claims is twice as durable and more scratch-resistant. Battery life has increased up to 24 hours per charge on the GPS / Wi-Fi model — if you instead opt for the more costly LTE model, you’ll get a watch with a power-efficient 5G modem that won’t drain the battery too quickly.
And, of course, the Series 11 keeps everything we loved about its predecessor. The wide-angle OLED display is still a stunner and easy to read at a glance, and performance remains snappy thanks to Apple’s S10 SiP chip. It also includes a wide range of health features, including FDA-cleared hypertension notifications and sleep apnea detection, along with EKGs and blood oxygen measurements. You also get access to watchOS 26 features like Sleep Score, the wrist-flick gesture, and even the ability to use the Notes app on your wrist. Plus, fast-charging rounds things out, letting you charge the Series 11 from zero to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.
