Black Friday 2023 is finally here, and if you’re just getting around to your holiday shopping, there are a ton of great deals to be had across the internet. Black Friday may still technically be one day, but we’ve been seeing solid early Black Friday deals throughout the entirety of November. Thankfully, many of them are still around today and they’ve joined a new crop of deals that have popped up for the post-Thanksgiving shopping event. We at Engadget care most about consumer electronics, and Black Friday (along with Cyber Monday) typically brings the best prices on the best tech that you’ll be able to find all year. This year is no exception. Here are the best Black Friday deals you can get this year on laptops, tablets, headphones, smartwatches, robot vacuums and much more.<\/p>\n
If you purchase an Apple gift card<\/a> totaling $100 or more from the retailer, you can get $15 in Amazon store credit for no extra cost. Just use the code APPLET5USA<\/strong> at checkout to see the offer. The deal applies to the digital version of the card; as of this writing, you can get the credit with a physical Apple gift card<\/a> as well by using the code APPLET5USAP<\/strong>, though you may not want to clip the coupon on those cards’ product page, as Amazon’s listing says that will only give you a $10 credit. As a reminder, you can use<\/a> an Apple gift card for App Store credit, subscription services like Apple Music or iCloud, and\/or purchases made at a physical Apple store.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A four-pack of Apple\u2019s AirTags<\/a> have dropped to $80, which is just about $5 more than the pack\u2019s record-low price. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, AirTags are small Bluetooth trackers<\/a> that you can keep in your bag or luggage or attach to items like your keys so you can keep track of their location. The only catch is that these only work with Apple devices as their host device, so Android users will have to pick a tracker from another brand to get similar benefits. AirTags connect to Apple\u2019s Find My network, so you can see where your stuff is in that app and even force the gadgets to ring so you can more easily find your belongings (if you\u2019re within close proximity).<\/p>\n The new Apple Watch Series 9<\/a> has dropped to $329 at Amazon, Walmart<\/a> and Target<\/a> in a Black Friday deal. That\u2019s $70 off its usual price and the lowest we\u2019ve seen since it debuted in September. That\u2019s the price you\u2019ll pay for the 41mm model, but the 45mm models are now down to $359 with the same $70 discount. The Series 9 took the crown of the best smartwatch<\/a> you can get right now in our guide thanks to its new S9 SiP that brings slightly speedier performance and on-device Siri processing, the new Double Tap feature and other improvements.<\/p>\n The Apple Watch SE<\/a> has dropped to a record low of $179 for Black Friday, which is $70 off its usual price. It may not have all of the advanced health tracking features of the Series 9, but the SE has all of the basics you\u2019d want in a smartwatch, including smart notifications, all-day activity tracking and perks like Fall and Crash Detection and Emergency SOS. If you\u2019re looking for a good entry-point into the Apple Watch space, or a gift for someone who has never worn a smartwatch before, the Apple Watch SE is a great option.<\/p>\n The latest version of Apple’s AirPods Pro<\/a> is back on sale for $190 at Amazon and Target<\/a>. That matches an all-time low and comes in $60 below the pair’s usual going rate. The AirPods Pro are the “best for iOS” pick in our wireless earbuds buying guide<\/a> thanks to their easy pairing and deep integration with Apple devices. Effective active noise cancellation (ANC), a superb transparency mode and a pleasingly warm sound profile help as well, as does a new “adaptive audio” mode<\/a> that can adjust the earphones’ noise control settings based on your surroundings. That said, their battery life is just average at six-ish hours per charge, and you really have<\/em> to use an iPhone to get anything out of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n We gave the Lightning-based version of the second-generation AirPods Pro a review score of 88<\/a> last year; this new iteration is almost identical, only it comes with a USB-C charging case<\/a> and has a higher IP54 dust-resistance rating. If you don’t care about the updated charging port, note that the older Lightning version is on sale for $169 at Walmart<\/a>.<\/p>\n The third-gen Apple AirPods<\/a> are back down to $140 at Amazon and Best Buy<\/a>, matching the lowest price we’ve seen. Typically, the wireless earbuds have retailed between $10 and $20 higher over the past few months. We gave these AirPods a review score of 88<\/a> back in 2021: You can get better-sounding and more featured earbuds for much less, but if you’re an iPhone owner who hates the feeling of traditional in-ear headphones, it might suit you well. It has a mostly balanced sound despite its unsealed design, and it gets the usual AirPods conveniences like hands-free Siri, Find My device tracking and quick pairing with other Apple gadgets. Just don’t expect much in the way of deep bass or noise cancellation, as is the case with all earbuds with an “open” design.<\/p>\n Apple’s 9th gen iPad<\/a> is down to a new low of $230 at Amazon<\/a> and Target<\/a>. This is the budget pick in our iPad buying guide<\/a>, and it earned a review score of 86<\/a> in 2021. It’s the last iPad to use Apple’s old design language, so it has thick bezels, a Lightning port, a Home button and a non-laminated display. This variant also comes with a paltry 64GB of storage. At this price, though, it’s hard to do better if all you want is a large screen for streaming video, playing games and browsing the web. If you need more storage space, the 256GB model<\/a> is also down to a low of $380.<\/p>\n The iPad Air M1<\/a> is back down to a record low of $500 right now ahead of Black Friday. All color options are discounted. The Air is still the best iPad for most people<\/a> at the moment, although we expect to see a fresh lineup with the latest M-series processor debut early next year. However, if you want a new iPad immediately, the Air offers speedy performance, good battery life, a slim design and Apple Pencil 2 support.<\/p>\n The 10th-generation iPad<\/a> is down to its lowest price ever at Amazon and Target<\/a>. The 64GB model is just $349 for Black Friday in all four colors. That’s $100 off and $30 less than the previous low. We gave the revamped standard iPad an 85 in our review.<\/a> Compared to the 9th-gen model, the new version ditches the Home button and comes with a larger, 10.9-inch display. The front-facing camera is now on the landscape edge, which is much more convenient for video calls, though the tablet (for some reason) still only works with the first generation Apple Pencil.<\/p>\n The smart plug we recommend<\/a> for most homes is TP-Link’s Kasa Smart Plug mini<\/a>. A four-pack is on sale for $35 which is about $3 more than it sold for during Amazon’s October Prime day sale, :but still a decent $15 savings. Plugs like these are a simple way to add some smart capabilities to any home, letting you turn on lights with just your voice, set automated schedules and routines that are triggered by other activities. These would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone you know who’s curious about smart home connectivity but hasn’t yet taken the plunge.<\/p>\n The coveted Dyson Airwrap<\/a> is down to the cheapest price we\u2019ve ever seen, just $480 when you clip the $20 coupon on Amazon\u2019s product page. This hair tool uses the Coanda effect to keep air flowing around its barrel, helping you style your hair more easily. It also maintains a safe temperature for hair, resulting in less damage overall. You\u2019re getting a number of accessories with this Airwrap bundle as well, including two differently sized barrels, separate brushes for soft or firm smoothing, a Coanda smoothing dryer and more.<\/p>\n TP-Link\u2019s Deco EX75 mesh router system<\/a> with two beacons is $100 off and down to a record low of $200. This is our top pick for a Wi-Fi 6 mesh router system<\/a>, and the two-pack should cover up to 5,500 square feet with stable connectivity. When we tested the three-pack, we were impressed by how well the system balances power with user friendliness. Its network is reliable and fast, and its companion app is easy to use and clearly shows you things like all of the devices connected to your network, current speeds and more.<\/p>\n Sonos has kicked off its Black Friday sale<\/a> for the year, bringing a range of discounts on smart speakers and home theater gear. The deals include the flagship Sonos Arc<\/a> soundbar down to $719, which is a $180 discount. The mid-range Sonos Beam (Gen 2) <\/a>and the more basic Sonos Ray<\/a> are also on sale for $399 and $223, respectively; that’s a $100 drop for the former and a $56 drop for the latter. All three devices are recommendations in our guide to the best soundbars<\/a>. In other home theater deals, the Sonos Sub (Gen 3)<\/a> subwoofer is $160 off at $639, while the more compact Sonos Sub Mini<\/a> is $86 off at $343.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, the Sonos Roam<\/a> portable speaker is down to $134 from its usual $179, while the Sonos Roam SL<\/a> \u2014 which is effectively the same device sans built-in microphones \u2014 is down to $119 from its usual $159. For a smart home speaker, the Sonos Era 100<\/a> is $50 off at $199. We highlight the Roam and Era 100 in our guide to the best smart speakers<\/a>. For those looking to add Sonos functionality to existing audio gear, the Sonos Amp<\/a> is now $599, a $100 discount, while the Sonos Port<\/a> is now $399, a $50 discount.<\/p>\n You can read our reviews of the Arc<\/a>, Beam<\/a>, Ray<\/a>, Roam<\/a> and Era 100<\/a> for more details on what to expect from those devices. We like Sonos speakers for delivering relatively clean and balanced sound and a straightforward app that lets you connect to numerous music services. Their main appeal, however, is their ability to link up with the company’s other devices in one connected audio system. Deals on any Sonos gear are fairly uncommon, so this is a good chance to save if you’re looking to build out your own system. Sonos says this sale will run through November 27.<\/p>\n Google\u2019s Nest Thermostat<\/a> is on sale for $90 right now, which is $40 off and close to a record low. It\u2019s a pared-down version of the Nest Learning Thermostat, but it has plenty of smart features and should help you save on energy costs over time. This model is Energy Star-certified and will automatically turn temperatures down in your home when you leave the house, and you can adjust heating and cooling schedules from your phone.<\/p>\n Almost the entirety of Amazon’s Echo speaker lineup<\/a> is on sale for Black Friday, with most bundled alongside a TP-Link Kasa smart bulb for no extra cost. The offers include the Echo Dot<\/a> back at an all-time low of $23, the Echo Dot with Clock<\/a> for $35 (a $25 discount), the standard Echo<\/a> within $5 of its all-time low at $55, the larger Echo Studio<\/a> for $155 and the entry-level Echo Pop<\/a> back at its Prime Day price of $18.<\/p>\n Of those, the Echo Dot and base Echo are likely your best bets \u2014 the former is the “best under $50” recommendation in our smart speaker buying guide<\/a>, while the latter is our “best under $100” pick. The Echo Studio<\/a> is still decent if you want better audio quality, though it’s harder to recommend when the Sonos Era 100 is also on sale, while the Echo Pop is essentially a weaker-sounding Echo Dot for only a few bucks less. But if you’re building a smart home around Alexa, each device offers similar functionality.<\/p>\n Most of Amazon’s Echo Show<\/a> smart displays are also discounted. The recently updated Echo Show 8<\/a>, for one, is on sale for a new low of $105, while the smaller 5.5-inch Echo Show 5<\/a> is back down to an all-time low of $40. Those two typically retail for $150 and $70, respectively. Again, both devices come bundled with a free LED smart bulb. You can also get an Echo Show 5 with a Ring Video Doorbell<\/a> for $65.<\/p>\n The Echo Show 8 is the top Alexa pick in our guide to the best smart displays<\/a>; compared to the Echo Show 5, it packs a better screen, richer speakers and a much sharper camera for video calls. But if you want something closer to a smart alarm clock for your nightstand, the smaller display still delivers most of the same Alexa smarts. If you want a larger panel, the rotating 10.1-inch Echo Show 10 is $90 off at $160 as well. We gave that one a score of 83<\/a> back in 2021, though our review found the Echo Show 8 to be a better value for most.<\/p>\n If you’re partial to the Google Assistant, Google’s Nest Hub<\/a> is also on sale for $50 at Target<\/a> and Walmart<\/a>. That’s $10 higher than its all-time low but still $50 off Google’s list price. The Nest Hub is the top overall pick in our smart display buying guide, and we gave it a review score of 89<\/a> back in 2021. It has a 7-inch screen, so it’s a bit bigger than the Echo Show 5 but should still be compact enough to fit neatly in a bedroom or small office. While it lacks a built-in camera, that may be a selling point for those who especially sensitive to their privacy (though no smart display is truly privacy-conscious). If you want a larger model with a webcam and stronger speakers, the 10-inch Nest Hub Max<\/a> is also on sale for $129.<\/p>\n The Vitamix E310<\/a> is on sale for $289 at Amazon, Target<\/a> and directly from Vitamix<\/a>, and while that\u2019s not an all-time low, it\u2019s still a $60 discount on a particularly powerful blender. It\u2019s our favorite blender from our guide to kitchen tech<\/a> because it goes beyond smoothie duty to create salsas, sauces, dips and even soups (which the blender can heat to steaming in the container due to shear friction). Anyone coming from a standard blender will be impressed with the way it renders even the hardest, chunkiest ingredients silky smooth.<\/p>\n Breville\u2019s Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro<\/a> is 29 percent off and down to $320 for Black Friday. That\u2019s the best price we\u2019ve seen since the start of this year on one of our favorite air fryers<\/a>. This Breville machine is much more than an air fryer, though \u2014 it has 13 cooking functions and a capacity that can handle a full turkey, so it\u2019s more like a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. It\u2019s best for people who love to cook and have big families, or those who maybe don\u2019t have a traditional oven and want a versatile (and relatively small) appliance for their kitchen.<\/p>\n Ooni Black Friday deals include some of the lowest prices we’ve seen on the company’s pizza ovens and accessories. The 12-inch Fyra is on sale for $244 right now, which is more than $100 off its normal price. It earned a spot on our best pizza oven list<\/a> thanks to its compact profile and the fact that it runs on wood pellets instead of chunks, making it easier to refill and you’ll spend less time tending to its fire overall. Ooni’s handy pizza steel<\/a> is also on sale for $70 in this sale.<\/p>\n Solo Stove\u2019s Black Friday deals<\/a> have knocked up to $245 off fire pit bundles, up to $100 off fire pits by themselves and even more. A standout is the Ranger Backyard Bundle 2<\/a>, which is $145 off and down to $320. It includes the company\u2019s most compact fire pit along with its accompanying shield, stand, lid and shelter. Everything you\u2019d need for an easy setup right out of the box is included in this bundle, and the 2.0-version of the Ranger includes a removable base plate and ash pan, both of which make the fire pit much easier to clean.<\/p>\n If you need a spare gamepad for your Xbox, official Xbox Series X\/S Wireless Controllers<\/a> are as low as $40 at Microsoft. As with the DualSense deal above, this discount applies to various colors. Typically, we see the gamepad retail between $50 and $60 depending on the colorway. The Series X\/S controller doesn’t have the DualSense’s advanced haptics and requires AA batteries for power by default \u2014 we recommend grabbing a rechargeable set<\/a> \u2014 but some will always find its shape and asymmetrical joysticks more comfortable. It’s also simpler to set up and use on PC.<\/p>\n The Xbox Series X bundled with Diablo IV<\/em> <\/a>is down to $439 from Walmart. The console itself has a list price of $500 and the game is typically listed between $40 and $70, so this is like getting a $60 discount on the console plus a free copy of the huge action-RPG<\/a>. If you’re a frequent Target shopper, note that the retailer is selling this same bundle with a $75 store gift card<\/a> for $450.<\/p>\n A starter bundle<\/a> that includes a 512GB capacity Xbox Series S and a three-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate is currently $240 at Microsoft<\/a>. The console by itself has a list price of $300 and three months of access to Xbox’s service will set you back $51 after this year’s price hike<\/a> (though the first month is often just $1 for new members).<\/p>\n Hulu\u2019s Black Friday deal<\/a> is a great one for anyone who has not subscribed to the ad-supported tier yet. You\u2019ll get one year of the service for only $12, which comes out to just $1 per month. That\u2019s 85 percent off the standard monthly price and a great deal if you\u2019ve been wanting to see what all the hype is about for shows like The Bear<\/em> and Only Murders in the Building<\/em>. The deal is available to new subscribers, and returning subscribers who have not been paying for Hulu for at least one month.<\/p>\n Peacock<\/a> has discounted its monthly and annual subscription plans for Black Friday. You can access the services starting at $2 per month for the first year, instead of the usual $6 monthly price, with the code BIGDEAL<\/strong>. If you’d rather pay upfront for one year of access, you’ll spend only $20 with the code YEARLONG<\/strong>. The sale runs from November 22-27, and the offer excludes current Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. In addition to classic movies and new reality TV shows, Peacock has a smattering of live sports offerings that include Sunday Night Football, Big Ten Football and Premier League.<\/p>\n Our favorite VPN service<\/a>, ProtonVPN<\/a>, is having a rare sale for Black Friday that brings a monthly subscription down to only $4 for a total of 30 months. That means you\u2019ll pay $120 for two and a half years of access, which is a pretty good deal. ProtonVPN passed our tests with high marks, but what made it stand out among other VPN security services was its independently audited no-logs policy, and the fact that the company has proven they don’t comply with law enforcement requests to reveal data. If you want to jump in head-first with Proton services, the company has discounted Proton Unlimited<\/a>, which includes access to VPN, Mail, Calendar, Drive and Pass, to just under $9 per month for the first year.<\/p>\n A slew of Anker chargers, cables, power adapters and other accessories are on sale<\/a> for Black Friday at Amazon, with discounts ranging up to 37 percent. The deals extend to our favorite premium power bank<\/a>, Anker’s Prime 20,000 mAH battery with charging base<\/a>, which is $130 for the set and its lowest price ever.<\/p>\n One of the company’s 67W USB-C chargers<\/a> is 37 percent off, bringing it to $38 and matching its all-time low. Our top 65W fast wall charger<\/a>, Anker’s 735 GaNPrime<\/a>, is down to a new low price after a 38 percent discount. And the Anker Nano Power Bank<\/a> is seeing one of its first discounts since coming on the market a couple months ago.<\/p>\n Anker\u2019s new Nano power bank is on sale for $23 at Amazon<\/a>, Target<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a> and direct from Anker<\/a>. The small battery has a foldable, built-in USB-C connector and can give a partial charge to a dying smartphone. It\u2019s an upcoming addition to our guide and, in our tests, got a Samsung S23 Ultra from 5 to 62 percent in about an hour. It\u2019s also available with a Lightning<\/a> connector.<\/p>\n The entire Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone lineup is on sale for Black Friday: you can grab the S23 Ultra<\/a> for $900, the S23+<\/a> for $800 or the S23<\/a> for $700. These are some of the best Android phones<\/a> you can get right now, and we recommend springing for the S23 Ultra if you\u2019re able to. It has a big, bold 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a total of five cameras and a built-in S Pen. It also has an impressive battery life thanks to its 5,000 mAh cell.<\/p>\n Google\u2019s latest flagship smartphones are up to $200 off for Black Friday, including the Pixel 8 Pro<\/a>, which you can snag for $799. The standard Pixel 8<\/a> is as low as $549 depending on the storage capacity you choose as well. These are the best Android phones<\/a> available right now thanks to some substantial upgrades Google brought to each handset this time around. They both have upgraded Tensor G3 processors, vivid OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates, excellent cameras and solid battery lives.<\/p>\n Fitbit\u2019s newest fitness tracker, the Charge 6<\/a>, is $60 off right now and down to a record low of $100. It\u2019s the follow-up to one of our favorite fitness trackers, the Fitbit Charge 5, and it brings back the physical side button that previous generations had and integrates even more with Google services. It has an AMOLED touchscreen that displays all of your activity stats and smart notifications, a built-in GPS for mapping outdoor workouts, a week-long battery life and the ability to display turn-by-turn directions on its screen from Google Maps.<\/p>\n The Sony WH-1000XM5<\/a> is down to $328 at Amazon<\/a>, B&H<\/a> and others. Though this isn’t an all-time low, it’s about $70 off Sony’s list price and $20 lower than the headphones’ usual recurring sale price. The XM5 is the top recommendation in our guide to the best wireless headphones<\/a>, as it offers a comfortable design, powerful ANC, crisp call quality and 30 or so hours of battery life. It also comes with a number of useful bonus features such as “Speak to Chat,” which automatically pauses your music when you start talking to somebody else. By default, its bass-heavy sound plays well with hip-hop and EDM, though you can easily customize the EQ curve through Sony’s app. We gave the XM5 a score of 95<\/a> in our review last year.<\/p>\n The Google Pixel Buds Pro<\/a> are on sale for $115 at Wellbots. That\u2019s the best price we\u2019ve ever seen on what we consider to be the best wireless earbuds for Android users<\/a>. Google learned from its previous generations of earbuds and made the best model yet with the Pros; they have improved sound quality, a comfortable design with reliable touch controls and good noise cancellation and battery life.<\/p>\n Sony’s WF-1000XM5<\/a>, meanwhile, is the top choice in our guide to the best wireless earbuds, and it’s now down to a new low of $248 at Amazon<\/a>, B&H<\/a> and other retailers. Several other retailers have it for $2 more. Normally, these noise-canceling earphones go for $300. Like the over-ear XM5, this in-ear model delivers excellent ANC (with strong passive isolation), loads of helpful features and a warm sound that’s fun out of the box but can be customized if needed. Battery life is decent at seven or eight hours per charge and, notably, the design is lighter, smaller and altogether more comfortable than past Sony earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 earned a score of 87<\/a> in our review this past July.<\/p>\n The Anker Soundcore Space A40<\/a> is down to $54 for Black Friday, matching the lowest price we\u2019ve seen. This is the top pick in our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds<\/a>: It\u2019s comfortable, it supports wireless charging and multi-device pairing, it can last up to 10 hours a charge and its ANC is remarkably effective for a sub-$100 pair. Its bassy sound should please most by default, but it can also be customized through a clean companion app. The only big negatives are its middling call quality and lack of wear detection.<\/p>\n The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II<\/a> are down to $199, which is the same as they went for for October Prime Day. During that sale you needed to be a Prime member to save, but now anyone can take advantage of the discount. They retail for $299, but have sold for $279 for the past few months, so this is still an $80 discount. We think they’re best wireless earbuds<\/a> you can buy for noise cancelation, as they do a great job of blocking out the world. They also have a smaller, more comfortable fit than the previous generation and offer good audio quality.<\/p>\n Dyson Black Friday deals<\/a> include a $200 discount on the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute<\/a>, bringing the cordless vacuum down to $550. It\u2019s hard to tell if this is a record-low price, but considering the standard V15 Detect is going for between $650 and $750 across the internet, we consider this to be a good deal. In addition to its strong cleaning power, the V15 Detect has a laser-powered optic cleaner head that illuminates the floor before you as you\u2019re cleaning so you can see dust and grime more clearly. It also has a piezo sensor, which sizes and counts dust particles as you clean and shows you that information on its LCD display.<\/p>\n Shark\u2019s AI Ultra combo robot vacuum and mop<\/a> is $300 off and down to its lowest price yet. It\u2019s one of our favorite robot vacuums and a solid combo machine that will vacuum and mop for you, provided you change out its dustbin and water reservoir depending on the type of cleaning job you want it to do. It supports obstacle avoidance and home mapping, plus it comes with a self-emptying base that the machine utilizes during vacuuming jobs. The base is also bagless, so you do not have to worry about purchasing proprietary garbage bags for it over time.<\/p>\n The Roomba 694<\/a> is on sale for $159 in this Black Friday deal. It’s our current favorite budget robot vacuum<\/a> thanks to its strong suction power, easy to use mobile app and handy spot-clean function. It doesn’t come with a clean base, but it has Wi-Fi connectivity and voice control with Alexa.<\/p>\n Amazon<\/a>, Walmart<\/a>, PlayStation Direct<\/a> and several other retailers have discounted a bunch of PlayStation DualSense controllers<\/a> ahead of Black Friday, including many of the colorways that typically go for $75. You can pick up Cosmic Red, Starlight Blue, Nova Pink and other models for $50 each, which is just about a record-low price. These controllers work with the PS5 as well as PC, and they sport adaptive L2 and R2 triggers, haptic feedback and a built-in mic array.<\/p>\n If you or someone you love hasn\u2019t gotten their hands on a PS5 yet, a new Black Friday bundle<\/a> pairs the $500 console with the new (and critically acclaimed<\/a>) Spider-Man 2<\/em> game for no extra cost. The PS5 remains one of the best gaming consoles<\/a> you can get right now, and we found the open-world game to be even better than its predecessor in our review<\/a>. In it, you can swap between playing as Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and it includes expanded combat mechanics.<\/p>\n The main Nintendo Switch deal for Black Friday bundles the $350 Nintendo Switch OLED<\/a> with a digital copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate <\/em>and a three-month individual subscription to Nintendo Switch Online for no extra cost. This offer is available at Walmart, Target<\/a>, GameStop<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a> and Nintendo’s own online store<\/a>. Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> was released way back in 2018, so it’s hard to call this an amazing deal, but the game remains one of the console’s best<\/a> and still typically retails between $50 and $60 on its own. The Switch Online sub, meanwhile, goes for $8<\/a>. If you’re late to the Switch bandwagon, you could do much worse for a free pack-in game \u2014 but keep in mind that Nintendo is expected<\/a> to unveil<\/a> its next console at some point in 2024.<\/p>\n If you’re all set on the hardware front, a truckload of PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S and Nintendo Switch games have dropped in price for Black Friday too. Both Sony<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a> have rolled out holiday sales on their respective digital storefronts, while a number of physical games are down to new lows at Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n There are frankly too many deals for us to list them all here, but some highlights for PlayStation and Xbox owners include Assassin’s Creed Mirage<\/em><\/a> for $40, God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em><\/a> and the dramatic<\/a> action-RPG Final Fantasy XV<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for $35 each, the rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush<\/em><\/a> for $22, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and Horizon Forbidden West<\/em><\/a> for $20 each and Halo: The Master Chief Collection<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for $10. Many of those make our lists of the best PS5 games<\/a> and best Xbox games<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the Switch side, the turn-based strategy game Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/em><\/a> is on sale for $15, Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/em><\/a> and Luigi’s Mansion 3<\/em><\/a> are each down to $40 and the excellent 2D platformer Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze<\/em><\/a> is down to a new low of $30. There are plenty more games on sale beyond those, and we expect to see more PC game deals over the course of the week.<\/p>\n The Razer Basilisk V3<\/a> is the top overall recommendation in our guide to the best gaming mice, and it\u2019s dropped to $40 for Black Friday at Amazon, Walmart<\/a>, Target<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>. That\u2019s an all-time low and $10 off the device\u2019s usual street price. The Basilisk V3 isn\u2019t the lightest mouse around at 100 grams, but its sturdy shape should be comfortable for users of each grip type<\/a> and all but the smallest of hands. It has no major issues with latency or tracking accuracy, either, plus it comes with 11 customizable buttons, including a \u201csensitivity clutch\u201d for moments where more precise aiming is required. Beyond that, its scroll wheel supports both left-right tilt and a faster free-spin mode \u2014 both helpful for navigating large documents \u2014 though it is on the noisy side.<\/p>\n The 55-inch Samsung The Frame smart TV<\/a> is 35 percent off and down to a new record low of $978 at Amazon. Samsung<\/a> itself has it for a couple bucks more. Other size options are also discounted. The Frame has been super popular thanks to its design<\/a>, which mimics framed artwork when not in use. It has a matte, anti-reflective display and an included slim wall mount so you can get the true \u201cartwork\u201d effect when you hang it on the wall. As an actual TV, it supports 4K content and Quantum Dot technology, plus it runs on Samsung\u2019s Tizen TV operating system.<\/p>\n The 55-inch Hisense U8K<\/a> is available for $698, which is an all-time low and $50 less than its typical street price in recent months. Best Buy has it for $2 more<\/a>. The 65-inch model<\/a> is also at an all-time low of $897. Several reviews<\/a> have<\/a> praised<\/a> the<\/a> U8K as one of the year\u2019s best values among midrange TVs, one that gets impressively bright and delivers strong contrast for an LED display. It comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports that play 4K video up to 144Hz, it supports all the major HDR formats and its Google TV platform is easier to use than most smart TV UIs. Its motion and color performance will still trail a good OLED TV, though, and reviews say it\u2019ll wash out much more heavily when viewed from an angle. But if you want to stay under $1,000, it should be a good value.<\/p>\n The Meta Quest 2 VR headset<\/a> is $50 off and down to $249 at several retailers. That matches the best price we\u2019ve seen. At Target<\/a> and Amazon, you can get the device with a $50 gift card or credit as well; for the latter, use the code META50<\/strong> at checkout. Despite the launch of the impressive Quest 3<\/a>, we still consider the Quest 2 to be one of the best VR headsets<\/a> available right now \u2014 precisely because of its more affordable price. It\u2019s still the best way to jump into VR without spending a ton of money, and the Quest 2 has the perks of being completely cordless and comfortable to wear for long sessions. The hardware includes fast-switching LCDs with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and it comes with Meta\u2019s sold motion controllers.<\/p>\n Google’s 4K Chromecast<\/a> is down to a new low of $38 for Black Friday, while the standard HD model<\/a> is only $20 for the shopping event. Key to both of these devices are the remotes that come with them that make navigating the revamped UI of Android TV much easier than in years past. The home screen will personalize recommendations for you based on your watch history, and its algorithm-based recommendations come in handy as well \u2014 plus, they’re pulling from services you’re already subscribed to, so you won’t be tempted by movies or shows that you don’t have access to. The 4K model is one of our favorite streaming devices<\/a> thanks to all of those perks in addition to its support for Dolby Vision.<\/p>\n Amazon\u2019s most affordable Fire TV Stick<\/a> is down to $16 for Black Friday, which is only $1 more than its record-low price. You\u2019ll find decent discounts across most of the Fire TV lineup right now \u2014 including a $20 discount on the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max<\/a> \u2014 and this model is the cheapest of the bunch. It supports HD video as well as most major streaming services, plus it comes with a pared-down version of the Alexa voice remote. If you want the most powerful dongle that Amazon makes with support for 4K HDR content and Wi-Fi 6, you\u2019ll have to spend $40 for the new Fire TV 4K Max.<\/p>\n The 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air<\/a> is down to $929 at B&H for an entry-level configuration with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and Apple\u2019s M2 chip. If you need more RAM and storage space, a model with 16GB<\/a> of memory and a 512GB SSD is $200 off at $1,299. The M2 MacBook Air is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, and this 13-inch model earned a score of 96<\/a> in our review last year. It\u2019s worth noting that a refresh with Apple\u2019s new M3 chip<\/a> is reportedly planned<\/a> for the first half of 2024, and the SSD in the entry-level config is technically slower<\/a> than the storage in higher-capacity models. But if you need a new notebook right away, the M2 Air still ticks all the requisite design and performance boxes for everyday use.<\/p>\n The older 13-inch MacBook Air<\/a> that was released in 2020 and uses Apple\u2019s M1 chip is also on sale, with an entry-level config available for $750. We\u2019ve seen this deal a handful of times over the last few months, but it matches the lowest price we\u2019ve seen. It\u2019s really worth stepping up to the M2 Air if you can: It\u2019ll get you a more modern design, a faster chip, a sharper webcam and improved speakers. The 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD in this config is only suitable for casual use, and this model will almost certainly be discontinued when we get the inevitable M3 refresh. But if you\u2019re on a stricter budget and really want a MacBook, the M1 Air is still well-built, long-lasting and fast enough<\/em> for the essentials. We currently highlight it in our guide to the best budget laptops<\/a>.<\/p>\n A configuration of Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9<\/a> with an Intel Core i5-1235U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and Microsoft’s Surface Pro Keyboard is on sale for $1,000 at Best Buy. That’s $540 off Microsoft’s list price. If you don’t need the keyboard, a variant with a faster Core i7-1255U chip is down to a new low of $1,097 at Amazon<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a>, B&H<\/a> and other retailers. That’s roughly $200 off the config’s usual street price. Another Core i7 model<\/a> with 512GB of storage is on sale for $300 more.<\/p>\n In any event, the Surface Pro 9 tops our guide to the best 2-in-1 tablets<\/a>. While its 12th-gen chip is about to be<\/a> two generations old, this is still the device to get if you want the functionality of a laptop in the slim, touch-enabled design of a tablet. We’re past the point of the year when Microsoft would normally announce a refresh, but the current model should still be useful if you’re coming from an older Surface Pro that’s in desperate need of an upgrade.<\/p>\n Lenovo’s IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus<\/a> is on sale for $379 at Best Buy, which is $120 off its list price. This is the most recent version of the top pick in our Chromebook buying guide<\/a>: Its 14-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS touchscreen is good for the money, it’s plenty fast for the kind of web browsing and light work you’d do with Chrome OS and both its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable. This model comes with a Core i3-1315U processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, one USB-A port, two USB-C 3.2 ports and a microSD card slot. It also has a decent 1080p webcam. The chassis isn’t especially light at 3.6 pounds, and we found the battery to last roughly seven hours in testing, which is just OK. But for less than $400, this is a strong value for those who just want an affordable notebook for the basics.<\/p>\n The latest Samsung T9 portable SSD<\/a> is on sale for $110 right now for a 1TB drive, which is the best price it\u2019s been since it came out last month. You can snag this Black Friday deal from Amazon or Samsung<\/a> directly. The T9 is the newest iteration of Samsung\u2019s popular portable drive that we\u2019ve long been fans of, and it supports read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB\/s. It also has dynamic thermal guard to prevent overheating, plus it comes with a USB-C to C and USB-C to A cords so you can use it with a variety of devices.<\/p>\n If you need a new microSD card for your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck or GoPro, a trio of Samsung microSD cards we recommend are also down their lowest prices to date. The 128GB version of the Samsung Pro Plus<\/a> is down to $11 at Amazon<\/a>, B&H<\/a> and others, while the 256GB<\/a> and 512GB models<\/a> are down to $18 and $32, respectively. Beyond that, the 256GB Samsung Evo Select<\/a> is on sale for a new low of $15 and the 256GB Samsung Pro Ultimate<\/a> is available for $25.<\/p>\n The Pro Plus is the top overall pick in our microSD card buying guide<\/a>, as it consistently ranked among the fastest cards we tested despite its relatively affordable price tag. The Pro Ultimate offers faster read speeds, so it could be worth the step up if you often move files between your card and a computer. The Evo Select is our “best value” pick: It’s slower than the other two, but it’s cheaper, and its losses won’t be hugely noticeable in devices that can’t take advantage of the extra performance such as the Switch. Each card comes with a 10-year warranty.<\/p>\n Amazon’s standard Kindle<\/a> has dropped to $80 for Black Friday, which is $20 off its normal price and close to a record low. It’s only been cheaper this year during July Prime Day, when it dropped to $65. Even at its normal price, it’s the best budget ereader<\/a> available right now, so this Black Friday deal makes it even more compelling. It has a 300ppi display with an adjustable front light, 16GB of storage for holding thousands of titles and a USB-C charging port. But as with most ereaders, you likely won’t have to charge this one often as it as a weeks-long battery life.<\/p>\n As part of a larger sale<\/a> on DJI cameras and accessories, the DJI Osmo Action 3<\/a> is seeing a discount as part of a bundle that includes two batteries, a 32GB microSD card and a case. Separately and not on sale, the set would run you $379, but is now down to $319. This isn’t the newest version<\/a> of DJI’s GoPro Alternative camera, that one, the Osmo Action 4<\/a> isn’t on sale. The newer version has a larger sensor and improved dynamic range, but at a higher price. But if you don’t plan on shooting a lot of low-light footage, you may be happy with the performance of the Action 3. We put it through its paces in our review<\/a> and liked the excellent video quality, and found it to be on par with GoPro’s Hero 10. The the magnetic clip mount and long-lasting, fast-charging battery are also reasons to buy.<\/p>\n\n Your Black Friday Shopping Guide:<\/em><\/strong> See all of <\/em>Yahoo\u2019s Black Friday coverage, here.<\/em><\/a> Follow Engadget for <\/em>Black Friday tech deals<\/em><\/a>.
