November is in full swing, which means Black Friday is right around the
corner. But the days in which you had to wait for Black Friday proper to get
good deals have long been behind us. The holiday shopping season is
effectively the entire month of November now, with early Black Friday deals
already popping up across the web (and in some stores). WeΓÇÖre starting to
see deep discounts on a bunch of your favorite tech weΓÇÖve tested this year,
which means you can start crossing things off your to-buy list right now.

If youΓÇÖre holding out for the best of the best deals, we recommend holding
tight until the week before Thanksgiving to see the offerings then, but make
no mistake, the sales already available are some of the best of the year.
These are the best early Black Friday deals we could find; weΓÇÖll be
updating this post regularly throughout November, so check back for the
latest discounts.

Apple AirTags (four-pack) for $70 ($30 off): These are the Bluetooth trackers
to get if you have an iPhone, and they allow you to keep track of your keys,
wallet and other belongings from within the Find My app. Just make sure to
pick up an AirTag holder or case if you plan on using them with your keys.

Apple MagSafe charger pad for $25 ($14 off): Apple's newest MagSafe charger
provides up to 25W of fast-charging power to iPhone 16 handsets when paired
with a 30W or 35W adapter. It works with older iPhones too, of course, and
will provide that satisfying magnetic snap with the latest Apple smartphones
(and AirPods, too).

Apple Watch Series 10 for $349 ($50 off): The latest Apple Watch is our top
pick for the best smartwatch you can get thanks to its slightly thinner and
lighter design, wide-angle OLED panel for better viewing angles, watchOS 11
features and slightly improved battery life.

Apple iPad (9th gen) for $200 ($129 off): Apple discontinued this model with
the release of the new iPad Pro and Air models earlier this year. In what's
likely an effort to get rid of current stock, the price is down to a new
record low of $200. The 9th generation iPad is the former budget pick in our
guide to the best Apple tablets and will serve well as a casual browsing,
streaming and game playing machine.

Apple MacBook Air (M3, 13-inch) fore $899 ($200 off): The latest MacBook Air
is our top pick for the best laptop for most people, and this model has 16GB
of RAM built in ΓÇö double the previous base amount. If you're ok with
getting an M2 processor, that 13-inch MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM is also on
sale for $749.

Apple 2024 M4 iMac desktop computer for $1,150 ($148 off with coupon): Apple
just released the refreshed iMac last month, and now the silver model is
already on sale. It has the latest Apple silicon, the M4 system on a chip
that gives it a speed boost and enables the new Apple Intelligence features
in macOS Sequoia.

Anker Black Friday deals

Anker MagGo 3-in-1 foldable charging station for $82.50 (25 percent off with
coupon): This Qi2 charging station supports up to 15W of power output and can
charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and a pair of AirPods all at once. It also
comes with a 40W USB-C charger and connecting cable, so you get everything
you need to use it in the box.

Anker 10K MagGo power bank for $70 ($20 off, Prime exclusive): This is one of
our top picks for the best power banks you can buy today thanks to its
versatile capacity, speedy Qi2 charging capabilities, clear screen that shows
remaining battery power and its built-in kickstand.

Anker 3-in-1 10K portable charger for $36 ($9 off, Prime exclusive): A top
pick in our best power banks guide, this 10K brick has a built-in USB-C cable
so you don't need to remember to bring one with you, plus it has an extra USB-
C port for charging other devices.

Anker Prime Power Bank 200W with charging base for $110 ($75 off): This high-
capacity power bank is one of our favorites thanks to its speedy charging
performance, onboard display which shows how much juice is flowing to each
connected device and the included charging station that provides a neat space
for the brick to live when you're not using it.

Anker Soundcore Space A40 for $44.25 ($35.75 off): The Space A40 is the
longtime top pick in our guide to the best budget earbuds, as it delivers the
kind of robust feature set we expect from pairs that cost three times as
much. Call quality isn't the best, and it won't auto-pause when you take out
an earbud, but its warm sound, powerful ANC, eight-ish hours of battery life
and comfy design all impress for the money. This deal ties the lowest price
we've seen ΓÇö it's only available to Prime subscribers at Amazon, but you
can also grab it at Anker's online store with an on-page coupon.

Google Black Friday deals Cherlynn Low for Engadget

Google Pixel Watch 3 for $280 ($70 off): Google's latest smartwatch is down
to an all time low price. This is the model we recommend for anyone with an
Android phone in our guide to the best smartwatches and it earned an 84 in
our review. It detects workouts quickly, has an extra long battery life and
is one of the more attractive smartwatches on the market. The deal applies to
the 41mm size with GPS only but the larger and cellular-enabled models are on
sale too. Also at Best Buy and Target.

Google Nest Indoor security camera (wired) for $70 ($30 off): Google's
security camera can tell the difference between people, animals and vehicles
while it's monitoring your home, and it supports 1080p video, night vision
and two-way audio.

Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6E (three-pack) for $279 ($120 off): We consider the
Nest Wi-Fi Pro mesh system to be one of the easiest for folks who have never
installed their own router, and the three-pack provides coverage for up to
6,600 square feet. Also available at Google.

Black Friday subscription deals

Audible Premium Plus (3-month) for $1 ($29 off): Those who don't currently
subscribe to Audible can get three months of the audiobook service's Premium
Plus plan for $1. Normally, the service costs $15 per month after a 30-day
free trial. As a refresher, Premium Plus is Audible's upper tier: In addition
to giving access the full Audible Plus library, it lets you keep one title
from a curated selection of audiobooks each month. We wouldn't call it
essential, but if you've been on the fence, this is a good way to see if it'd
work for you. Just note that the plan will auto-renew until you cancel.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited for $0 for one month ($12 off): Amazon's ebook
subscription service gives you access to a catalog of thousands titles for
unlimited reading, select Audible audiobooks to listen to and included
magazines to read. Prime members can get a different deal: two months for
only $5.

Headspace annual plan for $35 ($35 off): Our top pick for the best meditation
app has tons of courses that address specific anxieties and worries, a good
in-app search engine that makes it easy to find the right meditation you need
and additional yoga routines, podcasts and music sessions to try out.

ProtonVPN Plus two-year plan for $72 ($168 off): Our top pick for the best
VPN is based on open-source framework and has a no-logs policy. Its easy-to-
use apps are available on most platforms including iOS, Android, macOS,
Windows and more, and some of them even include a kill-switch feature.

ExpressVPN two-year plan plus six extra months for $150 (82 percent off): Our
top pick for best VPN for travelers provides access to tons of servers and
had some of the fastest connections of any VPN service we tested. In addition
to a VPN, this subscription tier gives you access to an ad blocker and
password manager.

Black Friday Amazon device deals Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $33 ($27 off): Amazon's most powerful dongle
supports 4K streaming with Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6E and live picture-in-picture
mode so you can see security camera feeds directly on your TV as you're
watching a show or movie.

Amazon Fire HD 10 for $75 ($65 off): No Fire HD tablet comes close to
matching the performance, build quality and app support of an iPad, but
they're significantly more affordable, and they still work well enough if all
you need is something for casual streaming, e-reading and web browsing. At
this price, the 10.1-inch Fire HD 10 is likely a better value than the
smaller Fire HD 8, as it has a sharper display, it's a tick faster and it can
last slightly longer on a charge. Just be ready to deal with a bunch of ads
for Amazon's own apps and services. This discount ties an all-time low, and
it's also available at Best Buy and Target.

Blink Outdoor 4 (6-pack) for $180 ($300 off): The Outdoor 4 is a wireless,
IP65-rated outdoor security camera we highlight in our guide to the best
smart home gadgets. It captures decent (if not class-leading) 1080p video,
it's relatively painless to install and it supports features like night
vision, motion alerts, local storage and two-way talking. The catch is that
it locks things like person detection and cloud storage behind a subscription
plan. Still, it's a solid value on balance, and this deal furthers that.
We've seen this price on a six-camera bundle for a few weeks, but it's still
an all-time low. An eight-camera pack is also on sale for $250, another low.

Black Friday tech deals

LG 65-inch B3 OLED smart TV for $998 ($301 off): This OLED TV has a 120Hz
refresh rate, LG's a7 AI processor Gen 6, and support for NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD
FreeSync Premium and VRR for an even better gaming experience.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (three months) for $30 ($15 off with code TWENTY):
This deal brings the price of three months of access down to $36 and change,
but using the code TWENTY at checkout will bring the price down even further
to around $30.

Xbox Series X (1TB) with extra controller for $490 ($110 off): This bundle
includes a total of two Xbox wireless controllers with the Series X console,
and the built-in 1TB SSD is a good starting point for most gamers.

Samsung Music Frame for $248 ($150 off): This unique smart speaker can show
art or your own photos while it plays music, and it can sync with your
Samsung TV speakers. Also available at Samsung.

Hisense U8N 4K TV (55-inch) for $728 ($371 off): The U8N is the next step up
from the U7N in Hisense's TV lineup, so it should provide better colors,
contrast and brightness across the board. If you don't mind buying a smaller
panel for around the same price, this is another new low. Also at Best Buy.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ for $170 ($50 off): Our top pick for the best budget
Android tablet sports an 11-inch 90Hz display, a microSD card slot for extra
storage and a hefty battery.

Samsung T9 portable SSD (4TB) for $293 ($257 off): The latest model in the T-
series of Samsung's portable drives supports read and write speeds of up to
2,000MB/s, and it has dynamic thermal guard to keep it cool even when you're
pushing it to its limits. Also available at Samsung.

Seagate Storage Expansion Card 2TB for $200 ($160 off): Seagate's expansion
card is one of the best options for expanding your Xbox Series X/S storage. A
2TB version has dropped to $200, its lowest price to date. It's one of our
picks for the best Xbox Series X/S accessories. Also available at Seagate.

Dyson V11 cordless vacuum cleaner for $400 ($170 off): Dyson machines are
some of the best cordless vacuums you can buy, and this model has three power
modes, a motorbar cleaner head that works well on all types of flooring and
up to 60 minutes of runtime. Also available at Dyson.

iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max for $974 ($425 off): You can get a sizable
discount on one of the newest (and more expensive) robovacs at Wellbots with
the code ENGBF425. This one mops, vacuums, empties itself and cleans its own
mop pad with little involvement from you.

Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $178 ($42 off): The top pick in our best
air purifiers guide reliably improved air quality in our testing, plus it has
easy to use onboard controls and takes inexpensive replacement filters.

Segway Ninebot Max G2 electric scooter for $775 ($225 off with coupon): The
latest electric scooter from Segway can reach a maximum speed of up to 25mph,
and it can run for up to 43 miles in Eco mode.

Black Friday FAQs When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday 2024 lands on November 29 this year.

When do Black Friday deals start?

We expect some Black Friday tech deals to start as early as November 1. Over
the past few years, retailers have been kicking off the holiday shopping
season earlier and earlier. This trend will continue in 2024, and youΓÇÖll
likely find early Black Friday deals available online and in stores in the
weeks before the actual shopping event.

When do Black Friday deals end?

Some Black Friday tech deals will end immediately on Saturday, November 30.
But those will likely be few and far between. Along with starting deals
earlier and earlier, retailers have also extended Black Friday deals past the
day for a while now, too. In the tech space, weΓÇÖve seen many Black Friday
deals in the past run through Cyber Monday.

Where are the best Black Friday deals?

There is no one place to buy all of the best Black Friday deals, but you can
expect the big retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target to have many of the
same Black Friday deals available ΓÇö both in the lead up and on the day
itself. We also recommend checking direct-to-consumer sites like Apple,
Samsung, Sonos and others to make sure youΓÇÖre getting the best deal before
you cross things off your list.

Does Apple have Black Friday deals?

You typically will not find cash discounts on AppleΓÇÖs website for Black
Friday, though it has offered various gift card bundles during Black Friday
in recent years. You may be able to find local Apple store discounts on
accessories, but Apple isnΓÇÖt a retailer known for slashing prices on its
products. However, you can find more traditional Apple Black Friday tech
deals at other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy.
