The best Black Friday 2024 deal is…
This is $12 cheaper than AirPods Pro 2 have ever been, and I expect this deal won't last long. They sound excellent, the noise cancellation is top tier, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is amazing for movies, and they even have an unlosable case, thanks to tech that points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, which is great for comfort. The previous lowest price was $169, so absolutely do not miss this deal – they're fantastic value for this price.
This year's best Black Friday deal is Apple's AirPods Pro 2 for $154.99. That's a new record-low price and beats the previous low by $12. Apple devices are always best-sellers during Black Friday, thanks to the rare price cuts they receive. The AirPods are some of the best earbuds in the world, and today's discount is your best opportunity to find them on sale. Due to their popularity, I predict the AirPods will sell out before the weekend ends, so I'd grab them before it's too late.
Black Friday deals – TV and home theater
The best Black Friday 2024 OLED TV deal

The LG C3 was one of 2023's best TVs and covers all the bases really well, with a superb picture and excellent gaming and smart features. To get it at 65-inches for this cheap is staggering. For it's record-low price of $1,196.99, you'd usually be getting a more basic TV or an OLED at a much smaller size! It's easily the best OLED TV deal this Black Friday.
The best Black Friday 2024 budget TV deal
Amazon has the best-selling 65-inch Hisense U6N 4K smart TV for just $497.99 at Amazon. In our Hisense U6 Series review, we praised it for its great picture quality at an affordable price. You're getting support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus Google Assistant hands-free voice control, and Game Mode Plus - all for under $500. This feature-packed TV is for those looking for a solid, budget model this Black Friday.

To get a 65-inch TV of this quality for under $500 is mind-blowing. If you want bang for you buck, this is how to get it.
The best Black Friday 2024 TV deal under $1000
The Hisense U8N is one 2024's most impressive TVs, delivering a bold, vibrant picture with superb contrast and accurate details. It's also got a near-full list of gaming features. This deal slashes the 65-inch model to under $900 -- an excellent price for a mini-LED TV of this caliber.
The best Black Friday 2024 mid-range TV deals - runners up
- Samsung Q80D 65-inch: was
$1,397.99now $897.99 at Amazon - Hisense U7N 65-inch: was
$999.99now $697.99 at Amazon
The Hisense U8N is real value for money. It delivers premium features that you'd expect in a much more expensive TV, but without breaking the bank. It's superb value even at full price, but this awesome Black Friday deal takes it down to $897 for its 65-inch model, which is ridiculously cheap for a TV that has this much to offer. If you can stretch your budget to this mid-range price, this TV is 100% worth it.
The best Black Friday 2024 soundbar deal
The Hisense AX5125H delivers punchy and dynamic sound and 'real' Dolby Atmos immersion across four units, but at a fraction of the cost compared to more premium options. Already offering fantastic bang for your buck at full price (we gave it 4.5 out 5 in our review), this 50% discount means the AX5125H is awesome value.
The best Black Friday 2024 soundbar deals - runners up
- LG S95TR Dolby Atmos soundbar: was
$1,499now $999 at Amazon - Sonos Arc soundbar: was
$899now $699 at Amazon
Today's TVs don't put a focus on sound, but without audio to match the pictures, you're only getting a part of the real viewing experience. This soundbar adds the full Dolby Atmos surround sound experience at a price that's so affordable, anyone with home theater aspirations can have it. I just want you to love your movies all over again, guys!
The best Black Friday 2024 streaming deal
Disney Plus and Hulu's ad-supported plans are normally just under $11 dollars per month for a bundle, but you can now get them both for $2.99 a month total, representing a saving of more than 72%. You'll have to live with commercials on both streaming services, but with a saving of over $200 on offer compared to if you bought both services separately, we suspect you'll think it's a price worth paying. Offer ends on December 3.

- Max 'Standard' with Ads: was
$59.94for 6 months, now $17.94 at Max - Sling TV Orange and Blue: was

Streaming has become an expensive hobby, so bundles are obviously a great way to bring the price down – and with Christmas looming, this is an especially tempting one. All of Disney's movies for the family on the one hand; great 20th Century Studios and Searchlight movies on the other – plus Hulu's award-winning shows, such as the The Bear. All for cheap enough that you'll barely notice the cost.
Black Friday deals – audio
The best Black Friday 2024 earbuds deal
What's the most-asked question I get when I tell people I'm Audio Editor at TechRadar? Easy: what are the best earbuds with noise cancelling for under $200? And the answer is: as of now, you're looking at 'em. They're currently the only earbuds to offer multipoint connectivity to three devices, but that's just for starters (see our Technics EAH-AZ80 review for further details). The discount is also as low as we've ever seen; they dropped to $230 for a recent sales event, but this is their lowest ever price. Buying a gift for the audiophile in your life? They come highly recommended.

- Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: was
$299now $229 at Amazon
When the flagship Technics EAH-AZ80 burst onto the scene, in May 2023, they were the world's first earbuds to offer multi-point connectivity to three devices simultaneously. And over a year later, they're still the only set of earbuds we know that can do it. It might seem a small thing, but let me promise you (as someone who tests earbuds every day), once you're used to not having to disconnect from one device to hook up another, you miss it when it's gone. And that's not the whole story! Far from it; I've written odes to these Technics earbuds, I just don't have room in this mini-summary to emphasise just how good the 'concha-fit' shape and detailed sound is…
The best Black Friday 2024 cheap earbuds deal
★★★★★ rating! These are the best earbuds you can get for this price, and I gave them full marks in my review. They sound richer and more detailed than the competition, the noise cancellation is very effective, they're comfortable, and the have Nothing's cool see-through design. They also offer tons of battery life, when you combine the buds and case. Amazing all-rounders.

- Sony WF-C700N: now

$59now $48 at Amazon
The Nothing Ear (a) aren't just for those who like a splash of color and a bit of edgy transparency in their earbuds any more. No, these April 2024 release buds (which are actually the entry-level set, next to the flagship Nothing Ear) may look similar to Nothing in-ears have come before it, but in fact they're a fully reworked proposition – and for sound, noise cancellation and design, they're five stars across the board. Add in ChatGPT support via pinching the stems from your Nothing phone plus their shockingly affordable price-point? They're my budget winners this year all (Black Fri)day long.
The best Black Friday 2024 headphones deal
I adore these headphones. Honestly, they are incredible value at their original MSRP thanks to their excellent sound quality, solid ANC, novel voice prompts (select 'Southwark' and you get Matt Berry to tell you whether you've deployed noise canceling) plus a modular design that means you'll even be able to switch out the battery when the time comes. They debuted on July 15, 2024, and frankly, they wowed me – and the wider TechRadar team. If you need more info, my Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 review will provide. Highly recommended at this new lowest-seen price.

- Sony WH-1000XM4: was
$348now $198 at Amazon - Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: was
$429now $299 at Amazon
I'm going to be frank (yes, you can still be Garth): these headphones get everything right, for me – and they do it for cheaper than the class-leaders. The design isn't just sleek, it's also modular, so you'll be able to switch out the batteries later on. Sonically and for ANC they're also the absolute business and to top it all off, Matt Berry tells you about pairing and noise-cancellation if you select 'Southwark' in the slick and likeable app. Cambridge Audio wants your music, unadulterated, to be the star here and once again, the company got it so very right with these cans.
The best Black Friday 2024 Bluetooth speaker deal
Get a massive 38% discount on the JBL Flip 6, now available for $79.95. For the price, this is the best rugged Bluetooth speaker on the market, and with an IPX7 waterproof rating, perfect for your next vacation.
The best Black Friday 2024 Bluetooth speaker deals – runners-up
- Beats Pill: was
$149now $99 at Amazon - JBL Clip 5: was
$79now $49 at Amazon
Yes, it's a slightly older model, and no, it still won't charge up your devices or work as a speakerphone when calls come in. It's 'just' a Bluetooth speaker – but oh, what a great-sounding speaker it is. Despite its July 2021 release date it's still the newest Flip in JBL's lineup and it's also now cheaper than ever. JBL's PartyBoost means you can daisy-chain any other PartyBoost-enabled JBL speakers to beef up the audio, and it's the perfect size (and volume) for a decent gathering but without being too heavy and cumbersome.
The best Black Friday 2024 turntable deal
Released at CES 2019, this was the first deck I ever reviewed that let me send vinyl to my wireless headphones (and you can read that five-star Sony LS-PX310BT review I helped to write, for our sister site, What Hi-Fi? …and then come back here please). Setup is a breeze, truly, and it's a rock-solid entry-level deck. Owing to its popularity it actually increased in price following its release, so while it was once $148 (in September 2019) this is emphatically the cheapest it's been for a long old while. Recommended.

- Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB: was
$349now $249 at Amazon - Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK: was
$149now $129 at Amazon
Look, for as long as retailers keep running this deal (or until a deck finally comes along that can beat it for the money) I'll keep recommending this inexpensive Sony turntable. It's rock-solid in terms of build quality, the Bluetooth connectivity is fuss-free and it's got a minimalist design that'll happily fit into any fledgling vinyl collectors room. Look, I'm one of the reviewers who advertised how good it was back in 2019 (and ultimately contributed to the slight price increases it saw because of its popularity) so when the asking fee comes back down again, well, you love to see it.
Black Friday deals – Laptops and computing
The best Black Friday 2024 laptop deal
Display - 13 inches
Processor - Apple M3
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - macOS
The latest MacBook Air M3 at Amazon has a solid discount of $250 - so it's now selling at the lowest ever price we've seen. In our five-star MacBook Air 13-inch M3 review we praised its excellent performance, lengthy 18 hours of battery life and slick fan-less design. We think it's the best laptop you can buy right now for creatives and anyone after a high-end device so if you've got a decent budget you'll love this portable and powerful machine. This is also the new base model of the MacBook Air, which gets a nice bump in memory from 8GB to 16GB.

- Dell Inspiron 15 laptop:
was US$699now US$469.99 at Dell - Dell XPS 13:
was US$1,199now US$899.99 at Dell
Once again, I think the best Black Friday laptop deal is for a MacBook. This time, it's the MacBook Air 13-inch (M3, 2024) which has caught my deal-hunting attention, with Amazon cutting a big 23% off its latest thin and light laptop, making it $844 for Black Friday. This makes it an excellent, affordable laptop, and even better - this price cut is for the new base model of the M3 MacBook Air, which comes with a boosted 16GB of unified memory - an upgrade over the 8GB that this model came with a few months ago.
The best Black Friday 2024 Chromebook deal
This Black Friday deal on the HP Chromebook 15 is perfect if you're just looking for a straightforward laptop for office or school work. 8GB of RAM places this above many super-cheap Chromebooks, while the Intel N200 processor can comfortably handle the lightweight hardware requirements of ChromeOS. At better than half price, this is a stellar deal.

- Lenovo Duet 11 Chromebook: was
$379now $269 at Best Buy - Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook: was
$249now $119 at Best Buy
Finding a super-cheap laptop that's actually good can be tough, even during Black Friday. But this HP Chromebook 15 is worth the money, especially with a fat 55% discount. As a long-time Chromebook fan, this is the one I'd personally buy this year: the 15.6-inch display is larger than what most Chromebooks offer, and while the specs aren't going to blow your socks off, it's perfectly capable of handling everyday tasks like answering emails, browsing the web, and perhaps watching a bit of YouTube or Netflix.
The best Black Friday 2024 gaming laptop deal
There are plenty of gaming laptops on sale this Black Friday, but this is the one to get: with an RTX 4060 GPU, Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, and 16GB of DDR5 memory, it perfectly balances performance and price with this $300 off discount. I'm also a fan of the more professional aesthetic this gaming laptop offers; clean, angular edges, subtle branding, and a minimal amount of RGB lighting means the Dell G15 can pull double duty as a gaming machine and a work laptop.
The best Black Friday 2024 gaming laptop deals – runners-up
- MSI Thin 15: was
$899now $599 at Best Buy - Dell G16: was
$1,949now $1,299 at Dell
There might be some cheaper gaming laptops out there this Black Friday, but this is the one I'd stretch my budget for. Not only is it currently enjoying a strong $300 discount, but it crucially packs an RTX 4060 graphics card - my personal baseline for PC gaming specs. Sure, the 4050 is fine, but this is the superior (and more future-proof) option for 1080p laptop gaming. And since it's direct from Dell, you can be assured you're getting a dependable warranty.
Black Friday deals – Appliances
The best Black Friday 2024 coffee maker deal
I gave this premium bean-to-cup espresso machine four and a half stars out of five when I reviewed it earlier this year, and it's down to a record-low price with $300 off for Black Friday. Making espresso doesn't get easier than this - just pick your drink from the color screen and it handles the dosage, grinding, extraction, and milk frothing for you. This is the first time it's received a price cut, and it's worth every cent if you want great quality coffee with minimal hassle. It even cleans itself - I love it.

$1,499.95now $1,199.95 at Amazon
I'm lucky enough to test a lot of coffee machines here at TechRadar, but the KitchenAid KF8 is something special. When I tested it, I was truly impressed by the quality and consistency of its espresso shots and foamed milk, which are both a significant step up from what you'd typically expect from a fully automatic machine. You're not sacrificing quality for convenience here - this is a bean-to-cup machine that will satisfy even discerning coffee geeks. It was only released earlier this year, and this Black Friday deal is the first time it's ever been less than full price.
The best Black Friday 2024 Nespresso deal
Looking for a premium Nespresso machine this Black Friday? This is the one for you. This deal at Amazon is the cheapest we've ever seen the Vertuo Creatista, which received a glowing review and a full five stars from our reviewer Helen McCue. This is a step above your average Nespresso machine - it looks gorgeous, heats fast, has an integrated high-pressure milk frother, and according to Helen, it "takes capsule coffee makers to the next level".

- De'Longhi Lattissima One: was
$399now $275.08 at Amazon - Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ With Milk Frother: was
$179.95now $125.97 at Amazon
This machine proves that choosing a capsule coffee maker doesn't have to mean settling for mediocre espresso. It turns your ordinary Nespresso pods into something special, heating in just 30 seconds and producing rich coffee with golden crema. It also has a high-pressure auto steam wand with a temperature sensor to product perfectly heated and textured milk for lattes and cappuccinos. During our tests we didn't get exactly the same results we would from a manual espresso machine, but this is the next best thing.
The best Black Friday 2024 air fryer deal
The Ninja Double Stack is easily one of the best air fryers you can buy today, and it's hit a record low price at Amazon for Black Friday, making it my top recommendation. We gave the Ninja Double Stack a full five stars for its innovative design that lets you cook two portions while taking up minimal counter space. At this price, it's even easier to recommend than usual.

- Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer: was
$349.95now $279.95 at Breville - Instant VersaZone 9Qt Air Fryer: was

The Ninja Double Stack is the best air fryer we've tested here at TechRadar this year - in fact, it's so good it won the prize for best in category in this year's TechRadar Choice Awards, and this Black Friday deal makes it fantastic value too. It gives you space to cook two dishes and synced cooking to finish them at the same time, while taking up half the countertop space of a conventional two-drawer air fryer. There's virtually no heat transfer between the two drawers to maintain consistent temperatures in both, so you can expect perfectly evenly cooking every time. What more could you want?
Black Friday deals – Phones and tablets
The best Black Friday Kindle deal
The 2024 Kindle is Amazon's lightest and most compact e-reader and features a six-inch glare-free display and a battery life that lasts six weeks. Today's Black Friday deal is a first-time discount and an incredible price for an all-new Amazon e-reader.

The new 2024 Kindle is basically the e-reader you really need. And with $20 off, it's almost a no-brainer of a purchase. You get a 6-inch E Ink display and a battery life that'll last week, making the current Kindle a perfect e-reader for taking on holiday.
The best Black Friday iPad deal
Apple slashed the recommended starting price of the iPad 10.9 (2022) to $349 earlier this year, but Amazon has now dropped that figure even further, to a record-low $259. In our iPad 10.9 (2022) review, we said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model, offering a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.

- iPad Pro 13-inch (M4): was

While I do love the iPad mini, if I didn't have it I'd totally consider the 10.2-inch iPad from 2022. It's got a neat design, plenty of power for most tablet tasks, and a rather nice display. And with nearly $100 off the price, it's more attractive than ever.
The best Black Friday 2024 Android tablet deal
With $70 off the original price, the OnePlus Pad 2 is a bit of a bargain for a rather powerful and capable Android tablet. For the price, you get a 12.1-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and 67W fast charging; not bad for a tablet now under $500.

- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE: was

While I've been tracking the top Black Friday tablet deals, they've been dominated by iPads or Galaxy Tab deals. But I think the best Android tablet deal is for the OnePlus Pad 2, which has dropped below $500 and offers a lot of premium specs and power for the price.
The best Black Friday 2024 iPhone deal
Best Buy has knocked a whopping $150 off the price of the iPhone 15 for Black Friday, though you'll need to purchase a new Verizon or AT&T plan to qualify for the maximum discount. The cheapest right now is $65/mo (or $75/mo until you enroll in paperless billing) plus a $35 activation fee. If you don't want to sign up to a monthly plan, the device alone has been moderately discounted to $679.99, which is a strong price for an iPhone that still offers big value for money. Best Buy is also offering similar deals on the larger iPhone 15 Plus for Black Friday.

- Apple iPhone 14 Plus: was

If you want your next iPhone to be compatible with Apple Intelligence, you'll need to look out for deals on the iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Pro. If, however, you're not fussed about Apple's latest (and still incomplete) software package, then the standard iPhone 15 remains a stylish, feature-packed, and largely future-proof option. Best Buy's $679.99 device-only price isn't anything exceptional, but it's the best you'll find in the US right now. If you're ready to commit to a new Verizon or AT&T plan, that deal price is dramatically improved to $579.99.
The best Black Friday 2024 Android deal
The Pixel 9 Pro is on sale at Google right now, but Amazon is offering an even better, record-low price on the device we crowned our Phone of the Year for 2024. We love the Pixel 9 Pro's design, durability, and amazing AI features, so if you need a new Android, don't hesitate to pick up this deal.

Black Friday deals – Smartwatches
The best Black Friday 2024 smartwatch deal
For the fourth time this week, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has fallen to its lowest-ever price. Now just $434, it's fully one-third off its original $649 price tag, and it only launched in August! It's Samsung's best Galaxy Watch yet from a technical perspective, with a "squircle" titanium cushion protecting its new Quick Button, and a beefy battery topping out at 100 hours.

Samsung Galaxy Watches are always super-popular Black Friday purchases, and the newest, biggest, beefiest Galaxy Watch yet is no different. It's probably the best outdoor-orientated Android watch yet, and Samsung's unimaginatively-named answer to the success of the Apple Watch Ultra. What is different this year is Amazon losing its damn mind and discounting the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra four times, bringing us this excellent deal on a device that's only a few months old. Smash your fitness goals in 2025 with this titanium-encased all-star.
The best Black Friday 2024 Apple Watch deal
The best Black Friday Apple Watch deal is an easy pick this year, $149 on the Apple Watch SE is an unheard of low price and the cheapest Apple Watch money can buy. This is unbelievable value on an already-inexpensive smartwatch that gets you nearly all of the Apple wearable experince.

- Apple Watch Series 10: was

This Apple Watch deal is by far the best Black Friday pick out there at just $149. It's incredible value for a smartwatch that comes with nearly all of Apple's best wearable features including health tracking, heart rate monitoring, and safety features. The pick is also helped by the fact that deals on Apple's other models are less generous this year.
The best Black Friday 2024 Fitbit deal
The best Fitbit deal going is also the cheapest. This Inspire 3 is brilliant value at just $69.96, the lowest-ever price and very discreet, it's an unobtrusive fitness tracker with 24/7 heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and notifications.

Fitbits are brilliant in terms of cheap fitness tracking. While the Sense and Versa smartwatches are more capable, they're also more expensive and in 2024, are overshadowed by Google's Pixel Watch range. As such, the best Fitbit value comes from its very cheapest fitness trackers, and this is the cheapest of the lot.

Black Friday deals – Cameras
The best Black Friday 2024 GoPro deal
Hands down the best deal in the US for any GoPro camera has to be for its latest flagship, the Hero 13 Black + Accessories Bundle for $349.99 – that's a $100 saving for a bundle that GoPro values at $500. For only $10 more than the camera only package, you get an additional battery and more. It's the first price cut for GoPro's best action cam since it was launched in September.

DJI and Insta360 rivals have turned up the heat, but GoPro remains a dominant force in action cams, and its latest flagship takes the Hero series on an exciting path, with its new auto-detected 'Lens Mods' that include macro and anamorphic lenses. It's a refined successor to the Hero 12 Black too, with better battery life, magnetic mounting and GPS, plus improved 5.7K video slow-mo recording.
The best Black Friday 2024 dash cam deal
Best Buy has slashed $50 off the brand new Piqo 2K, which is a smaller and simplified reimagining of the pricier Nextbase iQ smart dash cam. For just $99.99 you bag the 2K version of the camera – that's cheaper than the 1K version right now. For most drivers, the Piqo will be plenty enough and it's a fraction of the price of the iQ. You'll struggle to find a better dash cam for $100, but this is one you'll need to act fast for.

was US$399.99now US$179.99 at Amazon
Nextbase's iQ won best dash cam of the year for the TechRadar Choice Awards 2024, yet the world's best dash cam is overkill for a lot of people and it's one of the priciest models ever. In steps the Piqo, a little sibling with cleverly implemented light versions of the iQ's smart features and sharp 2K video footage day and night, and it comes in at a fraction of the cost. Given the Piqo was only launched last month, I was super surprised and super happy to see such a healthy discount already.
The best Black Friday 2024 mirrorless camera deal
My favorite lightweight travel camera, bundled with the ideal lens, is available for an unbeatable price at Adorama. The OM System OM-5 and 12-45mm F4 Pro lens are a compact and rugged pairing, while the camera itself offers advanced computational features, 20MP photos and 4K video, supported by superb 5-axis image stabilization so you can shoot handheld with ease.

Even though it's two-years-old now, the rugged and lightweight OM System OM-5 is still my top travel camera pick, and the weather-sealed 12-45mm lens complements it perfectly – a combined weight of 23.5oz / 668g. The camera handles beautifully, can work in tough conditions and has smartphone-beating image quality and photo modes. You'll bag some lovely travel snaps with this amazing camera and there's plenty of other lenses you can also buy for different looks.
The best Black Friday 2024 drone deal
For me, the DJI Mini 4K was already the best value 4K drone for beginners, and with this price cut it's truly unbeatable. It's a minor update of the Mini 2 SE, upping video quality from 2.7K to 4K, which unleashes a 2x digital zoom to get closer footage of your surroundings. Otherwise, it's as you were for DJI's cheapest Mini-series drone, also available as the drone only for $239 (was $299).

You get 4K video, a 2x digital zoom, a 3-axis gimbal for steady footage and a selection of Quickshots flight moves, all with an easy to use app. All in all, this is a superb first drone for to test your wings.
The best Black Friday 2024 DSLR deal
If you still prefer DSLR over mirrorless, the Nikon D7500 and 18-140mm lens bundle is unbeatable deal for such versatile and well-made gear. Last year this bundle cost $1,196.95, meaning there's an additional $300 saving for Black Friday 2024. The camera features a 20.9MP APS-C sensor, a 3.2-inch LCD screen, 8fps burst shooting and super impressive battery life.

$2,299.99now $1,799.99 at Best Buy - Canon EOS Rebel T7 with 18-55mm lens: was
$732.34now $479 at Adorama
DSLRs are being phased out by Nikon and Canon in favor of mirrorless cameras, but the Nikon D7500 is one of the few models still available new, and I can see why. There's little that the versatile hobbyist camera can't handle, with impressive speed, image quality and all round handling. The lens in this bundle also impresses and could be the only zoom lens you ever need, and the record low price for the pair is superb value.
Black Friday deals – Gaming
The best Black Friday 2024 PS5 deal
Getting the PS5 Slim with this much of a discount, and at a record-low retailer price of just $424 makes the disc drive console an easy pick for the best Black Friday PS5 deal going. This is a superb price for Soiny's brilliant console and is a perfect acquisition for the holidays.

While we're used to seeing bits of the PS5 Slim's price chopped off occasionally throughout the year, this Black Friday PS5 deal on the console is an absolute belter as it bring the machine to a record-low price. I'm always looking for ways to highlight great value ways of jumping into console gaming and this is one of the best ever means to do so this generation. With the PS5 game library now four years old and building with every release, there's never been a better time to jump in.
The best Black Friday 2024 gaming headset deal
For those searching for a premium headset this Black Friday look no further than my personal favorite gaming headset (ever!): the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. It's not quite the lowest-ever price but it offers exceptional value with nearly $100 off the price tag. This changes the price category of the headset and brings it down to more affordable territory, and with so many features and strings to its bow, this is a top, top deal.

At this near-lowest ever price it offers exceptional value too, offering a more affordable way into its excellent audio quality, brilliant battery life solution, and wonderful fit, build, and mic.
The best Black Friday 2024 Xbox deal
For me, the standout Xbox deal this Black Friday has to be Walmart's offer on the Xbox Series X Digital Edition. It's the lowest price we've seen yet for the recently-released mid-gen model, so it's expected to sell out relatively fast.

- Xbox Series S (512GB): was
$299now $248 at Walmart - WD Black C50 (1TB): was
$157.99now $99 at Amazon
While I do prefer the base Xbox Series X model due to its inclusion of a disc drive, I also felt that the Digital Edition would be well worth it if it was slightly cheaper in my review of the console. Well, here we are, as Walmart's Black Friday deal makes this console more than $100 cheaper than the base Series X's retail price.
The best Black Friday 2024 gaming controller deal
My pick for the best Black Friday controller deal has to be this superb $20 saving on the Chroma Pearl special edition of the DualSense Wireless Controller. Being a relatively newer model, it's not one we've seen many discounts for so far particularly over at PlayStation Direct. For that reason alone it's worth checking out.
Chroma Indigo: PS Direct - $59.99
Chroma Teal: PS Direct - $79.99

I'll admit it; sometimes a controller's aesthetic can be enough to win me over. Thankfully, the DualSense is already an excellent controller - this gorgeous Chroma Pearl color variant is simply the icing on the cake. A cake shaped like a PS5, to be precise. With a delicious jam sponge filling.
The best Black Friday 2024 Nintendo Switch deal
With this brilliant value bundle discount you're not only getting a Nintendo Switch OLED for $50 below its retail price, but also a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online membership - which retail for a combined total of $79.98.

- Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle: was

Nintendo comes out with a bundle like this for most Black Friday sale events, but such a steep discount on it is almost unheard of. This would be a fantastic price for the Nintendo Switch OLED on its own, but factoring in the included game and Nintendo Switch Online membership really cements this deal as one of the best I've ever seen.
The best Black Friday 2024 gaming storage deal
The 1TB WD Black C50 is matching its lowest-ever Amazon price over at Best Buy, letting you save $50 on this Xbox Storage Expansion Card. If you've been struggling with your console storage space, then now is the time to get a handle on it for less.

A limited storage capacity is one of the biggest frustrations for Xbox owners, especially for those with that original 512GB Xbox Series S. Xbox Storage Expansion Cards rarely come cheap, so you should jump on the chance to pick one up at a heavily reduced price.

That said, the Pixel 8 Pro might be an even bigger bargain. You can grab it right now at Amazon for only $649 – so that's $150 less than the price of the 9 Pro. There is a difference between them, sure, but is it worth $150 of your cash? I'm not so sure.
As I said, I use the Pixel 8 Pro as my daily driver for much of the time, and absolutely love its superb cameras, big, bright screen and just how slick Android is on it. Check out the deal at Amazon here:
Google Pixel 8 Pro: was $999 now $649 at Amazon
You know what I haven't talked about yet? Phones. I did say I use a Pixel, and I've seen some great deals on them this year. I currently rock a Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro depending on how I'm feeling, but I'm tempted by the 9 Pro – particularly at this price. Here's Phones Editor Axel Metz:
"One of our favorite phones on the TechRadar Mobile Computing team. the Google Pixel 9 Pro blends a neat design, a great display, excellent rear cameras, and a whole suite of artificial intelligence tools and features.
"The Pixel 9 Pro is a great Android phone at full price, but with $200 off for Black Friday, I reckon it's a bit of a phone bargain and worth your attention if your after a new Android smartphone."
Google Pixel 9 Pro: was $999 now $799 at Amazon
Do you wear an Apple Watch? I don't, because I have a Pixel phone and therefore a Pixel Watch. But if I did use an iPhone, I'd be buying the Apple Watch SE right now. Here's what our Senior Fitness Writer Stephen Warwick has to say about it.
"While there are some decent savings on the Apple Watch Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 this year, the astonishing low price of the Apple Watch SE is too good to miss. $149 is unbelievable value for a smartwatch this capable and makes this not only a great pick for a personal treat but also a fantastic gift for friends and family. You can also save on the larger 44mm version, as well as the Cellular models."

I don't yet own an OLED TV – I know, shocking, but it is on the list. However, I do have an air fryer, and I love it. Here's TechRadar's Homes Editor Cat stopping by to let you know about the best air fryer deal of Black Friday…
"The awesome Ninja Double Stack on sale for only $179.99 (was $219.99) at Amazon. That's the cheapest it's ever been, and definitely worth getting excited about.
"The Double Stack's super smart two-tier design means twice the cooking space you'd get with other air fryers with the same footprint, saving valuable space on your kitchen counter. You can cook two completely different foods at once and sync them to finish at the same time – and you don't need to worry about your fish drying out or your fries burning because there's virtually no heat transfer between the two baskets (check out our full Ninja Double Stack review for more lavish praise).
"It's so good, I gave it the prize for best air fryer in this year's TechRadar Choice Awards, and I think you'll love it too."

Of course the LG C3 might be out of your price range – it's a great deal, but it's still beyond $1,000. So if you want something a little cheaper, here's what James has to say about the Hisense U8N:
"If you're looking for a mid-range TV this Black Friday, then the best deal we've found is on the 65-inch Hisense U8N, which has dropped to a record-low of $897.99 at Amazon – an incredible 40% saving.
"The U8N delivers superb bang for your buck, with an effective mini-LED panel giving you a contrast-rich, wonderfully bright and colorful picture and a stack of smart and gaming features. The U8N outperforms its price with ease."

OK, over to the world of TVs now. Specifically: OLED TVs, the best of the best. Here's what James Davidson, our TV staff writer, picked as his favorite this year.
"My best Black Friday OLED TV deal is on the 65-inch LG C3. It's hit a new record-low of $1,199 at Amazon in the US, which is incredible value for an OLED TV of this quality.
"But what do you get for your money? You get sensational picture quality, with refined detail, amazing contrast and bold colors, as well as a full suite of gaming features. There's not much to dislike about the C3, so grab it while you can!"

At the other end of the scale from MacBooks sits Chromebooks – cheaper machines for even simpler tasks. But they're great – I've bought my daughters two each over the years, and they work really well as homework devices. Here's what Computing Editor Christian Guyton says about his pick for Best Black Friday Chromebook deal:
"For anyone who needs a super-affordable but reliable new laptop this Black Friday, this HP Chromebook 15 deal is perfect – and better than half price. Laptop deals in general have been a tad lackluster this year, so deep discounts like this are a welcome sight.
"A straightforward no-frills laptop with an understated design that makes it ideal for the office or classroom, this Chromebook packs a large 15.6-inch display (bigger than you'll find on many Chromebooks) along with an Intel N200 CPU and 8GB of RAM – a step up from the 4GB you'll find in most ultra-budget ChromeOS laptops."
HP Chromebook 15: was $399 now $179 at Best Buy
I can't argue with Matt about the MacBook Air M3 being a great deal – it really is. But I'd also point you to the MacBook Air M1, available at Walmart for an astonishing $599.
I own the MacBook Air M1 and use it every day. It's great. Sure, it's not quite as powerful as an M2, M3 or M4 MacBook – but do you really need that extra power? After all – it's $599! And it has an amazing battery life. Seriously, if you don't own a MacBook and want to, and don't do lots of power-hungry tasks like video editing you could just get this and be very happy.
MacBook Air 13-inch with M1: was $699 now $599.99 at Walmart
Let's start by talking about laptops – specifically MacBooks. Here's what TechRadar's Matt Hanson, Managing Editor of Core Tech, has to say about his pick for best Black Friday laptop deal:
"Apple's entry-level MacBook Air with M3 chip was already great value - you were getting powerful Apple hardware in a thin and light design for an affordable price that many Windows 11 laptops simply could not match.
"Then, Apple announced it was doubling the memory for no extra cost, making the cheapest MacBook Air far more future-proof. And, while Apple itself doesn't go big on Black Friday, Amazon does, cutting the price of this new model by $255."
