While you'll have to wait until Thursday to add them to your cart, I'd absolutely be ready to get the Apple MacBook Air (M2) for $749 (was $999), this Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Vacuum for $229.99 (was $499.99) and the LG B4 48-inch OLED TV for $599.99 (was $799.99). These are all excellent deals on top-rated tech.
But there are also dozens of excellent Black Friday deals that are already live at Best Buy today. Highlights include the Samsung S90D 65-inch 4K OLED TV for $1,399.99 (was $1,699.99) – that's the biggest discount yet on the successor to the best TV in the world.
My other personal picks include the Shokz OpenRun Pro for $99.99 (was $159.99), the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $17.99 (was $34.99), and this $300 savings on the latest Microsoft Surface Pro 11.
Below are more of the deals I recommend from the Best Buy Black Friday sale, as well as a full list of the offers set to launch when the event begins proper on November 21. The retailer has promised even more deal drops on November 22 and next week on November 29, so get prepared for the barrage of bargains.
The good news if you're hesitant about buying now is that most purchases from now until December 31 are under the Best Buy Holiday Price Match Guarantee. That means if you see it cheaper than what you paid at Best Buy or an eligible retailer, you can get a refund for the difference.

Early Best Buy Black Friday deals - editor's picks
The Samsung S90D is the newest version of the five-star-rated Samsung S90C so it carries many of the same qualities and features that made the original one of the best TVs you can buy. These include terrific overall picture quality, impressive levels of brightness, rich contrast and colors, and industry-leading performance for watching movies, enjoying shows and smooth gaming. This offer brings the 65-inch version of the display down to a new record-low price.
Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick is half-price for this year's Black Friday sale at Best Buy – and matches the record-low I saw over Prime Day. It's a bargain price for the basic streaming stick and a good opportunity to pick one up for less if you're not a Prime member. It's a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls and the ability to control other smart home devices.
We rate these as some of the best bone conduction headphones for running and this is one of the biggest discounts yet. It's one not to miss if you want to try this unique technology that offers solid sound quality in a small and light design. It's only available in one color but this is one of the best deals I've seen ahead of Black Friday.
Save $50 on the up-front cost of either a Heritage or a Horizon (angular surface) design. The Oura Ring Generation 3 is a discreet, accurate tracker with loads of features, and at this price, it's perhaps better value than the Oura Ring 4. This discount saves you the lion's share of a year's subscription to the $5.99 a month Oura Membership, increasing the value of the overall package.
Display - 13-inch OLED
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11
This is the best discount I've seen on the new Microsoft Surface Pro – and it's a tempting buy after we were super-impressed in our Surface Pro 11 review. This version boasts a gorgeous 13-inch PixelSense Flow OLED display at 2880 x 1920 resolution so it looks sharp and crisp with some vibrant colors and deep blacks. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon X Plus processor ensures excellent battery life and combines well with its many AI features to simplify your life. There’s also 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage which will ensure speedy performance and enough storage space for your essential files and applications.
Televisions
One of the cheapest TV deals in the Best Buy Black Friday sale is this Insignia 32-inch display on sale for $79.99. This is a good display if you're looking for a budget TV to add to an extra bedroom or for the kids. While the F20-Series lacks 4K resolution support, you get smart capabilities with the Fire operating system, easy access to top streaming apps and compatibility with Alexa for hands-free control.
TCL TVs usually offer an excellent blend of performance and affordability – and this Q5 display is no different. The picture quality is solid overall, with the QLED panel ensuring you get superior brightness and colors that pop. It's rare to see a TV with this tech for so cheap, too, so you're getting a serious bargain here if you need a solid mid-sized TV for watching shows. movies and sports.
If you're looking for a big-screen budget display, Best Buy has this 75-inch 4K TV on sale for $549.99. This entry-level TV from Samsung packs a solid 'Crystal' UHD 4K processor, an easy-to-use Tizen operating system, and full HDR support all for under $600. That's good value for money if you need a straightforward but capable display for your everyday viewing and media streaming.
The Samsung S90D is the newest version of the five-star-rated Samsung S90C so it carries many of the same qualities and features that made the original one of the best TVs you can buy. These include terrific overall picture quality, impressive levels of brightness, rich contrast and colors, and industry-leading performance for watching movies, enjoying shows and smooth gaming. This offer brings the 65-inch version of the display down to a new record-low price.
The LG C4 OLED TV is still one of the best TVs you can buy for its incredible picture quality and excellent performance at all content you throw at it – and now this massive 77-inch model is down to a record-low price. The C4 features exceptional brightness, LG's latest Alpha 9 AI chip for improved performance, and impressive gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support, and 144Hz certification from Nvidia. It's a versatile all-arounder that I recommend for watching shows, enjoying movies and playing the latest games.
Samsung's mid-range soundbar and subwoofer combo has got a big $270 discount in Best Buy's Black Friday sale. Even though the Dolby Atmos underwhelmed after trying it for our Samsung HW-Q600C review, this is still a good option for the price if you want a good value-for-money soundbar that will offer a strong improvement over your TV's in-built speakers.
Headphones & Earbuds
We rate these as some of the best bone conduction headphones for running and this is one of the biggest discounts yet. It's one not to miss if you want to try this unique technology that offers solid sound quality in a small and light design. It's only available in one color but this is one of the best deals I've seen ahead of Black Friday.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are at their lowest price yet. This model of Bose's QuietComfort earbuds builds on the company's spatial audio technology with the all-new Immersive Audio feature and Snapdragon Sound certification, the latest standard in Bluetooth connectivity. In short, these are Bose's most advanced noise-cancelling earbuds you can buy.
Laptops
Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Processor N200
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 64GB
OS - ChromeOS
I almost never see a laptop with 8GB of RAM for under $200 so this HP Chromebook 15 is a huge bargain in the Best Buy Black Friday sale. Even with that added performance, it's still a fairly basic device best suited to light use and schoolwork. That's backed up even more with the lean ChromeOS powering it and exceptional all-day battery life, making it an excellent portable option at a stunningly affordable price.
Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel i3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - Windows 11
If you'd prefer a cheap Windows laptop then Best Buy has a decent saving on this Lenovo IdeaPad 1i laptop. With an Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, it offers an acceptable level of performance for everyday use, basic work tasks and video calls. The 256GB SSD is a reasonable size that will easily fit all of your most important files and applications. A thin and light design, as well as a decent battery life, round out this solid portable machine for the price.
Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel i5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11
Best Buy's latest set of Black Friday laptop deals features this slightly older but excellent value all-around device. With an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a decent 512GB SSD, it's a terrific buy if you have a reasonable budget and need a device that will comfortably handle your day-to-day computing jobs and general work. Expect solid performance, good multitasking capabilities, speedy load times and decent battery life. Altogether, this is an impressive laptop for the price.
Display - 13-inch OLED
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11
This is the best discount I've seen on the new Microsoft Surface Pro – and it's a tempting buy after we were super-impressed in our Surface Pro 11 review. This version boasts a gorgeous 13-inch PixelSense Flow OLED display at 2880 x 1920 resolution so it looks sharp and crisp with some vibrant colors and deep blacks. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon X Plus processor ensures excellent battery life and combines well with its many AI features to simplify your life. There’s also 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage which will ensure speedy performance and enough storage space for your essential files and applications.
Smart home
Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick is half-price for this year's Black Friday sale at Best Buy – and matches the record-low I saw over Prime Day. It's a bargain price for the basic streaming stick and a good opportunity to pick one up for less if you're not a Prime member. It's a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls and the ability to control other smart home devices.
As the name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high definition 4K resolution. It's a good offer for a solid streaming stick that comes with access to all the major apps and supports voice controls through Alexa. This offer matches the previous record-low price we saw during last year's Prime Day so it's worth buying now as we likely won't see a better offer during Black Friday.
This is the lowest price I've seen for the newest version of Amazon's premium streaming device and beats the offer that was available to Prime members back in July by $2. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams the same content in the same quality as the standard 4K version, but the extra power inside means you get faster performance when navigating apps and searching for shows. Plus, it uses WiFi 6 technology to give you a more stable and consistent streaming experience.
Best Buy's early deals ahead of Black Friday feature the top-rated Blink Video Doorbell on sale for $29.99 - the same record-low price we saw during Prime Day. The Blink doorbell alerts you when motion is detected and features infrared night video and two-way audio. If you want a cheap and capable smart doorbell then today's offer is an unbeatable price.
Phones & Tablets
With its 6.8-inch OLED display, lightning-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a class-leading suite of cameras, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is a formidable pocket companion. Best Buy has discounted the excellent flagship phone by $350 for Black Friday, so if you've ever been tempted to splash the cash on this beast of a handset, now is the time to do so.
As an owner of the previous iteration of this handset, I'm a big fan of the Plus range in Samsung's phone lineup for the extra screen real estate for a small upgrade cost. And now it's $200 cheaper in the Best Buy Black Friday sale. In our Galaxy S24 Plus review, we described Samsung's latest middle child as "comparable" to the super-premium Galaxy S24 Ultra, and you should only really go for the more expensive of the two phones if you're a mobile photography fanatic.
The iPad 10.2 is back at its record-low price at Best Buy. This Apple tablet may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. If you need an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this can do it all without issue. Right now, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, nothing else can beat the Apple iPad 10.2 at this price.
Smartwatches
Save $50 on the up-front cost of either a Heritage or a Horizon (angular surface) design. The Oura Ring Generation 3 is a discreet, accurate tracker with loads of features, and at this price, it's perhaps better value than the Oura Ring 4. This discount saves you the lion's share of a year's subscription to the $5.99 a month Oura Membership, increasing the value of the overall package.
Garmin's impressive running watch has a fantastic touchscreen that provides bright and crisp AMOLED visuals. One of the downsides to many smartwatches is that they're often difficult for runners to use, especially when wearing gloves. The Forerunner 265 solves all these problems by providing a dedicated run button. At $100 off and down to a record-low price, there's no better time to get out of the house and go for a run.
Appliances
Here's an unmissable early Black Friday bargain if you're shopping for the best-selling and highly-rated Ninja Air Fryer. This popular appliance has six cooking functions including max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. It’s simple to cook from frozen while still getting super crispy results. With a large capacity, you can cook up to 1kg of fries or a 1.6kg chicken in each drawer. It’s perfect for feeding the whole family or batch cooking.
KitchenAid is a mainstay in the Bake Off tent and still the leader when it comes to high-quality stand mixers – but they do come with a hefty upfront cost. This healthy $120 discount on the premium Artisan model definitely takes the sting out, though. It comes with a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for mixing, kneading, and beating – everything the amateur or intermediate baker needs for the kitchen.
Here's a huge $440 discount on a powerful and advanced robot vacuum from big-name brand iRobot. We praised its ability to pick up dirt from carpet and hard floors, and its self-charging feature in our iRobot Roomba J7 Plus review plus the convenient self-emptying bin. It is a bit noisy and sometimes struggles with larger debris but this is a good overall option.
Our De'Longhi La Specialista Arte review called this 'an easy-to-use espresso machine that creates smooth, rich coffee with a thick crema'. It's obviously not the cheapest machine on the market right now but it is one that we highly recommend if you're serious about your home brews. Just note that this is a traditional espresso machine that takes grounds rather than pods.
Gaming
Nintendo comes out with a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle almost every year and they always represent killer value. You get a Nintendo Switch console, one of its best games, and 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online for multiplayer play. Overall, this is a roughly $80 saving compared to retail price.
Cameras
If you're looking for one of the best action cameras you can buy, then look no further than the GoPro Hero 13 Black. With this healthy $100 saving on the camera and a bundle of handy accessories, you'll be up and running in no time. The camera is easy to use, boasts 5.3K video for extra detail and cropping capabilities, and it's also rugged and completely waterproof to survive all of your wildest adventures.
This vlogging camera has Sony’s impressive SteadyShot stabilization technology, which looks amazing when filming 4K video footage. It also has industry-leading autofocus and face-tracking so your shot will always look amazing no matter what you're up against. The fully articulating screen means you can easily shoot in selfie mode while guaranteeing everything is framed perfectly. All for $399.99 for Black Friday? Bargain.
We rate the Alpha a7 IV as the best mirrorless camera for most people right now - mainly because it's a superb hybrid body that performs for both stills and video. With an excellent 33MP full-frame sensor and a game-changing auto-focus system, it's hard to believe you can get all that goodness for such a low price. Now is a great time to consider making the switch since this excellent flagship is currently sitting at its lowest-ever price.
