Best Buy Black Friday deals - My Top Picks

Dyson Digital Slim
Dyson Digital Slim: was $499.99 now $229.99 at Best Buy

Buying a Dyson vacuum cleaner for under $250 is almost unheard of so this is up there as one of the top offers in the Best Buy Black Friday sale for me. With the new Dyson Digital Slim, you get up to 40 minutes of runtime with a motorbar cleaner head designed for deep cleaning all floor types – and an advanced filtration system. Simply put, it’s all the essentials you need in a vacuum from the premium manufacturer.

Blink Outdoor 4
Blink Outdoor 4: was $399.99 now $240 at Best Buy

Best Buy has a huge $240 off this set of five wireless outdoor security cameras down to a new record-low price as part of its Black Friday deals. You get 1080p HD video, motion detection, and the option of two-way talk through the Blink app. A two-year battery life also means you can have the camera set up and running for a good amount of time. Of course, there's Alexa compatibility too, so you can see through cameras using your Echo Show or other displays. It's an impressive bundle for the price if you want to get started with an easy-to-use home security system.

Apple AirPods Pro 2
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249.99 now $169.99 at Best Buy

This is the best discount yet on the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.

TCL F35 Series 55-inch 4K Fire TV
TCL F35 Series 55-inch 4K Fire TV: was $279.99 now $179.99 at Best Buy

This mid-sized and brand-new 55-inch TCL TV supports high-quality 4K resolution, has smart capabilities with the Fire operating system, and a voice remote with hands-free Alexa controls. I've picked out this size in particular as it offers excellent value for money as an all-around display for everyday viewing – and even boasts premium Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and Game Mode features for even better audio and visuals for movies and gaming. All this for around $200 is an incredible Black Friday offer if your budget for a new TV is relatively tight.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: was $429 now $329 at Best Buy

This is a new low price for the fantastic Bose QuestComfort Ultra Headphones and it's a great deal considering that there's a clear step up in sound compared to other premium cans. Superbly detailed and energetic sound meets the best noise cancellation you can get right now, in a light and comfortable design.

Amazon Echo Pop
Amazon Echo Pop: was $29.99 now $17.99 at Best Buy

Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? The Amazon Black Friday sale includes the Echo Pop for just $17.99. This is the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now and one that we found was a fun, if somewhat basic, option in our Echo Pop review. For the money, however, you get a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free.

Apple MacBook Air M3 (2024)
Apple MacBook Air M3 (2024): was $1,099 now $849 at Best Buy

Display - 13 inches
Processor - Apple M3
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - macOS

If you'd prefer a more modern laptop, this is my top pick for a MacBook deal in the build-up to Black Friday. It's on the latest MacBook Air M3 at Best Buy - in particular the slightly upgraded 16GB configuration. That should afford an edge with overall performance and longevity and today's $200 discount at Best Buy also brings this listing down to its lowest ever price. Generally speaking, this isn't the cheapest MacBook deal I've seen (the M2 was $649 at one point) but it's probably the one I'd spring for right now if it were my own cash.

Sony PlayStation 5
Sony PlayStation 5: was $499.99 now $424.99 at Best Buy

The PS5 is the console I use the most and it's now down to a record-low price for Black Friday. This is just the console by itself and has everything you need to get started, including a controller and all cables. If you or the person you're buying for is a fan of NBA or Fortnite then you can also get bundles with the latest game or extras such as in-game items and V-Bucks included for the same price.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus: was $219.99 now $149.99 at Best Buy

This version from Samsung's budget tablet line-up has a less powerful processor compared to the Tab S range, a smaller 8.6-inch screen and only 64GB of storage. So, expect slightly slower performance and struggles with games or multitasking. However, if you only need a very basic tablet for light use – including general browsing, emails and watching videos – then it's up to the task and very affordable.

LG B4 48-inch 4K OLED TV
LG B4 48-inch 4K OLED TV: was $799.99 now $599.99 at Best Buy

The 48-inch LG B4 OLED TV offers unrivalled picture quality for the price and is down to its lowest-ever price in Best Buy's Black Friday sale. The combination of its self-lit OLED pixels and Dolby Vision enhance color and contrast beyond what the average backlit TV can do. Its built-in gaming features and 120Hz refresh rate also make it a deal that's unbeatable for gamers looking for an affordable small-screen upgrade. Overall, then, it's an excellent buy for anyone who needs a small display to watch TV or play games.

Sony WF-C700N
Sony WF-C700N: was $119.99 now $79.99 at Best Buy

The WF-C700N remain some of the best budget earbuds around, more than a year after their launch, especially now they've slipped to under $100 at Best Buy. Our five-star Sony WF-C700N review goes into why we rate them so highly, but the short version is that the mix of sound quality, noise cancellation power and comfort is basically unmatched. Especially at this price, which is a new record-low by $10.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus Coffee Maker
Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus Coffee Maker: was $159.95 now $99.95 at Best Buy

This upgraded version of the single-serve Nespresso machine comes in a sleek black design and can brew a large variety of caffeinated beverages. Plus, there's a detachable water tank on the side for easy cleaning and refilling. Not bad for a cheap and easy-to-use machine for the infrequent or less-fussy coffee drinker.

HP Chromebook 15
HP Chromebook 15: was $399 now $179 at Best Buy

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.

JBL Flip 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
JBL Flip 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker: was $89.99 now $69.99 at Best Buy

There's a reason JBL's Flip series is synonymous with good mid-range Bluetooth speakers, and that's because they make really good mid-range Bluetooth speakers. This is an older model so it's not a huge surprise it's got a big discount for Black Friday, but it still offers well-balanced sound and a suitably rugged design for on-the-go use.

Sonos Arc
Sonos Arc: was $899.99 now $699 at Best Buy

This is the biggest discount I've ever seen on the excellent Sonos Arc – and it's by some margin. This is a sensational five-star soundbar according to our Sonos Arc review, with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus for immersive and precise sound. At over $200 off, now's the time to buy this premium soundbar if you want a high-quality audio performance without the need for extra speakers or a subwoofer.

Amazon Fire TV Stick HD
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD: was $34.99 now $17.99 at Best Buy

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.

LG C4 55-inch 4K OLED TV
LG C4 55-inch 4K OLED TV: was $2,799.99 now $2,199.99 at Best Buy

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 reasonably-sized 55-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.

HP Envy 14 2-in-1 Laptop
HP Envy 14 2-in-1 Laptop: was $949.99 now $579.99 at Best Buy

This is a great price for a laptop with so much power and many handy features packed inside. High-end components such as the Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD give it superior all-around performance for work and multitasking. Then there's its flexibility as a 2-in-1 device so you can flip the 14-inch touchscreen around for a more tactile and smoother experience if you're just web browsing or streaming media.

Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop
Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop: was $999 now $699.99 at Best Buy

Graphics card: RTX 4060
Processor: Ryzen 7-7435HS
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

When it comes to bang for the buck, it's hard to beat this heavily discounted Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop at Best Buy. At $300 off, this machine is sitting at a brand-new record-low price and one that's cheaper than any other RTX 4060 gaming laptop right now. Not only is the price great here, but 16GB of RAM and a powerful Ryzen 7 chipset mean that this Lenovo has great performance right out of the box.

Samsung S90D 65-inch 4K OLED TV
Samsung S90D 65-inch 4K OLED TV: was $1,699.99 now $1,399.99 at Best Buy

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. It's the one I bought last Black Friday and I'm still loving it to this day. With the S90D you can look forward to 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 record-low price.

HP 15 Laptop
HP 15 Laptop: was $629.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

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.

Apple Watch Ultra 2
Apple Watch Ultra 2: was $799 now $719 at Best Buy

The latest Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a hefty discount for Black Friday. Underneath, it's the best Apple Watch on the market, with support for the latest WatchOS11 software. It has great chops for adventure, water sports, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, construction, and anything else you can throw at it. It's got phenomenal battery life, a bright display, and Apple's S9 chip.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $199 at Best Buy

If you want more affordable over-ears that don't compromise on quality then consider these Bose QuietComfort Headphones while they are down to a record-low price at Best Buy for Black Friday. As with the Ultra version, you get impressive noise cancellation, top-tier audio quality and 24 hours of battery life but in a much more affordable package.

EA Madden NFL 25 + College Football 25
EA Madden NFL 25 + College Football 25: was $69.99 now $29.99 at Best Buy

What do I think about these deals on Madden 25 and College Football 25? It's good! I'm sorry, Black Friday delirium might be setting in early this year. In any case, now's the time if you've been waiting to pick up either of the latest football sims from EA on PS5 or Xbox. It's been a long wait for a new College Football in particular, so definitely one to get now if you want to set off on the Road to Glory once again.

Garmin Forerunner 265
Garmin Forerunner 265: was $449.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

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.

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021)
Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was $329.99 now $199.99 at Best Buy

I've seen the iPad 10.2 stay at under $200 for a few months and while it's an older tablet the value for money is undeniable. If I were shopping for an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this is the one I'd buy as it can do it all without issue. The 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. And with new iPads here the chances are this one won't be available much longer.

GoPro Hero 13 Black Bundle
GoPro Hero 13 Black Bundle: was $449.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

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.

Microsoft Surface Pro 11
Microsoft Surface Pro 11: was $1,199.99 now $899.99 at Best Buy

Display - 13-inch OLED
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11

As a long-time Surface Pro owner, I'm considering an upgrade to one of these new models after this biggest-ever discount as 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 Elite 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 all of your essential files and applications.

HP Victus 15 Gaming Laptop
HP Victus 15 Gaming Laptop: was $799.99 now $429.99 at Best Buy

This seems ridiculously cheap for a gaming laptop after a huge $370 discount, but it's definitely on the lower end of the scale when it comes to power. However, if you just need an entry-level device that's capable of playing popular titles like Fortnite in 1080p – and then substituting in as a work laptop when you aren't gaming – then this is a really smart and affordable buy.

Sony WH1000XM4 Wireless Headphones
Sony WH1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: was $349.99 now $199.99 at Best Buy

The Sony WH-1000MX4 are older now but they are still some of the best over-ear headphones ever. These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's about $100 less than the newer Sony XM5 that are only a minor upgrade. We still rate these as the best headphones for most people, exactly because you can find them at a price like this during major sales such as Black Friday.

Shokz OpenRun Pro
Shokz OpenRun Pro: was $159.99 now $99.99 at Best Buy

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.

iRobot Roomba J7 Plus (7550) Robot Vacuum
iRobot Roomba J7 Plus (7550) Robot Vacuum: was $799 now $359 at Best Buy

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.

Samsung DU6950 75-inch 4K TV
Samsung DU6950 75-inch 4K TV: was $749.99 now $549.99 at Best Buy

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.

Apple MacBook Air M2 (2022)
Apple MacBook Air M2 (2022): was $999 now $749 at Best Buy

Display - 13 inches
Processor - Apple M2
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - macOS

This brand-new version of the MacBook Air M2 with a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM only launched a few weeks ago so I'm surprised to see it's already got a significant discount at Best Buy – but that's Black Friday for you. Even though a newer M3 version is available, we concluded that this is still one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. For those needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing and more intense workloads, this is a stellar offer on an Apple machine right now.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: was $1,299.99 now $949.99 at Best Buy

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.

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle: was $379.99 now $299.99 at Best Buy

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.

EDIT

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer: was $449.99 now $329.99 at Best Buy

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.

De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo Espresso Machine
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo Espresso Machine: was $699.95 now $499.95 at Best Buy

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.

Asus ROG Ally
Asus ROG Ally: was $649.99 now $499.99 at Best Buy

The Asus ROG Ally is a respectable Steam Deck competitor that delivers with its powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor. Its touchscreen display supports full HD up to 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. As for its memory, it effectively juggles tasks with 16GB of RAM and stores up to 512GB of games, apps, and more. Its lightweight build, cooling system, and other quality-of-life features also add to an otherwise solid package.

Oura Ring Generation 3
Oura Ring Generation 3: was $299 now $249 at Best Buy

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.

Sony Alpha a7 IV
Sony Alpha a7 IV: was $2,499.99 now $2,099.99 at Best Buy

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.

Sony Bravia 8 55-inch OLED 4K TV
Sony Bravia 8 55-inch OLED 4K TV: was $1,699 now $1,399 at Best Buy

The Sony Bravia 8 is back at its lowest price yet ahead of Black Friday. As one of the best TVs for sound, it's an ideal choice if you want stellar sound without paying extra for a soundbar. Its OLED screen might not be the brightest of them all, but it still manages to rival the picture quality of its competitors using its brightness-boosting Bravia XP Processor. You can even use it with your gaming console of choice thanks to the two HDMI ports (out of four total) that support 4K/120 Hz gaming.
