The 2024 MacBook Air is TechRadar's pick for the best overall Apple laptop and this is the first discount we've spotted on the new version with 16GB of RAM for improved performance. It also houses the super-powerful M3 processor, which is strong enough to support Apple Intelligence and the majority of advanced computing jobs you can throw at it, including video editing, photo editing, and coding. As part of the Air family, it measures only half an inch thick, with battery life that can reportedly last up to 18 hours.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: was $1,419.99 now $499.99 at Samsung

Samsung's Black Friday deal on the stunning Galaxy S24 Ultra has just got even better today. Previously, the carrier was offering $300 off this device upfront as well as a free storage upgrade but now it's been upped to $350 off. That's the lowest upfront price yet for the unlocked 512GB device so snap this one up before it's too late. Note that the exceptional trade-in rebate of up to $800 is also available today and that will also stack on top of the free storage upgrade if you would prefer to go down that route instead.

Dell XPS 13
Dell XPS 13: was $1,199 now $899.99 at Dell

Here it is, folks - the best deal yet on the latest Dell XPS 13. Complete with a brand-new Snapdragon X Elite chipset, this model is capable of not just exceptional day-to-day performance, but also battery life that's simply a cut-above what Windows laptops usually offer. Alongside superb specs, the latest XPS 13 also features a gorgeous lightweight design and a display that's perfect for both work and casual everyday use.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: was $349.99 now $199.99 at Amazon

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.

Ninja is one of the most popular air fryer manufacturers, and this is a new record-low price for one of its latest and easiest-to-use appliances.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a better high-end pre-built gaming PC deal over Black Friday than this heavily reduced Alienware Aurora R16 in the Dell Black Friday sale. At $600 off, you get a great deal here considering it includes an RTX 4080 Super graphics card, 32GB of RAM, and a Core i9 chipset. Granted, the chipset is a little older but it's still an amazing pairing with the RTX 4080 for high-end performance right out of the box.

Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $399, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
This isn't a new promotion but Mint Mobile's current deal on the Google Pixel 9 is easily my favorite prepaid option for Black Friday. Right now, the carrier is giving new customers a massive $400 price cut on this awesome flagship device as well as one full year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. That's the cheapest possible price you can get for the unlimited plan at Mint Mobile so I highly recommend checking this one out if you're looking for a cost-effective plan + phone combo.

Black Friday deals 2024: Apple

Apple AirTag
Apple AirTag: was $29 now $19 at Amazon

The Apple AirTag is one of Apple's highly coveted gadgets, and it rarely gets discounted, which is why today's Black Friday deal from Amazon is so great. You can get Apple's location tracking device for just $19 - a new record-low price. If you tend to misplace your keys or wallet, attach the AirTag to anything you don't want to lose, and your iPhone will locate the item.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation)
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $159 now $89 at Walmart

AirPods are always popular during Black Friday, and Walmart has Apple's cheapest AirPods, the AirPods 2, on sale for just $89. That's the best deal you can find right now, only $20 more than the record-low price. This offer is highly recommended if you want new AirPods and don't need noise-canceling technology.

Apple AirPods Pro 2
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $159 at Best Buy

Limited time deal – ends 1am ET November 22 / 10pm PT November 21! This is $10 cheaper than AirPods Pro 2 have ever been before, but it's not staying around for 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 literally points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, so are great for comfort. The previous lowest price was $169, so absolutely do not miss this deal – they're amazing value for this price.

Apple Watch Series 10
Apple Watch Series 10: was $399.99 now $329 at Amazon

This might be Amazon's best Black Friday deal - Apple's all-new Apple Watch 10 on sale for a new record-low price of $329. The Apple Watch 10 includes upgrades such as Apple's new S10 chipset, sleep apnea detection, depth gauge, and a new design featuring the most advanced display. I don't expect you'll find a better price on Black Friday, and this offer is in danger of being sold out.

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

Apple's best-selling 10.2 iPad dropped to $199.99 during Prime Day, and Best Buy has brought this excellent deal back ahead of Black Friday. While the tablet is an older model, it still packs a 10.2-inch Retina display, and the A13 Bionic chip ensures excellent picture quality and superior performance. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue, according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review, whether browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games.

Apple iPad 10.9 (2022)
Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $279 at Amazon

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 $279. 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.

Apple iPad mini (2021)
Apple iPad mini (2021): was $499 now $349.99 at Amazon

Apple's previous-gen iPad mini is a fantastic all-rounder. Its powerful A15 Bionic chip delivers all the performance most people need, while the 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is small enough to make the device beautifully portable. The mini's display has True Tone support, P3 wide color, and ultra-low reflectivity, so it looks great wherever you're using it. Today's Black Friday deal brings the price down to an all-time low.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch (2024)
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (2024): was $599 now $499 at Amazon

The new iPad Air is the closest thing you can get to an iPad Pro without having to pay upwards of $1,000, which is why we believe it's the best iPad for students in 2024. For over half the price of Apple's professional-grade iPad, you'll get a beautiful Liquid Retina display, a MacBook-level M2 chipset, a landscape-oriented front-facing camera, and landscape stereo speakers with spatial audio. Amazon's $499 deal is a record-low price, though right now it's only available on the purple and blue variants.

Apple MacBook Air M1
Apple MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $649 at Walmart

While we've seen the Air M1 go for as little as $699 previously, Walmart has beaten that already excellent discount by a whole $50. Not only is this an outstanding price for such a powerful laptop that still holds up great for 2024, but this could be the last chance to pick one up now that it's officially discontinued. Don't miss this incredible deal if you're looking for a great bang for the buck MacBook.

HP Chromebook 15

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.

Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $298 at Amazon

Quite simply the best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup.

They don't fold up like the XM4 but, as a quick glance at our Sony WH-100XM5 review proves, there's not much else to pick fault with.

Amazon has the top-rated Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum on sale for $299.99—just $4 shy of the record low. It offers powerful suction, and the inclusion of a self-emptying base solves one of the big irritations of robot vacuums, which is that they need to be emptied more often than uprights.

It is a bit noisy and sometimes struggles with larger debris but this is a good overall option.

Black Friday deals 2024: Gaming

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle: $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 the retail price.

Nintendo Switch OLED: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Nintendo also has you covered if you would rather splash out for the enhanced Nintendo Switch OLED, which boasts a better screen and more storage. As above, you also got a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership thrown in at no extra cost.

Xbox Series X

While not a massive saving in the grand scheme of things, it's always nice to see Xbox console discounts. This current deal puts the original model in the same bracket as the Digital Edition, and I'd personally recommending purchasing this console for the added physical media support.

If you're looking for a high-end camera this Black Friday, I'd recommend checking out both Adorama and B&H Photo this week. Both retailers have a ton of Black Friday deals on cameras right now on Sony, Nikon, Canon, and many other leading brands.

I track camera prices all year round and most of what I've found lines up with the previous record-low prices from previous retail events. These include deals on the Nikon Z8, the Canon R6 Mark II, and the brand-new Nikon Z6 III - which is barely a few months old as of writing.

Will there be another round of Black Friday deals next week?

With so many Black Friday sales already live you would almost think it was the big day itself, but no - there's officially a full week until the big day itself. Next week should bring another round of promotions at most of the big retailers but I would expect more variation rather than deeper price cuts to what's being offered on this page.

Generally speaking, retailers tend to post a good selection of deals ahead of the day these days then expand their sales out further when the day itself hits. There may be a few exceptions to this, however, such as Amazon lightning deals - which can pop up at any time and feature new record low prices! I'll of course update this page with any if I see them.

Amazon Kindle deals have been conspicuously rare over the past month so today's record-low price on the latest 2024 model is absolutely one to take a look out if you're interested. At $85, this one is cheap enough to potentially slot into the 'gift' category - and it's all you need for a top-notch e-reader experience if you're more of a casual reader. New features for this model include a brighter display and six-week battery life that's perfect for taking on long trips - maybe one to buy before you head off to your relative's house for the Holidays?

While we're on the topic of deals on Apple products - one of the best deals you'll find anywhere right now is Verizon's current promo on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Right now, the carrier is throwing in a free phone, iPad, AND Apple Watch alongside a new line on an Unlimited Ultimate plan. If you're a new customer switching over, then you'll also get a $200 gift card on the house as a holiday special, which is pretty bonkers considering you're already getting well over $1,000 in added value.

The catch, of course, is that you need a new line and the Ultimate plan (as the name suggests), is by far the priciest plan at the carrier. You'll also need to pay for additional cellular lines for that iPad and Apple Watch to claim them, which will cost an additional $15 per month on top of the phone so bear that in mind.

This just in - Apple has just announced the details for its upcoming 'Shopping Event' (yeah, that's Apple shorthand for Black Friday). Starting November 29th, you'll be able to get an additional gift card of up to $200 when you make an eligible purchase at the Apple Store.

This includes MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and even AirPods - although the pricier buys coming with a bigger gift card, naturally.

Ok, so here's some background and thoughts from a Deals Editor. This is essentially the same kind of thing that Apple always offers over Black Friday so it's not exactly a shock. Generally speaking, I usually recommend other retailers like Amazon or Best Buy over Black Friday for Apple products since they actually offer upfront discounts unlike the official Apple Store.

Where the Apple Store is strong is with trade-in discounts. If you're looking to hand over an old piece of tech, then Apple will give you decent rebates for phones and such, which is a nice pairing with the free gift card. These trade-ins are available all year round but the gift card is a Black Friday special. 

How does TechRadar actually find these Black Friday deals?

Ok, while we're doing a little FAQ section, why not let our readers peak behind the curtain at the inner workings of our site. As an overview, TechRadar is a collective of over forty staff members of all shapes and sizes - and of varying subject expertise. We review hundreds of products every year and write in-depth buying guides, which both massively inform what we recommend with our lists.

When it comes to Black Friday, our team finds deals the hard way - by basically searching through retailer pages to find deals on our favorite models. There's nothing fancy going on really, we just recommend deals that we know are record-low prices on models that we know are worth your hard-earned cash!

Why are retailers so eager to offer early Black Friday deals?

Honestly, I don't know the real answer to this question but I imagine it's almost certainly to do with both the operational demands of a big one-day event and the retailer's bottom line. It's basically a trend now to see retailers offer Black Friday sales earlier and earlier. We've had early sales for well over three weeks now so 2024 is no exception in this case. It's a very busy time to be a Deals Editor!

How good are these early Black Friday deals really?

It's a question I ask myself daily right now - are these actually the real deal or just some appetizers before the real big sale next week? So far, I'd say that these early deals are definitely of higher quality than the ones from previous years. They're nearly all record-low prices so I'm cautiously happy to recommend them to our readers - particularly at retailers like Best Buy that have an extended holiday price match guarantee.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra certainly isn't for everyone - it's a rather chunky watch indeed and best suited to those who can truly harness its robust line-up of out-door focused features. That said, it is easily the best smartwatch right now for those who fit the bill.

Today's Black Friday deal at Samsung is the best yet on this relatively new model. We've seen the trade-in rebate of up to $250 off before but right now there's also an upfront $160 discount that's the main draw. Combine these together for a big discount on a big smartwatch!

Samsung S90D OLED TV on orange background with price cut sign

The best TV deal this Black Friday? It's almost too close to call but I'd single out this excellent record-low price on the latest Samsung S90D OLED TV as an option. The S90D is the successor to our favorite TV from the past year or so (the S90C) so it's an easy recommendation to make.

We haven't quite got round to reviewing this particular model just yet but all the hallmarks of an excellent TV are here. Plenty of ports and high refresh rate for next-gen gaming? Check. Gorgeous OLED panel? Check. Decent Black Friday price cut? Yep, check there too.

Apple MacBook Air 15 M3 on purple background with big savings text overlay

I've lost count of the number of times I've recommend the latest Apple MacBook Air M3; it's easily one of the best laptops money can buy if your budget is around $1,000. Naturally, I'm going to recommend it again now it's Black Friday considering the 16GB/256GB configuration is currently sitting at its lowest-ever price over at Amazon.

As an overview, the MacBook Air is a superb option for both work and casual use thanks to its powerful chipset, fanless design, and almost unbeatable battery life. It's lightweight, looks great, and supports all the apps that makes it a favorite for creatives. Overall, you can't go wrong with this one - particularly since the 16GB configuration is a little more future-proofed than the entry-level 8GB model.

Samsung Home Appliances

And now for something completely different, well kinda. As previously mentioned, Samsung Black Friday deals are easily some of the best you'll find anywhere - and that applies not just to the brand's excellent lineup of phones and TVs, but also to its vast range of large appliances.

Discounts on ranges, refrigerators, washers, and so on aren't exactly rare at the Samsung site, they happen pretty much every federal holiday, but the Black Friday deals are just a little better. Generally speaking, we usually see discounts of up to $1,600 off these high-end white goods but right now the savings cap out at $1,700. If you're looking for the best possible price on that new washing machine, then this could be a good time to buy.

I think this is another deal that could potentially sell out before Black Friday. Over at Mint Mobile, you can get an absolutely massive $400 price cut on the latest Google Pixel 9 if you pick it up with one of the carrier's excellent prepaid plans. This is easily the cheapest upfront price I've ever seen attached to this flagship phone.

The catch, of course, is that you'll need to be a new customer so this isn't a straight-up buy-a-phone-unlocked type of situation. You can, however, pair the device up with the carrier's current deal on the unlimited plan - which gets you a full year of service for just $180, which is pretty damn cheap in my books.

I love Samsung Black Friday deals - they're easily some of the best you'll find anywhere each year, in my opinion. It's no surprise, then, that the official Samsung Store has an exceptional line-up of promotions currently available on the Galaxy S24 Ultra - one of our favorite phones of 2024 here at TechRadar.

Right now, you'll be able to score a free storage upgrade alongside either a trade-in rebate of up to $800 or a flat $350 discount. The latter promotion in particular is an exceptional deal here and enough to bring the 512GB model down to a new record-low price of just $949. Not bad!

One of the worst things about my job is when I find a Black Friday deal on something I really want but just can't afford it. This is one of those deals - it's on one of the latest Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PCs, which have awesome deals across the board at the official Dell Store's Black Friday sale.

The configuration that's caught my eye in particular is the one with an RTX 4080 Super graphics card, Intel Core i9 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. These are high-end specs and today's price of just under $2,000 is a decent deal for a machine of this calibre. Generally speaking, similar machines at other retailers are fetching north of $2,000+ so I'd say this is definitely one early Black Friday deal to consider.

Dell XPS 13 2024 on green background with lowest price text overlay

(Image credit: Future)

Here's a deal that I think could sell out ahead of Black Friday. It's on the very latest Dell XPS 13 - you know, the one with the fancy new Snapdragon processor. XPS deals have been pretty commonplace over the past few months but the best price cuts have generally been on the slightly older Intel-based systems. 

Those models are still great but this is the XPS 13 to get if you want the cutting edge. The Snapdragon X chipset inside affords almost unbeatable battery life - something that has alluded the Windows machines when compared to the latest MacBooks. Of course, it's still plenty powerful for both casual and work uses. Today's Black Friday deal brings this one down to its lowest ever price so definitely consider picking it up ahead of next week.

Good morning! Welcome to our big early Black Friday deals live hub. You may be wondering why we're launching this a full week early. Well, that's because most of the big retailers have already launched their sales now so it's well worth checking out what's available ahead of next week.

As always, it's worth shopping early - not only because you've got more time to make a considered purchase, but also because there's always an outside chance that some deals could sell out. A few examples that have sold out already are some iPads at Amazon and the stunning Samsung S90C - one of our favorite TVs here at TechRadar.
