Why Building Weird Projects Makes You a Better Developer
Have a project idea in mind, but think it's too niche? I, too, was in your shoes until I finally scrapped that thought and started building whatever wild idea hit me. Many projects later, I've now realized that no matter how laughable an idea may sound, I should consider it. Here's why.

The best Black Friday iPad deals still live: Record lows on M4 iPad Pro and 11-inch iPad
It's that time again, folks: Black Friday sales are officially extending into Cyber Weekend. Lots of Apple gadgets are on sale for record-low prices this week, including all current- and recent-gen iPads. While most models are down to their lowest prices, we were hoping for even bigger discounts.
Shoppers can save anywhere from $50 to $200 on Apple tablets across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. (The Apple Store itself is just giving away free gift cards with eligible Black Friday/Cyber Weekend purchases.)
Below, we've rounded up the absolute best Black Friday iPad deals still available. Deals are maxing out at 25% off, and the basic iPad is the best deal at the moment, going for $274. We'll continue to monitor their availability and add new picks if/when they pop up as Cyber Weekend continues, so check back often.
Best Black Friday iPad deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $274 at Best Buy$349 Save $75 Get Deal Why we like it
We would have loved to see a sub-$250 iPad for Black Friday Extended, but alas, we'll take a $274 iPad instead.
Our favorite budget iPad is now more affordable than ever: Best Buy has the 128GB base model on sale for just $274, or $75 off. The 11-inch tablet comes with a peppy A16 chip, Touch ID, and 12MP front and rear cameras. Our reviewer called it "great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading." Even when you bundle it with an also-on-sale USB-C Apple Pencil or first-gen Apple Pencil, it's still cheaper than any iPad Air or Pro.

Now that the M5 chip has arrived, the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is no longer the shiniest new model on the market — but that doesn't mean much in the era of iterative upgrades. When our reviewer tested it last year, she said it "blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance." It's more than most people need, but great for professional artists and creatives. While most of this weekend's Black Friday and Cyber Monday iPad discounts top off around $50 to $100, this M4 iPad Pro's 256GB base model is chilling at $200 off. It's $100 cheaper than its M5 equivalent.

The best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals still live: Get games, controllers, accessories, and more for less
Black Friday is the time to stock up on the things you — and everyone on your list — want the most. Sure, you could go for the boring essentials, but what's the fun in that? If you're looking to stay entertained this holiday season, check out these Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Black Friday deals.
So far, we haven't spotted any deals on Switch consoles. The best you can do is snag one of the Switch bundles, which includes popular new games like Mario Kart World or NBA 2K26. That ends up saving you a few dollars, which can go toward even more games.

Here are all the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals we've spotted.
Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch console deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499 at AmazonGet Deal Why we like it
The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't getting any traditional discounts this Black Friday, per se, but that doesn't mean you can't get a good deal on one. Case in point: this bundle that nets you the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself and a copy of Mario Kart World. A Switch 2 on its own is $449, and Mario Kart World alone is $79, so you're still seeing a savings of $30 by getting the bundle. If you need the Switch 2 system itself and want something great to play along with it, this is the best bet by far. You'll get hours of entertainment out of Mario Kart World and still save some cash. Win-win! Additionally, there are similar bundles to choose from that go in and out of stock, so it's best to keep checking back if there are certain games you're looking to score alongside your system.

The best Black Friday Samsung deals still live: The Frame TV, Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and more
Black Friday is in full swing. While the annual shopping event doesn't technically start until Nov. 28, plenty of retailers like Amazon and Best Buy's sales kicked off the savings early in 2025 and have already delivered the lowest prices of the year. Samsung deals are particularly delivering, with all-time lows on several Galaxy phones, tablets, and watches, monitors, TVs, and more. This is hardly surprising, though, as Samsung is one of the brands we regularly see big discounts on during major shopping events.
On Black Friday proper, we're still hoping for some larger price drops on Samsung's foldables and earbuds, most categories already have standout discounts on hot ticket items. For instance, the 2025 Frame and Frame Pro TVs are at record lows, as is every iteration of the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, S10 FE, and S10 FE+, and Galaxy Tab S11.
Read on for a rundown of the best Samsung deals live ahead of Black Friday, and stay tuned as the season unfolds. We'll update this list with any new discounts that pop up
Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.
Best early Black Friday Samsung Galaxy phone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (512GB, unlocked) $1,019.99 at Amazon$1,419.99 Save $400 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal Why we like it
One of the top dogs of the Samsung Galaxy phone lineup, the S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage, has dropped to a new best price ever for Black Friday. If you're already sporting an S24 model, you probably can skip this upgrade, but if you're rocking an older handset and want to catch up with the times, this 2025 release is a great choice. It's a bit heavy on the AI, but it's got a lot of other perks, including a nearly 27-hour battery life that keeps you from being tethered to an outlet. It features an incredibly powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a new 50 MP ultra-wide lens, a fun "Now Brief" widget and other S25 Ultra-exclusive AI features, and new curved edges and a lighter build. Grabbing an unlocked model at Amazon saves you the trouble of coordinating a trade-in or data plan at a specific carrier. Plus, it's a lot cheaper at $1,057.91.

Samsung released the new Odyssey G6 OLED monitor over the summer — the first-ever gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate. And for Black Friday, you can get it for its best price yet.

It also has plenty of ports for your peripherals, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, three USB ports, and a single DisplayPort 1.4 port. You can find the Black Friday deal on the 27-inch monitor (the only size it comes in) at both Amazon and Best Buy. At the time of writing, it's $50 more at Samsung's own website.

The best Black Friday speaker deals still live: Shop new lows on Bose, JBL, Sony, Ultimate Ears
'Tis the season for blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You", and you can't do that without a quality speaker. Fortunately, as we're officially in Black Friday season, you can grab plenty of speakers at their best prices of the year.
While Black Friday technically falls on Nov. 28 this year, retailers' sales are here for a head start on holiday savings. Speaker discounts from brands like Bose, JBL, Sony, and Amazon are already pretty impressive. We're still waiting on some heavy hitters from Sonos and Ultimate Ears to get the deal treatment, but we expect those to drop within the next week.
We'll be tracking the best speaker deals throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices.
Best Black Friday speaker deal Opens in a new window Credit: JBL JBL Charge 6 $129.95 at Amazon$199.95 Save $70 Lowest price ever🔥 Get Deal Why we like it
While Mashable's shopping team has tested a lot of Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Charge 6 reigns supreme as our top pick for most people. At just 2 pounds, it's lightweight enough to tote around just about anywhere. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. But don't let its size fool you — this baby is powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party. And as a bonus, it can even charge your other devices via USB-C (hence the name). The only downside is that its list price is $20 more than its predecessor. Fortunately, this Black Friday deal at Amazon and Best Buy drops it down to a more budget-friendly price of $129.95.
Best Black Friday Soundbar deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus $149.99 at Amazon$249.99 Save $100 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal Why we like it
If your TV's picture and sound aren't quite on the same level, Amazon's Fire TV Soundbar Plus is an affordable way to give things a boost. While Amazon's basic Fire TV Soundbar wasn't anything to write home about, the Soundbar Plus really steps things up with three full-range speakers, three tweeters, and two woofers that pump out sound in every direction. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS TruVolume, and features a dedicated center dialogue channel to keep voices crisp and clear. You can also use it as a home Bluetooth speaker when your TV is off. At $149.99, it's $100 off for a 40% discount and its lowest price on record.

The best Black Friday deals on Ninja: Mashable-backed Ninja Creami, Crispi, and Slushi still on sale
Just about every major retailer has gotten in on the Ninja appliance deal action this Black Friday — and not gonna lie, the deals were pretty mid. But SharkNinja's official website has swooped in with an absolutely phenomenal Black Friday sale. Not only are big-name Ninja gadgets like the Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl, Ninja Slushi, Ninja Crispi, and Ninja Luxe Café on sale at record-low prices, but SharkNinja is throwing in a free gift with most of them.
It's not just some shoddy free $15 accessory, either. From insulated margarita glasses and travel mugs to a whole Ninja blender for free, these free gifts are all between $48 and $148 in value. (Shark vacuums and Shark hair tools come with awesome free stuff too, BTW.)
SEE ALSO: What time Black Friday sales start for Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and moreThough there's no question that the actual SharkNinja website is the best place to buy Ninja products on sale for Black Friday, there are still an overwhelming amount of deals to keep track of. We've pulled out the very best Ninja Black Friday deals as of Nov. 26 for super easy comparison. We’ve tested most of these products, so we know when a price drop is genuinely worth your money.
Best Ninja air fryer deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer $159.95 at SharkNinja$179.99 Save $20.04 Comes with a free spatula and Crispi container ($48 value) Get Deal Why we like it
It's been tricky to find a deal on the unique portable Ninja Crispi air fryer. The best we were getting was a measly $20 off (just an 11% discount) at Amazon — that is, until SharkNinja sweetened the deal by matching that sale price, and throwing in a free spatula and extra glass Crispi container for free. That's a $48 value for free, plus the $20 from the actual discount.
The Ninja Crispi is a Mashable fave and unlike any air fryer you've seen before. Rather than making you dump your fried food out from a basket or off of a tray, the Crispi air fries food directly in a grab-and-go glass container (just add a lid). The six-cup container is designed for personal meals (and can cook them in about seven minutes), while the four-quart container is large enough to cook a four-pound chicken and veggies in one go.
Fun bonus: The SharkNinja website has more color options than Amazon. Our favorite is Mango Clouds.
Best Ninja Creami deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl ice cream amker $279.99 at SharkNinja$349.99 Save $70 save $120 with code DAY4 Get Deal Why we like it
The daily promo code from SharkNinja's direct website just beat Amazon's sale price by a full $50. On Nov. 26, use code DAY4 to grab the Scoop and Swirl for $229.99 compared to $279.99 at Amazon.
Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino has tested just about every popular Ninja kitchen appliance that pops into your head. So take it from the expert when she declares the Ninja Swirl to be better and more fun than the original Creami. Even Oprah put it on the 2025 list of her favorite things.
The Swirl makes ultra-creamy yogurt like soft serve and doesn't require re-spins like the Creami, which primarily makes more hand-scooped-like ice cream. But any seasoned sweet toother could be in the mood for either depending on the day, making this Scoop and Swirl combo deal pretty unbeatable.

The best Black Friday tablet deals still live: Record-low deals on Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Lenovo, and more
Black Friday is, without a doubt, the best time to buy tech. Prices drop on laptops, TVs, and tablets, which is perfect timing with the holidays fast approaching. If you're getting ready to buy the latter, a tablet, now is a great time. We just spent the past few months re-evaluating our guide to the best tablets, meaning these portable devices are front of mind. And most importantly, they're now on sale just in time for Black Friday.
SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Get live updates on the latest sales, doorbusters, and deal dropsThere are a lot of tablets on sale, and even better, there are more than just iPads discounted. You can find devices from Samsung, Lenovo, and Amazon all on sale for hundreds off. Plus, we're pleased to see our very favorite Android tablet is on sale, too. These are the best tablet deals for Black Friday.

Most iPads are discounted ahead of Black Friday, but the best deal is on the iPad Air with M3 chip. We determined it's the best iPad for most people, with a superior processor to the basic iPad, allowing you to do any work task you'd do on a computer. But at $449, it's a fraction of the price of a laptop. It's currently $150 off of its $599 price tag, making it 25% off, one of the biggest discounts you'll find on any iPad for Black Friday.

Perhaps my favorite discovery of 2025 is the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, which convinced me that iPads aren't the only tablets worth buying. This small tablet is made for gaming, but it does an extremely good job at streaming in high definition and is the perfect size for travel. For Black Friday, it's down to $389.99, saving you $160 for a total of 29% off.

Having tested my way through the latest tablets, I won't lie, Amazon Fire tablets are not my favorite. I think they fall behind the crowd in terms of processing power, plus Amazon's app store pales in comparison to Apple's or Google's. That being said, if you want a cheap tablet, look at the Amazon Fire tablet. There are bigger discounts to be had on Amazon's tablets, but I think the best tablet to shop from Amazon is the Fire Max 11, which offers the best speed and processing.

The best Black Friday deals still live on essentials: Cleaning supplies, batteries, and toilet paper
Black Friday itself may be over but many deals are still live. And while it's true that the best Black Friday deals tend to be centered around upgrading to a massive TV, getting an Apple Watch at a record-low price, or loading up on stocking stuffers, Black Friday is also a great time to stock up on less exciting items. We're talking things such as toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels — stuff that's always part of the major sale but never gets the same kind of press.
But if you want to add stuff to your cart that you'll be majorly thankful for in the future, consider the boring but essentials. Come next month or even next year when you have a stockpile of batteries available for when the remote goes dead, you'll be very thankful that your Black Friday self swooped in on these deals. Plus, buying them online means you don't have to leave the house and drag all the grocery bags inside.

Are you still feeling full from your Thanksgiving meal? Yeah, us too. Thankfully, the Black Friday deals are still live and running hot into Cyber Weekend. All the major retailers have extended their sales events, and we're seeing record-low prices across the board on some of the best gifts like Kindles, noise-cancelling headphones, and Apple devices.
If you've been hoping to snag an Apple Watch for yourself or give one to someone truly special, then check out the year's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals. While we have Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're not expecting to see further price drops on these Apple smartwatches. As of this morning (Nov. 29), the trifecta of new Apple Watches — the SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 — is still on sale. All of these watches have been tested (and approved) by Mashable's tech experts.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is on sale for $339. That's a full $60 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 11, Stan Schroeder said it "isn't all that different from last year's model, but it has a significantly longer battery life, and that's a huge deal."

We loved the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Our reviewer even wore it during the New York City marathon, and it more than proved its worth. It features a large Always-On OLED Retina display with up to 3000 nits of brightness, not to mention an epic battery life, satellite connectivity for emergencies, and a full suite of health, stress, and sleep tracking metrics.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also a solid model (and also on sale), though select colors are selling out fast.
Best budget Apple Watch deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (GPS, 40mm) $129 at Walmart$169.99 Save $40.99 Get Deal Why we like it
If you're in the market for a new Apple Watch but don't want to spend big money, the 2nd-generation Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm) just got a price cut at Walmart, where it's available for $129 for a limited time only.
Apple has moved on to the Apple Watch SE 3 (which is also on sale), but that means you can snag great discounts on the previous model, and today is a solid case in point. But the older model is still great, offering tons of Apple Watch essentials like sleep tracking, fitness metrics, fall detection, and emergency SOS. Since this model is on sale for only $129, it could be a great gifting option or perfect for those new to the wonderful world of smartwatches.

The best Black Friday laptop deals still live: Save on Microsoft Surface, MacBooks, Asus Zenbook, and more
I write about all things laptops here at Mashable, and after spending hours digging through tech retailers' Black Friday sales, I'm delighted by the deals I'm seeing so far. A bunch of the best laptops we've tested are now on sale at steep discounts. That includes my top picks for most people, plus some more niche options in the budget, OLED, ultraportable, gaming, and dual-screen categories. You're not just saving a ton of money on laptops this holiday season — you're saving a ton of money on some truly great laptops.
SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and moreBlack Friday always coaxes out some of the best laptop deals of the whole year, so no surprises here. It's partly because retailers know that people are looking for good, giftable buys ahead of the holidays, but it's also because they're trying to offload their current inventories ahead of next-gen refreshes at the start of the following year. Enter: Record-low prices on MacBooks, Windows laptops, gaming PCs, and Chromebooks. Voila: An upgrade that's normally out of your budget is suddenly affordable.
Below, I've detailed the 14 top Black Friday laptop deals I've scouted so far. I've only picked the models that I'd happily add to my own cart if I was in the market for a new PC — they've all been tested and vetted by the Mashable team.
The M4 Apple MacBook AirsApple's latest MacBook Air is lightweight, quiet, and faster than 83% of the laptops in our entire testing database — it's a really impressive ultraportable. The 15-inch model is my top pick for most people, but the 13-inch model is great for college students and other users who want something a little cheaper and more portable. Both sizes were regularly on sale on Amazon for $200 off earlier this fall, and I really didn't think they'd get any cheaper at this point in their life cycles (considering they're still well under a year old). Shockingly, they're now $250 off at Amazon and Best Buy.

$1,199 Save $250 Get Deal The 14-inch M5 Apple MacBook Pro
The all-new MacBook Pro is my splurge pick if you want an Apple laptop with even more power, a brighter 120Hz display, more ports for creative work, and crazy-good stamina. (At 21 hours and 17 minutes, it has the longest battery life of any MacBook we've ever tried.) It debuted in mid-October at a starting price of $1,599 to a rave review from our tech editor. Right now, the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is just $1,399 at Amazon and Best Buy — a whopping $200 off. That's a massive discount on a brand-spanking-new laptop.

If you're in the market for a dirt-cheap-but-not-too-outdated MacBook, Best Buy has a refurbished 13-inch M2 MacBook Air from 2022 on sale for just $499.99. Walmart is selling the older M1 model for $549 as part of its Black Friday programming, so this is a genuine steal. It has a better 1080p FaceTime camera, a lighter design, and a bigger, brighter, display compared to its predecessor, and it runs about 15% faster. Since it only comes with 8GB of RAM, it's best suited for simple everyday tasks like web browsing and sending emails.
UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2025, 1:10 p.m. EST This deal was sold out at the time of writing, but Best Buy could revive it sometime later this Cyber Weekend. You can sign up for restock notifications on its product page.

Microsoft's current flagship laptop is a well-rounded machine with a virtually unrivaled 23-hour battery life, speedy everyday performance, amazing build quality, and an elegant, lightweight design. The 13.8-inch model with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU is my favorite Windows laptop for most people, and the silver model with my ideal daily driver setup (16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage) is down to an all-time low of $869.99 for Black Friday 2025. It usually sells for $1,399.99, so you're saving 38%. Meanwhile, it's $999.99 at Best Buy and on Microsoft's website.

This $699.99 Windows laptop wowed me with its 17-hour battery life, great mix of ports, relatively lightweight frame, 120Hz touchscreen, and peppy performance. (It's the fastest sub-$900 laptop we've reviewed.) Amazon has it on sale for just $449.99, or 36% off.

The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low.

If you can shell out an extra $250, you'll get an even nicer OLED display in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. It has a higher 3K resolution than the Zenbook A14, a better 90Hz refresh rate, and added touchscreen capabilities. It's a teensy bit faster, too, and it doesn't sacrifice much battery life — I got almost 20 hours out of it in my testing. Best Buy currently sells the base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $799.99, down from its usual price of $1,299.99. A 1TB version is available on Lenovo's website for $929.99, or 27% off.

The AMD-powered Lenovo LOQ 15 is "the perfect starter gaming laptop," says Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth; he's been working through his first Cyberpunk 2077 run on an RTX 5060 configuration. I can't find that one listed anywhere, but this RTX 5050 model is on sale for just $799.99 during Lenovo's Black Friday sale (or 33% off). It should be capable of running most graphically demanding AAA games at 60fps on a 1080p resolution. It features a 144Hz refresh rate and a spacious anti-ghosting backlit keyboard, plus a healthy terabyte of storage.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the ultimate non-gamey gaming laptop: With a 3.3-pound, 0.6-inch thin aluminum design and a beautiful 3K OLED display, it could easily be confused with a silver MacBook Pro. We tested an AMD model with RTX 4060 graphics last year, and I found the next-gen version on sale for only $1,299.99 at Best Buy. It usually retails for $1,799.99, so you pocket $500 in savings.

The Alienware 16X Aurora is my favorite gaming laptop for most people. It's an excellent mid-ranger featuring a 2.5K 240Hz matte display, a satisfying keyboard with one-zone RGB backlighting, and an attractive, port-packed design. The $1,999.99 variant I tested has a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage, and it's not on sale just yet. However, the same model with double the storage is only $1,649.99 on Dell's website (normally $2,099.99). That beats a competing deal at Best Buy by $50.

If you need more screen space than a regular laptop offers but don't love the idea of hauling around a separate monitor, allow me to introduce you to the latest Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It's a gorgeous dual-screen laptop with twin 2.8K 120Hz OLED displays, a smooth detachable keyboard, and a zippy processor. (It's actually slightly speedier than an M4 MacBook Pro.)
This laptop is usually priced at $2,079.99, but Lenovo has it on sale for just $1,559.99 — a 25% savings. It's a better value than ever, especially when you add the fact that its matching mouse, stylus, keyboard case, and protective sleeve case are all included.

Lenovo's convertible Chromebook Plus is my favorite Chromebook for most buyers because of its stellar build quality, decent performance, great speakers, and nice keyboard. There are two configurations available for $599: One with an Intel Core i5-1334U processor and 256GB of storage (which we tested), and another with a less powerful Intel Core i3-1315U processor and 128GB of storage. The latter is obviously a worse value at full price, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $349 (or $250 off), making it a great option for budget shoppers with basic needs.

Acer's all-new Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features an unrivaled 18-hour battery life and a fast processor (relatively speaking) with an NPU that supports two exclusive AI features. I've tried the Best Buy-exclusive configuration that has 12GB of memory and a 120Hz touchscreen display, which retails for $699, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's overkill for most Chromebook users, sure, but it's definitely worth considering if you want a high-end, super-future-proofed model — especially now that it's $100 off for Black Friday. It's never been on sale before.

The best Black Friday MacBook deals still live: Record-low price on MacBook Air M4 and MacBook Pro M5
Black Friday is technically over, but retailers are continuing to serve up significant discounts on MacBooks as we move into Cyber Weekend. In fact, the discounts currently live mark the lowest prices of the holiday shopping season for the core 2025 models — all of which are still on sale right now.
Amazon and Best Buy have rolled their Black Friday sales directly into their Cyber Weekend events, and their deals on Apple laptops remain strong. Some standouts include the M4 MacBook Air down to $749 and the very latest MacBook Pro with M5 chip, still getting its biggest discount yet, saving you $200.
SEE ALSO: Everything to know about Black Friday 2025: Best early deals, sale dates, price matching, and moreThese deals beat out what you're going to find at the Apple Store. As usual, the brand is hosting its Black Friday gift card promo, which gives you a small sum back to use on Apple products after you've made your purchase. But as far as discounts go, Apple will be bereft of discounts like those you can find elsewhere. Here's the good news, though.

We’ve named the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air the best option for students because it's incredibly lightweight and thin, which makes for ultimate portability. This model is currently on sale for just $749, and trust us, that's a serious bargain. We doubt you will see this price drop any lower throughout Cyber Weekend, so if you need a reliable machine for school, now's the time to grab it.

The best Black Friday drone deals still live: Score record lows on DJI drones before a potential ban
Drones have been all over the news lately, mainly due of DJI. While it's not official yet, it's possible that DJI drones will face a ban come December. Yes, December as in just a few weeks away. That means shopping Black Friday sales could be your last chance to snag a DJI drone, for a while at least.
Of course, this is 2025, and nothing is unexpected, so the buzz of a DJI ban could get swept off the table in an instant. But to be sure, consider this a great time to buy a new DJI drone, or any drone, for that matter.
Check back here as we continue to update this article throughout the Black Friday sale period. Keep in mind that if you're going with a DJI model, you might have to buy from a third-party seller. We've only included third-party sellers with positive reviews over the last year.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the DJI Mini 4K Drone is great for both beginners and expert drone fliers. Plus, it weighs less than 249 grams, which is the threshold for not needing a license in most locations to fly the drone. Other nice features of the DJI Mini 4K are the one-touch takeoff and landing function, in addition to the "return-to-home" command. Today's deal on the bundle gives you two batteries for up to 62 minutes of flight time. According to our favorite Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest Amazon has ever offered for this bundle.

The best Black Friday robot vacuum deals picked by a pro vacuum reviewer: Record lows on Roborock, Shark

A look at the best Black Friday deals on robot vacuums Best budget robot vacuum deal Eufy E20 3-in-1 $297.49 at Amazon (Save $202.50 at Amazon) Get Deal Best mid-range robot vacuum deal Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra $799.99 at Amazon (Save $500 at Amazon) Get Deal Best premium robot vacuum deal Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller $999.99 (Save $600 at Dreame) Get DealI test robot vacuums for a living and have been keeping tabs on robot vacuum deals trends for over half a decade — and I'd say Black Friday's count of robot vacuums on sale beats spring cleaning sales and even both Prime Days. It makes sense: Many brands release their new vacuums for the year at CES in January (or at least near the CES time frame), so Black Friday is often an eleventh-hour push to sell the "old" but still great robot vacuums from the past year.
SEE ALSO: Dyson Black Friday deals: Our favorite vacuum, air purifier, and hair tool are all on saleBlack Friday deals on robot vacuums are out in full force now that the day is actually here, and between Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, there are a lot to choose from. Take a few minutes to read up on what to look for in a robot vacuum, and assess the features that are non-negotiables in your home, then make your move. (Plus, see why to think twice about buying a Roomba this Black Friday.)
To make your life easier, I've organized the robot vacuum deals that are actually worth your money into a few categories: premium robot vacuum mop combos with 15,000 Pa suction power (these would be good for pet hair pickup), more budget-friendly robot vacuum and mop combos, and then a few non-mopping robot vacuums. I'll be updating this post with new drops, price updates, or stock changes through Cyber Monday.
Best Black Friday robot vacuum deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Dreame Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller $999.99 at Dreame$1,599.99 Save $600 Get Deal Why I like it
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is the most powerful robot vacuum on the mainstream market, and it's less than $1,000 for the first time ever for Black Friday. Spending that much on a vacuum probably sounds like brain rot to budget shoppers, but think of it this way: The Dreame's 30,000 Pa of suction power is more than 10,000 Pa stronger than the most powerful robot vacuums we saw on sale last Black Friday, and they were still hovering around the $1,000 mark. With the addition of a robust self-rinsing roller mop, this is a real bang for your buck.
I've been testing the Aqua10 Ultra Roller at home for over a month and can personally confirm its efficacy. Its pet hair pickup on rugs has impressed me the most: It has had about a 99 percent pickup rate for large clumps of cat hair that I put in its path and smoosh down into various pile heights. On patterned rugs that camouflage the layer of fur to the naked eye, I've ChomChom-ed the area after the Aqua10 Ultra Roller has done a few passes — and there's barely anything left over to get rolled into the ChomChom compartment. This carpet performance, plus a livestream pet camera, makes the Aqua10 Ultra one of the best vacuums a pet owner could have on hand (robot or not).

The best Black Friday deals still live on Amazon devices: Fire TV, Kindle, and Echo speaker deals are live
Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, a full week ahead of Black Friday proper. But as you probably know at this point, the actual dates of the sale are blurred beyond recognition. Many deals, particularly on Amazon's own devices, were already live days before the event — and will likely stick around after all is said and done. Other than Prime Day, Black Friday season is the best time of year to score an Amazon device for cheap.
SEE ALSO: What is camelcamelcamel? Just our secret weapon for finding the lowest prices on Amazon.Plenty of Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Fire TV Sticks, and Blink security cameras hit record-low prices early on. We were particularly impressed by the Fire TV deals, with some 2025 models up to $210 off. Not to mention the best Fire Stick deal I've personally ever seen is still going strong. Echo speakers and smart displays, as well as Kindles, were slower to trickle in, but have now dropped to truly epic all-time lows as well.
We're keeping track of all of the best Amazon device deals for Black Friday below. For deals beyond Amazon devices, be sure to follow along with all of Mashable's coverage in our Black Friday hub.

Amazon's best iPad competitor and our favorite Fire tablet, the Fire Max 11, is down to $189.99 (for the version with double storage) at Amazon during its Black Friday sale — more than 30% in savings. As Mashable's reviewer noted, "The Amazon Fire Max 11 has a large, 11-inch display and is blazing fast, making it a good alternative to pricier tablets for streaming and games." It also features 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, an octa-core processor, WiFi 6 compatibility, and a 14-hour battery life. While it is a couple of years old, it's the newest generation of the tablet available. (The 64GB model is currently sold out after a popular 39% early Black Friday discount. We'll let you know when it returns.)

The newest and fanciest Fire TV in Amazon's lineup, the 2025 Omni Mini-LED Fire TV is loaded up with specs. It packs hands-free Alexa, Interactive Art Mode (similar to Samsung's The Frame), a 144Hz refresh rate, and Intelligent Picture technology, which can fine-tune the details of whatever you're watching. With a 4K QLED mini-LED display featuring Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness, and 768 dimming zones, it's easily the best Fire TV picture quality to date. And now that the 55-inch model is down to only $694.99 — its lowest price on record — it's almost in budget-friendly territory.

Though Amazon is no longer basically giving away the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (we're keeping our eyes peeled for the return of coupon code that brought it down to $9.99) it's still a pretty solid deal at $19.99. It's the newest Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup and offers vibrant 4K quality with HDR10+ support, a new operating system called Vega, and the same plug-and-play design you know and love. It will soon also offer support for Alexa+, Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, Amazon Kids+, and NordVPN.

One of Amazon's most popular speakers got a boost last month. Meet the Echo Dot Max — a refreshed smart speaker built for Alexa+, the superpowered AI assistant that can do more than ever before. The Echo Dot Max is small (just slightly bigger than the Echo Dot), but powerful enough to fill large spaces with its 0.8-inch tweeter and a 2.5-inch woofer that support lossless, high-definition audio. It even has an included smart home hub. This is the first discount we've seen yet on the month-old speaker.

I've said it before, but the basic Kindle is my pride and joy, and I annoyingly recommend it to everyone I talk to. I projected it would drop to $79.99 for Black Friday, and I've never been so pleased to be right. That's $30 cheaper than usual and its best price to date. The basic Kindle is the most compact Amazon e-reader — it's small enough to slip into my purse — and has the same screen resolution and paper-like display as its more expensive sibling. The only downside is it's not waterproof, so just be extra careful when reading near water.
