25 Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday, including Samsungs The Frame, MacBooks, and more

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 03:29

The Mashable shopping team generally considers Black Friday to be a better shopping day than Cyber Monday, but only by a hair. While most holiday deals that pop up on Black Friday tend to linger through Cyber Monday, the selection is best early on, and only in rare cases do discounts improve over the course of the weekend. When it does happen, we want to make sure our readers are clued in.

So far, my colleagues and I have stumbled upon 25 Black Friday deals at Amazon and Best Buy that have gotten better now that both retailers are in Cyber Monday mode. Most of the price discrepancies are pretty significant, too. In the biggest instance, Samsung's 55-inch The Frame 4K QLED TV is a whopping $100 cheaper on Amazon now compared to 48 hours ago. Meanwhile, it's $102 pricier at Best Buy and Samsung's website.

If you purchased one of these items at a higher price and want to get reimbursed for the difference, keep in mind that price protection policies vary from retailer to retailer. Best Buy will honor better deals on almost anything you've bought there since Oct. 31, but Amazon doesn't offer any sort of price adjustments. You'll need to return and rebuy previous Amazon purchases that are now cheaper. (My take: Most of the following deals are definitely worth the hassle.)

Last call: You can still secure 1 year of HBO Max for $2.99/month before Cyber Monday ends

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 03:12

SAVE $96: The HBO Max Cyber Monday deal is still around for a few final hours, and we'd highly recommend taking advantage. New and returning subscribers can get a year of HBO Max with ads for just $2.99 per month ($35.88 total for the entire year), down from the usual price of $10.99 per month.

Opens in a new window Credit: HBO HBO Max Basic with ads $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal

There was no shortage of impressive streaming service promos this Black Friday season, with most of the good deals sticking around through Cyber Monday. But as the best streaming deals start to taper off as Monday comes to a close, we'd be remiss to not recommend the very best Cyber Monday streaming deal while it's still kicking.

Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max for just $2.99 per month, securing an entire year of HBO Max with ads for $35.88. It's certainly a breath of fresh air amid relentless announcements about streaming services raising their prices this year. If you don't grab this deal by the end of the day, an HBO Max subscription with ads will run you $10.99/month (a price hike that just happened in October), charging you $96 more for the year.

Not only is this one of the steepest discounts of all streaming services deals this year — it's also better than what HBO offered in both 2023 and 2024. HBO has historically only offered this $2.99 deal for the first six months, so they've fully doubled the savings window here. Even though this deal only applies to the tier with ads, we're willing to put those on mute for access to hit shows like The White Lotus, The Pitt, The Chair Company, and Task, plus A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms when it debuts on Jan. 18.

Happy hunting!

Read our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a brand new record-low price of $738.04 for Cyber Monday this year, beating out its Black Friday pricing by just over $10. This is our favorite laptop for students thanks to its speedy M4 silicon and slim, portable design. We weren't counting on this laptop dropping lower than its former $749 price, so if you've been waiting to grab the best possible deal on a MacBook Air, this is most likely going to be it. This model is currently listed as out of stock at Amazon, but you're still able to snag this epic deal. Hopefully, Amazon will be able to ship these out soon.

Now that the 65-inch TCL QM6K TV has sold out at both Amazon and Best Buy, our next-favorite affordable mini LED TV deal is unanimous.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $229.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

SharkNinja also showed up to the Cyber Monday party by offering really excellent free extras. Buying the Ninja Slushi directly from Ninja for $269.99 will give you a free travel tote worth $50.

As a hidden gem this Cyber Monday, Amazon is offering up to 60% off Legoland tickets with purchase of one of three Lego sets. All three eligible Lego sets are at least 30% off so this is a deal on top of a deal that could save you a ton of money on a future Legoland visit.

As you may have heard, DJI is facing a potential ban on its drones in the United States by the end of the year. A DJI company spokesperson told Mashable they expect customers will be able to keep flying their drones, but no one else will be able to buy them, possibly as soon as Dec. 23. That could make this your last chance to buy a DJI drone. This bundle has everything beginners need to get started, and this mini 4K camera drone can take your content to a new level — literally.

Please note this product is sold via a third-party seller on Amazon. We don't normally recommend deals like this, but this is the only way for U.S. shoppers to buy DJI drones right now.

Finding the perfect gift for parents can feel pretty impossible. Does anyone really need another pair of slippers or an extra mug that absolutely will not fit into the cupboard? We didn't think so. But photos always make for a wonderful gift, and these days, we have the joy of digital photo frames. Lucky for last-minute Cyber Monday shoppers, one of the best is still on sale.

As of Dec. 1, the Aura Carver 10-inch Digital Picture Frame is on sale at Amazon during Cyber Monday for only $139, marked down from the usual price of $179. That's a 22% discount that takes $40 off the price.

The Aura Carver's 10-inch HD display is one of the best gifts for moms and dads alike, helping them to enjoy photos of family and friends. It sits in landscape mode and can display a single photo or two photos side-by-side for up to 30 seconds. There's also a built-in speaker for video messages. Aura allows for unlimited cloud storage of photos and videos, so there's no limit to uploads. But keep in mind the Aura needs WiFi access to operate.

SEE ALSO: 15+ fun stocking stuffer ideas on sale for Cyber Monday: Self-care, card games, more

One of the best parts about the Aura digital frame is that people can upload photos and videos from anywhere. That means this gift to a parent can be a fun way to keep them updated throughout the year. The Aura app's scanner is also perfect for adding printed family photos onto the Carver frame.

Another highly giftable feature of the Aura Carver frame is that you can set it up without even opening the box. From the Aura app, you'll be able to pre-load photos, videos, and messages either with the QR code on the frame's box or with the help of the Aura app.

Before this deal disappears when Cyber Monday ends, snag a memorable gift for parents with the Aura Carver Digital Photo Frame. It's on sale during the final hours of Cyber Monday at Amazon for $139.

And one of the most popular streaming offers is about to end. For a few more hours, you can save over half off the cost of an Apple TV+ subscription.

So, if you've realized that Apple is putting out some of the best shows, you'll want in on this deal.

Through Dec. 1, both new and returning subscribers can cash in on getting Apple TV+ for just $5.99 per month instead of the normal $12.99, for the first six months. In total, that'll save $42. Sign up either with Apple TV+ or as an add-on to Prime Video if you're already an Amazon Prime member.

Keep in mind this deal only extends to the first six months, so you'll want to set a reminder in your phone to cancel before time is up, or be prepared to pay the $12.99 per month. Before this deal vanishes, secure yourself six months of solid entertainment with Apple TV+ for just $5.99 per month.

The 7 best smartwatches of 2025 include some surprises

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 02:18

After a very busy fall, we finally have the new lineup of smartwatches from Apple, Samsung, and Google. And so whether you're team Apple or team Android, you have excellent choices for your wrist. Now that we've tested the major new releases, we're ready to name the best smartwatches of 2025. We have good news: As long as you stick to the flagship smartwatches from these three brands, you really can't go wrong. So, after extensive testing, 508 miles of training, and running the New York City marathon with a rotating cast of 10 different smartwatches, we're ready to name the top smartwatches for every use case.

The best smartwatches, at a glance: Best for most people Apple Watch SE 3 $199.00 at Amazon Shop Now Best Apple Upgrade Apple Watch Series 11 $329.00 at Amazon Shop Now Best Android Smartwatch Google Pixel Watch 4 $299.99 at Amazon (save $50) Shop Now Budget Pick Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro $79 at Amazon (save $20) Shop Now The Dark Horse Pick Apple Watch Ultra 2 $599 at Amazon (save $200) Get Deal Budget Fitness Tracker Fitbit Charge 6 $99.95 at Amazon Get Deal Best Samsung Smartwatch Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 $249.99 at Amazon (save $100) Get Deal The smartwatch market is getting very crowded, and that's good news

In just the past few months, Samsung, Google, and Apple all released new flagship smartwatches. On top of that, the Venn diagram of the best smartwatches and the best fitness trackers is fast becoming an almost perfect circle. While brands like Garmin and Fitbit are more tailored to athletes than everyday use, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra lines are packed with fitness-focused features. And don't forget, you can also opt for smart rings and sleep trackers for true 24/7 health tracking.

There's also a huge range in price. Recently released smartwatches include the relatively affordable Apple Watch SE 3 ($239.99 ) all the way up to the ultra-pricey Garmin Fenix 8 Pro ($1,199.99 to $1,999.99). However, you don't have to spend very much to get a kick-ass smartwatch. In fact, even if your budget caps out at $100, you still have good options. Case in point: the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, priced at $99 but often available for $79.

So, which wearables deserve a spot on your wrist? We're ready to render a verdict, and let's just say we have strong feelings and a couple of picks that might surprise you.

Yes, we chose not to include the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 (for now). Yes, we think the $99 Nothing Watch is a smarter buy than the new Galaxy Watch 8 (which we also love). No, we really don't think we can recommend the $1,999.99 microLED Garmin smartwatch, no matter how cool it is.

Note: Most of these smartwatches are on sale for Cyber Monday and the holiday shopping season. If you've been waiting to grab a smartwatch at a great price, now's the time. And if you want a little extra input, check out Mashable Senior Reporter Christianna Silva's experience running the New York City Marathon with 10 different smartwatches.

The best smartwatch for most people: Apple Watch SE 3 Credit: Apple

We're still in the process of testing the Apple Watch SE 3, but it's an Apple Watch — you know what you're getting. And here's the truth about the SE series: You get 98 percent of what you need from an Apple Watch or fitness tracker, and at a much better price. Unfortunately, you do take a hit on battery life. With 18 hours (versus 24 hours in the Series 11), you can't really call this an all-day smartwatch. And while you also miss out on blood oxygen monitoring, is that really crucial to the average user? We don't think so.

Add to that the fact that the SE 3 is the first Apple Watch SE to include an always-on display, and you have to wonder why you'd buy the Series 11 in the first place. In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch — all for $150 less than the Series 11.

OK, so you really, really do want all-day battery life? Then you really do need to upgrade to the $399 Apple Watch Series 11. As Mashable's Stan Schroeder said in his review, it takes everything we loved about the Apple Watch Series 10 and adds a new processor and longer battery life. To be honest, there's not a lot to say beyond that. Apple can once again monitor your blood oxygen (after a legal dispute took away the feature), and now offers hypertension notifications as well.

The Google Pixel Watch 4 looks really similar to the Pixel Watch 3 at first glance, but look more closely, and you'll notice a slightly more domed Actua display. It's a subtle change, but we think it makes the new smartwatch look absolutely gorgeous. We don't hate the "squircle" design of the Galaxy Watch 8 like some folks, but after comparing it to the Pixel Watch 4, let's just say Google takes this round.

We were also impressed by its feature set. Mashable senior reporter Christianna Silva trained for the New York City Marathon while simultaneously testing 10+ smartwatches in the process, and they said the Pixel Watch 4 is a true runner's watch. That means it's elegant enough to wear to the office, but comfortable and smart enough to monitor workouts.

With a modern feel and a brighter display than the Pixel Watch 3, it's our current top choice as the best Android smartwatch.

Mashable readers have been going a bit gaga for this smartwatch ever since it was announced in July. And after testing it out for ourselves, we get it. We'll have an in-depth review of this budget smartwatch coming soon, but our reviewer had this to say: "I'm shocked by how awesome it is for the price." If you're looking for the best smartwatch under $100, nothing else comes close.

The British brand Nothing is known for its unique designs, which somehow look both retro and futuristic at the same time. CMF is the brand's budget line (which will soon be spinning off into its own company), but this doesn't perform like most cheap smartwatches. First of all, it offers direct ChatGPT integration, which even the Apple Watch can't do. Samsung and Google are eager to make you use their own AI tools, but if you prefer ChatGPT (and we know you probably do), then you'll love this watch.

Key specs include an extra-long battery life (Nothing promises 13 days), blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking, and precise heart-rate monitoring and location tracking. For a smartwatch that often goes on sale for $79, that's frankly hard to believe.

Wait... the Ultra 2? Yes, the Ultra 2, not the latest flagship Ultra 3. Hear us out...

First, so long as you upgrade to the new watchOS 26, you can enjoy almost all of the new features that come with the pricier Apple Watch Ultra 3 (priced at $799, or $779.99 at Amazon). Plus, you can now pick up the past-gen Ultra 2 on sale for just $649, a big difference over the new version.

Look, if you're the type of person who always wants the newest Apple gadget, spend more on the new model, which does have some upgrades. The display is a teensy bit better, as is the battery life. But honestly? That's about it. The new Ultra arrived with the most iterative possible improvements. At the time, our resident Apple reviewer called it "a very minor upgrade." So, for our money, we're going with the Ultra 2, which has a killer OLED display, 36 to 72 hours of battery, and 3,000 nits of brightness.

$799 Save $150   Get Deal The best budget fitness tracker: Fitbit Charge 6 Credit: Dylan Haas / Mashable

The Fitbit Charge 6 is... fine. We included this popular Fitbit in our guide to the best fitness trackers of 2025 for a reason. For the average, casual athlete, it does a fine job of tracking your steps, heart rate, and activity.

Once upon a time, Fitbit was synonymous with fitness trackers. But to be honest, the brand has been slacking. The most recent Fitbits aren't as comfortable as you'd expect, especially for long workouts, and they can't compete with Apple, Garmin, or Pixel watches in the features department. For instance, it's lacking features like an altimeter, but on the plus side, we are big fans of the Fitbit app. So much so that some of our reviewers buy a different smartwatch but still use the Fitbit app to track workouts.

So, our verdict on the Fitbit Charge 6 is simply this: if you must.

Let's be clear: The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a fantastic and smart wearable, especially if you use Gemini. It's a Mashable Choice product for a reason. It has a well-rounded feature set that offers everything you need in a smartwatch, fitness tracker, and sleep tracker. And we like the signature squircle design more than most people. It also benefits from Samsung's on-point design and technology.

While it was narrowly edged out by the Pixel Watch 4, we think you'll be happy with this watch, especially if you're already in the Samsung product ecosystem. It has a bright display, great software, and smart health features, including a new Sleep Coach. It also integrates Gemini in some clever ways. Our reviewer's only real complaint was the battery life, which is fine, but not great.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Cyber Monday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.

Samsung finally makes the Galaxy Z TriFold official, announces U.S. release window

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 02:00

Samsung is on a bit of a hot streak with foldables, so why not launch another one?

That seems to be the philosophy for the Korean tech giant, as Samsung just announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a massive-looking flagship foldable with not one, but two hinges. It's designed to fold inwardly, so as to protect the gigantic main display. Samsung says there will be a series of alerts and vibrations letting users know when they're not folding it correctly, too. That makes sense, given that this is going to be a completely new form factor for a large majority of users.

Even better, you won't have to wait long to try it out. Samsung says it will launch in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026. The company did not provide a price at this time.

Big phone. Credit: Samsung

Here are the basic specs for the Galaxy Z TriFold:

  • 10-inch main display with 2160x1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate

  • 6.5-inch cover display with 2520x1080 resolution and 120Z adaptive refresh rate

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset

  • 16GB RAM

  • 512GB/1TB storage

  • 5,600mAh battery

  • Three rear cameras: 200MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom

From the press release and the handful of photos Samsung provided, this looks fairly similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, except bigger and with an extra hinge. It still has a large outer display, so you can use it like a normal phone without having to unfold it, but when you do unfold it, you'll be treated to a massive inner display. One of the things that made the Z Fold 7 so great was how thin it was, coming in at just 4.2mm of thickness when unfolded. Astonishingly, Samsung says the Z TriFold is just 3.9mm at its thinnest point, so Samsung seems to be prioritizing that with this phone, as well.

It comes with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset and a very large 5,600mAh battery, too. Samsung says you can multitask with three apps open at the same time, with all of them functionally being sized the same as they would be on a regular 6.5-inch mobile display. All of Samsung's AI features are here, too, as is Gemini Live support.

There will surely be more information to come as we approach the eventual U.S. release date. This phone has been speculated about for months, with rumors pointing to a 2025 launch as recently as September. Those turned out to be true; the phone will launch in Korea in December, with the U.S. launch coming later. If you've been on the fence about foldables because their displays just haven't been big enough for you yet, this might be the one to consider.

Wait, is T-Mobiles free iPhone 17 Pro, iPad, and Apple Watch bundle as good as it sounds?

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 01:24

T-MOBILE IPHONE DEAL: New and existing customers can score a free iPhone 17 Pro, an iPad, and an Apple Watch SE 3 with the "Ultimate Apple Bundle," saving up to $2,000, in theory. We checked the fine print to see if this deal is as legit as it sounds.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple T-Mobile 'Ultimate Apple Bundle' Score a free iPhone 17 Pro, an A16 iPad, and an Apple Watch SE 3 (saving up to $2,000) when you trade in an eligible device and activate three service lines on a premium T-Mobile plan. Get Deal

T-Mobile is closing out Cyber Monday with a deal that looks frankly ridiculous: the chance to get the iPhone 17 Pro (starting at $1,099), an A16 iPad (starting at $499.99), and an Apple Watch SE 3 (starting at $299.99) for free. For new and existing customers, this "Ultimate Apple Bundle" is a quick and easy way to upgrade your entire personal tech lineup (even if you don't have the cash on hand).

So, what's the catch? After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch — or iPhone — right?

Per the fine print, you can get this deal by trading in a device and activating three required service lines on a premium T-Mobile plan. Let's break it down.

SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday 2025 live: Last-chance deals and updates from Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, and more How to get the Ultimate Apple Bundle at T-Mobile

Now, while this is a kick ass deal, the savings come with a major commitment. To qualify for the iPhone 17 Pro, you'll need to trade in an eligible device (even a damaged one is fine) and sign up for T-Mobile’s premium Experience Beyond phone plan (starting at $100+ per month with AutoPay). You'll also need to add two new service lines: one for the iPad A16 mobile internet line and one for the Apple Watch SE 3 wearable service. And, of course, there's a full sales tax on the pre-credit price of the devices due upfront, plus a $35 connection charge per device.

The total discount is delivered via bill credits stretched out over two to three years (24 months for the phone, 36 for the accessories), meaning you have to keep all those lines active and in good standing to receive the full savings. If you cancel your account early, the credits stop, and you'll be responsible for paying the full amount due.

The bottom line is this: This is an awesome deal for anyone who's already planning to trade in their phone or switch to T-Mobile (and wants the absolute latest Apple hardware without paying upfront). If you were only looking for a cheap phone deal, this commitment is probably overkill, but for the right customer, it's one of the best deals of 2025.

Its your last chance to grab these 3 Cyber Monday VR deals — save on Meta Quest, Xreal, and Galaxy XR

Tue, 12/02/2025 - 01:17

Virtual reality is a kind of tech that feels almost feels too futuristic, as if it should only be found in an expensive lab or a sci-fi movie. That said, if these Cyber Monday VR headset deals are anything to go by, VR tech is very much for the mainstream consumer these days.

In the final hours of Cyber Monday on Dec. 1, we've gathered three of the best VR/AR deals you can still shop on sale. You'll find deals on everything from helmet-style headsets with 8K video playback to more low-key AR glasses aimed at boosting productivity.

SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday 2025: Last-chance deals and updates from Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, and more

Whether you're interested in VR for work or for play, here are the best Cyber Monday VR deals to grab before the sales officially end later tonight.

Meta Quest 3s bundle

The Meta Quest 3s is one of the most affordable options for anyone who wants to get into virtual reality gaming. Mashable's reviewer wrote that she appreciated "its solid mixed-reality capabilities and access to Meta’s expansive content library," going on to say, "the budget-friendly price point makes it an attractive option, especially for newcomers or casual users looking to dip their toes into VR without splurging."

This bundle deal, which comes with two Meta Quest 3s systems, Batman: Arkham Shadow, and a three-month trial of Meta Horizon+ certainly emphasizes the budget-friendliness of this headset. It also makes for an excellent Christmas gift option. If you're only interested in one headset, you can also grab that along with the Batman game for just $249.

Check out Mashable's full review on the Meta Quest 3s.

$598 Save $100   Get Deal Xreal AR glasses

Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth still isn't sure whether these smart glasses are worth $599 — let alone their $769 full price — but he can't deny that these augmented reality glasses feel undeniably like they came from the future. He used the AR glasses to upgrade his work setup when it's limited on screen space, and appreciated that he still felt aware of the world, while getting the benefits of adding Slack messages to the side of his laptop display. While he ultimately prefers the Apple Vision Pro experience, he did say the Xreal glasses are a "much better entry point to AR for most people."

$769 Save $170   Get Deal Samsung Galaxy XR Explorer's Pack

The Samsung Galaxy XR is by far the most expensive option on this list, but as Mashable's Matt Binder points out, it's basically a budget option when compared to the Apple Vision Pro. That doesn't mean it's worse all-around: Binder wrote that the Galaxy XR has better displays and is lighter overall.

Mashable contributor Adam Doud wrote that this headset is one of the most comfortable he's tried, and though he doesn't quite see the real utility of the headset just yet, but he was impressed by the screen resolution and spatializing (essentially 3D-ifying) features found on the photos and YouTube app. This Explorer's Pack doesn't markdown the $1,799 headset itself, but does throw in a few subscriptions for a Cyber Monday promo, including: one year of Google AI Pro, one year of YouTube Premium, NBA League Pass, and one year of Project Pulsar from Adobe, all of which amount to a $1,140 value.

Please note that you need to add the bundle to your Amazon shopping cart to see the discounted price.

It's no secret that Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer some of the year's best discounts. But noticeably, the new Nintendo Switch 2 has been missing out on the holiday sale period. But that just changed as we entered the final hours of Cyber Monday.

As of Dec. 1, Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is on sale for $449, marked down from the list price of $499. That's a very rare 10% discount that saves you a cool $50. Since the console-only Nintendo Switch 2 sells for $449 and Mario Kart World for $79.99, this bundle basically means you get Mario Kart World for free and save some money in the process.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has taken us a journey this year. With delays, price changes, major stock issues, and finally record-breaking sales for Nintendo, it's a nice treat to see this Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World show up on on sale for Cyber Monday 2025. But keep in mind, Cyber Monday ends in just a few hours, so this deal could vanish at any moment.

I found 50+ Cyber Monday tech deals ending soon: Save $50 on the Nintendo Switch 2, or $1,000 on Samsung OLED TVs

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 23:49

As Mashable's tech editor, I get early access to a lot of really cool products. I also have a pretty deep knowledge of the coolest new gadgets of 2025, from the latest virtual reality tech to under-the-radar brands and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which Cyber Monday deals you can safely skip.

As of Monday, Dec. 1, retailers are finally wrapping up their Cyber Monday sales. Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon's Cyber Monday sales all end tonight. In this guide, you'll find all the best Cyber Monday tech deals I'd actually recommend to friends and family. Before recommending a Samsung OLED TV, a popular new PS5 game, or award-winning Bose earbuds, I'll first make sure that the price is actually a good deal. Online retailers are notorious for exaggerating their sales, but I've done the work for you to find the biggest genuine discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond.

Remember, this could be your last chance to save on the season's best new gadgets, toys, wearables, and tech gifts. I've personally tested many of the products in this guide, while others have been tested by other Mashable reporters. If you see a deal in this story, it's because I'd truly recommend that product — and at that price — to my loved ones.

A fancy new smartwatch

Whether you prefer Android or Apple, two of the best smartwatches released so far this year are on sale for Cyber Monday. In fact, the Galaxy Watch 8 is now cheaper than it was during Black Friday, and we rarely see further price drops after Black Friday ends. The Galaxy Watch 8 won a Mashable Choice award after its release, and we praised its bright display and improved UI. If you're a Gemini user, it also has direct integration with Google Gemini.

And for Apple fans, the new Apple Watch Series 11, which features a much-improved battery life, is also on sale at Amazon for its best-ever price.

Our favorite noise-cancelling wireless earbuds are on sale. You can now buy the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $216 for $249, a $50 discount, at both Amazon and Best Buy.

Seriously, we love these earbuds. The active noise cancellation works so well that I wear them while I work, even when I'm not listening to music. Plus, they really are the most comfortable wireless buds we've ever tried.

$298 Save $49 Mashable tested ✅ Get Deal My favorite Kindle

I literally collect rare books, so when I tell you I'm a book nerd, you can believe me. And this is the Kindle that stores my digital library — the Kindle Paperwhite. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's on sale for $124.99, but I actually recommend paying a little more for the version without lockscreen ads. That way, you'll see gorgeous black-and-white photos on the lockscreen instead of ads for romantasy books I'll never read.

Camp Snap is one of our favorite finds of the year. These trendy cameras feature old-school designs and keep you in the moment while you're making memories. You can buy these stylish point-and-shoot digital cameras starting at just $55 for Cyber Monday, and they make great gifts for teens.

Alexa informed me that New York City faces its first freeze warning of the season, and now I'm mad at her. However, I do have something to keep the chill away. I've been using and recommending these cute electric hand warmers for years, and they're one of my favorite undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're one of my go-to stocking stuffers, and they'll keep your hands toasty and warm all winter long. If you're looking for tech deals under $25, this is my personal recommendation.

Mashable has an ongoing series called "In My Bag," where we interview creators, vloggers, and social media stars about their favorite gadgets and gear.

Have you heard about the upcoming ban on DJI drones? If not, then we have very bad news: DJI drones are almost certainly set to be banned in the U.S. by year's end, which means this is your last chance to buy one. So long as you're already flying, the potential ban shouldn't affect you, a DJI representative recently told me. Unfortunately, you can only buy these drones from third-party sellers at retailers like Amazon, but we think the risk is worth the reward in this case.

$299 Save $60 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal A new Echo speaker

Amazon devices are up to 55% off for Cyber Monday, including the best Alexa smart speakers. The Echo Spot is a smart speaker that doubles as an alarm clock, and it's a favorite of ours. However, Amazon just refreshed its Echo line to make way for Alexa+, its new AI version of Alexa. I was at the launch event where Amazon debuted the Echo Dot Max, a smarter smart speaker with bigger sound and a fun Death Star-like design.

I've said it before: Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, The Frame, is the best TV in the world. This super-thin TV doubles as an art gallery for your living room, adding to your home's decor instead of distracting from it. The 2025 model of The Frame has a fancy new AI processor, as well as a magic-like matte, anti-glare display. While you can catch this TV on sale at any retailer you like, Amazon currently has the best price.

For Cyber Monday, this TV is now $100 cheaper than it was during Black Friday, a price drop we weren't expecting.

$1,197.99 Save $400 New price drop! Get Deal A new Apple laptop

We think the M4 MacBook Pro is the best MacBook for most people, and this is a fantastic price for a 2025 model Apple laptop. Powered by M4 silicon, it's also lightning fast. The M4 chip is faster than anything you'll find in the Windows world, which means this laptop is faster and more efficient than the competition. Its $749 price at Amazon is a record discount, and we're not expecting the price to drop any lower (though Apple could surprise us).

$999 Save $250 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal The best tech deal for parents (and cool uncles)

The Toniebox is a popular gadget for young kids. Parents love it because it's engaging but doesn't have a screen, and kids love it because it's interactive, talks to them, and tells cool stories. I got this for my niece last Christmas, and I'm officially the favorite uncle. Am I her only uncle? Doesn't matter.

If your favorite kiddos already have a Toniebox, you can get five Tonies for the price of four during Cyber Monday. My recommendation? The Miss Rachel and Llama Llama Tonies.

We recently named the Beats Pill the best portable Bluetooth speaker to buy on sale. And, what do you know, it's on sale. You can pick up this powerful water-resistant speaker for just $79 at Amazon. Released in 2024 as part of a collaboration with Kim Kardashian (don't let that stop you from scoring a great deal), it plays well with Android and iOS devices.

If you're an early adopter looking to try a futuristic new technology, then check out the Xreal One Pro AR glasses, which project a virtual screen into the air around you. That lets you take an invisible second monitor with you wherever you go. I've been testing these smart glasses, and they are very cool. They're also very expensive, though $170 less so for a little while longer.

Some of this year's best Cyber Monday tech deals are on DJI products, which are getting harder and harder to find. If you're a content creator or vlogger, then you've probably heard of DJI's famous pocket mics, currently 45% off at Amazon. These wireless mics replace the awkward wired lavaliers of the past, and they clip on to your shirt or collar magnetically. There's a reason you can spot these microphones all over TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. I've personally tested these microphones, and they've been a huge help to the Mashable video team at live events.

I think this sleek coffee maker is what you'd get if Apple designed a coffee maker. I've been using it for about a year, and I love it.

Fellow has a cult-following among coffee snobs, but you don't need to be an expert to use the Fellow Aiden 10-cup coffee maker, which is exactly why I like it. , and I love how easy it is to set schedules. Plus, it tells you exactly how much coffee to add. Simply set the number of cups you want and whether you're using light, medium, or dark roast, and it will tell you just how many grams to scoop into the pot. I've never seen this coffee maker go on sale before, and it's currently at its lowest-ever price at Amazon.

$399.95 Save $80 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal A viral 1TB flash drive

Usually, some of the best Cyber Monday tech deals include 50% discounts on portable hard drives, SD cards, and flash drives, but not this year. Personally, I blame the AI industry for hogging all the vital computer components this year. But there is one deal of note, and on a popular new product.

The holographic 1TB Extreme Fit USB-C Flash Drive from Sandisk is shockingly small, and it made major waves in the tech world when it debuted recently. While it doesn't have a huge discount, I'll take what I can get on memory products this year. Just look how small it is!

Our vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, has also been impressed by Eufy's innovation when it comes to cleaning features past the robot vacuum itself. The Eufy E28 is a powerful roller mop robot vacuum with 20,000 Pa suction power that comes with a portable carpet cleaner. Leah says it fully removed stains from a rug and a couch, making it one of the best vacuums for pet owners.

It's Samsung's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, and it's significantly more affordable, though still extremely pricey. If you buy the device during the holiday shopping season, Samsung will throw in $1,140 worth of freebies, including a year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass. You'll also get access to exclusive XR experiences and more premium apps. This offer ends Dec. 31.

Over the summer, it was almost impossible to find the new Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. While we haven't found any official discounts on the Switch 2 console yet, you can find some Switch 2 bundles in stock at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. We expect this handheld to top many Christmas gift wishlists this year, so grab these while you can.

Update: As of Dec. 1, Walmart was selling these bundles for $50 off, which is the first real discount we've seen on the Switch 2 all year long. You'll need to have a Walmart account to see the sale price, however.

They make rugged power stations that are easy to use, have a variety of ports, and connect easily to your devices (not to mention solar panels, if you have them). If you live in fear of the power going out — or just want to charge your phone during a camping trip or tailgate — these devices are a must-have.

Our resident robot vacuum tester has tested so many robot vacuums, and this year, none outperformed the Roborock Saros 10R, a robot vacuum and mop combo.

For bargain hunters, the best deals on Kindles are the basic Kindle and the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon's basic Kindle is a perfectly pocket-sized device that reached its lowest price ever of $79.99, while the Kindle Colorsoft got an astounding price cut down to $169.99, the first time the device has ever dipped under $200.

As much as we hype up Kindles, you can't forget there are other e-readers out there. The only brand that can truly compete is Kobo, which makes a delightful collection of color e-readers.

To be honest, the Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals on iPads have been pretty weak this year. However, the model I recommend for most people is on sale, and at a record price.

The newest and best iPad is the iPad Pro with M5 chip, but the best Cyber Monday iPad deal is on the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. I've tested both models, and the iPad Air is the right choice for 99% of shoppers. It's back to its lowest price ever of $449, making it an affordable yet powerful device. With the latest iPadOS, the iPad Air is closer to a laptop than ever, but still a fraction of the cost. This is another device I've personally tested and highly recommend, especially at this price.

AirPods Pro 2 are officially cheaper than they were on Black Friday — if you know where to look

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 23:36

Save 46%: The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are just $134.99 at Woot, saving you $114.01 off their $249 price tag. This beats their Black Friday pricing by $4.01, but you'll want to act quick — this deal is live only through Dec. 1.

Cyber Monday can be hit or miss when it comes to finding better deals. The best prices for the AirPods Pro 2 came on Black Friday, when Walmart had them on sale for $139.99. So, when Walmart raised prices over the weekend, we thought that was the end of it. But thankfully, Woot swept in with a last-minute Cyber Monday deal on Dec. 1.

Through the rest of the day, you can grab the Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $134.99 at Woot, dropping the price $4 below its Black Friday record price, and slashing a total of $114.01 off its $249 price tag. At the time of writing, the next best price on these earbuds can be found at Walmart for $199.

Though they don't have the same capabilities as the heart-rate monitoring AirPods Pro 3, they still sit $85 below the newer earbuds' sale price. In addition to having ANC that still holds up in 2025, they can also power the live translation feature that was introduced with the Pro 3 earbuds.

The AirPods Pro 2 also come with six hours of battery life per charge, have excellent and balanced sound, great adaptive audio and transparency modes, and three silicone ear tips for finding the right size. At $135, they're a steal, but you'll want to add them to your cart sooner rather than later — Woot only has this deal through Dec. 1, or until their stock of the earbuds sells out.

Now that Cyber Monday is here, you’re scouring for deals on the internet. Best Buy is running a deal on the Xbox Series X, where if you buy the console, you’ll also get a $100 gift card. This can be used on anything at Best Buy, such as buying a video game or two. It can also be used on non-gaming items, of course.

The Xbox Series X has a plethora of games to play, and its main selling point is Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service has hundreds of games to try out for a monthly price, so it’s well worth your time and money. Games like The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Call of Duty are all available through Xbox Game Pass to download through its Ultimate tier, and you don’t have to pay a dime upfront for them.

Not only that, but the Xbox Series X is also backwards compatible with older games. This means all of your Xbox One games and select Xbox 360 and original Xbox games can be played on it, giving it even more value.

So put that $100 gift card to good use when you buy the Xbox Series X for $649.99 at Best Buy. Be sure to check out our Best Buy Cyber Monday and gaming deals, too.

Hidden gems from Amazons Cyber Monday sale: Prime Video add-ons, Kindle Unlimited, and more

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 21:46

Alas, Amazon's Cyber Monday sale is here. Black Friday featured a boat load of record discounts and Cyber Monday is full of epic deals as well. Some are even better than Black Friday. All of the top brands — Apple, Samsung, and Amazon itself — and top categories — TVs, laptops, Kindles, headphones — are covered. If you haven't started shopping yet, now's as good of a time as any.

It's hard to miss some deals, as Amazon shoves them in your face right when you log on. But others aren't quite as visible, though they're still very much worth adding to your cart. We've rounded up a few of those deals below — hidden gems, if you will — so you don't miss out on the Cyber Monday savings.

Psst: While Amazon Prime memberships themselves aren't on sale, it's still a great time to sign up. If you haven't been a member in at least a month, you'll likely be eligible for a free trial. With a trial, you can secure Cyber Monday deals and get free, fast shipping — among other things.

Hidden gems from Amazon's Cyber Monday salePrime Video subscription add-ons

They might not jump out at you when you log into the Amazon app, but many of the best Cyber Monday streaming deals in 2025 are also available as Prime Video add-ons. You'll still get access to each streamer's entire library, but it will live inside of your Prime Video account. That means you won't have to open another app to access even more shows and movies. A few of our favorites are the Apple TV+ streaming deal, which gets you an entire year of streaming for just $5.99 per month, and the HBO Max Basic deal, which gets you a year of ad-supported streaming for only $2.99 per month. We've rounded up the best Prime Video subscription add-on deals below, but be sure to check out my full curated list of Cyber Monday streaming deals.

Amazon Music's family plan gives you unlimited listening across six different accounts. That means six family members can listen across multiple devices at the same time, with personalized recommendations on each. For Cyber Monday, you can sign up for three months for free — usually $19.99 per month. Don't need six accounts? You can also snag an individual Amazon Music Unlimited plan for free for three months.

The Kindle Unlimited Black Friday deal is still live for Cyber Monday and it's one of our favorites. Usually $11.99 per month, you can score three months for only 99 cents. That's $35.97 in savings. Kindle Unlimited unlocks instant access to millions of books across all genres, including soon-to-be major motion pictures Regretting You by Colleen Hoover and The Housemaid by Freida McFadden. It also includes thousands of audiobooks and magazine subscriptions for all types of readers. You don't even need a Kindle device to access Kindle Unlimited (although we suggest grabbing one while they're at record-low prices) — just download the Kindle app and read on any device.

Sonos makes some of the best speakers on the market, but they don't go on sale very often. The deals also aren't glaringly obvious when you browse Amazon's Cyber Monday collection. If you're in the market for a new home, outdoor, or Bluetooth speaker, don't sleep on the Sonos deals up to $160 off — our favorite smart home speaker, the Move 2, is down to just $399 for a limited time.

It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you're Cyber Monday shopping, but smart plugs could be a real asset this holiday season. Use them to keep your Christmas lights on a schedule or turn them into voice-controlled smart lights. Several options are on sale, but we like this GE Cync smart indoor plug on sale for $11.23 (reg. $14.99) or this two pack of Kasa smart plugs for only $14.16 (reg. $19.99)

Every year, Amazon runs a deal on its Audible Premium Plus subscription around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And every year, I re-sign up. This year's deal is for three months of Premium Plus for 99 cents per month, plus a $20 credit to use on Audible.com. Typically $14.95 per month, you'll save about $41.88 total and can cancel before the three months are up (or not — I'm not the boss of you). Premium Plus unlocks access to the Premium selection on Audible, which includes all of those best-sellers and BookTok gems. Each month, you'll get a credit to use on one of those premium titles. So if you sign up for the three-month promotion, you'll get to "buy" three titles with your credits. Plus, with that extra $20 credit, you can purchase as many other titles as you please.

So, technically this isn't specifically a Cyber Monday deal, but it's a hidden gem for sure. An Amazon Prime membership gives you all sorts of perks (like the famous
Grubhub Amazon Prime deal), but one of the lesser known ones is for Shutterfly. Prime members that link their account can get 45% off regular priced items at Shutterfly, plus get free shipping on orders over $35. The holiday season is the perfect time to finally take advantage of this hidden Prime benefit.

The best Cyber Monday deals on Ninja: Creami, Crispi, and Slushi all on sale

Just about every major retailer got in on the Ninja appliance deal action for 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 that's extending into Cyber Monday. Not only are big-name Ninja gadgets like the Ninja Slushi, Ninja Crispi, and Ninja Luxe Café on sale at record-low prices, but SharkNinja is throwing in free gifts with some 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.) All this being said, as of Cyber Monday, there are fewer gifts available than we saw during Black Friday and over the weekend. However, SharkNinja is offering an extra 10% off most of their sale section if you use the code CYBER. In short, they're still beating Amazon's prices.

Though there's no question that the actual SharkNinja website is the best place to buy Ninja products on sale for Cyber Monday, there are still an overwhelming number of deals to keep track of. We've pulled out the very best Ninja Cyber Monday deals as of Dec. 1 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 $143.99 at SharkNinja
$179.99 Save $36 Use code CYBER. 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. For Cyber Monday, Amazon upped the ante by taking an additional $5 off, for a total of 15% off, but it still doesn't match the value you can find on Shark's website — especially with the Cyber Monday code taking an additional $16 off the price.

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 $251.99 at SharkNinja
$349.99 Save $98 save $98 with code CYBER Get Deal Why we like it

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.

Thanks to SharkNinja's Cyber Monday deal, you'll save an additional $28 than you would buying the Creami at Amazon, where it's still on sale for $279.99.
