The best Black Friday streaming bundle just dropped: Get Disney+ and Hulu for only $4.99/month

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 20:15

SAVE $96: Through Dec. 1, new subscribers can get the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) for only $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month, this Black Friday offer saves you $96 total for the year.

Last Black Friday, Disney+ and Hulu delivered one of, if not the best streaming deals of the year. For just $2.99 per month, you could subscribe to both streamers for a whole year. It was a dream. This year, every single streaming service — including Disney+ and Hulu — has gotten more expensive. Thus, the Black Friday deal we loved last year has been revived to fit the times. And you can get early access as of Nov. 24, thanks to Good Morning America.

For Black Friday 2025, new subscribers can sign up for the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) for $4.99 per month for 12 months (up $2 from last year's deal). Earlier this year, the list price jumped from $10.99 to $12.99 per month, so you'll still save $8 per month or $96 total with this year's discount. It's still a great deal, all things considered. But obviously we were still hoping to see the $2.99 deal resurrected.

The early access offer is only valid for new and eligible returning Hulu and Disney+ subscribers (basically anyone who hasn't been a Hulu or Disney+ subscriber in the past month) through Dec. 1 (Cyber Monday). So if you want to get double the streaming for less than half the cost, jump on it ASAP. Just remember, once the year is up, you'll be charged full cost (currently $12.99/month) unless you cancel.

Hulu and Disney+ both have pretty expansive catalogs featuring award-winning original series and a boatload of movies fresh from the theater. That includes some of our favorites from the year, including Dying for Sex, Andor, Alien: Earth, The Life of Chuck, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and so much more. Psst: Taylor Swift's new docuseries will also be on Disney+ in December. Getting unlimited to access to both of these libraries for only $5 each month is absolutely worth it — even with some ads.

The Chilis Wicked margaritas are all over TikTok

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 20:14

Wicked: For Good has hit theaters — and it's perhaps the biggest movie moment of the year. But TikTok may have fallen in love with the musical's branded margaritas at Chili's as much as the movie itself.

If you've not seen the margaritas, they're kind of exactly what you'd expect from Wicked-branded margaritas from Chili's. (And that is said with deep respect and admiration.) One is an unnaturally neon green, the other pink — to match main characters Elphaba and Glinda, respectively — and you'll often see TikToks with the drinks served in pint glasses. You know, standard practice for margaritas. Some folks even chug down the margs simultaneously with two straws. (Don't do that, drink responsibly.)

But people are loving the margaritas, chatting about maybe having too many of them, and generally getting in the Wicked spirit with some wicked-looking spirits.

This is just another instance of Chili's somehow becoming the internet's favorite chain restaurant. It has undergone a complete revival as the internet has fallen in love with its Triple Dipper platter and iconic mozzarella sticks. And now the internet is back at Chili's — but this time for drinks.

Black Friday falls on Nov. 28 this year, but that doesn't mean you need to wait until after pumpkin pie to shop. Amazon's official Black Friday sale has been underway since Nov. 20, and we're seeing a bunch of epic deals. Some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego are on sale, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025.

A majority of Amazon Black Friday deals are record-low prices that match or beat the deals we saw during October Prime Day. See the evidence for yourself by plugging the URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon to finding the lowest prices at Amazon.

We'll be updating this page with new Amazon Black Friday deals as they drop, so keep checking back through the end of Cyber Weekend. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart to make sure you're getting the best deal.

If you need a desktop upgrade, this is hands-down the best value you can get right now. The new Mac mini packs the M4 chip into a tiny 5-inch box, and Apple finally upped the starting RAM to 16GB (instead of the stingy 8GB of the past). That means it can actually handle heavy multitasking right out of the box.

Honorable mention: Apple deals are going hard this Black Friday. The AirPods 4 with ANC just hit a record-low price of $99.99, but they're flying off the shelves. We've seen them sell out at Amazon already, so if they're sold out for you, you can grab them for $109.99 at Walmart and Target. These are an upgraded model of the entry-level AirPods that earned a coveted Mashable Choice Award thanks to their great active noise cancellation, snug but comfortable fit, and excellent value.

As the year comes to a close, another heartbreaking handful of Legos are set to retire. The Mos Espa Podrace dioarama from The Phantom Menace is one of them, so now is your last chance not only to find it in stock at all, but for nearly $20 off its usual price. This set is a best-seller for a reason: You get the full canyon in Tattooine scene, models of both Anakin's Podracer and Subulba's Podracer, and a special 25th anniversary plaque with a quote from Qui-Gon Jinn.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low.

Since we spend plenty of the day listening to music, podcasts, or streaming YouTube, there's good reason to invest in a super comfortable pair. Of course, they'll make for a special gift this holiday season, or consider it a gift of self-care to get yourself through holiday travel.

At just $399.99 after a 38% discount, this 75-inch Insignia QLED is the cheapest 75-inch QLED TV we've seen across all Black Friday TV deals so far — that's almost $200 cheaper than the non-QLED 75-inch version of Amazon's Omni TV.

(In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone is looking to buy this Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)

At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

Everything to know about Walmart Black Friday 2025: Early access, top deals, ad highlights

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:57

We are in the thick of Black Friday season, and as a consumer, it's totally overwhelming. You're getting inundated with so many deals from every single retailer, and it's hard to stay focused and find the best deals. Right now, we're focusing on one retailer's Black Friday sale: Walmart.

While Amazon dominates the online space, Walmart is where you go to shop low prices in person. If you prefer to avoid shipping costs and want to go hands-on with products before buying, Walmart will be open at the crack of dawn on Black Friday. For online shoppers, Walmart+ members will also get early access to Walmart's top deals and doorbusters.

Here's everything you need to know about the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, including what time stores will open on Black Friday, when the sale ends, and the best deals to shop early.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more When exactly is Walmart's Black Friday Sale?

Black Friday officially takes place on Nov. 28, but like most retailer's, Walmart's sale will start early. Walmart's Black Friday sale officially starts on Nov. 25 and runs through Nov. 30, which includes in-store and online savings. On Dec. 1, Walmart will run a Cyber Monday deal that takes place exclusively online. Leading up to the event, Walmart already hosted a Black Friday sneak peek event from Nov. 14-16, featuring early holiday deals.

Walmart Black Friday early access

For both Walmart's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, Walmart+ members get five hours of early access to the sale starting the day before the event at 7 p.m. ET.

If you're not already a Walmart+ member, the retailer has a promotion going on for new members. You can either take advantage of the usual 30-day free trial or score 50% off a 1-year membership and pay just $49. A Walmart+ membership comes with tons of free perks, including free delivery (including local grocery delivery), free access to either Paramount+ or Peacock, pharmacy delivery, and more.

Since Walmart's Black Friday sale takes place in-store in addition to online, its stores will be open, too. Walmart's store will open at 6 am local time on Nov. 28. However, there may be some exceptions to those hours so it's best to check Walmart's store locator for exact opening hours.

What Xs new country based in feature tells us about fake accounts

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:47

Your suspicions about the user you're arguing with on Elon Musk's X being a fake might just be true.

That's an experience that many users on X, formerly Twitter, are sharing since the platform's new "About this account" page went live with its "Account based in" feature. Basically, each X profile now discloses the country of origin a user is posting from. 

The feature, which X head of product Nikita Bier first teased last month, was originally rolled out on Friday night. Hours later, X removed the feature with Bier claiming there were some changes that needed to be made to address users that utilized VPNs to hide their location. However, by Saturday night, X had once again made the country of origin feature live for each account.

SEE ALSO: X's location revealing feature is live. Here's how to make it less precise.

There are ways to obscure your location in X's settings. Users can choose to only show a general region like North America or Europe instead of the specific nation like the United States or Germany. While this might protect users who are afraid of being doxxed or need to be more private living under an oppressive regime of a more authoritarian country, these settings don't really affect how fake accounts are revealed.

For example, X users discovered that the account @American, complete with a U.S. flag and bald eagle in their avatar, was not in fact a user from the United States but someone posting from "South Asia."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Another account called "Mariana Times" presented themselves as a U.S. citizen who spoke out about wanting to deport New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani because "we want a nation" and not "foreigner" who has not "assimilated into American culture." While their avatar had an Israeli flag with an AI-looking woman standing in front of it, X's new feature revealed that Mariana is actually posting from India.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Many social media users have long wondered if foreign actors have been behind prominent anonymous political accounts that use the platform to sow discord or even just make easy money through monetization schemes. It's unclear just how large the scale is, but X's new location feature certainly confirmed the suspicion that this is happening.

In addition, it shows that Elon Musk's goal to "defeat the bots" on X has largely been a failure. In fact, studies have shown that the bot and fake account problem on X has been even worse since Musk took over and made changes to the platform that made it easier for these type of fake accounts to prevail.

However, with X's latest change, spearheaded by the newly-hired Bier, at least users will now get a good idea if they are arguing with one of these fake accounts. And more transparency is always a good thing.

So, that "Make America Great Again" themed account that you've been duking it out with online for years? You may just now find out that the user claiming to be from the U.S. is actually from Russia, Nigeria, India, or elsewhere.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

I test headphones for a living — these are the 13 best Black Friday deals so far

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:40
Best Black Friday headphones and earbuds deals Best noise-cancelling headphones deal Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones $248 (save $151.99) Get Deal Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) $216 (save $83) Get Deal Best deal under $100 Sony WH-CH720N $88 (save $91.99) Get Deal

I pretty much spend every day I'm at work testing out headphones and earbuds, which means I've become well-versed in which headphones are actually worth your money.

This year has been an especially noteworthy year for headphones, with flagship releases from Sony, Bose, and Bowers & Wilkins. Flagship headphones are often the ones that get recommended on best of lists — ours included — but considering the new norm for a starting price is $449, they're not exactly the most affordable choice out there. Enter: Black Friday deals, when tech deals abound.

SEE ALSO: Mashable will send the best Black Friday deals directly to your phone — how it works

As of Nov. 24, I've spotted some especially noteworthy headphones and earbuds on sale — all of which Mashable has recommended in some capacity. In this case, a noteworthy deal is not simply something on sale. In fact, I've only selected deals that are actually great Black Friday deals (and not easy to grab on sale at other times of year).

For instance, I didn't add the second generation Bose QC Ultra earbuds to this list when they were on sale for $249 — they hit that price in September, and have returned to it since (before Black Friday deals kicked off). However, with the start of Black Friday sales, they've dipped down to $216.13, making them a deal worth mentioning as truly one of the best.

As we approach Black Friday proper on Nov. 28, I expect more exceptional deals to pop up. But for the time being, here are the 13 best headphones and earbuds deals live during the week of Black Friday.

One of the most comfortable pairs of noise-cancelling headphones Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones $298 at Amazon
$429 Save $131   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Get Deal at Walmart

The first time I put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones on, I knew they were the most comfortable headphones I'd ever worn (Mashable's Samantha Mangino had a similar experience). That belief became even firmer over years of use (and testing them against new competitors). Although the new second-generation headphones feel ever so slightly more comfortable, the originals still hold up.

SEE ALSO: We tested every pair of Bose headphones and earbuds. We found 5 we love, and 1 to buy on sale.

On sale for $298, they're a much better value than the $449 second-gen Ultras. Their main quirks include no passive playback and the occasional difficulty pairing to more than one device. However, when I compared them directly against their newer counterpart, I found the ANC and sound to be very similar, making it easy to recommend grabbing these over the second gens if they happen to go on sale.

Earbuds designed for quiet and long wear time Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) $216 at Amazon
$299 Save $83   Get Deal at Amazon

As I mentioned in the intro, despite being a relatively new release, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) have gone on sale a couple times, dropping down to $249 in select colorways. For Black Friday, not only are all the colorways on sale, but now select ones have dropped even lower, bringing these earbuds to a record-low price of $216.

SEE ALSO: Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds 2 are one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds available, but not a must-upgrade

I get that sale or not, over $200 is a hefty investment for a pair of earbuds. To that, I would say if you're someone looking for something you can wear all day, and prioritize top of the line noise cancellation above all else, these earbuds will be worth it for you. The fit keeps them secure without causing soreness, and helps seal you into a place of quiet that, along with the ANC, rivals many over-ear headphones I've tested.

Bose's latest flagship headphones Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones (2nd gen) $399 at Amazon
$449 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

While the QC Ultras are one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones out there, the second generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones take the top spot. They also come with some nice quality of life upgrades, including a 30 hour battery life, passive playback support, lossless audio support with the USB-C cable, and an upgrade to their design with new colorways and a shiny metal accent. They're maybe not upgrade-worthy if you already own the first gen headphones, but if it's your first foray into the QC Ultra line, grabbing these headphones for their price drop drop ever (and a pretty solid one at that), is a smart buy.

Sony headphones that still sound incredible Sony WH-1000XM5 $248 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $151.99   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon

The thing about Sony flagship headphones is that they're going to sound incredible. With the release of the XM6s, the WH-1000XM5 headphones are the former flagship headphones, but their sound profile remains one of the best in the game. I particularly like the "find your equalizer" feature that guides the less audiophile inclined among us through the process of finding their perfect custom EQ sound, which really helps these headphones shine. More generally speaking, when I tested the XM6s and XM5s head-to-head, I didn't find any huge discrepancies in performance. Plus, the XM6s got a $50 price bump to their list price, meaning that even if they were to get a $50 price drop over Black Friday (a markdown we've only spotted once before), they'll still be $150 more than the XM5s at this price point.

And Sony's latest flagship headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 $398 at Amazon
$459.99 Save $61.99   Get Deal at Amazon

While these are still $150 more than the XM5s, it is worth mentioning that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are down to their lowest price ever at $398. It's certainly possible that their price will drop even further next week, but I've also seen Sony stick to their initial discounts in past shopping holidays. If you want the best sound Sony (and most brands, tbh) has to offer, industry-leading ANC, and ear cups that fold in (a convenient feature for travelers), then the XM6's are an excellent choice. In his review, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "if you want best-in-class noise-cancelling headphones and pristine audio quality, the headphones deliver."

Mid-range headphones for under $100 Sony WH-CH720N $88 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $91.99   See It at Amazon

Noise-cancelling headphones with great sound quality from a reputable brand don't need to cost several hundred dollars, and the Sony WH-CH720N are proof of exactly that. Mashable named them Sony's best headphones under $100, with Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti singing their praises after two years of use. He deemed their sound quality "near flagship" level, and was impressed by the 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, which beats out the current flagship models of both Bose and Sony.

Though you can often find them on sale for $98 (a feat on its own, considering their $179.99 list price), it's slightly less common to find them on sale for $88, making this a great deal ahead of Black Friday. As an added bonus, the pink colorway is more unique than you might find from other budget headphones options under $100.

The best sounding open earbuds Bose Ultra Open earbuds $199 at Amazon

Open earbuds are great if you prefer staying somewhat aware of the world around you, but in my experience, that can come in the form of less-than-stellar sound quality. In the case of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, you get the best of both worlds. I suspect that's a large part of the reason behind their $299 price tag (which admittedly feels more appropriate for noise-cancelling earbuds). That's why I recommend them as an upgrade pick for open earbuds, and why I'm an especially big fan of this $100 off deal. In addition to their surprisingly rich sound, I especially like their small charging case, smartly placed on-ear controls, comfortable clip-on design, and many options for colorways.

Rounding out my picks is maybe the most underrated Bose product — the QuietComfort earbuds. Though their design isn't the most elegant, that's pretty much where their underwhelming features end. For starters, these earbuds have incredible battery life — in my weeks of testing them, I rarely had to charge them, and easily squeezed in a five-hour day of use, with ANC on and battery life to spare.

Sound and noise-cancellation-wise, they don't wow quite as much as the QC Ultra earbuds, but they're also significantly cheaper, even at full price. For their $129 sale price, they're less than half the price of the premium earbuds, and I promise, their performance doesn't reflect that. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say there's more of a $50 to $75 performance discrepancy between the two earbuds, which is why we've named these the best mid-budget earbuds currently on the market. Though we've seen them drop to $129 before, it is their lowest price ever, making this a great grab ahead of Black Friday.

Don't sleep on over-ear noise-cancelling headphones under $80, especially if they're the JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones. Impressively, these headphones are down to a whopping $39.99 if you opt for the mauve or sage colorways The low price point doesn't indicate a huge lack of quality, though. These headphones are a great pick for students, thanks to the well-padded design that makes them great for all-day wear (Mashable's Haley Henschel says she wears them comfortably for hours at a time), solid sound quality, and excellent battery life. The ANC isn't anything to scoff at, either.

The best earbuds for working out Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 $199.95 at Walmart

When I first tried out the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, I wasn't sure I'd like them all that much, as I had trouble finding how to properly put them on with the ear hook (my colleague Sam Mangino had a similar experience). However, there's a reason they say first impressions aren't everything — after we both found the right ear tip size and got through this small learning curve, we fell in love with these earbuds. So Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti, who gave them a Mashable Choice Award in his review.

This consensus made these an easy pick for the best earbuds for working out: though their ANC isn't the best, it's present, the ear hook keeps the buds in place without being uncomfortable, the sound is rich, the on-ear controls reliable and perfect for using mid-workout, and the built-in heart rate monitor is a convenient feature, especially if you don't already own a fitness tracker. Though they've hit this sale price before, they don't go on sale often, so I recommend grabbing them while you can.

A (better) AirPods Max alternative

Mashable loved the Beats Studio Pro when they first dropped in 2023, and after testing them again in 2025 against the rest of the Beats lineup, we found that they held up. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti compared them to another Apple over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, saying the Beats Studio Pro have a lot of overlap in features with AirPods, making the Beats a much better bang for your buck. The Studio Pro have better battery life (24 hours compared to the AirPods' 20), and according to Bracetti, better sound quality and similar ANC. The AirPods Max are currently on sale for $429.99, meaning you could buy two pairs of these Beats and still have $30 left over.

This deal in particular applies to the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian model, which at the time of writing are $20 cheaper than the regular Studio Pros' sale price (which just feature different colorway options).

Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian $149.95 at Amazon

Many popular flagship headphones have roughly 30 hours of battery life, which makes the whopping 60 hours of battery life found on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 all the more impressive. (And yes, that's with ANC on). This feature certainly made them a standout to us, and earned them the spot of Mashable's favorite headphones with long battery life, but that wasn't the only place they wowed.

When I tested these headphones out, trying to wear down that mammoth battery life felt like marginally less of a chore because of their excellent sound quality. The ANC stood out less than competitors, and the touch controls were on the sensitive side, but the companion app added enough customizability that it was never a real problem. I also appreciate that even with both pairs on sale, these headphones are cheaper than the Dyson OnTrac headphones, their only real competition for battery life. (And in my opinion, the Sennheisers have a much more elegant design). At $199.95, these headphones are just a couple dollars away from their lowest price ever, and in a price range I've typically only seen around the holiday season.

The Raycon Everyday Earbuds may have made a name for themselves through many a YouTube sponsorship, but after testing them out for myself, I can personally verify that these are really solid budget earbuds. These are the perfect option for anyone who wants the basics done well, without the hassle of any setup. They come sans companion app (and a button for Bluetooth), but they pair easily as soon as they're powered on, and be controlled entirely by the tactile on-ear controls.

Both their sound quality and ANC are solid, they come with eight hours of charge with ANC on (the same as the AirPods Pro 3), and six gel tips for finding the perfect fit. If you're looking for budget headphones with a few more extras, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are also on sale — although they're a great value, they do drop down to this price point year-round, making them a less impressive Black Friday deal.

7 monitor specs that are officially too old in 2025

How-To Geek - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:30

We don't often think of our monitors as something that holds the rest of our computer back, but your monitor is the component you use as a window into your computer. It's one of the peripherals you spend the most time using, by far. So when certain specs and missing features start limiting what your PC can offer you, whether for work or play, then it's probably time to start looking for a new screen as your most important upgrade.

Google Gemini 3 vs ChatGPT: How they compare

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:29

In the battle to improve the capabilities of artificial intelligence, Google and OpenAI have both released new versions of their flagship chatbots: Gemini 3 and GPT-5.1. Google calls Gemini 3 its "most intelligent model yet," while OpenAI pitches GPT-5.1 as "smarter" and "more conversational."

When you compare the two, it really comes down to what you want from your environment-killing chatbot. On the AI side, both Gemini 3 and GPT-5.1 feel like real sequels instead of point upgrades. Google says its Gemini 3 model builds upon the agent-y, multimodal ideas from Gemini 2 and 2.5, fusing them into a single model that is better at reasoning, handling long-context multimodal work, and planning ahead. It also now powers features like Google's new Antigravity developer platform and a Deep Think mode for genuinely challenging problems.

SEE ALSO: White House pulls back on AI laws executive order

GPT-5.1, meanwhile, reportedly keeps the raw intelligence of GPT-5 but makes it way more direct and enjoyable to talk to. Instant and Thinking both adjust how much they "think" based on the question; they follow instructions more consistently, and they let you dial in the exact tone and personality you want across every chat.

So, to be as useful as possible, here's a short breakdown of the key differences between the two models.

Gemini 3 versus GPT-5.1: Price

When it comes to cost, the two models occupy different price points. GPT‑5.1 from OpenAI has API pricing at about $1.25/ 1 M input tokens and $10.00/ 1 M output tokens. Meanwhile, the Gemini 3 Pro from Google lists token-based tiers at roughly $2.00 input / $12.00 output per million tokens for contexts of up to approximately 200,000 tokens, and about $ 4.00 and $18.00 for much larger contexts beyond that.

On the consumer subscription side, Gemini 3 offers a Pro tier at around $19.99 / month and an Ultra/Enterprise tier with custom pricing (reported to be up to ~$250/month for full features), while GPT-5.1-related consumer plans fall in the approximately $20/month and up range, depending on workflow needs.

Gemini 3 versus GPT-5.1: Model rankings

According to the latest LMArena rankings, Gemini 3 is sitting at the very top of the board with a score of 1324, making it the current fan favorite across thousands of votes. It’s not just edging out the competition, either. The next closest model is Gemini 2.5 Pro at 1249, which means Gemini 3 is leading by a meaningful margin.

GPT-5.1, listed on the board as GPT-5-chat, comes in further down with a score of 1222, placing it solidly in the upper tier but clearly behind Gemini 3’s surge. What’s interesting is the company GPT-5.1 has in those rankings: it’s surrounded by previous GPT generations and models, such as o3 and Claude Opus, all clustered tightly in the low 1200s.

Gemini 3, meanwhile, is the only model that breaks out of that pack entirely. The vibe from LMArena voters is pretty unmistakable. Gemini 3 is the model to beat right now, while GPT-5.1 is respected and well-liked but not commanding the same kind of top-of-the-charts energy.

Gemini 3 versus GPT-5.1: Key features

When it comes to multi-modal and long-context capabilities, Gemini 3 clearly outperforms. According to Google, it supports massive contexts (hundreds of thousands of tokens), handles images, text, and code with seamless transitions, and introduces a Deep Think mode for higher-order reasoning and planning across domains.

Meanwhile, GPT‑5.1 focuses more on conversational quality and reliability. The chatbot maintains strong performance in pure text generation and instruction following, with tone adjustments and personality fine-tuning built in. However, tests conducted by Tom's Guide indicate that it doesn’t yet match Gemini 3’s breadth in modality or long-form reasoning.

In terms of accessibility and feature set for typical users, GPT-5.1 offers familiar workflows, including chat-based input, strong coherence over shorter contexts, and a refined interface for controlling tone, style, and persona. OpenAI says this makes it great for writing, Q&A, and interactive assistance.

On the other hand, Gemini 3 is built to scale for grander tasks — including multimodal inputs, more complex planning, and longer spans of context — which gives it the edge when tackling multi-step workflows, combining visuals and text, or generating highly technical outputs.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, filed a lawsuit in April against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

These 6 Nano Banana Pro prompts are wild with the Gemini 3 upgrade

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:02

Google’s Nano Banana has been a hit with AI image generation fans since its release in early August. Even the free version comes with tons of ways to create images, and it’s also pretty easy to use. Google is keeping the hype train rolling with its release of Nano Banana Pro, which is built on Gemini 3. 

The purpose of Nano Banana Pro is the Pro part. Google says that Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro are capable of making or editing images with “studio-quality levels of precision and control.” In layman's terms, it’s basically going to do what Nano Banana already does, but better since it’s powered by Gemini 3 instead of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model like the regular Nano Banana. 

In theory, that should result in more realistic images with better, more accurate reasoning. Google has also wasted no time getting Nano Banana Pro integrated into other services, like Adobe’s Firefly, which gives users more avenues to try out the latest update. 

If you’re curious what it is capable of, here are some fun prompts you can try that will make full use of Nano Banana Pro. 

Credit: Google Infographics

Both Google and Adobe’s blog posts for Nano Banana Pro leaned heavily on the fact that the new AI can make infographics with cleaner text. It’s also one of the easiest ones to make. You pop an image into Nano Banana Pro and ask it to make one for you. In the example above, the input image was a basic photo of the String of Turtles houseplant. For the prompt, Google says it used “create an infographic about this plant focusing on interesting information.”

Nano Banana Pro then correctly identifies the plant as a String of Turtles house plant, and creates an infographic about its growth habits, care, origin, and leaf pattern. This is actually really cool because if Nano Banana Pro can identify the image on its own, you don’t need to give it complicated instructions. It’ll go out and find the thing and make an infographic for it. 

This is useful for a variety of purposes, but the one that most quickly came to mind was for a school project. Students using it for this purpose should double check to make sure the information is accurate, of course, but the image Nano Banana Pro spit out is better than anything I could’ve drawn in middle school.

Credit: Google Storyboards

To be honest, I would have never thought of storyboards on my own, but it’s a really neat concept. Like the infographics, you feed Nano Banana Pro an image and ask it to create a storyboard. Per Google, the prompt for the above image was “create a storyboard for this scene.” The AI’s image included an establishing shot, a medium shot, a close-up, and a POV shot.

Storyboarding is a job, and some people spend their whole careers doing it. The thing is, for a very small film crew, a beginner, or, again, a college student, hiring a storyboarder may not be in the cards, and doing it manually is kind of a pain. So, for low-end professional use cases, having AI help you with a storyboard isn’t a bad idea. You can also change up the prompt to have it make storyboards with different shots or ideas.

Credit: Google Combining loads of things into a single image

A fun thing you can already do with image generators is combine multiple objects into a single image. I’ve done it, and it’s pretty easy to do, but there are some limitations. I once inserted myself into a picture with my dog and had to try a few times to get things right. One of the things Google says that Nano Banana Pro does well is adding a bunch of elements into a single image while maintaining consistency. 

In the above example, Google fed Nano Banana Pro 14 unique fluffy characters and asked Nano Banana to sit them all on a couch, facing a TV. Nano Banana Pro not only did that, but made the fuzzy characters consistent as it stuffed them all into the same scene. The prompt for this is kind of ridiculous, so we’ll post it in its entirety below before moving on. 

“A medium shot of the 14 fluffy characters sitting squeezed together side-by-side on a worn beige fabric sofa and on the floor. They are all facing forwards, watching a vintage, wooden-boxed television set placed on a low wooden table in front of the sofa. The room is dimly lit, with warm light from a window on the left and a glow from the TV illuminating the creatures’ faces and fluffy textures. The background is a cozy, slightly cluttered living room with a braided rug, a bookshelf with old books, and rustic kitchen elements in the background. The overall atmosphere is warm, cozy, and amused.”

Credit: Google Photorealistic scenes

I’ve always admired AI’s ability to make realistic stuff, some of which is so good that it’s nearly indistinguishable from real life. It turns out that Nano Banana Pro is one of the best AI image generators for this. Google has a guide for making realistic images with some prompt ideas that you can try. They can get around medium length, so it’s a good intermediate prompt to try yourself. 

Per Google, the key here is detail. When generating a prompt, you want to mention everything you can, like lighting, camera angle, and even camera lens type if you’re knowledgeable about that kind of thing. Describing the subject as best as you can also increase the odds of getting something that you want. Don’t forget the background as well. As you can see with the example above, the background really helps bring the whole thing together. 

Credit: Google Translate words on an image to another language

Considering that half the words I’ve ever tried to have AI include in an image have been total gibberish, the idea that Nano Banana Pro can take words off of an input image, translate them, and put them back to be rather impressive. This can be useful for a variety of things, but I imagine businesses would get the best use by having their products translated into another language for a social media post aimed at a different region. 

The prompt for this one is pretty simple too. Per Google, the above image was put in and for the prompt, it’s simple, “translate all the English text on the three yellow and blue cans into Korean, while keeping everything else the same.” You can swap out that noun for basically any other noun and it looks like it’ll work the same way. Very cool. 

Credit: Google Change any doodle into a product

Many of us have been in a position where we draw or create something cool and then wondered what it’d be like if it were on a t-shirt or a coffee mug. Nano Banana Pro lets you do this pretty easily. The input image is your cool little design. You can get by just having Nano Banana Pro slap it onto a t-shirt, and call it a day. 

However, you can also add in tons of details to get a very specific product. In the above example, Google’s prompt (which is very long) includes telling the AI to use 1960s and 1970s aesthetics with a color palette that “reinforces the vintage feel” and has an effect of “whimsical nostalgia and clever graphic design.” Like many of the others, the images will get better the more detail you add, so the world is your oyster if you want to see your design on a piece of clothing. 

AI for days

On top of the above prompts, all of the usual Nano Banana stuff works. Viral prompts like turning yourself into a claymation character a la Robot Chicken or combining two elements in two photographs together still work as intended. Really, what you’re getting with Nano Banana Pro is refinement, with more power and overhead to fix many common problems (like words) that users may have struggled with while using regular Nano Banana. In short, it’s not a new product, just a better product.

Fara-7B: An Efficient Agentic Model for Computer Use

Microsoft Research - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 19:00
Pushing the frontiers of computer-use agents with an open-weight, ultra-compact model, optimized for real-world web tasks

In 2024, Microsoft introduced small language models (SLMs) to customers, starting with the release of Phi (opens in new tab) models on Microsoft Foundry (opens in new tab), as well as deploying Phi Silica (opens in new tab) on Copilot+ PCs powered by Windows 11. Today, we are pleased to announce Fara-7B, our first agentic SLM designed specifically for computer use.

Unlike traditional chat models that generate text-based responses, Computer Use Agent (CUA) models like Fara-7B leverage computer interfaces, such as a mouse and keyboard, to complete tasks on behalf of users. With only 7 billion parameters, Fara-7B achieves state-of-the-art performance within its size class and is competitive with larger, more resource-intensive agentic systems that depend on prompting multiple large models. Fara-7B’s small size now makes it possible to run CUA models directly on devices. This results in reduced latency and improved privacy, as user data remains local.

Fara-7B is an experimental release, designed to invite hands-on exploration and feedback from the community. Users can build and test agentic experiences beyond pure research—automating everyday web tasks like filling out forms, searching for information, booking travel, or managing accounts. We recommend running Fara-7B in a sandboxed environment, monitoring its execution, and avoiding sensitive data or high-risk domains. Responsible use is essential as the model continues to evolve.

Fara-7B operates by visually perceiving a webpage and takes actions like scrolling, typing, and clicking on directly predicted coordinates. It does not rely on separate models to parse the screen, nor on any additional information like accessibility trees, and thus uses the same modalities as humans to interact with the computer. To train Fara-7B, we developed a novel synthetic data generation pipeline for multi-step web tasks, building on our prior work (AgentInstruct). This data generation pipeline draws from real web pages and tasks sourced from human users.

Video 1: A demo of a shopping scenario with Fara-7B through Magentic-UI. Fara-7B is asked to purchase an X-Box Spongebob controller. Fara-7B goes on to complete this task, but while doing so, also stops at every Critical Point to get input and approval from the user before proceeding. Video 2: A demo of Fara-7B finding relevant information online and summarizing it through Magentic-UI. We ask Fara-7B to find and summarize the latest three issues on Github Microsoft/Magentic-UI. Video 3: A demo of how Fara-7B can use different tools to find relevant information and analyze it through Magentic-UI. We ask Fara-7B to find driving time between two places, and suggest a cheese place near the location. Fara-7B uses Bing Maps to find Driving time, and Bing search to find relevant information.

Fara-7B exhibits strong performance compared to existing models across a diverse set of benchmarks. This includes both existing benchmarks as well as new evaluations we are releasing which cover useful task segments that are underrepresented in common benchmarks, such as finding job postings and comparing prices across retailers. While Fara-7B demonstrates strong benchmark results, even against much larger models, it shares many of their limitations, including challenges with accuracy on more complex tasks, mistakes in following instructions, and susceptibility to hallucinations. These are active areas of research, and we’re committed to ongoing improvements as we learn from real-world use.

Fara-7B is now available on Microsoft Foundry (opens in new tab) and Hugging Face (opens in new tab) under an MIT license and is integrated with Magentic-UI, a research prototype from Microsoft Research AI Frontiers (opens in new tab). We are also sharing a quantized and silicon-optimized version of Fara-7B, which will be available to install and run on Copilot+ PCs powered by Windows 11, for turnkey experimentation. The community can simply download the pre-optimized model and run it in their environment.

By making Fara-7B open-weight, we aim to lower the barrier to experimenting with and improving CUA technology for automating routine web tasks, such as searching for information, shopping, and booking reservations.

Figure 1: Comparing WebVoyager accuracy and cost of Fara-7B to other computer use agents (CUAs) or agents that prompt LLMs with accessibility trees (SoM Agent w/ Ax Tree). Cost is computed by multiplying the average number of input and output tokens each model consumes by price per token. Both Fara-7B and UI-TARS-1.5-7B are based on Qwen-2.5-VL-7B, for which the lowest inference price from https://openrouter.ai/  is \(0.2/\)0.2 per 1M input/output tokens. Even though both models are priced equally, Fara-7B is more efficient, completing tasks with only ~16 steps on average compared to ~41 for UI-TARS-1.5-7B. OpenAI computer-use-preview accessed November 2025 via the Responses API. Developing Fara-7B CUA multi-agent synthetic data generation

A key bottleneck for building CUA models is a lack of large-scale, high-quality computer interaction data. Collecting such data with human annotators is prohibitively expensive as a single CUA task can involve dozens of steps, each of which needs to be annotated. Our data generation pipeline (Figure 2) avoids manual annotation and instead relies on scalable synthetic data sourced from publicly available websites and custom task prompts. We build this pipeline on top of the Magentic-One framework, and it involves three main stages: 

Figure 2: Data Generation workflow from proposing tasks from various seeds like URLs to solving those tasks with the Magentic-One multi-agent framework to generate demonstrations for training, and finally verifiying/filtering completed trajectories

Task Proposal. We generate a broad set of synthetic tasks that mirror common user activities on the web. To ensure coverage and diversity, tasks are “seeded” by a web index of public URLs classified into various categories e.g., shopping, travel, restaurants, etc. This enables task generation targeting a particular skill, like “book 2 tickets to see the Downton Abbey Grand Finale at AMC Union Square, NYC.” from a URL like this (opens in new tab) classified as “movies”.  As another strategy, we devised a way to generate tasks from randomly sampled URLs. Each task starts with a general prompt and is iteratively refined as an LLM agent explores the website and gathers more information about it. We are releasing a held-out subset of these tasks as a benchmark (“WebTailBench”), described in the Evaluation section below. 

Task Solving. Once synthetic tasks are generated, a multi-agent system built on Magentic-One attempts to complete them to generate demonstrations for supervised finetuning. The multi-agent system uses an Orchestrator agent to create a plan and direct a WebSurfer agent to take browser actions and reports results. The Orchestrator monitors progress, updating plans as needed, and can end tasks or engage a UserSimulator agent if user input is required, allowing for multi-turn completion. Each task and corresponding sequence of observations, actions, and agent thoughts forms a “trajectory”.

Trajectory Verification. Before using any tasks for training, three verifier agents evaluate if a task was “successful”: The Alignment Verifier checks if the trajectory of actions match the task’s intent; the Rubric Verifier defines completion criteria and scores the trajectory against them; and the Multimodal Verifier reviews screenshots and responses to confirm visual evidence supports successful completion. Trajectories failing these standards are removed.

We ultimately train this version of Fara-7B on a dataset of 145,000 trajectories consisting of 1 million steps covering diverse websites, task types, and difficulty levels. Additionally, we include training data for several auxiliary tasks, including grounding for accurate UI element localization, captioning, and visual question answering.

Training Fara-7B

Using one compute use model is easier than a multi-agent system, particularly when it comes to deployment. Therefore, we distill the complexities of our multi-agent solving system into a single model that can execute tasks. Fara-7B is a proof-of-concept that small models can effectively learn from complex, multi-agent systems with lots of bells and whistles.

As shown in Figure 3, Fara-7B is trained to execute user tasks by perceiving only browser window screenshots (without relying on accessibility trees), and predicting single-step actions. For each step, the context used to make its prediction contains all user messages, the complete action history, and the latest three screenshots.

In its prediction, Fara-7B outputs a reasoning message (“thinking” about the next action) followed by a tool call. The available tools include standard Playwright (opens in new tab) mouse and keyboard actions, such as click(x,y) and type(), and browser-specific macro-actions like web_search() and visit_url().

Fara-7B uses Qwen2.5-VL-7B (opens in new tab) as its base model due to its strong performance on grounding tasks and its ability to support long contexts (up to 128k tokens). We linearize the solving pipeline’s trajectories into a sequence of “observe-think-act” steps that are suitable for training with supervised finetuning loss. We did not use reinforcement learning to achieve the results we report below.

Figure 3: Operation of Fara-7B as a standalone, native computer use agent running on-device. Because Fara-7B is small, and none of its context needs to leave your personal device, it paves the way for personal and private agentic computing Evaluations

We evaluate Fara-7B and comparable baselines on canonical public benchmarks including WebVoyager (opens in new tab), Online-Mind2Web (opens in new tab), and Deepshop (opens in new tab), as well as a new benchmark we developed named WebTailBench, specifically focusing on 11 real-world task types underrepresented or missing in existing benchmarks like booking movie/event tickets, restaurant reservations, comparing prices across retailers, applying for jobs, finding real estate, and more complex multi-step tasks.

Evaluation of web agents can be tricky because the web is constantly changing, and many websites even block detected bots, which is why we developed a test harness that relies on BrowserBase (opens in new tab) to standardize how browser sessions are managed. In Table 1 below, we report a notion of task success rate (%) defined by each benchmark’s official LLM-as-judge evaluator; WebTailBench success is computed using the same Task Verification pipeline that filtered our training data. We find that Fara-7B is state-of-the-art, even outperforming native computer use agents like UI-TARS-1.5-7B, or much larger models like GPT-4o prompted to act like a computer use agent with Set-Of-Marks (opens in new tab) (SoM Agent). 

WebVoyagerOnline-Mind2WebDeepShopWebTailBench  SoM Agents SoM Agent (GPT-4o) 65.1 34.6 16.0 30.0 GLM-4.1V-9B-Thinking 66.8  33.9 32.0 22.4 Computer Use Models OpenAI computer-use-preview  70.9 42.9 24.7 25.7 UI-TARS-1.5-7B 66.4  31.3 11.6 19.5 Fara-7B 73.5 34.1 26.2 38.4 Table 1: Performance comparison across four web benchmarks: WebVoyager, Online-Mind2Web, DeepShop, and our newly introduced WebTailBench. Results are reported as Task Succes Rate / Accuracy (%) and are averaged over 3 runs. OpenAI computer-use-preview accessed November 2025 via the Responses API.

In Figure 1, we expand on the Webvoyager results by giving each model up to three chances to complete a task, and report “pass@K”. We also consider on the x-axis the cost of running each model if one were to pay market rates for input/output tokens consumed. Fara-7B breaks ground on a new pareto frontier, showing that on-device computer use agents are approaching the capabilities of frontier models.

We partnered with a trusted external group, Browserbase, to independently evaluate Fara-7B using human annotators. The model achieved 62% on WebVoyager (see detailed reports in Browserbase blog here (opens in new tab)). These results were generated in the same environment with identical settings and human verification of each task, making them directly comparable. Note that Browserbase’s standard WebVoyager scores do not use retries when environment errors occur; the results referenced here include retries and should not be compared directly to the non-retry scores. Going forward, we are collaborating with Browserbase to host WebTailBench human evaluations to help the community build reliable and reproducible assessments for computer use agents. 

Safety

Agents capable of operating computers present challenges distinct from chat-only models, including new outlets of user misuse, model misbehavior, and unintended consequences of actions, and external risks like prompt injections or online scams. CUAs take action with real-world consequences, so ensuring robust safety measures is essential to their responsible deployment. Transparency and user control sit at the core of Fara-7B’s design. Although we have incorporated several safety measures, Fara-7B remains a research preview, and we continue to advance our approach to safety for computer use agents, an active area of work across the entire AI community. 

Fara-7B processes browser screenshots, user task instructions, and a history of actions taken during each session and collects only what is necessary to complete the user’s requested task. No additional site data—such as accessibility trees or external scaffolding—is accessed; Fara-7B interacts with the computer in the same way a human would, relying solely on what is visible on the screen.

All actions taken by the agent are logged and auditable, allowing users to review and monitor every step.  For added safety, Fara‑7B is intended to run in sandboxed environments, giving users full oversight and the ability to intervene or halt actions at any time. These safeguards ensure that privacy, transparency, and user control remain at the core of every interaction.

To address misuse, we trained Fara-7B on a mixture of public safety data and internally generated tasks that it ought to refuse based on Microsoft’s Responsible AI Policy. We evaluated Fara-7B’s ability to refuse harmful tasks on WebTailBench-Refusals which consists of 111 red-teaming tasks showing a high refusal rate of 82%. The model also underwent Microsoft’s rigorous red teaming process, where we focused on the model rejecting harmful tasks and risky tasks, such as harmful content, jailbreaking attempts, ungrounded responses, and prompt injections. For further details, check out our technical report (opens in new tab).

To mitigate the risk of Fara-7B taking unintended actions, all of Fara-7B’s training data enforces both recognizing and stopping at “Critical Points” when executing a task. A Critical Point (see Operator System Card (opens in new tab)) is any situation that requires the user’s personal data or consent before engaging in a transaction or irreversible action like sending an email. Upon reaching a Critical Point, Fara-7B should respond by informing the user it cannot proceed without their consent.

For guidance on how to use our model safely, and the security considerations to be mindful of when using our model, please refer to our Model card (opens in new tab).

How to use

Fara-7B is available on  (opens in new tab)Microsoft Foundry  (opens in new tab)and  (opens in new tab)Hugging Face (opens in new tab). We are also releasing the implementation of Fara-7B in Magentic-UI, so that users can try it in a contained environment through the inference code provided. Additionally, users can download the model for Copilot+ PCs powered by Windows 11 from the AI Toolkit in VSCode and run it all on-device, taking advantage of NPU hardware acceleration.  

Looking forward

Our current release is an experimental CUA model that achieves state-of-the-art results for its size, purely using supervised fine-tuning. We believe even stronger CUA models capable of running on-device are possible through improved multimodal base models and through Reinforcement Learning on live and sandboxed environments. These early days are about learning from the community and driving real-world experimentation to shape what comes next. If you’d like to join us and help shape the future of SLMs, please apply for open roles.

The best Black Friday Kindle deals are finally here: Record-low prices on almost everything

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 18:59

When the big shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday come around, our sights are set on our favorite tech. It's often the only time when they're guaranteed to get a discount. My favorite gadgets? Kindles. It's part of my job to test e-readers, but outside of work hours, you'll still find me and my Kindle attached at the hip.

But the thing with Kindles is that they rarely go on sale. Sure, there's the occasional random discount throughout the year, but the best guaranteed price is almost always going to be during Prime Day or Black Friday. So as we look to Black Friday, which falls on Friday, Nov. 28, we're hunting the best Kindle deals.

Amazon officially kicked off its Black Friday sales, and the e-reader deals rock. All Kindle models are not just on sale, but down to their lowest prices ever. The Kindle Colorsoft is now down to $169.99, while the basic Kindle reached a new low of $79.99. So if you've been waiting to buy a Kindle, now's the time. Here are the best Kindle deals — on devices and accessories — to shop during Amazon's Black Friday sale.

I didn't know what to expect from Amazon's Black Friday Kindle Deals, but I'm blown away. Every device has dropped to its lowest price ever, and there are some major standouts. The Kindle e-reader with the best discount is the Kindle Colorsoft. It's down to $169.99, saving an astounding $80 off its $249.99 price tag. While I wouldn't recommend buying the device at full price, I think it's an exceptional deal ahead of Black Friday.

The Colorsoft has all the perks of a Paperwhite; it's waterproof, has adjustable warmth and brightness, and has an extremely long battery life of eight weeks. But the bonus? It has full color displays so you can enjoy graphic novels and book covers in full detail.

However, if you're not into the Colorsoft, there are plenty of other stellar deals to shop, including the basic Kindle down to its lowest price ever.

Yeah, we're mostly talking about Kindle deals here, but what if you want to explore the e-reader horizons? Another e-reader to shop is the Kobo Libra Colour, now on sale for $199.99. That knocks 13% off the e-reader, bringing it under $200 and $30 off. It's our favorite color e-reader, and possesses features you can't find in a Kindle like an internal gyroscope and page-turning buttons. Plus, if you really hate Amazon, it's a guarantee that you can still find a fantastic e-reader, one that's even better when it's on sale.

I let the TikTok girlies convince me that I needed a remote control page turner and... they were right. This page turner works by gently tapping the screen of your Kindle when you click on the remote. Paired with a gooseneck stand, it's created the coziest possible setup so I can keep my hands warm under the blankets but still get to the next page in my book. I don't usually like recommending products from random Amazon brands, but the Datafy remote control page turner has worked great for me over the past few months. Ahead of Black Friday, it's just $15.99 — that's $4 off its $19.99 price tag.

If you want to use your remote control page turner, then you'll need a way to prop up your Kindle. I use this gooseneck stand by Magipea. It's super easy to use, able to clamp onto tables of any thickness. It holds Kindles securely, too, no budging if you move or bump into it. It's down to $16.12 ahead of Black Friday, saving you 46% off and $13.87.

I found plenty more Kindle stands on sale, including one that doubles as a snack tray.

Most of the time, I prefer not to buy books for my Kindle and instead borrow books through Libby. But if I do buy a Kindle book, it's usually because it's under $2. Amazon is always dropping prices on books, and you can often find prize-winning and bestselling titles for $2 or less. Last week, the book deals were a little better, but there are still some hidden gems like Writers & Lovers by Lily King for just $1.99.

Black Friday is officially here, and retailers are serving up significant discounts on MacBooks. In fact, we don't expect prices to get any lower on the core 2025 models — all of which are on sale right now.

Some retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, have already officially kicked off their Black Friday sales, and their deals on Apple laptops reflect that. Some standouts include a refurbished M3 MacBook Air for just $570 (a steal over the $599 M1 MacBook Air deal from Walmart) and the M4 MacBook Air down to $749.

SEE ALSO: Everything to know about Black Friday 2025: Best early deals, sale dates, price matching, and more

These deals beat out what you're going to find at the Apple Store. As usual, the brand will be 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. (Womp, womp.) But as far as discounts go, Apple will be bereft of discounts like those you can find elsewhere. Here's the good news, though. If you're looking for more Apple savings on iPads, AirPads, and more, you can check out our Apple deals recommendations and sign up to receive Mashable's Black Friday deals alert over text.

The Kobo Libra Colour is finally on sale for Black Friday and its now under $200

Mashable - Mon, 11/24/2025 - 18:39

SAVE $30: As of Nov. 24, the Kobo Libra Colour is now down to $199.99 ahead of Black Friday. That saves you $30 off its list price of $229.99, saving you 13% off. That brings the e-reader back down to the same Black Friday price we saw last year.

Here's the thing about e-readers: Amazon usually makes the best ones. I've tested a lot of e-readers and Kindles are fantastic, speedy little devices that makes reading on the go all the better. But that's not great news if you really hate Amazon. Luckily, there's an alternative: Kobo e-readers. While I prefer Kindles, Kobo e-readers still rock. In fact, I actually think if you're looking for a color e-reader, you should go for a Kobo. Even better, our favorite color e-reader, the Kobo Libra Colour, is now on sale ahead of Black Friday.

As of Nov. 24, the Kobo Libra Colour is down to $199.99, returning to its sale price we saw during Black Friday 2024. Normally, $229.99, this is a rare $30 discount on the Kobo Libra Colour. While the device is now 13%, this might not seem that impressive compared to the 20 to 30% off Kindles during Black Friday, it's still a great deal if you're looking for a non-Amazon e-reader.

The Kobo Libra Colour is one of our favorites here at Mashable. It's normally a bit of splurge at $229.99, however, it earns its price tag. Not only does it comes with color displays, it has writing capabilities, page-turning buttons, and an internal gyroscope so you can read from any angle. It won the top spot in our guide to the best color e-readers thanks to all those great features, as its an annotator's day dream. When paired with the Kobo Stylus 2, you can write notes in the margin, journal, and highlight passages on the Kobo Libra Colour.

But it's not the only color e-reader on sale. The Kindle Colorsoft is finally on sale and even cheaper than the Kobo Libra. It's normally $249.99 but during Black Friday, it's down to $169.99. While I think that's an incredible deal, I still say you should consider the Kobo Libra. Having tested both, the Libra Colour and Colorsoft are equally matched on resolution and color quality, but I think the Libra shines for its writing capability and better ergonomic design.

Plus, coming Dec. 2, is the Kobo Remote, which lets you turn the page on the device without having to hold it up. It's really going to be the 'it' accessory for cozy winter reading sessions.

If you're looking for an Amazon-free e-reader, shop the Kobo Libra Colour for just $199.99 and save $30 during Black Friday.

For most shoppers, Black Friday means snatching up the best deals on small kitchen appliances, robot vacuums, and tech before the prices skyrocket back to their pre-sale values. What many bargain hunters don’t realize, though, is that you can actually find tons of Black Friday discounts on travel if you know where to look.

Airlines, hotels, and even one-of-a-kind experiences typically go on sale right before the holiday season, so you can book, save, and travel later. Sure, there are blackout dates, and some deals may require advance booking or have other restrictions, but if you do it right, you can get a luxe vacay for a fraction of the cost.

Below, I’ve rounded up the best Black Friday travel steals to help you plan your next trip without breaking the bank.

Best travel deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Tripadvisor Tripadvisor Black Friday deal Tripadvisor is offering up to 40% off hotels when you book through the app. You’ll also get a $50 welcome offer that’s good to use on experiences when you sign up for the free Tripadvisor Rewards program. Get Deal Why we like it

Starting tomorrow, Tripadvisor is offering up to 40% off hotels when you book through the app. You’ll also get a $50 welcome offer that’s good to use on experiences when you sign up for the free Tripadvisor Rewards program.

With every hotel and experience you book through the Tripadvisor app, you’ll get 5% “Trip Cash” back that you can use for future bookings. (It's basically free money you can immediately put toward your next trip.) You’ll also be able to book directly within the app, whether you’re booking a hotel for the night, dinner reservations, or an experience. Plus, Tripadvisor is one of the most legit travel apps around — all the reviews and photos are 100 percent user-generated, which means there’s no fake marketing attached, and you can make an informed decision based on real customer reviews.

The fine print: This Black Friday offer officially runs from November 25 through Dec. 1. If you download the app and sign up today (November 24), you’ll get a $30 off “Things to Do” offer instead of the $50 bonus. If you miss this main Black Friday/Cyber Monday window, keep an eye out for Travel Deals Tuesday on Dec.2, where they’ll host a separate sale with up to 40% off various hotels and domestic and international travel destinations.

Best flight deal Opens in a new window Credit: JetBlue JetBlue Black Friday deal Right now, you can get up to $450 off select flight and hotel packages when you book through JetBlue Vacations. Get Deal Why we like it

Right now, you can get up to $450 off select flight and hotel packages when you book through JetBlue Vacations.

JetBlue doesn’t get enough credit, if you ask me. They give you little cookies, their seats are larger (in my opinion), and sometimes, they have the little TVs. This package deal is huge because you only need a low deposit of $99 per person to lock in your trip. JetBlue also offers perks like free airport transfers (at select destinations), a Price Match Guarantee if you find a lower price elsewhere, and your first change is free. It’s the perfect way to secure a 2026 tropical getaway now.

The fine print: This deal is an early Black Friday offer and must be booked by Nov. 25 (tomorrow). Travel dates are valid from Jan. 1, 2026, through Oct. 15, 2026. The max $450 discount requires a minimum spend of $4,000 on specific packages like Atlantis Paradise Island (use code PRESALE450). Other packages offer $300 off with a minimum $3,000 spend (use code PRESALE300).

Best mileage hack Opens in a new window Credit: Delta Delta Black Friday deal Earn 4X miles per dollar spent when you purchase $400 or more in Delta Gift Cards. Get Deal Why we like it

Earn 4X miles per dollar spent when you purchase $400 or more in Delta Gift Cards.

This is a low-commitment hack for SkyMiles members who know they’ll be flying Delta next year. If you plan on spending $400 or more on Delta flights anyway, buying a gift card now is basically free miles that you can use toward future travel benefits. Just purchase the gift cards now, earn the miles, and use the card balance later when you're ready to book your actual trip.

The fine print: This offer is valid through Dec. 3, 2025. You'll need to purchase $400 or more in one transaction. Be patient: the bonus miles will be added to your account approximately 30 business days after the promotion ends.

Best hotel deal Opens in a new window Credit: Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection (FATC) Fiesta Americana Travelty Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection (FATC) is offering up to 55% off stand-alone hotel rates and up to 70% off package deals. Get Deal Why we like it

Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection (FATC) is offering up to 55% off stand-alone hotel rates and up to 70% off package deals.

The discount applies across this entire luxury portfolio, which includes resorts like Live Aqua and Grand Fiesta Americana. The savings potential is massive, especially since the majority of their properties are all-inclusive. (This means your biggest cost is getting there, and you just secured your biggest saving!) The best part is the travel window: you can book today and travel all the way up to Dec. 31, 2026. That kind of future flexibility makes this Black Friday purchase a no-brainer.

The fine print: This deal is available to book through Dec. 3. Like most great travel sales, blackout dates apply, so be sure to check those before finalizing your dates.

Best hotel deal for families and fans Opens in a new window Credit: Legoland Legoland Florida Resort Black Friday deal Legoland Florida Resort is offering up to 60% off tickets and up to 60% off Ticket + Room packages. Plus, you can save up to $124 on Annual Passes. Get Deal Why we like it

Legoland Florida Resort is offering up to 60% off tickets and up to 60% off Ticket + Room packages. Plus, you can save up to $124 on Annual Passes.

This is the true "gift" deal of the season. Not only are you saving up to 60% on tickets and packages, but this sale is also the perfect time to commit to a pass if you live nearby or plan on repeat visits, as you can save up to $120 on an Annual Pass. The savings cover tickets to Legoland Florida, Sea Life Florida, and the Peppa Pig Theme Park, making it perfect for families with kids of different ages.

The fine print: This deal runs through Dec. 2, 2025. The travel window for packages is valid for stays from Nov. 30, 2025, through May 21, 2026 (blackout dates apply).

Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and even though the shopping holiday is still a few days out, the deals are already pretty great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo.)

For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, almost all of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target were matching some, but not all of its offers.

It has some exclusive deals on last year's Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity (now 50% off), the 2022 Apple Watch SE 2 (now 36% off), and the three-year-old AirPods Pro 2 (now 44% off). They're anywhere from $40 to $200 cheaper than the newest models.
