Everything to know about Best Buy Black Friday 2025: Doorbusters, best deals still live, ad highlights

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 17:46

Best Buy has been treating the entire month of November like one drawn-out holiday deal dump, and even now that Black Friday has passed, there are still hundreds of markdowns on name-brand tech across all departments. Its main attractions include record-low prices on big-ticket items like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops, free $100 gift cards attached to OLED TVs, plus revolving rounds of doorbusters that feature bonus rewards for paid My Best Buy members.

Best Buy's Black Friday deals are available online and in stores, so if you want to visit a nearby location to check out a gadget before you buy it, the option is there. But the deals only last so long. Best Buy's Black Friday sale ends today, Nov. 29, so we expect to see doorbuster deals disappear soon.

Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you shop, including its opening hours, doorbuster lineup, holiday return policy, price-match guarantee, and the best deals to shop now.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale?

Best Buy's Black Friday sale began on Thursday, Nov. 20, and wraps up today, Saturday, Nov. 29. All of its feature deals are available in stores, online, and on the Best Buy mobile app, according to a company press release.

When is Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale?

Best Buy kicks off its Cyber Monday savings event tomorrow, Sunday, Nov. 30, and runs for 48 hours through Dec. 1 (aka actual Cyber Monday). The company's press release notes that "there will be limited-time deals available throughout the event," so expect a slightly different assortment than its Black Friday sale.

What time does Best Buy open on Black Friday?

Best Buy stores opened at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday, but as of Saturday, Nov. 29, stores will resume normal hours.

Does Best Buy do doorbusters?

Yes, Best Buy is supplementing its Black Friday deals with some limited-time doorbusters, which it's billing as "some of the best deals on the hottest tech of the season." These offers drop in batches every Friday through Christmas, and paid My Best Buy members earn $5 in bonus rewards for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25). That includes the Plus and Total membership tiers.

I've listed all of Best Buy's current doorbusters below. All of them are decent deals except for the EA video games and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which are cheaper to buy from Amazon and/or Walmart.

Best Black Friday deals at Best Buy

I've spent hours upon hours combing through Best Buy's Black Friday deals, and I've identified just over 150 of them that are worth shopping. (By that I mean they aren't one-upped by better offers at other retailers.) Here's a quick look at the highlights:

Best Buy doesn't price-match competitors' deals during Black Friday, but it will price-match itself. If something you've bought there from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 gets cheaper during that period, you can request to have your purchase adjusted to the better price through Jan. 15, 2026. The only items that aren't covered by this price-match guarantee are holiday decorations and products that come with a third-party contract (like smartphones).

For example, if you purchased a pair of Apple AirPods Max for $429.99 at Best Buy earlier this week, you should be able to take advantage of their new lower price of $399.99 (live as of Nov. 25).

What is Best Buy's return policy?

Under its extended holiday return policy, Best Buy will accept returns for most items purchased from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 through Jan. 15, 2026. That deadline stretches to Jan. 31 for paid My Best Buy members.

Similar exclusions apply here. Holiday decorations have a 15-day return window, for one. "Activatable" devices (meaning those that come with data plans) can only be returned within 14 days, and they have a $45 restocking fee if opened. Scooters, drones, digital cameras, action cameras, lenses, projectors, fitness recovery devices, cold tubs, saunas, and special-order products have a 15% restocking fee if they're unboxed.

Is the LG C5 OLED TV deal as good as it seems?

Serious deal hunters will notice a conspicuous absence from this guide: The award-winning LG C5 OLED TV, specifically the 65-inch model. A lot of our competitors are writing about Best Buy's Black Friday deal on it, and it's easy to see why. The retailer has it listed for $1,399.99, or $1,300 off its usual price. That's a really attractive discount on what's arguably the best TV ever made.

However, this deal isn't as good as it seems. Amazon has been selling the same TV for $1,346.99, but on Black Friday, it dropped prices all the way down to $1,219.99.

But as for the actual best Black Friday OLED TV deal, we're giving that title to the Samsung S95F OLED. That's another of our top OLED TV recommendations for its wickedly effective glare handling, and the 65-inch model is $1,000 off at Best Buy with a free $100 gift card on top.

While Arceus isn't optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, it's still such a great game. With a cheeky discount for Black Friday week thrown in, you should see what you've been missing out on.

I love the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and its $270 off for Cyber Monday at Best Buy

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 17:15

SAVE $270: Through Cyber Monday at Best Buy, you can get the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 4K Gimbal Camera at Best Buy for 34% off its usual price of $799.99, a huge $270 discount.

Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Pocket 3 $529.99 at DJI
$799.99 Save $270 Mashable Tested ✅ Get Deal

I reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for Mashable in late 2023, and I gave it 4.8 out of 5 stars and a Mashable Choice Award. I've never been sadder to send back a product. In the two years since, whenever I attend an event where vloggers or creators gather, I see this camera everywhere. It's a cult-favorite camera among creators, and it's made appearances in Mashable's In My Bag series as well.

If this camera is on your wishlist already, but the $799.99 price tag has stopped you, then I have very good news. This camera almost never goes on sale, but right now, it's $270 off as part of Best Buy's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale. That's a huge discount, and it makes this 4K gimbal camera much more affordable. For creators, this is probably the best Black Friday deal so far.

SEE ALSO: 150+ Best Buy Black Friday deals that aren't cheaper anywhere else: AirPods Max, mini LED TVs, and more

What makes this camera so special? It's a gimbal camera that shoots steady video even as you navigate a crowded space, letting you easily pan and track as needed. It can also identify and follow faces when you or a subject is speaking directly to the camera, helping you shoot professional-quality footage wherever you are. It also features a rotatable 2-inch touchscreen, so you can see exactly what's in frame at any given moment.

The 3-axis stabilization ensures you always get smooth footage, and the camera itself is also impressive. The 1-inch CMOS sensor can capture 4K video at 120fps (it records in MP4 format). In my review, I said that "I can't imagine a better social video camera," and in the two years since its release, it's still the gold standard for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and livestreaming.

Is this product available at Amazon?

You can find the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 at Amazon, but only from third-party sellers. For that reason, we'd shop this Cyber Monday deal at Best Buy.

DJI products are getting harder to find in the U.S. this year thanks to an impending DJI drone ban, so I recommend jumping on this one, and fast.

Prime members can save $5 on $25 of groceries at Amazon through Cyber Monday

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:47

SAVE $5 WHEN YOU SPEND $25: Even as Black Friday winds down, the savings are still plentiful, especially on essentials. Amazon is running a fantastic promotion on groceries that saves you $5 off $25 of select groceries.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon $5 off $25 of Amazon Groceries Promotion available on select groceries. Get Deal

What's the state of your post-Thanksgiving fridge? I know ours is packed to the brim with leftovers. But if you're on your last Tupperware of turkey or needing to restock on groceries for the week, there's a Black Friday deal for you. Right now, Amazon is helping you save on groceries.

As of Nov. 29, save $5 on $25 of select Amazon groceries. That's an easy 20% off that goes back in your pocket. Plus, the best part is that with Amazon groceries, you can get them delivered, giving you more time on the couch and less time among the crowds.

This promotion applies to select groceries, but luckily, it's not on obscure or expensive specialty items. The discount applies to everyday items to keep you well-nourished and fed. Grab fresh fruit like blueberries and raspberries, snacks like Ritz crackers and cheese sticks, and even sweet treats like Lindt truffles.

Amazon's grocery promotion ends Dec. 1 at 11:59 pm PT, so you have until Cyber Monday to shop.

Black Friday is technically over, but most of the savings live on for a little while longer. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised at how many big price drops we've seen on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.

Whether you want to gear up for cold-weather adventures, stock up for spring and summer camping, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We're tracking all of the best Black Friday outdoor deals below as we head into Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest deals.

Some popular favorites got the real deal treatment for Black Friday — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Thankfully, for all you procrastinators out there, most of those deals are still live as we head into Cyber Monday. We've even spied some deals on outdoor apparel from Arc'teryx on sale.

Be sure to follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday and Cyber Monday hubs.

$1,499 Save $820   Get Deal Why we like it

A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. It dropped to a record-low $699 for Black Friday — $800 off its $1,499 list price — and we didn't think it could get any lower. But somehow, post-Black Friday, it dropped another $20. In this case, procrastinating paid off.

Note: Amazon has deflated its list price, which sells this deal short. It's usually listed for $1,499, making it a much more impressive 55% in savings.

A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal dropped it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy. And thankfully, the deal is still live post-Black Friday if you missed out.

The powerful Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler is easy use and transport, and you can set the temperature as a freezer or refrigerator. Not only will the cooler keep your foods perfectly chilled for days, the battery that powers up the electric cooler can also recharge your phone at the campground.

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:41

Black Friday is here, 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 for low prices in person. If you prefer to avoid shipping costs and want to go hands-on with products before buying, most Walmart stores are open during their regular hours now that Black Friday has passed.

Plus, Cyber Monday is coming, and the bulk of those deals will be online too.

No — Walmart won't price-match other retailers' Black Friday deals, and it doesn't offer retroactive price adjustments. However, if something you bought there recently gets cheaper later on during its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, you can always just return it and rebuy it. Under Walmart's extended holiday return policy, most items purchased in stores or online from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 are returnable until Jan. 31, 2026.

Walmart Cyber Monday early access

Paid Walmart+ members got to shop the retailer's Black Friday sale five hours before everyone else, and they'll get the same opportunity ahead of its Cyber Monday sale. The deals will open to Walmart+ members in early access at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 30.

If you haven't joined the Walmart+ program yet, Walmart has a promotion going on for new members. One-year subscriptions are just $49 (or 50% off) through Tuesday, Dec. 2. A Walmart+ membership comes with tons of other perks besides early access to its biggest sales, including free delivery, free access to either Paramount+ or Peacock, and gas discounts.

I just found an RTX 5090 for $999 on Amazon — here's why you should never buy one

How-To Geek - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:30

If there's one single PC component that's always outrageously expensive, it's Nvidia's RTX 5090 graphics card. It launched at $1,999, but good luck finding it for less than $2,300, and some models hit over $3,000.

Apple's rumored $600 MacBook could kill the Chromebook

How-To Geek - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:30

The MacBook lineup is one of the best-performing laptops, but at its price, it’s not the most appealing to the average consumer. Apple released a 12-inch laptop in 2015 that fit the mold of a budget-friendly MacBook, but it was poorly received because it lacked key features and cost too much.

If you're looking to upgrade your battle station or add to your backlog, there's still time to do it for a bargain price. There are a huge number of live and last-chance gaming deals out there.

PlayStation has quite a few exciting Black Friday deals, but if you've been hoping to get a new console ahead of the holidays, now's a great time to do it. Amazon's slashed $100.99 off the price of the PlayStation 5 slim disc edition console, bringing its price down from $549.99 to $449.

With this 1TB console, you'll be all set to play a wide variety of games over the holidays. It even comes with Astro's Playroom pre-installed, which is a delightful game to jump into right away! And with GTA 6 expected to arrive next year, what better time to grab a new console to play one of the biggest games of all time?

This has replaced my Pro Controller when playing my Nintendo Switch 2. The buttons are nice and clicky, the RGB thumbsticks are a nice touch, and it feels great to hold. It carries the same minimalist aesthetic of Nintendo controllers, but feels more tactile. Plus, with the added discount and an included charging dock, you should be considering this controller for Nintendo Switch 1/2 and even PC.

As a quick rule of thumb, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the sweet spot for gaming rigs in 2025, smashing out 4K 60FPS performance at a minimum and having DLSS 4 to crank extra frames on lower spec builds overall.

This build rocks an RTX 5080 with a solid CPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM (16GB is enough for high-spec gaming right now), and a spacious 2TB M.2 SSD. It's a beastly gaming rig and is $300 off, bringing this build to $2,899.99. I've also found some more great deals on pre-built gaming PCs, gaming laptops, mice, keyboards, and headsets. If you need something for your loadout, it's here.

If you’re looking to go the whole digital hog this Black Friday, the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is most certainly that: VR2 headset, Horizon Call of the Mountain game, and PS VR2 Sense controllers.

In gaming terms, it really is another world. But it’s a little more accessible to everyone for Black Friday thanks to a competitive markdown of over $100. That means the whole bundle is just $299.99 for the immersive 4K visuals, 110º field of view, and ultra-intuitive controls with haptic feedback — all of which make you feel like you really are right there in the action.

That time Motorola put a keyboard on the back of a phone

How-To Geek - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:00

Physical keyboards on phones aren't really a thing anymore, and that's a shame. Not because they were better than virtual keyboards, but because they allowed for some truly strange phone designs. Take the Motorola Backflip, for example.

Im a tech editor and Id recommend these 60 Black Friday tech deals to friends and family. Find savings on DJI, Sony, Apple.

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 15:21

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 everyday fitness trackers and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which deals you can safely skip.

In this guide, you'll find all the best Black Friday tech deals I'd actually recommend to my friends and family. Before recommending an LG OLED TV or an Anker power station, 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.

Keep checking back as I add new discounts 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.

The new Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

Our favorite noise-cancelling wireless earbuds have been on sale since Amazon started its Black Friday sale earlier this week, but they got a surprise $30 price drop the morning of Black Friday. You can now buy the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $216, a new record price and a discount of 28%, 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.

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, 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.

Apple just launched the new version of its starter smartwatch in September, and it's already earned a spot in my guide to the best smartwatches of the year. The truth is, while we also loved the longer-lasting Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra Watch 3, the new SE 3 is the right pick for the vast majority of people. This is a true lifestyle smartwatch that also does double duty as a fitness and sleep tracker. Plus, it even has an always-on Retina OLED display. You can pick up this affordable Apple smartwatch for $199.99 at Amazon, a 20% discount.

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.

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.

Amazon devices are up to 55% off for Black Friday, 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.

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).

Amazon isn't our go-to destination for laptops, but for Black Friday, they have a great deal on a popular Copilot+ PC. This Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has never been priced below $500 before now, and you can save 36% on the retail price at Amazon. Unlike most laptops at Amazon, this PC isn't sold by a sketchy third-party seller — it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. It also has very impressive specs for an under-$500 laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon X chip.

$699.99 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 Black Friday. My recommendation? The Miss Rachel and Llama Llama Tonies.

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 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.

Usually, we see 50% discounts on portable hard drives, SD cards, and flash drives during Black Friday, 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!

$117.99 Save $8   Get Deal Re-up on Apple AirTags

Happy Black Friday, because the Apple AirTags just dropped in price to $62.99, the lowest-ever price for these popular trackers. (Update: They're going back up in price at Amazon, but Best Buy still has this price available.) Look, the best Black Friday deals aren't always super exciting, but this is your chance to stock up on products you need. Using ultra-wideband technology and Apple's Find My network, there's no better way to track lost items.

Eufy may not have quite the name recognition as iRobot in the vacuum space, but you'll find Eufy robot vacuums all over Mashable shopping guides. If you're looking for a premium robot vacuum and mop combo, try the Eufy S1 Pro, which has a roller mop, self-cleaning, self-drying, and a 50% discount. 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.

If a new smart TV isn't in your budget this year, that doesn't mean you have to be locked out of the latest streaming apps. Access everything from Amazon's Prime Video to Apple TV and Spotify using this affordable streaming stick from Roku. You'll still have to pay for all those apps, but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a new TV.

This is the ultimate splurge this holiday season — Samsung's new AR/VR headset, the Galaxy XR. 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.

Amazon always discounts its devices for big sales, and right now you can grab the popular Blink Mini 2 security camera for just $17.99, a 55% discount. We don't expect this product to get any cheaper come Thanksgiving, so go ahead and stock up and protect your home.

I've tested several Jackery Explorer power stations over the years, and I've never had a bad experience. The brand helped popularize this product category in the United States, and it's easy to see why. 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.

Just like Bose, Sony also released a sequel to its flagship headphones this year. The new XM6 headphones are elite, truly. But having tested them against the previous-gen XM5 model, I'm strongly recommending you buy the XM5s now that they're finally back on sale. Here's the truth: They're more alike than different. And right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $248, a record-low price. Compare that to the $428 price tag on the new model, and your choice is simple.

The new Google Pixel smartwatch is my favorite Android smartwatch of the year, and in our review, we called it a true runner's smartwatch. And to prove it, one of our reporters recently trained and ran a marathon while using it. So, when I say it's a good smartwatch for running, you can really believe me. For Black Friday, this smartwatch got its first-ever discount.

Even as other sites recommended Best Buy's deal on the LG C5 OLED TV, I've been holding out for a proper price drop. Best Buy's sale price has been available at Amazon since October. Well, patience is a virtue, because as the sun rises on Black Friday, the LG 65-inch C5 Series OLED EVO 4K Smart TV has finally gotten a real price drop at Amazon. The C Series is probably the most award-winning line of TVs in the world, and every year it tops lists of the best TVs.

This TV may only be available from third-party sellers in your region, so check the seller's reviews on Amazon before adding it to your cart. You can also pick up this TV at LG and Best Buy, though Amazon has the better price by far.

If you want to buy a robot vacuum during Prime Day, then we recommend steering clear of Roomba. I've already recommended Eufy's popular budget and mid-range vacuums, but if you're looking for the best of the best, our favorite robot vacuum of the year is currently on sale. 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. With sophisticated mapping, mopping, self-cleaning, and obstacle avoidance, it does it all. It can even act as a pet camera.

With 128GB of storage and instant access to over 40 games, this solid Black Friday VR deal lets you discover an entirely new type of gaming. Though, personally, I prefer to use VR for watching 3D movies and other types of VR video content.

I've been waiting patiently for gaming laptop deals to pop off for Black Friday, and they finally did. The Lenovo LOQ 15 has gone on sale for as little as $864.49 in the past, but it's currently on sale for $799.99. That's a new all-time low and a great price on this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This is the gaming laptop you'll find on my own desk right now, and it's a good entry-level model.

We're big fans of Oura smart rings at Mashable, and the brand's Black Friday sale officially started, knocking $100 off its Oura Ring 4. Our reviewer praised Oura for its great balance of health, fitness, and sleep tracking metrics, and there's a reason these smart rings are beloved by many pro athletes.

This is the year we fell for British brand Nothing. In our review of the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, we said that Nothing could be charging three or four times as much for this AMOLED smartwatch. For Black Friday, this watch finally dropped down to $79 just as we hoped. This smartwatch has an incredible display and excels as a fitness and sleep tracker, but it really puts the competition to shame when it comes to battery life.

We love Kindles here at Mashable, and we've tested them all. I already told you my personal favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, but the truth is all of Amazon's e-readers are fantastic. 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. Ahead of Black Friday, the only Kobo on sale is the Libra Colour, which is our favorite color e-reader. It's down to $199.99, back down to the low price it was during Black Friday 2024.

$229.99 Save $30   Get Deal A well-priced iPad Air

To be honest, the Black Friday 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 Black Friday 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.

While Oura might be the buzzier fitness tracker, Whoop still makes great trackers. Mashable's Christianna Silva just wore seven fitness trackers while training for the NYC marathon and determined that the Whoop MG was the best overall pick for marathon training. But even for the average Joe, it's a smart pickup, not to mention our favorite sleep tracker. During Black Friday, Whoop 5.0 and MG trackers are 17%, getting you up to $40 or $60 off.

PlayStation and PS5 console Black Friday deals are very popular this year, and while the prices aren't as low as I'd hoped, they are as low as I expected, given the ongoing tariff and price hikes we've seen in this sector. A lot of PS5 bundles are on sale right now, but I'd recommend the Fortnite bundles in particular, available now at Amazon.

It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter
