Best laptop deals

The laptop deals we’re most hyped about are the MacBook Pro deals at Best Buy. Select models are $200 or $300 off and they come with a year free of Apple TV+ and three months free of Apple Music. MacBook deals can be pretty hit or miss, so it’s good to see a solid hit, especially on the new MacBooks Pros with Touch Bar. There’s also a MacBook Air model that’s $200 off at Best Buy.

Best TV deals
Bigger is not always better when it comes to TVs. Sure, an 85-inch TV sounds awesome until it’s time to figure out where you can actually fit it in your home. (If you have that kind of space, then congrats, no need to flex.) We’re loving the TCL 50-inch 4K Roku TV on sale at Walmart for $249.99, saving you $230, proving that you don’t have to drop a small fortune for a decently sized 4K smart TV.

Best headphone deals
Sennheiser might not be the first name that pops into your mind when you think of headphones, but it’s definitely a brand to watch. Sennheiser’s HD 4.50 SE wireless noise-canceling headphones are a pretty stellar audio accessory. And $79.95 (their Black Friday price) is a really great price to pay for a decent pair of noise-canceling headphones from a reputable brand.

Best tablet deals

How much you should spend on a tablet depends on what you’re going to use it for. If you’re an artist or designer, the more advanced iPad Pro is probably the better option for you. But if you just want a tablet as another screen to watch Netflix, browse Twitter, or play Candy Crush we recommend the standard iPad, which happens to be $80 off for Black Friday.
