Now that we’re in the thick of the holiday season, it also means we’re deep into holiday shopping. Black Friday proper falls late in the month this year on Nov. 29. But official sales from big retailers including Amazon, Greatest Buy, Walmart, and Target have already kicked off. Even if you’re prepared, you know who and what you’re buying for, it’s hard to not get in a tizzy. You’re in luck though, we’ve done most of the leg work for you. At this point we’ve been tracking Black Friday deals for weeks, finding the greatest prices on all the big names: Apple, Bose, Sony, Samsung, and more.

If you want to take the day after Thanksgiving off, you can start shopping early Black Friday deals now. Here are the greatest deals to shop.

Greatest Apple deal

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

“A couple of weeks ago, the MacBook Air got a quiet RAM upgrade, without a price hike. Now, we’re seeing the M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage on sale for $749, officially back to its lowest price ever. With these specs, this MacBook will be more than capable of handling everyday tasks with ease, while offering you more flexibility to run more (and more intensive) programs at once. Considering Mashable reporter Alex Perry called this laptop “just about the ideal work-from-home (or work-from-wherever, really) companion,” in his review, this memory upgrade is certainly welcome.” – Bethany Allard, Shopping Reporter

Greatest robot vacuum deal

Why we like it

“I think of the Roborock Qrevo S as the diet version of my favorite self-emptying robot vacuum right now, the Roborock Qrevo Master. And unless you’re open to spending $1,000 or more on a robot vacuum, you can probably live without the Qrevo Master’s fluff features like a livestream pet camera or extending side mop — especially when, at this price, you could buy a Qrevo S for two stories of your home for less than the price of one on-sale Qrevo Master.

Opting for the cheaper Qrevo is still a solid move: Compared to other 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos also on sale for Black Friday, the Qrevo S is one of the rare options under $500 that washes and dries its mopping pads.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest headphones deal

Why we like it

“Bose makes some of the greatest headphones they’ve tested. The brand’s QuietComfort line-up strikes the genius balance of sound quality and comfort. While the QuietComfort Ultra headphones and earbuds are the most elevated Bose models, the basic QuietComforts are still great.

If you don’t need spatial audio, but you do want sound that will make your music sound better, elevating drop beats and sick synth, go for the Bose QuietComfort headphones. The power button on the side is responsive, and the battery is insanely long. I wore these while taking the train from Boston to New York and by the time I reached my destination, they still had 50% battery life.

Normally, $349, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are down to $199. That saves you $150 for 43% savings.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Greatest Kindle deal

Why we like it

“The new batch of 2024 Kindles are the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can’t beat the SE’s Black Friday price.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That’s some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that’s usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite, lightweight and waterproof design, with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Greatest laptop deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

“Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC has an even longer battery life than the new M4 MacBook Pros — it lasted nearly 23 hours in our testing — and it comes with AI features that ‘make Windows fun again,’ Gedeon wrote. She gave it a 4.8/5; it’s a Mashable Choice Award winner and our current favorite laptop for most people, barring any app compatibility issues.

The upgraded configuration that Gedeon tested is a 13-inch model featuring a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. It usually retails for $1,999.99, but Amazon and the Microsoft Store both have it listed for $1,699.99, or 15% off. That’s its biggest discount to date.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest Echo device deal

Why we like it

“The line-up of Amazon Echo devices is sprawling. You can find everything from a multitasking smart speaker to a touchscreen smart home hub. The absolute greatest deal on Echo devices right now is on the Amazon Echo Pop. This small but mighty device with a quality speaker and built-in assistant so you can play music just by calling out to Alexa.

Currently, it’s down to $17.99 — its lowest price ever. That knocks 55% off the regular price for $22 in savings. While we expect this price to hang around through Black Friday weekend, you can rest assured you’re getting it at a great deal when you buy now.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Greatest TV deal

Why we like it

“Black Friday is all about huge discounts on huge TVs, and this 85-inch Hisense model is a perfect case in point: Now just $650, it’s far cheaper than any other TV this big — not just at Greatest Buy, but at Amazon and Walmart, too. (And abnormally-cheap-for-their-size TVs are really more Walmart‘s thing.) The fact that it has a bright and vibrant QLED display, not a standard 4K screen, sweetens the deal even further.

Kind of surprised this one wasn’t chosen as a doorbuster, TBH. Let’s call it a hidden gem.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest fitness tracker deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the Oura Ring Gen3.

“The previous-gen Oura Ring is an excellent fitness wearable with heart-rate and blood oxygen monitoring, temperature and activity tracking, and a multi-day battery life — all wrapped up in a sleek, durable titanium design. It’s on sale at Greatest Buy this Black Friday for $50 to $200 off, depending on the style and finish (starting from $249.99).” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest kitchen deal

Why we like it

“If you’re getting ready to whip up dozens of Christmas cookies, don’t even think about doing it all by hand. Sure, it will be a great arm workout, but at what cost? Upgrade your kitchen tools ahead of the holiday season with the KitchenAid 5.5-quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. It has twice the power of KitchenAid’s standard tilt-head mixer and can mix batches of 11 dozen cookies at a time. This mixer is no joke.

You can get the savings ahead of Black Friday as it’s marked down to $279.99, saving you $170 for 38% off.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Greatest home deal

Why we like it

As you get ready for guests during the holidays, a vacuum is your greatest friend. It sucks up crumbs leftover from dinner, or anything trailed in on winter boots. In the panic of prepping for visitors, if you don’t want to deal with cords or bags, look to the Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum.

It had whole-machine filtration to seeks to remove the smallest particles from pollen to bacteria. Plus there’s nothing worse than hair getting stuck in the vacuum head, but it automatically detangles hair. Ahead of Black Friday, you can find this vacuum for just $349.99. That saves you $250, for banging savings of 42%.
