Stay tuned, we’ll be updating this post as deals go live, and throughout the holiday weekend.

Looking for the rest of our Black Friday coverage? You can visit our Black Friday hub, or jump straight to one of the posts below:

Today’s Gold Box is lowering the price on a number of PC gaming products. Inside, you’ll find gaming laptops and desktops, as well as a number of Razer, Logitech and HyperX peripherals. Not to mention a ton of monitors.

There’s a ton to choose from here and if you’re looking up upgrade your rig in a big way, start here. Just remember that these deals are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early. Of course, there’s a ton of gear here, so make sure to visit the deal page to see all of your options.

If you’ve been looking to upgrade your PC in a big way, this AOC C24G2 24" Freesync, curved gaming monitor is an unbelievable bargain. This IPS monitor offers a super fast 144hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. Just be warned, this monitor is 1080p, so it won’t work for super cinematic games, but if you’re like me and play on the lowest possible settings to avoid frame drops, this will work perfectly.

This monitor is currently at its lowest price ever and $84 off its average price. Get yours before it sells out.

Isn’t it weird how most of our life is just... data now? Well, right now you can find a place to store all of those memories and work stuff with this Amazon Gold Box sale on memory and storage. There’s something from everybody here—microSD cards, rugged external drives, and awesome network-attached drives from companies like SanDisk, Seagate and Kingston.

If you’re shopping for a microSD card for your Switch, you’ve got a lot of options here.

While we’ve included a few highlights, make sure to check out the full posting for all of the deals. And remember, since this is a Gold Box deal, all of these discounts will get deleted by the end of the day.

Are you ready to start streaming and fill the void left by Ninja on Twitch? You’ll need to check out this one-day sale on streaming essentials.

Inside this Gold Box, you’ll find microphones, webcams, a green screen, networking products and capture cards. That last one is a must-have to start recording and streaming your frags and inane gameplay banter, and you have a few options here.

We’ve included a few highlights below, but make sure to check out the full posting for all of the deals. Just remember, since this is a Gold Box , all of these discounts will get shut down by the end of the day.

Looking to join the Apple family officially? Get on the MacBook train. Right now, you can snag a 13" Macbook Air with 8GB RAM and 128GD SSD Storage (words and letters you hopefully understand) for only $650. That is the lowest price this has ever been on Amazon. It’s $30 below the previous lowest price. So what are you waiting for? Someone you know and love must have a MacBook on their Christmas list.

Just remember, this is a Gold Box sale, meaning that the prices are for today only, while supplies last.

During Black Friday, Amazon’s marking down a truck-full of popular Logitech peripherals for work and play. Inside, you’ll find a lot of speakers, mice and keyboards. I’ve included some of the best options below, including the awesome Logitech MX Master 2S for just $50, but you’ll need to visit the deal page to see all of your options.

LG is already dropping prices on its 4K TVs, but a few bundles on Amazon are going an extra step further and throwing in an Xbox One. For free. Seriously.

To get the free Xbox, you’ll need to go for one of the more expensive TVs. The $1,997 55" Glass Smart TV and $2,997 65" Glass Smart TV come with an Xbox One S, while the 77" Smart OLED model comes with the upgraded Xbox One X.

Sony makes some fantastic 4K HDR TVs, and now Best Buy has the 55" X800G on sale for $499. It’s not the absolute cheapest we’ve seen at this size, but the picture quality should be a step up from what you’d get on less expensive sets.

This isn’t the first time that Google’s crazy cheap Pixel 3a and 3a XL have been down to their lowest price, but it’s still a crazy deal. The Pixel 3a is down to $299, while it’s big brother is a mere $379. Both phones sell unlocked so you can use them on any carrier you want.

Apple’s going all out with its sale of gadgets this year. There’s a lot to get through, but if you’ve been holding out on upgrading to a new iPhone or springing for a new Macbook, now’s the time.

To start with, Verizon is offering $700 off a second iPhone if you buy a new iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max. The starting price for an iPhone 11 is $700 so this is a quick way to score two phones for the price of one. Meanwhile, Best Buy is selling an iPhone SE for a staggeringly low $60.

For iPads, Amazon has the following deals:

If you’re looking for a Macbook, there are some lower-than-usual prices including:

And if you’re more of the all-in-one kind of person, you might be interested in:

You can also check out Apple’s site for more deals on cases, accessories, and plenty more.

Today’s Gold Box is lowering the price on a ton of PCs and accessories. Inside, you’ll find Razer accessories, Netgear routers, monitors (for work and for play) and a number of laptops all marked down to Black Friday low prices.

Just remember that unlike a lot of Black Friday deals, these discounts are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early. Of course, there’s a ton of gear here, so make sure to visit the deal page to see all of your options.

Sonos makes some of the most convenient, best sounding speakers on the market and right now you can save 20% on Sonos’ entire line of speakers. Here are your options: $559 for the Playbase, Playbar, or Sub, and $320-300 for the Beam.

This is an excellent opportunity to save on truly excellent, unbelievably fool-proof speaker system. The best part? The deals are available across multiple retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, just in case one place sells out.

The only real exception to that, is the Sonos Beam. Amazon is selling it for just $300 or $20 less than everyone else.

And if you’re still holding on to a gift card, this is a terrific time to buy.

Dell’s Black Friday sales have gone live and there are some doozies in there. Like this Inspiron 15 3000 laptop for a dirt cheap $199, or this basic Dell desktop for $329. The company has hundreds of deals including gaming PCs, monitors, and 4K TVs, so check out the full sale here.

Have your cake and stream it too with the Google Chromecast Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player. Enjoy all your favorite shows, movies and YouTube channels, while also streaming live TV, music, Netflix, Disney+ and the 100 photos you took of your dog napping. All on your 4K TV.

You have the option to use your phone to play, pause and control the volume, or pair it with your Google home.

This tiny, but mighty gadget is already plenty of bang for your buck, but you can now save $20 during Black Friday.

If you’re on a tighter budget, the third-generation Google Chromecast is a great option and will be on sale for $25 during Black Friday. The two models are nearly identically, except this option loses 4K streaming capability.

While it’s not one of its high-end cousins with all the bells and whistles, the TCL 4-series offers a decent mid-range 4K TV that’s your typical jack of all trades, master of none. This is your chance to score a 50 or 55 inch set with HDR10 support and Roku software built-in. Both models are currently marked down to the lowest price seen on Amazon.

Roku compatibly will let you access to the most streaming services with ease, provided you have a subscription with said services.

If you’re looking to upgrade to an affordable 4K TV with a decent feature set without breaking your bank, look no further as this set is for you.

Samsung’s class-leading 4K TVs are on sale at Best Buy today at some incredibly low prices. Starting at a bargain-bin $230 for a 43" TV, the deals scale up from there. $350 will get you a 50" TV, $550 for a 70", and $750 for a massive 75" TV.

LG is dropping prices on its biggest 4K TVs today, but if you want to save a little extra, you can grab them on Amazon where TVs are coming with a bundled soundbar, mounting kit, universal remote, surge protector, and everything else you need to get your TV up and running.

The TVs start at $1,197 for a 55" 4K OLED TV, on up to a whopping $4,997 for a 77" OLED, though that last one is normally $6,999 so it’s nothing to sneeze at. Curiously, LG’s 55" OLED Glass Smart TV is $2,037, which is just slightly more expensive than getting the TV by itself at $1,997, but for what you get with the kit, it’s more than worth it. All the other TVs are exactly the same price they’d be if you bought them without the extra gear, so you may as well.

LG is already dropping prices on its 4K TVs, but a few bundles on Amazon are going an extra step further and throwing in an Xbox One. For free. Seriously.

To get the free Xbox, you’ll need to go for one of the more expensive TVs. The $1,997 55" Glass Smart TV and $2,997 65" Glass Smart TV come with an Xbox One S, while the 77" Smart OLED model comes with the upgraded Xbox One X.

For those blessed with a microSD card slot in their smartphone, you can add lots of space with these discounted SanDisk microSD cards. Choose from a $7 32GB unit all the way up to a 256 MicroSD Card for $30.

Of course, these cards will for your action cam, dash cam, tablet, or Nintendo Switch, too. But just a heads-up, you’ll get a better deal if you use your Amazon Prime Credit Card, which will net you 15% cash back on your purchase.

What’s old is new again with instant film cameras. This discounted Instax 9 bundle includes not just the cute, chunky Instax 9 camera in mint green, purple/pink, or smokey purple, but also a number of handy accessories: a protective white case, a hand strap, the two necessary AA batteries, a close-up lens attachments, and most importantly, two packs (20 sheets) of rainbow film.

It’s more common to see the film camera come in at this price on its own, so this bundle is a smart deal. You’ll (definitely) need film and (probably) want a case anyway, meaning that this deal is your best route to being able to use the camera right out of the box.

On the hunt for a quality laptop that won’t break the bank? Good thing you waited until Black Friday sales began! Right now, you can get the Lenovo Ideapad 330s 15.6" Laptop for $299 ($150 off) at Walmart.

Our beloved Deals Researcher, Corey Foster, recommends this as a good deal, because, “You’re getting a mid-range laptop at a budget-range laptop price. Great for doing just about everything except mid to high-end gaming.”

Omen by HP, a brand that will be familiar to anyone who’s watched even fifteen minutes of the Overwatch League, is dropping the price of its 15.6" gaming laptop down to a meager $949. As if that weren’t enough, they’re tossing in an Omen gaming headset and mouse, so you can get in voice chat and please, whatever you do, call out your targets.

LG has no shortage of TV deals today, but some of them are a bit on the pricier side. If you’d prefer a cheap TV with no frills, this one at Best Buy might be more your speed. $299 gets you 55 inches of 4K HDR-compatible screen.

Everything is better when it comes in rose gold. Well, maybe not better, but certainly prettier. Get a pair of rose gold Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Headphones for $249. That is the cheapest these headphones have ever been on Amazon. The silver and black headphones are also marked down, but only to $279, still, a nice price compared to the retail but not quite as good as the rose gold deal.

Pick up SanDisk’s 512GB microSD card and never want for more storage on your Nintendo Switch ever again. With U3 write speeds, it’s ideal for 4K action cams too.

Let’s be clear here, 512GB is probably overkill for your Switch but $80 (the lowest price ever, by the way) is a small price to pay for never having to worry about the number of digital downloads you buy via the Switch’s online store, right?

For what it’s worth, this particular storage option usually sells for about $40-50 more.

Target and Amazon are offering the Beat Solo3 wireless headphones for $129.99 this Black Friday, making it the prime time to buy this popular model.

The Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones are a hit for a reason—they block external noise, have up to 22 hours of battery life and easily connect via Bluetooth without pesky wires.

The wireless noise-canceling headphones are a must for uninterrupted listening at the gym or during your commute on the train or bus. If the price has held you back, this is your time to act and take advantage of the booming savings.

It is a storage savings bonanza right now! You can save big during today’s SanDisk and WD Gold Box on Amazon. Get flash drives, MicroUSBs, Micro SD cards, external hard drives, and more. Everything is deeply discounted during this sale, so you’re bound to find the right deal for you.

And just remember, since this is a Gold Box sale, these prices are for today only and while supplies last.

During Black Friday, nearly every retailer is dropping the price on the best noise canceling headphones right now, the Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones.

While supplies last, you can snag them and mute the entire world around you for $280, which is $70 less than usual. And, sure, that’s is still a big investment, but if you spend a lot of time in noisy planes and trains, or if you work in an open office and just need to be able to find a quiet space, you won’t find a better set of headphones.

Mechanical keyboard manufacturer Keychron is currently slashing prices on its wired and wireless keyboards, ranging from 20% off of its RGB wired/wireless model, bringing it down to $79, all the way up to 36% off its basic Bluetooth keyboard, for a low $64. Check out Keychron’s sale page for more info.

If you take your home WiFi coverage seriously, eero’s mesh routers are some of the best you can buy, and Best Buy is running an awesome deal on a three-pack.

This reader favorite is now selling for just $160. The main base station plugs into your modem, and the satellites automatically create a mesh network that can fill over 5,000 square feet of space with sweet, sweet, Wi-Fi.

These typically sell between $250-$200, so this is a terrific time to buy.

As far as power strips are concerned, Anker PowerPort Cube is the niftiest by far. And right now, you can pick it up for a low $17. This particular model offers 3 AC outlets and 3 USB ports and it can be mounted to a wall or under a desk with the included adhesive pads.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this particular product. And perhaps the best part? It comes with an 18-month warranty. Just make sure to clip the coupon code on the page to get the best price.

You get a bundle! You get a bundle! EVERYONE GETS A BUNDLE! - Literally, what went down in a pitch meeting at Amazon HQ this week. Okay, not literally, but maybe. We’re one week out from Black Friday and Amazon is preparing by bundling virtually everything.

There’s an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Bundle with TP-Link Smart Plug for $35, a Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Echo Show 5 for $139, a 3-Pack Echo Dot Bundle for $65. There are a few bundles that include Tiles. You can get a Tile Pro 4-Pack + Echo Dot for $100, a Tile Essentials 4-Pack + Echo Dot for $70, and a Tile Sticker 4-Pack + Echo Dot for $60.

You can also add the Fire TV Blaster Bundle to your cart (itis preorder only, right now), which includes a Fire TV Stick 4K, an Echo Dot, and a Fire TV Blaster. The Blaster works with the Fire TV Stick and the Echo Dot to make everything hands-free.

These aren’t Sony’s best noise canceling Bluetooth headphones—that honor goes to the WH1000XM3s—but these wireless over-ears are still a fantastic deal for $88.

The WH-CH700Ns run for up to 30 hours in wireless noise canceling mode, or you can plug them in with a 3.5mm cord to extend that to 50 hours. If you travel a lot, or just work in a noisy office environment, this is a.. sound investment.

Normally $140-170, you can grab a pair of the Jabra Elite 65t truly wireless earbuds, for a low $100. They promise up to 5 hours of use on a single charge with an additional 15 hours thanks to its charging case. They’re also $50 cheaper than AirPods.

Better still, if you have an Amazon Prime credit card, you’ll get 20% back on these incredible headphones. That makes it more like $80 if you think about it.

For what it’s worth, this is $10 cheaper than Best Buy’s advertised Black Friday price. So act fast, I’m not sure how long this’ll stay in stock.

Knock on wood, but Solid State Drive pricing seems like it might finally be recovering from a multi-year, worldwide NAND shortage. And SSDs, like this SanDisk Ultra 512GB unit, can do more for performance than, say, a new CPU or more RAM. And for $55, there is no reason to hesitate. This particular 2.5-inch model is currently marked down to the lowest price we’ve seen on Amazon.

Amazon has a pair of exclusive Sennheiser headphones on sale for $70 less than usual today. The first is the Sennheiser HD 599 SE open back headphones, which are famous for being super comfortable and offering clear and detailed sound, thanks to the open back design.

Be warned, this type of headphone is designed for home listening—they leak sound, which could disturb those around you, and you hear a lot of the outside world. With this current discount, this makes an argument for the best value in audiophile-grade headphones today.

Additionally, Sennheiser’s Sony WH-1000xm3 alternative offers great sound and a bare-bones noise canceling experience for less than half the price of the competition.

These cans leave out a lot of the bell and whistles of the competition, such as touch controls and a voice-assistant dedicated button. But they deliver what most people care about most: price and sound quality.

Both are on sale for $100 today, which are their advertised Black Friday prices. So, no need to wait.

Status Audio offers a minimalist audio experience with a lineup of five pairs of headphones, all with a 30-day guarantee and a one-year warranty. Whether in the market for wireless bluetooth headphones or simple earbuds, Status fans know they’ll get superior sound quality without the excess branding or cost seen from some mass-market brands.

For Black Friday, Status has slashed prices on all models, no promo code required. With this sale, audiophiles can grab a pair of BT One on-ear wireless bluetooth headphones for $59, down $40 from its regular price of $99. These prices are available until Tuesday, Dec. 5 and is also available at Amazon—check out your options below.

Black Friday will be here in days, but a number of Amazon devices are already on sale. Don’t wait until Friday is here and everything is already sold out. If you’ve been on the hunt for a new Kindle, you’re in luck.

Right now, you can get an all-new Kindle with Built-In Front Light for $60 on Amazon. The Kindle Paperwhite in black is marked down to $85, while the Twilight Blue is $110. All Kindle orders come with a $5 eBook credit. Keep that in mind, since Amazon always has Kindle eBook sales on Sundays, with prices between $1 to $5.

Samsung makes some of the best solid state drives around and this Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD is currently marked down to $60, an all-time low.

It bears repeating that SSDs are a huge upgrade over a spinning hard drive for your computer, in terms of speed and reliability. This 500GB model offers sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s. This is also the easiest way to get more performance from your older computer.

Google has a habit of giving away Google Home Minis, but even so this bundle is a looker. For $35, you can grab a Google Home Mini, plus a standard Chromecast, both of which usually cost at least that much alone. The one downside is that this Chromecast only casts in HD, so if you’ve grabbed a new 4K TV, this won’t make use of it, but it’s still handy to have around.

When it comes to building your own smart home kit, you’ll probably end up in either Amazon or Google’s world. If you want to go the Amazon route, you can pick up these voice-controlled wall plugs for $25 each at Lowe’s. You’ll need to bring your own Alexa-powered smart speakers, but these plugs are a helpful start.

For those who prefer Google’s world, this $20 kit comes with a Google Home Mini, as well as one GE smart bulb. It’s one of the least expensive ways to get started with a smart home we’ve seen, but be warned, you probably won’t want to stop with just one voice-controlled light.

Amazon-owned Ring cameras are on sale for some pretty decent prices, if you want to slap some cameras on the outside of your house. Starting at $129 for the Ring Video Doorbell 2, and $199 for the Ring Floodlight Camera.

But to sweeten the deal, Amazon is throwing in free Echos with most of these cameras. Echo Dots accompany the Spotlight Cam and Floodlight Camera, while the Video Doorbell Pro comes with a free Echo Show 5. The Video Doorbell 2 will ask for an extra $10 to get the Echo Show 5, but since the smart display is usually $90—and still $50 even on Black Friday—it seems a pretty fair ask.

Before hoverboards were hoverboards, the Segway was on the market revolutionizing personal travel. At least for mall cops. Today the Segway Ninebot S isn’t quite as minimalist as your typical hoverboard, but it’s got a lot more bells and whistles. And for $379, it’s as close to its historically lowest price as we’ve seen it in months.

Gamers, the smartphone deal you’ve been waiting for is here. An unlocked, second-generation Razer Phone is down to $300 on Amazon right now, that’s a discount of about $300.

Gizmodo says “Razer’s second effort is something that’s better for both normies and gamers” thanks to the upgrades made to its speaker, screen, and cameras.

Other noteworthy features of the Razer Phone 2 include RGB lighting, Android 9.0 Pie, IP67 water-resistance, Qi wireless charging, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, 8GB of RAM, and 5.7-inch 120Hz screen.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to upgrade your phone, this is a terrific deal.
