This deal beats last year’s Black Friday price by $70. After being one of the best options for months, the Acer Aspire 3 is now mentioned with honors in our cheap laptop buying guide. It’s still an excellent value, with a large screen and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and the elusive headphone jack). It’s also relatively lightweight compared to similarly sized budget laptops. This model has an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM and a 15.6-inch IPS display. We wish the speakers were louder and the screen was clearer, but if you’re on a tight budget, it’s hard to get more bang for your buck. You can also update to the newest one Acer aspire 5 for beefier specs for $480 ($219 off), which beats last year’s holiday price and gives you a better screen and more RAM.
The recently released Apple Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED recommended) is the best Apple Watch money can buy. Thanks to this deal, it’s a little less money than usual. The discount may not seem stellar, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen so far and it’s unlikely to drop much lower, if at all, during Black Friday. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have blood oxygen detection like previous models, but it has plenty of fitness tracking features and can help collect data on other health statistics, such as respiratory disturbances, training efficiency, and more.
Roku Black Friday deals are nothing new, but it’s a good deal for the best Roku device and our favorite streaming device overall. I recently switched from Amazon’s streaming ecosystem to a Roku device and think it’s a much better experience. There are many free channels to watch (including all How to do itan American version of Great British Baking Showand tons of good things Traveling antique exhibition episodes). The interface is easy to use and customizable, the remote control is fast, and plug-and-play setup couldn’t be simpler.

This headset earned a rare 10/10 review from our tester, who claimed that it was made with some kind of magic. That’s because it has a whopping 300 hours of battery life and sometimes even more in our tests. That’s about 10 times the average. Of course, the sound quality is excellent, as is the comfort and fit. But perhaps the most attractive thing is that you will almost never need to charge it. This deal is $20 off the best price we’ve tracked and $10 off the deal we saw during Black Friday last year. Learn more and get additional recommendations in our Gaming Headset Buying Guide.
This deal was a little cheaper earlier in the week, but we still think it’s a solid discount and most of the seven available colors are on sale for this price or a little less right now. This powerful little speaker is the slightly older version of one of our favorites. It’s water and dust resistant, and the built-in carabiner makes it easy to attach to a backpack or stroller. Its small size also makes it perfect for children. The battery lasts about 10 hours per charge and the sound quality is surprisingly complete despite the speaker’s miniature size.
The unfortunately named Sony WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED recommended) remain our favorite wireless headphones among the hundreds we’ve tested. At $298, this deal matches the best deal we’ve seen on them, and last year’s Black Friday sales only brought them down to $328. They have excellent sound quality, an incredible 30-hour battery life, excellent noise cancellation, and a stylish design. The comfortable fit and intuitive built-in controls complete the listening experience.

This beats last year’s Black Friday discount by $500. The QN900C (8/10, WIRED recommended) is undeniably expensive, but this is one of the best deals we’ve tracked. It’s gorgeous and has clear, exquisitely detailed video quality, with deep blacks, vivid colors and some of the smoothest motion processing you’ve ever seen. It can also handle up to 8K resolution.
This is the best gaming headset for most people. The wireless headphones are ultra-fast with low latency, but you can also choose to use them wired with a 3.5mm connection. Expect high-quality sound, clear microphone communications, and a comfortable fit. We already like the affordable price, but thanks to Black Friday, these headphones are even more affordable.
This compact little camera is one of the best indoor security cameras on the market. You can place it on a shelf or mount it on the wall, and it has a built-in privacy shutter for added peace of mind. Detailed 1080p footage is stored in the cloud, as long as you pay $8 per month for the Arlo Secure subscription. Other features include a built-in siren, motion detection alerts, and two-way communication.

There are a couple of colors on sale for this price. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is our favorite budget fitness tracker. If you are looking for a simple, elegant model with basic capabilities, this is a good and economical option. It will track steps, sleep, and SpO2 levels, and alert you when someone is calling. It’s a good time to get one if you have some health-related goals on the horizon this January.
The Razer Huntsman Mini is the best small keyboard. The 60-percent layout eliminates the numeric keypad and arrow keys, making it a solid choice for gaming or especially small spaces. We appreciate the fast, responsive keys, and if you want to change the way they look, the keyboard is Razer compatible. key kits.

Beating Black Friday prices by $20, this is a solid deal on the Ninja Creami (6/10, WIRED review), as seen in our gift guide to the best viral TikTok gadgets. If you are interested in making sorbet, ice cream, and ice cream at home, this small appliance will get the job done. A few recipes are included, though you can find tons more online (or on the company’s $17 website). cookbookwhich we strongly believe should be included for free). The Ninja Creami requires some trial and error, but once you get the hang of it, you can whip up your own creations so you have a freezer full of goodness all the time. Just be prepared to give up some counter space.
I have tried the special edition of Green Day sold out of this Keurig, which was sent to me as part of the promotion for the band’s Punk Bunny coffee line that includes beans in bags as well as K cups. While I’m not going to replace my Chemex with it, there’s a lot to be said for its convenience. Fill the water tank once every few days, load a cup and press a button. What separates this device from others in the Keurig line is the ability to brew iced coffee, which comes out significantly colder than regular brewing and will produce a decent iced coffee when poured over ice and sweetened. This blue version is heavily discounted and would make a great gift for someone who doesn’t want to fuss with their coffee and wants plenty of flavor options; Now I mainly use mine to make hot chocolate for my daughter. —Martin Cizmar
This is a complement to the discount we saw last Black Friday. This tilt-head model isn’t the most powerful KitchenAid mixer, but it will still make baking Christmas cookies a breeze and has enough power to knead dough, whip egg whites, and make perfectly silky buttercream. It is for sale in many different fun colors.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim (8/10, WIRED recommended) is our favorite Dyson vacuum for small spaces. This is one of the best prices we’ve seen for this svelte vacuum cleaner, which is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and overall easy to use. There is a single power button and a variety of accessories are included for specific tasks such as stairs or crevices. This vacuum also has a stylish neon green laser that illuminates any dust you might have otherwise missed while cleaning.
I have used many items from The pioneer woman’s line of kitchen utensils and I have always found the products to be beautiful, durable and well made. This would be a great gift for a young adult who is just settling into their first place. The set includes four dinner plates, salad plates and four bowls. Everything is dishwasher and microwave safe.

We recommend this hair dryer as a solid budget option. We like the affordable price, as well as its beautiful, compact and lightweight design. It comes with a concentrator nozzle, although you can purchase one separately. diffuser accessory for little money. If you just need a reliable hair dryer, this is a great option, especially for this price.
This offer is available to new, lapsed, monthly, and trial Walmart+ members. Walmart+ normally costs $98 per year, but right now it’s down to $49 for the first year.

But Walmart+ members get early access to Black Friday deals and other special sales, free grocery delivery, free online shipping with no minimum order, and more. You can learn more here.
This made our list of the best travel strollers the best budget option. It’s a little short, but it’s lightweight, TSA approved, and even comes with a cup holder. It doesn’t have car seat adapters, but for the price, it’s hard to find a more complete travel stroller with so many features. We like the padded seat and the fact that the abdominal bar also doubles as a handle.
