You can find deals on many of our favorite tech devices and gadgets year-round. But Black Friday is typically when we see the biggest discounts on OLED TVs, great productivity laptops, and robovacs that can help you clean up for the holidays — and this year is no exception. Although we’ve seen a wave of price hikes due to US-sanctioned tariffs, we’re also seeing all-time lows on devices like the base AirPods 4, the PlayStation Portal, and the second-gen Sonos Beam.
Our experts have spent weeks vetting supposed discounts and found the deals that are actually worth shopping. If you love saving as much as you do unboxing new tech, well, this is the roundup for you. Below, you’ll find discounts that plunge prices to new depths, stretching your dollar a little bit further this holiday season.
