For even more discounts, check out our Best Early Black Friday Deals roundup along with our entire deals coverage.
Updated November 26: We’ve added a Satechi dual dock stand, an iPad, and the Alienware Aurora gaming desktop.
The Latest MacBook Pro
The M5 MacBook Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is only a month old and already on sale. It’s the first Mac to get the latest M5 chip, which boosts performance significantly across the board. In my tests, I noticed marked improvements in GPU, CPU, and the Neural Engine for AI tasks. The GPU saw the most significant enhancement, making it quicker for gaming and creative applications. Otherwise, it’s the same MacBook Pro you know and love, with its bright mini-LED screen, great speakers, and extra ports compared to the MacBook Air. This base 14-inch model may not offer the same value as the MacBook Air or the powerhouse performance of the M4 Pro and M4 Max models, but if you want the latest Apple Silicon in one of the best laptops out there, this deal on the M5 MacBook Pro is a win.
The Best Bluetooth Speaker
The JBL Flip 7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a Bluetooth speaker that checks all the boxes. A/V reviewer Ryan Waniata says, “JBL’s Flip strikes the perfect balance between portability and sound quality, delivering clear details with plenty of punch.” He also praises its durability, which is key for outdoor use. With various colors to fit your style and up to 16 hours of battery life, its increased water resistance means you can take the party anywhere. Simply put, it’s the best Bluetooth speaker you can buy at a great price.
Our Favorite Dyson Vacuum
If you want a cordless Dyson vacuum, the prices can be steep. However, at $300 off, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen on the V15 Detect. Our vacuum expert, Nena Farrell, found it impressive at picking up dust and dirt from both carpets and hard floors. The V15 Detect even includes a sensor that counts dust particles. While this might be excessive for the average user, it’s a handy feature for those with severe allergies—or friends and family who do.
The Best TV Deal Right Now
If you’re in the market for a TV under $1,000, the TCL QM6K QLED (8/10, WIRED Recommends) should be on your radar. It features a 4K mini-LED screen and delivers a versatile performance, providing natural colors, deep blacks, and impressive clarity. While it isn’t the brightest TV on the market, it does offer a 144-Hz refresh rate for gaming and a smart Google TV interface for all your streaming needs. It’s available in sizes from 55 to 98 inches, with the popular 65-inch model starting at $500.
The Best MagSafe Power Bank
This Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2) is our favorite for maximizing wireless charging on your iPhone. With a 10,000-mAh battery, it can fully charge your iPhone nearly twice. It also works with Android phones thanks to its Qi2 compatibility. Features like a built-in kickstand and an LED light displaying battery life make it user-friendly. It’s $35 off for Black Friday, making it the best price yet.
A Brilliant USB-C Hub
Enhance your remote work setup with a quality USB hub or laptop docking station. Many laptops lack enough ports for multiple high-resolution monitors, but the plug-and-play Satechi Dual Dock Stand makes connecting all your USB-C peripherals a breeze. It elevates your laptop with its wedge design and features built-in storage for an M.2 SSD, which is a handy addition. Now priced at $105, this is a great deal for Black Friday.
The Best Windows Laptop Deal
This laptop just dropped from $1,000 to $550—a 45 percent discount! While I wouldn’t call it worth $1,000, it’s an absolute steal at this price. The Zenbook A14 is lightweight at just 2.16 pounds, making it perfect for travel. Unlike other ultra-light laptops, it boasts excellent battery life, performance, and an OLED screen, a typical feature of Asus laptops.
A Cheaper, Better iPad
This is a fantastic deal for the base iPad. With the iPadOS 26 update, it’s now more useful than ever, offering a more accurate cursor and resizable windows. The new multitasking capabilities let you open multiple windows side by side, a huge improvement over its previous versions. Pair it with a wireless mouse and keyboard, and you have a viable laptop alternative.
The Best Phone Under $300
The Moto G Stylus 5G may not be the world’s best phone, but our tech editor, Julian Chokkattu, hails it as the best Moto G option. With a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and a 120-Hz refresh rate, it offers impressive features at a budget price. It also includes a built-in stylus and a headphone jack—uncommon perks for a phone in this price range, especially ahead of its pre-Black Friday discount.
The Perfect Travel Partner
These earbuds have been favorites for a couple of years and still rank among the best available. Sony’s fifth generation of high-end wireless earbuds is about 25 percent smaller and 20 percent lighter than previous models, offering up to 36 hours of listening with the case’s extra two charges. The noise cancellation is top-notch, and our A/V experts highlight the XM5’s advanced EQ, touch controls, and impressive adaptive noise canceling. They’re $100 off retail, making this the best time to buy.
An Incredible OLED Gaming Monitor
The Samsung Odyssey G6 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a stunning 27-inch OLED gaming monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a 360-Hz refresh rate. Whether you need high frame rates for competitive gaming or crisp graphics for single-player games, it delivers. You can even drop the resolution to 1080p for maximum performance in competitive settings. Price-wise, it’s $250 off for Black Friday, now sitting at $650.
A Dirt-Cheap Chromebook
This affordable Chromebook comes with some compromises, but for the budget-conscious, it’s a solid pick. Featuring 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, it has plenty of ports and decent performance. However, the touchpad and display fall short, lacking brightness and color accuracy. Still, for under $300, the CX14 gets the job done, making it a good choice for students or first-time laptop buyers.
An Excellent Prebuilt Gaming Desktop
With rising RAM prices, a prebuilt gaming desktop is increasingly appealing. The Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop is down to $1,225 and comes equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti, Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, 32 GB of memory, and 1 TB of storage. This price undercuts Dell’s own offer for this configuration. However, beware of its 500-watt power supply, which may limit future GPU upgrades. I recommend considering a model with a 1,000-watt supply, like the RTX 5070, and checking prices on Dell.com for competitive offers.
A Gaming Mouse
If you’re into MMOs, this Corsair gaming mouse offers tons of customization options. With 12 programmable side buttons and a high 33,000-dpi optical sensor, it provides low input lag and high responsiveness. You can connect it using a 2.4-GHz dongle instead of Bluetooth for even better performance.
