Best early Black Friday deals
We’re officially back in Black Friday season, folks.
Though Black Friday falls on Nov. 28 this year, retailers are already kicking off sales. Best Buy dropped early deals and doorbusters on Oct. 31, and Target started their first holiday savings event on Nov. 6. Even though retailers like Amazon haven’t kicked off any programming yet (you can expect that to start on Nov. 20,) we’ve spotted plenty of Black Friday-worthy deals that you can shop early to get ahead of your holiday list.
Keep checking back for the best Black Friday deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and beyond.

Why we like it
The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 ahead of Black Friday. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Black Friday or Cyber Monday (and we’re not counting on it), you still score a great deal without all the chaos of Black Friday shopping.

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 1) headphones.
The Bose QC Ultra headphones have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. Even though Bose recently replaced them with a new Gen 2 model, the originals are still an excellent value for your money — especially at the record low price of $299.

Why we like it
While deals on robot vacuums aren’t exactly rare, this is still a good excuse to pick up a Mashable-tested hybrid vacuum that includes self-washing and drying mopping pads. You’ll also get affordable AI obstacle avoidance, self-emptying, and intelligent mapping. Now with an under-$500 price point, this cleaning machine will make holiday hosting a little easier.

Lowest price ever 🔥
Why we like it
“If you’re not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don’t scream “budget” at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which essentially means its uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, an ATSC 1.0 tuner under the hood, and support for HDR in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. It uses the same interface as Amazon’s own Mini LED Fire TV and is equipped with on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it ‘easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we’ve tested.’ At $547.99, the 65-inch Hisense U6 is already down to its best price ever at Amazon ahead of Black Friday.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Best Black Friday fitness tracker deal
Why we like it
Whoop has teased its Black Friday sale, set to start on Nov. 20. When the sale officially begins, we can expect discounts on the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG. However, until then, we’ll settle for a discount on the Whoop 4.0, which comes with the One membership included. It provides deep insights on sleep, strain, recovery and hormonal cycles. An annual membership is usually $199, and includes the Whoop 4.0 device, but ahead of Black Friday it’s down to $149, saving you $50 and 25% off.

Early Black Friday deals from Amazon
Even though Amazon’s Black Friday sale hasn’t officially started (you have to wait until Nov. 20 for that), Amazon devices such as Fire TVs are already marked down in advance of the sale. In addition, you can find plenty of limited-time deals on popular gadgets, power stations, smart home tech, outdoor gear, and Christmas gifts. Amazon is also a great place to stock up on stocking stuffers, as you’ll find an abundance of deals under $25.

The 65-inch TCL QM6K QLED TV has hit its lowest-ever price on Amazon — pay under $500 ahead of Black Friday.
Mashable’s sister site PCMag reviewed this TV, saying “The TCL QM6K is a very good value and a strong performer for the price. While it isn’t the brightest TV available, its mini-LED backlight enables deep black levels for excellent contrast, its colors are wide and accurate, and it’s packed with features for streaming and gaming.” That’s more than enough for us, especially at this record-breaking price.
