Black Friday night brings epic tech deals, from Apple to Sony. (Photos: Amazon)
Happy Black Friday! The turkey may be leftover, but the tech deals are fresh! Walmart and Amazon both launched major new deals today; you'll want to snap some up before they disappear. Retailers are likely offering the lowest prices of 2022 on Apple products for Black Friday. If you've been holding off on a TV purchase, now's the moment to take the plunge: The stunning Samsung Frame TV is $400 off. You can save 50% on both the Fire HD 10 tablet and this Asus Chromebook (just $126!), an Amazon No. 1 bestseller. Need gifts? These iconic Sony wireless headphones are down to $68 (from $150). Remember, lots of shoppers will be competing for the best deals, so scroll and click pronto!
Tech deals are some of the best ones to grab ahead of Cyber Monday since they are likely to sell out over the weekend. The headline-making deals that get a ton of hype sell out quickly, explains Kristin McGrath, shopping expert with RetailMeNot. So you better get a move on!
"Games look great: So far I’ve played Warzone, Skyrim and A plague tale. Movies are great too," said one customer. "I went with this purchase based mostly off the incredibly in-depth reviews...and the science that apparently lends itself really well to being highly burn-in resistant. Looking forward to many years of quality service..."
Black Friday's your chance to step up your audio game big-time — we're seeing some of the year's best prices right now (hello, over 50% off super-popular noise-canceling Sony headphones). Amazon is chock-full of awesome deals, but also check out Walmart and Best Buy.
A happy shopper reported: "I always keep them on my desk for easy access and use. They really cancel surrounding noise so I can hear clear when I am listening to music or talking to someone."
"I LOVE these headphones. The sound is crisp, bass is amazing. Further than that I love how convenient these are," one five-star fan said. "Pairing was so easy and I never had to do it again. When I'm ready to listen to music they automatically connect with my phone when they come out of the case! That still blows my mind."
Prime Day is something of a dress rehearsal for Black Friday, and the laptop discounts seen there point to some truly outstanding deals right now. Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst at DealNews.com calls laptops "one of the quintessential Black Friday items."
Amazon is moving forward even more aggressively than usual in the smart home space with dozens of deals on Echo, Ring and Blink devices, and other companies are joining in the fun.
"The Echo Show is a great product for use in the kitchen or really any room in the house or office. You can set it up to have your pictures scroll across the screen like a digital photo frame. It connects to the Ring doorbell so you can see who is at your door before going to the door or taking out your phone. It’s great for setting timers or finding recipes." one customer said.
Right now is a fantastic time to stock up on video games, especially since there are few notable titles releasing between now and February. It's also a great opportunity to get your hands on a new game console — the sales are impressive (Best Buy has the Xbox for $50 off).
"If you are looking for next gen gaming on a budget, look no further! Whisper quiet operation, 1080p up to 4k 60FPS, and easy operation. I have had no issues with this console in my first few weeks of use. Do not mistake this console for a second-rate experience. This small console is a monster of a gaming experience!" said one gamer.
