Black Friday 2024 tech deals: Apple, PlayStation, Bose and more have savings up to 70%

If you love all things Apple, these are the earbuds you want. The AirPods Pro 2 take everything great about the originals and add improved sound quality, active noise cancellation and a more comfortable fit. They're perfect for staying immersed in music or taking calls on the go, with a battery that gives you up to six hours of listening time per charge — and up to 30 hours with the charging case. 

Plus, they're dust, sweat, and water resistant, so no worries about getting caught in a downpour during your morning run. Seamless connection with all your Apple devices makes switching between your iPhone, iPad and Mac a breeze. For Apple fans, they're a must-have upgrade.

Yahoo Senior Tech Editor Rick Broida dubbed this iPad the best overall tablet of 2024, so if you're looking for the cream of the crop, grab it now while it's on sale. It comes with a one-year warranty, boasts up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and has a 10.9-inch screen and 64GB storage.

"[It] seamlessly pairs with the rest of my Apple devices," one impressed shopper wrote. "Build quality is great as all Apple devices are. ... Charges via USB-C and includes a nice braided charger. Screen is great, speakers are clear and battery is long-lasting."

Get it at a rare discount or forever hold your peace — this PS5 lets you download games right to the console.

The Google Nest Thermostat is one of the finest examples of smart-home tech out there, helping you keep your home comfortable without sending utility bills through the roof. While we've seen it dip lower than this before, it's not likely to do so this year. If you've been waiting on a chance to snatch one of these up for yourself, go for it. 

From the sounds-too-good-to-be-true files, Sansui's new budget OLED is even more affordable for Black Friday. Come for the vibrant color, stay for the karaoke mode!

These widely compatible smart plugs work with almost all smart-home services outside of HomeKit (and even that can be configured through IFTTT), but the true selling point is the fact that you get four for just $20. That's less than $5 per plug — an absolute steal with how useful these little gadgets actually are. 

Want to get the most out of your iPad? It's all about the accessories. This Apple Pencil turns a great tablet into your own personal art studio, especially when you couple it with a photo-editing app like Lightroom or, my favorite app, ProCreate, which is far and away the most powerful app you can get for $13 once you couple it with this pencil.

Amazon might be sold out of the 64GB base model of our favorite under-$200 iPad, but you can still get it with 256GB of storage for a bit more (and still a record-low price). This one's perfect if you're the type of person who never deletes a single photo.

This new generation of the compact tablet features Apple Intelligence, an A17 Pro chip and 128GB memory, double the usual base standard.

With 16GB of RAM, a lightning-fast 256GB solid-state drive and a backlit keyboard, this laptop is a solid pick for anyone, from students to freelancers.

If you’ve been eyeing the MacBook Air but want a bit more screen to work with, the 15-inch model might just be your sweet spot. It takes everything you love about the 13-inch version and supersizes it, giving you more room to get things done, making multitasking, streaming and even photo editing way more engaging. And thanks to an upgraded six-speaker system with force-canceling woofers, the sound quality gets a nice bump, too.

Even with the extra screen real estate, the 15-inch Air keeps that trademark slim, lightweight feel. Not surprisingly, its battery life is longer than the 13-inch's, and the price jump is pretty reasonable, considering what you’re getting in return.

I know what you're thinking: "2021 is so three years ago." And while that may be true, this Pro packs more than enough punch to handle your photo and video edits, plus all your gaming needs in 2024. Even better? It’s discounted by over $1,000, leaving you with plenty of cash for any extra gear you might need.

This is a feather-light machine that's easy to take on the go. As with the above unit, almost all of your work will take place in the cloud. If you need to do anything on the laptop itself, we suggest an external drive. With only 32GB of memory, you won't have a lot of space for file storage. 

Multiple reviewers have said this little computer is perfect for students and younger children, and plenty of others said they use it as a home computer. Most of all, they love that it's "inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to use." 

Although not technically a Chromebook, this laptop is closer to one than it is to a fully featured computer. With its low RAM and limited storage, most of your tasks will be performed in the cloud. The most appealing part? This is an all-time low price for this laptop. 

Fans have praised a lot about this machine, from its clear display to the ease of use. Others, while noting that the speakers are great for listening to music or watching content, stress that it's definitely not a gaming laptop. 

This midrange option sports several appealing features, which are all the more appealing given its $280 price tag. While we have seen it go lower, this is still a great deal. It's got enough storage and RAM for basic use and, though its 128GB of storage suggests a flash drive might be a wise additional purchase, it's still a terrific choice for a student or someone who wants a laptop for day-to-day use.

In fact, Broida named it one of the best laptops of 2024. He said, "This machine should handle most mainstream computing tasks with no trouble." 

If you're in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won't break the bank, the HP Victus can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatch, and it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once. 

Gaming laptops are notoriously expensive (and also pretty niche), but this one strikes a fine balance between price and performance.

If you’re looking for a deal on a powerful gaming laptop, then the Strix G16 is a great option. Featuring a full-size keyboard and 16-inch FHD display featuring a 165Hz refresh rate, it delivers smooth visuals and a responsive experience, perfect for fast-paced games. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card ensures stunning visuals, while the Intel Core i7-13650HX processor provides the muscle needed for demanding tasks. Equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, it offers fast load times and plenty of storage.

A bite-sized screen for a bite-sized price. Seriously: When was the last time you saw a TV at such a ridiculously low price? Tuck it into a spare bedroom, mount it out on the porch, even set it on the counter in the garage. If you like to wander, it makes an excellent choice for an RV. 

Don't let the low price fool you, either. Fans love it: "Excellent picture and sound quality. The picture is so bright and clear."

How do we love this set? Let us count the ways: 4K resolution. Access to upwards of 1 million movies and TV episodes via the streaming world's heavy hitters. Upscaling capability. 50-inch screen. $170 price tag. Oh, and 10,000+ of these have been sold in the past month. 

Take it from this fan: "Hands down best TV I've purchased in the last decade." 

Our tech expert Rick Broida considers this the best soundbar for most people, and the reason is easy to see (hear): the Hisense AX5125H brings Dolby Atmos-enhanced audio to your living room for less.

Thanks to this set's quantum dot display, HDR content practically leaps (get it — Quantum Leap?) off the screen. Whether you're watching a late-night movie or catching a game in a bright living room, the QLED delivers razor-sharp contrast in any lighting.

PS: When you're not using it, Ambient Experience tech turns your TV into a display for artwork or personal photos.

Proof that we live in a golden age of electronics pricing. Ten years ago I paid this much for my first 4K TV, a 43-inch model that didn't offer much in the way of features. This one is four times the size and has active HDR and Alexa built-in. Good times!

Need a 4K TV that has the very best that image quality can offer, but don’t have room for a 50+-inch behemoth? This Samsung 48-inch UHD TV delivers vibrant colors and sharp detail thanks to its OLED technology, HDR+ and 4K Upscaling, making it perfect for small spaces without compromising on picture quality. Plus, with Motion Xcelerator technology, you’ll enjoy smooth, clear visuals, whether you’re streaming movies, watching sports or gaming.

Think all QLED is the same? Think again. Samsung's Mini-LED tech, featured in its Neo QLED models, takes backlighting to the next level. Unlike standard QLED, Mini-LEDs deliver precise control over brightness zones, which means you get sharper contrast and deeper black levels. This setup lets you enjoy vibrant colors and impressive detail, even in darker scenes. If you're after a TV that can handle both bright and dimly lit rooms with ease, Neo QLED's Mini-LED is the way to go.

Craving more screen real estate? You're in luck! This 98-inch version is now at its lowest price ever. At over 7 feet wide and 4 feet tall, it delivers an immersive viewing experience that'll make you feel like you’re right on the field. Talk about taking game day to the next level!

Want to show off your artwork or vacation photos like never before? Don't care if your TV is the first thing people notice when they walk into the room? The 75-inch is ideal for dedicated home theaters or open floor plans. This size provides an immersive 4K display that's as big on impact as it is on aesthetics.

These Baseus earbuds deliver excellent noise cancellation — perfect for keeping you focused, whether you're on a plane or at the office. They're small and lightweight, making them comfortable for extended use. Plus, with up to 140 hours of total battery life (with the case) — and quick charging that gives you an hour of playtime from just a three-minute charge — these earbuds are a steal right now. 

There's a reason Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida named them the best budget wireless earbuds out there. They're just that good.

Sick of charging your Apple Watch every. single. day?

If you're into running, walking, hiking, or biking, it might be time to consider a switch to the dark side. As a longtime Garmin user, I can tell you it's been a game-changer for tracking sleep, steps and workouts — even those that take place in the pool.

The Forerunner 265 stands out with a massive 13 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (yes, Garmin measures battery life in days, not hours). It greets you each morning with a detailed sleep report and even calculates a training readiness score based on your sleep, recovery and recent workout intensity. This way, you’ll know exactly how hard you can push to hit your goals.

If you've been eyeing an Apple Watch but need to stick to a budget, this deal is tailor-made for you. The 2023-released SE packs everything you need — from heart rate and step tracking to crash detection — and it's now at its most affordable price yet.

"The durability is outstanding," said one five-star reviewer. "I was a bit careless and forgot the watch in my pants when I was doing laundry. Luckily, after a 40-minute wash and a 50-minute dry on high heat, the watch worked perfectly fine."

This souped-up smartwatch is as rugged as it is stylish, featuring a sleek black titanium case that pairs with your choice of colored loop bands for a more personalized look. Its larger, oversized face not only makes it easier to read at a glance but also sets it apart from standard Apple Watches. Another thing that sets it apart? Battery life. Get up to 36 hours of normal use or you can double that when in low-battery mode. Beyond its sharp design, this watch pulls double duty as a fitness tracker and GPS while also offering all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a premium smartwatch — and then some.

"Not only is this thing a beast with battery life, [but] I am finding more features that I didn't even know it had," one shopper wrote.
