Early Black Friday 2024 tech deals — save over 55% on Apple, Nintendo and more

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. $210 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." 

With 4K resolution and HDR 10, this TV delivers a sharp, vibrant picture, no matter which of the 1.5 million available movies or shows you're streaming. And 33% off? Yes, please.

Throw Alexa into the mix, and it's essentially a smart-home hub masquerading as a TV. Plus, with Amazon regularly sending updates, this deal will actually get better and better over time.

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 when it comes to features. This one is four times the size and has active HDR and Alexa built-in. Good times!

Don't let its release date fool you — though this iPad first burst onto the scene in 2021, it's still one of the best tablets on the market, ideal for everything from working to playing. At nearly 40% off, it's at its lowest price ever.

"The battery life is great for note-taking," one reviewer wrote. "It's super light to carry around and the space gray color I chose is so sleek and classy. It took me about five minutes to set it up."

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."

If traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine, the smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. It's only 8.3 inches wide, and it's compact enough to hold with just one hand. Grab it for just a few bucks above the lowest price it's been all year. 

"I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this. The mini is so cute and it fits in my medium-size purse. There's nothing it can't do that the newer or bigger ones can't. Easy to travel with. Easy to use and high performance," wrote one fan.

If a sleek design is at the top of your tablet wish list, the latest iPad Air is the perfect fit. Equipped with Apple's powerful M2 chip, it offers all-day battery life, a stunning 12-megapixel camera and a liquid retina display that makes movies and TV shows pop. And now's the time to pounce: It's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

"The screen resolution is really beautiful," wrote one impressed shopper. "It's lighter in weight than my old one and a little thinner. The camera takes gorgeous pictures."

This is a feather-light machine that's easy to take on the go. At nearly 30% off, it's one heck of a bargain — especially since it's closing in on the lowest price we've ever seen. 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, our tech editor Rick Broida named it one of the best laptops of 2024. He said, "This machine should handle most mainstream computing tasks with no trouble." 

Another reliable, versatile option, albeit one with impressive speed and storage capacity. The Full HD touchscreen delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, making it great for photo and video editing or streaming content.

With 16GB of RAM an Intel Core i5 processor on the job, you can run demanding applications and switch between tasks smoothly. The 1TB SSD offers ample storage and fast data access, minimizing downtime. Plus, features like a built-in webcam and HDMI connectivity make it ideal for work-from-home setups and on-the-go productivity. 

If you're in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won't break the bank, the HP Victus is a midrange machine that 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.

With 8GB 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.

This unit is incredibly thin and light, so it's great for anyone on the go. It has a lot of power despite its small size, and the discount is nothing to sneeze at, either — especially for a MacBook. 

"I am in love with this laptop," said one reviewer. "[It's] a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. ... The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. ... Would recommend completely!"

If you’re looking for a deal on a powerful gaming laptop, then this ASUS ROG 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.

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.

Say it with me, Tim Allen-style: "More power!" If you need a laptop that can stand up to the rigors of a heavy workload, this '23 model is an excellent option. Loaded with powerful components that can handle anything you throw at it, this is a powerhouse for those with a lot to do who need a computer that can keep up.

This 10% discount might not seem like much, but $200+ is nothing to sneeze at. Between the large amount of storage and blazing-fast RAM, you're getting lots of bang for your buck with this Black Friday tech deal.

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 $500 off MSRP, leaving you with plenty of cash for any extra gear you might need.

Don’t have a smart TV? No problem. For $18 this Fire TV Stick will give you access to thousands of apps and over 1.5 million movies and TV shows.

Are your apps eating up more space than your Fire TV Stick can handle? The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is your fix. With its quad-core processor, you can even play Xbox games like Forza Motorsport, Starfield and Palworld — no console needed.

Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet features a sleek design and all the essentials you'd expect, including an 8-inch HD display and a solid 13-hour battery life. Whether you're binge-watching shows or scrolling through your favorite apps, this tablet keeps up with your on-the-go lifestyle — all for under $60.

Newer, faster and significantly upgraded from the previous version, the Fire HD 10 is a tablet worth checking out — especially at $95 off its already affordable price.

Amazon's most powerful tablet packs in an 11-inch, 1200x2000 resolution screen, up to 128GB of storage and a solid 14-hour battery life. The 8-megapixel camera makes Zoom calls crisp, and whether you're streaming, browsing or reading, this device handles it all, both at home and on the move. 

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. 

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. 

The original Nintendo Switch console is a bit pricey even when it's on sale. If you want to experience the system without breaking the bank, nab this smaller version on sale for well under $200. The controllers aren't removable on this version, but the gaming experience is very similar to its older sibling's.

Though this isn't the lowest the Switch Lite has been all year, it's still more affordable than its longest-running historical sale price of $191. Snag it now before the price reverts.

"The coolest handheld gaming system ever," one impressed shopper wrote. "If you like Mario games, look no further than here. Plus, the extra storage you can buy is perfect for plane rides — no switching game cards."

Speaking of extra storage, if you prefer downloading your games digitally instead of buying and storing physical ones, do yourself a favor and invest in a microSD card. With this deal, you get a pair, each with a generous amount of extra storage. You'll avoid that "low storage" notification thanks to these little green guys.

"Got this for extra Switch space and it immediately recognized it," one fan wrote. "No corruption on any files or issues whatsoever."

Here's another Black Friday Nintendo deals favorite that over 20,000 shoppers gave a perfect five-star rating. This is one of those iconic adventure game staples that you must add to your collection. It's lighthearted, calming and easy to play on a day when you just need to unwind, but don't want to concentrate too intensely. The best way I can describe this game is "slow and steady."

In terms of price history, this one's fluctuated a bit over the past few months, but has remained steady at this price for a while.

"Do you like playing video games where you are rewarded for exploring, experimenting and being creative?" one gamer wrote. "I can think of no better game to get than Tears of the Kingdom — few [are] as good."

It goes without saying that Super Mario games are some of Nintendo's most popular, so finding this one on sale is pretty rare since the demand is so high. If you're a fan of the bold colors, vibrancy and adventure motifs in the Super Mario franchise, this game is sure to be your next obsession.

"Best 2D Mario game of all time," one reviewer wrote. "It's so creative and flourishing with life and emotion. A beautiful game, putting an end to the endless streak of the 'new' Super Mario Bros. games."
