10 Amazon Early Black Friday Tech Deals I’m Excited About

Posted on by

During the holiday season, it’s easy to feel like retailers are vying for your dollars in an even bloodier shopping battle, each aiming to be first out of the gate with the “best” prices of the year—but it’s not all really bargains.

We’re a long way from the days of queuing for night owls , as the Black Friday sale has stretched out almost as long as the shopping season itself (you may have noticed that this year Black Friday has expanded to become “Black Friday Month” Friday”). It’s harder than ever to know whether a sale is truly “worth it” or just hype, but these 10 deals from Amazon’s early Black Friday sale are truly worth checking out. (And of course, the best Black Friday deal is the one you miss because you realize it’s not really worth it just because it’s half off.)

Great price on the 10th generation Apple iPad

The words “sale” and Apple products rarely go together, and Black Friday is usually the only time of year when you can count on significant savings, and right now you can get the 10th generation iPad (from 2022) for $100 off. .

Or, if you prefer Android, the $80 Amazon Fire HD10 tablet.

Amazon’s own products consistently get the biggest discounts, and they knock $60 (more than 40%) off the price of the new Fire HD10, bringing it down to $79.99.

One of Samsung’s sexy The Frame TVs is $500 off.

I’m a budget TV guy (I “upgraded” from a no-name brand 50-inch model this year and bought an open box for under $200). But if you really want a TV with great picture quality that also looks damn good, Samsung’s The Frame Series fits the bill. Right now, you can get the 55-inch model for $500 off.

Toshiba 50″ 4K LED TV (for smart people)

Ah, here’s another one in my wheelhouse. If you don’t have the money for The Frame, the Toshiba Class C350 50-inch series costs $219.99 , which is a $100 discount and its lowest price yet.

The top-of-the-line Garmin Fenix ​​7 Pro Sapphire Solar smartwatch is $200 off.

I asked our resident health guru and fitness tech enthusiast Beth Skwarecki which smartwatch deal was her favorite, and she chose this one—assuming you’re not on a tight budget.

Big discount on working Pixel smartwatches.

Okay, maybe you ‘re on a budget. If you just want a great fitness tracker at a price that won’t send your heart rate through the roof, Beth also recommends the Wi-Fi version of the original Google Pixel, which costs $150 and under $200.

Blink Whole Home Security Package at Lowest Price Ever

I became a homeowner last year, which means I am now very passionate about home security. This got me looking at the Blink Whole Home Kit, which includes the Blink Video Doorbell, Blink Mini Indoor Camera, Blink Outdoor 4, and Sync Module 2 for controlling your security camera hub using your phone. 52% off has never been cheaper.

Nice discount on MacBook Air (M1 or M2)

I have been living without my own laptop for many years, but I understand perfectly well that a work computer is not the same as having a computer. So I’m finally going to buy my MacBook Air M1 because this 2020 computer is the best computer I’ve ever used and it’s currently 25% off, matching previous lows. Or maybe I’ll spend the money on the M2, which is three years newer and currently $150 off? (Probably not, I’m cheap. See above: my TV.)

The correct Apple Pencil (because it’s confusing)

As our tech editor Jake Peterson noted, buying an Apple Pencil can be confusing . Their latest Pencil, the Apple Pencil with USB-C, seems cheap at around $80, but it lacks many of the features of the top-of-the-line Apple Pencil (2nd generation), which typically costs $130. Well, Amazon sells the second-generation Apple Pencil for $89, and it’s worth a $10 premium over the new guy.

Apple Pencil (2nd generation) – $89.00.

A new Peloton is cheaper than a used one

Speaking of Beth, she was also very excited about Amazon’s current deal with Peloton. The Peloton Bike is nearly 25% off, and the top-of-the-line Bike+ is a whopping $500 off. She’s been tracking the prices of these items for ages and swears they’re some real good deals—cheaper than the regular prices on refurbished items, in fact.
