Black Friday is no longer a one-day sale: now impressive discounts on tech like headphones, e-readers, and speakers last all week. If you’re looking for a budget option, earlier this week I talked about Black Friday tech deals up to $25 and even up to $50 . If your budget is a little higher, here are the best deals on tech under $100.
Aosu CCTV Camera
After my house was broken into, I was looking for a great solar-powered camera that didn’t require a subscription. The best one I found was the Aosu Solar Camera , and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-setup and reliable 360-degree camera. It’s available for $56.99 (original price: $79.99)—impressive value for the money.
SwitchBot Lock Pro Smart Locks
I’ve tested nearly every smart lock on the market and can’t recommend the SwitchBot Lock Pro enough, as you can read in my review . It’s reliable, simple, and packed with useful features. It’s also incredibly renter-friendly, so installation is a breeze. You can purchase the smart lock alone for $58.79 (original price: $119.99), but if you want everything you need for remote control, get the bundle , which is also on sale.
Google Nest Thermostats
In my home, I use a Google Nest thermostat , which looks great and works reliably. The Google app lets you control the HVAC system remotely and set up automatic modes. It’s currently on sale for $89.99 (original price: $129.99).
Google TV and Roku streaming boxes
Another great Google product I recommend is the Google TV Streamer 4K , which is now $74.99 (originally $99.99). I’ve been using it since the first generation came out. I really like it because it makes it easy to stream from your phone to any TV or projector (both Android and iOS). This model is compatible with 4K resolution. If you’re looking for a Roku alternative, your best bet is the Roku Ultra for $68.99 (originally $99.99), which is currently on sale.
Portable speaker UE
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is just $59.99 (original price: $99.99) and is a great portable speaker with modern features. It’s waterproof and dustproof, floats on water, boasts powerful bass, and, thanks to its design, delivers 360-degree surround sound.
Amazon Fire tablets
If you’re looking for a budget tablet under $100, look no further than the Amazon Fire HD 10 , which is now just $69.99 (originally $139.99). Any other tablet will likely be a disappointment, but the Fire HD 10 has been a solid budget option since its release in 2023.
Apple AirPods
The cheapest AirPods (without active noise cancellation) are just $69 (originally $129), following a record low price. This is the fourth-generation model with the H2 chip and 30 hours of battery life. You can also get the version with active noise cancellation for a record low price of $99 (originally $179).
Apple AirTags
Never lose your purse or suitcase again. If you’re an Apple user and don’t have AirTags yet, now’s the time to get one: a set of four is now $64.99 (originally $99).
Cloud Gaming Package
Cloud gaming is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to buying a console—and nothing epitomizes that better than this Xbox controller and Fire TV Stick bundle with a one-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription, now priced at $89.97 (originally $139.97). That’s right, you can play Xbox games on any HDMI-equipped screen without buying a console. Pretty cool.
Kindle e-book 2024
The 2024 Amazon Kindle base model is one of the most affordable e-readers available today . The 16GB Kindle model with lock screen ads is currently available for $79.99 (previously $109.99). The model without lock screen ads is also discounted to $99.99 (previously $129.99). This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen for a base Kindle model.
Does Amazon have Black Friday deals?
Yes, Amazon does have Black Friday sales, but the prices aren’t always accurate. Use a price tracker to make sure you’re getting the best deal, or consult guides like our price-tracking blog . And if you have an Amazon Prime subscription, make the most of it .
Which stores have the biggest discounts on Black Friday?
With both large retailers and small businesses competing for Black Friday shoppers, you can expect sales at virtually every store until Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” discounts depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to be offered by large retailers that can afford lower prices, such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our blog .
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to favor large retailers and higher-end appliances, while Cyber Monday favored cheaper appliances and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. However, today, this distinction has become virtually meaningless. Every major retailer runs sales on both days, so it’s best to know what you need, use price trackers, or consult guides like our blog , which uses price trackers, and not worry about finding the perfect time.
