Black Friday is here. From now until Cyber Monday, you’ll find a ton of discounts from stores and companies. As Lifehacker’s tech editor, I scoured the various tech deals at stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart to find the best deals. Many of them are on the latest generation of devices—I’ve included those that will still be relevant in 2025, especially with these discounts.
Best Laptop Deals on Black Friday
-
M4 MacBook Air (13-inch) : $749 at Amazon (was $999): Without a doubt, my favorite Black Friday laptop deal is the price reduction on the M4 MacBook Air. For $750, you get the latest M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. It’s a fantastic package for anyone who needs a laptop for everyday computing—though those chips may be more powerful than you think. If you need more RAM or storage, Amazon is selling the 512GB model for $949 , and the 512GB RAM and 24GB model for $1,149 .
-
M2 MacBook Air (13-inch) : $649 at Best Buy (was $799): Even with the current price of the M4, the M2 MacBook Air is a great choice, especially with this discount. This MacBook Air looks and feels identical to the M4, and it also comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. However, the M2 processor is two generations behind the M4. Personally, I think the future-proofing you get with the M4 is worth the extra $100, but the M2 MacBook Air is still a powerful machine for its low price.
-
Dell 16 Plus Copilot+ (16-inch) : $999.99 at Best Buy (was $1,599.99) . Despite the Copilot+ name, this Dell 16 Plus laptop is a great value. It features a 16-inch 2.5K display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 3.3GHz Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Best Buy is offering $600 off the price as part of its Black Friday sale.

iPad A16 : $274 on Amazon (was $349) . Apple sells a variety of iPads, but the most affordable model may be enough for most. The tablet features an 11-inch display, an Apple A16 processor, and 128GB of storage. It’s not as powerful as Apple’s iPad M series, and its display can’t compete with the OLED displays of the iPad Pro, but for $280, it’s a great tablet.
-
iPad Pro (11-inch) : $899 at Best Buy (was $999) . If you want Apple’s most powerful and feature-rich iPad, there’s currently a $100 discount on the 11-inch Pro. This model features an Apple M4 processor, 256GB of storage, and an OLED display.

The best deals on headphones and earbuds on Black Friday
-
AirPods Pro 3 : $219.99 on Amazon (was $249) : I wouldn’t have expected it, but Apple’s newest AirPods Pro are actually on sale for Prime Day, and they’re actually on sale. It’s not a huge discount, just a little over $29, but it’s still the lowest price ever for these earbuds.
-
AirPods Pro 2 : $139 at Walmart (was $239) . If you don’t want to spend $220 on Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, the second-generation Pro earbuds are a steal at $139. They still offer excellent sound, noise cancellation, and transparency features, and you save $110 compared to Apple’s latest model.

-
Sony WH-1000XM5 : $248 on Amazon (was $399.99) : If I didn’t have the AirPods Max, these are the headphones I’d buy. The Sony WH-1000XM series is one of the best, and while they’re not as expensive as Apple’s over-ear headphones, they’re still pretty pricey. They’re currently 38% off on Amazon.

How long do Black Friday deals actually last?
Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, and will run throughout Cyber Week—the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. However, the dates of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been pushed back as retailers compete for shoppers. The sales are expected to conclude by December 3, 2025.
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 Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers deals you rarely see the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you’re looking to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
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.
