The best Black Friday deals you can still get today

Just because it’s Saturday doesn’t mean the deluge of deals on laptops, headphones, and other Verge-approved gadgets is letting up.

Black Friday, the actual day on the calendar, may have come and gone, but since the deals started days and weeks in advance, you may find it unsurprising that most of them are still with us today. Sure, the shift of Black Friday from a singular day of discounts to a general vibe of seasonal savings makes the event stand out less than it did years ago, but at least we get more time to make our purchasing decisions.

And boy are there decisions to be made, as the majority of deals we covered on smart home accessories, TVs, laptops, headphones, and wearables are still around. Many of the leftover deals have reached or matched their all-time low, so if you’re in the market for something, now might be the time to spring for it. It also remains a great time to get most of your holiday shopping done, especially if you want your dollar to go as far as possible.

If you don’t even know where to begin with your holiday gift-giving, be sure to check out our gift guides for a little inspiration. Many of the items found in our guides are on sale right now, and you’ll likely find some in the mix below. What you’ll also find below is a myriad of tech and gadget deals that span the scope of The Verge’s coverage — from robot vacuums to video games. As usual, we’ve organized it by category to make better sense of it. We’ll keep updating our various roundups throughout the sales-laden weekend, so feel free to let us know in the comments what you’re still shopping for and if you have any recommendations yourself. Happy deals-ing!

Featured deals

The best Apple deals

• You can buy the last-gen iPad with Wi-Fi and 64GB of storage for its all-time low of $199.99 ($129 off) at Best Buy and Target. The 2021 tablet features a smaller 10.2-inch screen than the newer model, a slower A13 Bionic chip, and a Lightning charging port. However, it’s still snappy enough for streaming, browsing the web, sending emails, and performing other typical tablet tasks, making it great for kids or anybody looking for an affordable tablet. It even features a 3.5mm headphone jack — a welcome rarity.
• If you want the latest and greatest, the new iPad Mini is available at Amazon or at Best Buy for $469 ($30 off). Apple’s 8.3-inch tablet is pretty similar to the outgoing model from 2021, only it features faster Wi-Fi speeds and support for the newer Apple Pencil Pro. It also leverages the new Apple A17 Pro chip, which allows for various AI-based Apple Intelligence features. Read our review.
• The latest 11-inch iPad Pro with M4 processor, 256GB of storage, and that lovely OLED display is $849 ($150 off) at Amazon when you click the on-page coupon. And if you prefer the larger model, the 12.9-inch M4 iPad Pro is $1,099 ($200 off) at Amazon. The latest round of iPad Pros are incredibly thin and sleek, making them easier to hold during note-taking, drawing, or if you’re using one as a laptop replacement with added accessories. Of course, they don’t do much more than previous generations, but they certainly look great doing it. Read our review.
• Verizon is offering up to $1,000 off an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max and up to $830 off an iPhone 16 when you trade in any phone in any condition, provided you’re signed on to a “select Unlimited plan.” AT&T is also offering $1,000 off the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max or $830 off an iPhone 16 with trade-in. You can get the same Verizon and AT&T deals through Best Buy, in which case you’ll get a $100 Best Buy gift card with your purchase.

• If you want a larger laptop from Apple, the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with base 256GB storage and 16GB of RAM is going for $1,044 ($255 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. That’s matching the lowest price we’ve seen for Apple’s larger Air, which sports an excellent display and a couple of extra speakers over the 13-inch model that sound great.
• The M4-powered iMac is on sale starting at $1,149 ($150 off) at Amazon with an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU M4 chip, 16GB of memory, and 256GB of storage when you clip the onpage coupon. It’s a shame the base model only comes with four ports, but otherwise, the iMac is a good desktop computer that offers minor upgrades over its predecessor, including faster performance and a better 12MP webcam with support for Apple’s Center Stage feature. And of course, the 24-inch display continues to come in a number of fun colors. Read our review.
• You can buy Apple’s official iPhone 16 Clear Case with MagSafe from Amazon starting at $37 ($12 off), which is its best price yet. Apple designed the polycarbonate case so that it works well with the iPhone 16’s new Camera Control button. The company also added a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” likely after many complained about how last year’s FineWoven cases scratched easily.
• If you prefer to buy first-party, now through December 2nd, Apple is hosting its own rare sales event. You can get up to $200 on select MacBook Airs, while certain iPads will net you $100 in credit. Apple will also give you anywhere between $25–$75 in credit when you purchase select iPhones, AirPods, styli, streaming devices, and more.

The best wireless earbuds and headphone deals

• Jabra may have stopped selling consumer earbuds, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t discounts available on the existing models. Right now, for instance, you can purchase the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 for an all-time low of $199.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. In addition to noise cancellation, the semi-open Elite 10 come with an LE Audio charging case, which lets you wirelessly transmit audio from an external device. They also feature physical buttons and support other essentials, including multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
• You can also pick up Jabra’s Elite 8 Active Gen 2 for $169.99 ($60 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is one of the better prices we’ve seen. The fitness-focused earbuds offer a robust IP68 water resistance rating that can withstand sweaty workouts, along with a secure fit and adaptive ANC. They also support multipoint pairing and wireless charging, and like the Elite 10, come with an LE Audio charging case.

• The Nothing Ear (a) are on sale for $69 ($30 off) directly from Nothing and at Amazon, if you’re a Prime member. The noise-canceling earbuds are our favorite pair for under $100, with surprisingly good sound for the price. They also offer an impressive feature set that includes multipoint Bluetooth pairing, a decent IP54 dust and water resistance rating, and even a low-latency mode for gaming. Read our hands-on impressions.

• The WH-1000XM4, Sony’s last-gen flagship headphones, are on sale starting at $198 ($152 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That’s not the shockingly low $130 they dropped to earlier this year, but it’s still a great price for a pair of cans that offer some of the best sound quality and noise cancellation performance around. They offer 30 hours of battery life, a foldable design, and flexible ambient audio modes, including a speak-to-chat feature that reduces volume while you’re talking. Read our review.

• You can also buy Amazon’s newer Echo Buds for just $24.99 ($25 off) at Amazon. The wireless earbuds lack noise cancellation, but they support multipoint pairing and integrate well with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. They also feature a semi-open design that makes it easier to hear your surroundings.

The best speaker and smart display deals

• The Sonos Roam 2 is available for $139 ($40 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos. The compact smart speaker is far easier to set up than the prior model, thanks to a dedicated Bluetooth button, meaning you can start listening to tunes without first setting it up in the Sonos app. It also lasts 10 hours per charge and features support for both AirPlay 2 and Amazon Alexa, not to mention an IP67 rating for dust and water protection. You can even sync it with other Sonos speakers like most other Sonos products.
• If you want a portable Sonos speaker with bigger sound and substantially longer battery life, the Sonos Move 2 is on sale for $359 ($90 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos’ online storefront. It packs multiple speakers for stereo sound, and it supports USB-C line-in in addition to the usual wireless streaming options. It’s not exactly small or light (it’s chunky at 6.61 pounds), but the Move 2 can be ideal if you want a single Sonos device to enjoy outdoors or move from room to room in your home Read our review.

• If you want a smart alarm clock with a great display and zero mics / cameras, the latest Echo Spot is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for $44.99 ($60 off), matching its lowest price to date. The 2.83-inch touchscreen can’t display videos or double as a digital photo frame, but it can tell you the weather when you wake up and allows you to control various smart home devices via Alexa. Read our review.

• The Echo Show 8 (third-gen), the latest version of Amazon’s midsize smart display, is down to $79.99 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. You can also buy it with an Amazon Basics Smart Color Bulb for the same price at Amazon in black and white. The eight-inch device looks a lot like previous models, but it’s got widget support for added versatility, a more responsive touchscreen, and nice-sounding speakers. Just don’t expect to take any Zoom meetings on it, as only Alexa video calls are currently supported. Read our review.

The best tablet deals

• If you’re looking for a basic tablet for under $100, Amazon is also discounting many of the cheaper models. The latest Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy with ads and 32GB of storage starting at $54.99 ($45 off), an all-time low. The 8-inch Fire HD 8 is a decent entertainment device for playing games, streaming, and other basic tasks, even if it’s not anywhere near as capable as the higher-end alternatives from Apple and Google.
• The latest Fire HD 10 is down to its all-time low of $74.99 ($65 off) with ads and 32GB of storage at Amazon and Best Buy. The Fire HD 10 offers a sharper 1080p display than the Fire HD 8, along with support for both the Made for Amazon Stylus Pen and Amazon’s handwriting recognition technology.

The best e-reader deals

• You can get Amazon’s newest Kindle with lockscreen ads for $84.99 ($25 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, or without lockscreen ads at Amazon for $104.99 ($25 off). The 2024 ebook reader is more of an iterative update compared to previous models, with a backlight that’s 25 percent brighter. It’s also a touch lighter, a bit faster, and lasts a bit longer (up to eight weeks).

The best laptop and desktop deals

• Microsoft’s base version of its 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 is on sale for $899.99 ($300 off) at Best Buy with a Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The Arm-based laptop offers excellent MacBook Air-like battery life that easily lasts through a day of work. It performs well, though Windows on Arm does have some compatibility issues with some games and software — so be sure what you need to work is supported.
• The Dell XPS 13 is down to its all-time low of $999.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy with a Snapdragon X Elite chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This particular model is especially worth it since it’s the configuration with a lovely 13.4-inch OLED touchscreen — and 2560 x 1600 resolution — in a very portable package that offers great battery life and value.

• The much cheaper 2024 Asus ROG Strix G16 laptop is down to $1,099.99 ($300 off) at Amazon. The more modest Strix is configured with a slightly older Intel Core i7 13650HX processor, RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Its 16-inch display is only 1920 x 1200 resolution, but it supports a fairly speedy 165Hz refresh. And it just wouldn’t be a Strix without a whole load of RGB lighting.

• The MSI Stealth A16 AI Plus is on sale at Best Buy with a new Ryzen AI 9 chip, an RTX 4070 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $1,699.99 ($300 off), matching its best price to date. The mid-tier Stealth is one of MSI’s best-selling gaming laptops, as it balances a whole lot of gaming performance without the eye-watering prices of higher-end models. The 16-inch laptop isn’t exactly small, but it’s thin enough to take places, and its QHD panel supports up to a speedy 240Hz refresh rate.
• The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus — which features a lovely 15.6-inch OLED display, an Intel Core 3 Series 1 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage — is down to $599.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy. The latest version of Samsung’s higher-end Chromebook is one of the first with Google’s new Quick Insert button, which repurposes the Caps Lock key to double as a shortcut for Gemini AI help or other non-AI productivity tasks.

The best robot vacuum / mop deals

• The Roomba Combo 10 Max is matching its all-time low of around $999 ($400 off) directly from Amazon, iRobot, and Best Buy. The new flagship model from iRobot has all the same features as the j9 Combo, plus a new dock that can clean and dry the robot’s mop, refill its water tank, and empty its bin.
• The iRobot Roomba Combo j7 Plus is on sale for around $699 ($300 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is one of its better prices to date. The j7 Plus is similar to the Roomba Combo j9 Plus, as it offers AI obstacle avoidance and a mop that automatically lifts to keep your carpets dry. The main difference is that the Combo j9 Plus offers longer batter life and can refill its own mop tank; it also features a new dirt detection feature. Read our review.
• Amazon and Narwal are selling Narwal Freo X Ultra for $799.99 ($600 off), which is the best price we’ve seen on the terrific mopping bot to date. The vac’s anti-tangle brush and 8,200Pa suction do a nice job on most carpets, but where it excels is on hard floors. In fact, the X Ultra is smart enough that it will go back and re-mop areas it deems as dirty. It touts relatively quiet operation, too, thanks in part to an onboard compression bin that only needs to be emptied every 60 days or so.

• The Roborock Q5 Pro Plus — that’s with the auto-empty dock — is on sale at Walmart for $329.99 (down from $699.99), an all-time low. If emptying the robot’s bin is a chore you want to avoid as much as possible, the extra $190 will buy you that convenience.

• Our pick for the best budget robot vacuum and mop, the Dreame D10 Plus, is on sale at Amazon and Dreame’s online storefront for $259.99 ($140 off), an all-time low. It’s a solid vacuum that can also mop and self-empty. The lidar-equipped bot can also map your home and lets you add keep-out zones, which is a rare feature at this price point.
• If you’re hoping to pick up a solid midrange robot vacuum, Eufy’s X10 Pro Omni is matching its all-time low of $549.99 ($250 off) at Amazon and Eufy’s online storefront (with promo code WS24T2351). While not quite as proficient at picking up dirt and debris as some of our top robovac picks, it boasts a pair of powerful oscillating mops, great AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and a compact dock that’s far less obtrusive than most.
• If you really want to save money, the budget-friendly Roomba Combo Essential vacuum and mop is on sale for $157 ($117 off) at Amazon and for $3 more directly from iRobot. The robovac / mop hybrid is the successor to the Roomba 694, with iRobot claiming it offers 20 times more suction power and longer battery life. Unlike pricier robovac / mop hybrids, however, there’s no option for an auto-empty dock.
• The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1, a previous pick for best mid-range auto empty vacuum and mop, is selling for $350 off at Best Buy and Amazon — down to $349.99. But if you head over to SharkNinja’s website, you get that price and a free Shark Wandvac, a cordless handheld vacuum worth $130. The Matrix mops very well, doing a swingy, scrubbing movement with its rear end, and it can auto empty, but it only self-empties in vacuum mode — you have to manually fill and attach the mop reservoir and empty the bin when it mops.

The best smart home deals

• If you’re looking for a budget-friendly thermostat, the Amazon Smart Thermostat offers a lot for the price. It’s currently down to $51.99 ($28 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its second-best price to date. The thermostat integrates well with Amazon Alexa and is capable of adapting to your habits and preferences over time, much like pricier models. However, bear in mind you can’t control it using voice assistants other than Alexa, and it lacks native temperature sensors. Read our review.

• The lovely Aqara Ceiling Light T1M light fixture is $40 off at Amazon, down to $109.99 from $149.99 when you apply the on-page coupon. You can add ambiance and function to a room with this dual, addressable LED ceiling light. For easier control, pick up this Aqara smart switch for $28.79 ($7 off) at Amazon. An Aqara Zigbee hub is also required. Read our review.
• Govee’s Christmas String Lights 2 are on sale in a 66-foot configuration for $63.99 ($36 off) at Amazon, which is their best price yet. The smart string lights offer more than 130 preset lighting effects, though you can also create your own custom displays. The IP65-rated lights also work with Matter, so you can connect them to any major smart home platform.

• Eero’s Pro 6E mesh router is available for an all-time low of $159.99 ($90 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, or as part of a two-pack for $259.99 (Amazon, Best Buy) or a three-pack for $349.99 (Amazon, Best Buy). It doesn’t support Wi-Fi 7 like the newer Eero Max, but it does support the 6GHz Wi-Fi band with speeds of up to 1.3Gbps. It also can cover up to 2,000 square feet per unit and conveniently features a pair of ethernet ports. Read our review.

• Mill is offering $200 off its high-tech smart bin, which grinds and dehydrates kitchen scraps overnight into a compost-like material. You can buy the bin outright for $799, down from $999, at Mill’s website. It’s a great way to keep stinky odors out of your kitchen, reduce food waste, and cut down on how much trash you generate. Read our review.

The best smart security deals

• Arlo’s new Wired Floodlight Camera is seeing its first sale at $99.99 ($50 off) at The Home Depot. Arlo’s battery-powered Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Cam is one of our top picks for a floodlight camera, and the wired version means no more worrying about recharging it. However, Arlo’s monthly subscription plan for recorded video is expensive, starting at $8 a month.

• The svelte retrofit August Wi-Fi (4th-gen) smart lock is just $110.04 right now at Amazon, down from $229.99. This is a great price for this excellent retrofit lock that works with all the major smart home platforms and doesn’t require a separate bridge or hub to connect to Wi-Fi. Pro tip: pick up a value pack of these CR123A batteries that are on sale for $32 at Amazon, as it eats through batteries, and they’re expensive. Read our review.

• Ring’s Stick Up Cam Battery is on sale for an all-time low of $49.99 ($50 off) at Wellbots or $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The battery-powered 1080p camera offers weatherproofing, so you can mount and use it outside and inside, but you’ll have to pay for a Ring Protect plan to record video. Thankfully, basics like two-way audio, night video, and motion alerts are available for free.
• The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam is available at Amazon and Best Buy for $29.99 ($30 off), which matches its best price to date. Unlike its predecessor, the indoor security camera features color night vision and a physical privacy cover, allowing you to turn off video and audio recording. The wired camera is similar to its predecessor otherwise and features sharp 1080p HD resolution, a built-in siren, and two-way audio.

• You can buy Google’s wired Nest Cam for $69.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches its all-time low. The indoor 1080p camera offers snappy performance and free smart alerts for people and pets. It also comes with 24/7 recording and other useful features, including a Familiar Faces tool that lets you know who is in a room. However, you’ll have to pay for Google’s Nest Aware plan to enable those features. Read our review.
• Our favorite video doorbell, the wired Nest Doorbell, is around $98 ($81 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, which is by far the lowest price we’ve seen. It may not offer 1080p resolution like other video doorbells in its range (it’s limited to 960 x 1280), but it still produces a clear picture and is one of the few options that can manage 24/7 recording. It also supports facial recognition with smart alerts. Read our review.

The best fitness tracker and smartwatch deals

• The Fitbit Inspire 3 is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store for $69.95 ($30 off), matching its all-time low. The minimalist band lacks built-in GPS and doesn’t offer as many health and fitness features as the Charge 6, but it packs a bright OLED display and does a good job with the basics. It supports both irregular heart rate notifications and advanced sleep tracking, along with several stress management features. Read our hands-on impressions.
• The Fitbit Ace LTE is now at a fresh all-time low of $160.95 ($60 off) at Amazon, or you can get it for $179.95 ($50 off) at Best Buy and Google’s online storefront. Designed for kids, its bubbly design is a bit more playful than most Fitbits. You can play games on it and even take care of a Tamagotchi-like pet, and the tracker periodically pauses the fun until your child has gotten more steps in. Parents can also use it to exchange messages with their children and monitor their real-time location, assuming they opt for the $9.99-a-month Ace Pass data plan.

• If you’re looking for a terrific Fitbit alternative, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 is a great pick that’s $149.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Garmin’s online storefront. It’s a shame it lacks built-in GPS, but it does offer a lot of health features not found on rivals like the Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4, including hydration tracking and access to Garmin Coach, which provides marathon training plans. These features aren’t locked behind a paywall, either, making the wearable an even better deal. Read our review.

• The Garmin Fenix 7S Pro, one of the best fitness trackers you can buy, is on sale exclusively for Verge readers. Now through Cyber Monday, you can get the multi-sport fitness watch for just $529.99 ($270 off) at Wellbots with promo code VERGEBF270. In addition to a smorgasbord of health sensors and workout tracking, it has reliable multiband GPS, solar charging, military-grade durability, and weekslong battery life. Read our review.

The best TV, streaming device, and soundbar deals

• LG’s G4 OLED TV is on sale in the 55-inch configuration starting at $1,796.99 (about $803 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price yet. The 4K TV sports many of the C4’s standout features — including a 144Hz refresh rate — but it offers brighter picture quality and more accurate colors.
• The LG B4 OLED is another solid gaming TV, and you can get a 48-inch model for $599.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy or a 55-inch model for $999.99 ($400 off). It has an older processor and a dimmer screen than the costlier “Evo” models, but it’s a fine option if you’re looking for a relatively affordable way to experience 4K 120Hz gaming on an OLED panel.

• If size matters most to you when it comes to TVs, then check out the Hisense 100-inch U8 Mini LED 100U8K TV selling for $2,599.99 ($2,398 off) at Amazon. Yes, that’s 100 diagonal inches of 4K content, complete with 144Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 support. Amazon only has a handful of these left in stock, possibly because boxed 100-inch TVs take up a lot of spce.
• You can get the 65-inch Samsung S90D OLED starting at $1,397.99 ($800 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung, which is the lowest price we’ve seen on the 4K TV. It’s just a small step down from the S95D OLED, as it doesn’t have a glare-reduction panel, but you still get sharp picture quality and a slew of gaming features, including a 120Hz variable refresh rate. Unfortunately, Samsung TVs still exclude Dolby Vision, so you’ll have to look elsewhere if that’s important to you.

• Whether you’re outfitting a bathroom or need some sensory stimulation for a newborn’s nursery, there’s still a bit of room in the world for 32-inch, 720p TVs like the Insignia F20 —which is on sale for only $69.99 ($60 off) at Best Buy. You won’t get many tricks, but it has HDMI Arc and it’s a Fire TV, meaning you have the convenience of voice-activated content discovery across hundreds of apps via the included Alexa Voice Remote.

• The Sonos Ray is available for just $169 ($110 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and the Sonos storefront. The compact soundbar isn’t as powerful as other models in the brand’s lineup, but it should easily best your TV’s built-in speakers. It’s not our first choice for a soundbar — it lacks HDMI (and thus doesn’t support the helpful eARC tech) — but it’s an affordable way to add a Sonos piece to your home theater setup if you don’t mind using optical. Read our review.

The best streaming deals

• Now until 3AM ET on December 2nd, you can get an entire year of ad-supported Peacock Premium for $19.99 or six months for $1.99 a month. The streaming service is great for sports fans, featuring live broadcasts for NFL Sunday Night Football games, college basketball, Premier League soccer, WWE premium live events, golf, and more. It features scores of other programming, too, including on-demand movies and original shows.

The best smartphone and mobile accessory deals

• The Google Pixel 8A is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store starting at $399 ($100 off), which is $20 more than its lowest price to date. You’ll get a pure Android experience that’s guaranteed to receive updates over the next seven years, and the device should last you well into that timeline thanks to its IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. It also has wireless charging, a speedy Tensor G3 chip, a 120Hz OLED display, and a dual-camera array that works pretty well. Read our review.

• The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is matching its all-time low of $299.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung’s online storefront. It comes with a robust IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it should survive a brief swim in a puddle or… you know. Coupled with a strong software support policy with five years of promised security updates, it’s a great deal in the under-$500 class.
• The OnePlus Open is going for $1,199.99, down from $1,699.99, which is an excellent price for a great folding phone. It’s a year old at this point, but it should still receive another four years of security updates. You can get an extra $100 off with a trade-in if you go through OnePlus directly, but the discounted price is also available from Amazon and Best Buy.

• Now through November 30th, Moft is taking up to $60 off a variety of cases, stands, and other accessories. The ongoing promo includes Moft’s Invisible Phone Stand and Wallet, which is capable of holding up to three cards and was our favorite adhesive phone grip in 2022. To get the $60 discount, you’ll have to order over $200 and apply the code BF60. However, you can also spend much less and still save, with Moft offering $10 off if you spend over $50 (with code BF10); $20 off if you spend more than $100 (using code BF20); and $37 off if you spend over $150 (with code BF37).

The best charger deals

• If you’re not ready to pony up for a Qi2 charger, Ugreen’s Magnetic Wireless Charging Station has fallen to an all-time low of $23.99 ($16 off) at Amazon. Unlike the newer Qi2 offerings that provide 15W charging speeds, Ugreen’s charger can only supply 7.5W of power to MagSafe-compatible devices, or 5W to a pair of wireless earbuds or any Qi-ready device if you’re using the integrated charging stand located on the bottom.
• If transparent electronics are your thing, you can pick up the Shargeek 170 Power Bank at Amazon for $134.90 ($64 off) or directly from Sharge for $129.90 ($69 off). The handsome prism-shaped charger features a 24,000-mAh capacity and a maximum output of 170 watts, allowing you to fast-charge most everything you own. It even offers a color display so you can see the remaining battery life, output, and other helpful info at a glance.
• Belkin’s BoostCharge Dual Wall Charger 42W has dropped to a new low of $19.99 ($10 off) at Amazon. It has one USB-C and one USB-A port for simultaneous charging and folding prongs that make it easier to slip into a bag or pocket while traveling. Its USB-C Power Delivery port meets the fast charging speeds of most smartphones, but you can also use it to charge tablets and laptops at a respectable rate.

The best gaming deals

• The Xbox Series S is down to around $249 ($50 off) at Best Buy and Target. It’s the most affordable option in Microsoft’s latest console generation, namely because it features less processing power and caps gaming at 1440p resolution. It also lacks a disc drive and only has 512GB of storage instead of 1TB. However, it’s still capable of playing all the same games as the Series X. Read our review.
• One of Best Buy’s doorbusters is the Asus ROG Ally, which is matching its all-time low of $499.99 ($150 off) with a Z1 Extreme processor and 512GB of storage (My Best Buy Plus and Total members can save another $50). The handheld lets you play PC games on the go, thanks to its seven-inch 1080p display, and while there are faster alternatives, it’s still serviceable for esports shooters, indie gems, and other lightweight titles. Read our review.

All of them are compatible with the Xbox One and Series X / S, too, or with Windows PCs and mobile devices using Bluetooth or USB-C.
• Amazon’s Luna wireless controller has reached an all-time low of $39.99 ($30) at Amazon. The gamepad is designed for the retailer’s cloud gaming service, exclusively enabling features like server-side low-latency control and automatic screen switching on Amazon Fire TVs and devices.

• If you enjoyed HBO’s fantastic adaptation of The Last of Us, The Last of Us Part I is on sale for the PlayStation 5 at Best Buy, Target, and GameStop starting at $29.99 ($40 off), an all-time low. It’s a remarkable remake of the classic title from 2013, with faster load times, better visuals, and other welcome tweaks. Read our review.
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is on sale for the PS5 at Amazon and Best Buy for $39.99 ($30 off), an all-time low. The sophomore game in Square Enix’s reboot trilogy is arguably better than the original, with added gameplay tweaks, improved visuals, and welcome character development that deftly expands upon the classic PS1 RPG. It’s all killer, no filler.
• Nintendo’s neon blue and red Joy-Con controllers are receiving a rare discount at Walmart and Best Buy, which drops them to around $59 ($21 off) for a limited time. The detachable controllers are still a great option if you play in handheld mode or while your Nintendo Switch is docket, even if they’re not the most comfortable over long gaming sessions.
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard is seeing its first notable discount, with the physical PlayStation 5 version selling for $54 (about $16 off) at Amazon. It’s been nearly 10 years since the last major BioWare RPG in the world of Dragon Age, and The Veilguard is a worthwhile follow-up that looks great and continues the signature storytelling and relationship building the series is known for.

• Insomniac’s Wolverine could be years away; however, if you have yet to play the studio’s other superhero title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has fallen to a new low of $39.99 ($30 off) at GameStop and Target. It’s a terrific sequel to the 2018 open-world title, with new mechanics, more baddies, and the ability to play as two — count ‘em, two — spider-men. Read our review.
• It might not be Mario’s latest romp for the Nintendo Switch, but Super Mario Odyssey is on sale for $29.99 ($30 off) at Target and GameStop, which remains one of its best prices to date.

Read our review.

• The PS5 version of Gran Turismo 7 has dropped to $29.99 ($40 off) at Best Buy and Target, nearly matching its best price to date.

You can also race in virtual reality with a PlayStation VR2 headset. Read our review.
• Sony’s InZone Buds for PC and PlayStation have dropped to a new low of around $168 ($32 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The gaming-centric wireless earbuds come with a USB-C dongle and deliver great sound, namely because they use the same drivers and offer the same noise cancellation capabilities as Sony’s WF-1000XM5 — our pick for the best wireless earbuds; they also offer robust customization via Sony’s InZone Hub software.

• The 2TB WD_Black SN850P SSD is on sale with a PS5-ready heatsink for $159.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy and SanDisk’s online store. While it misses the all-time low mark by $30, it’s still a good price for a package that makes it easy to add storage to your PS5. With traditional external SSDs and hard drives, you’d still need to transfer games to the PS5’s internal storage. You can also slot it into an available M.2 slot in your gaming PC.
• Need some affordable but sizable storage for your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck? The SanDisk 512GB Extreme microSD card is just $35.99 (around $7 off) at Amazon. It’s been slightly cheaper before, but remains one of the most affordable ways to fit many more digital games onto a handheld.

The best location tracker deals

• The 2024 Tile Mate is available for an all-time low from Amazon and Tile, where you can grab it starting at $19.98 ($5 off).

It also now can send SOS alerts to your loved ones and even emergency services if you pay for the $14.99-a-month Life360 Gold subscription.
• Eufy’s new SmartTrack Card E30 is on sale for $23.99 ($11 off) at Amazon and directly from Eufy (with promo code WS24T87B1). Unlike its predecessor, the Eufy Security SmartTrack Card, Eufy’s latest tracker is rechargeable and should last you up to a year before you need to charge it again. It also sports a slim design — which makes it ideal for a wallet — and compatibility with Apple’s vast Find My network.
• If you’re really tight on cash, the last-gen Eufy Security SmartTrack Card is also on sale for $16.88 ($14 off) at Amazon, which is nearly its best price to date. Just bear in mind it doesn’t have a replaceable battery, though the one it does should last for up to three years.

It offers a simulated sunrise, peaceful alarms, guided meditation exercises, and a selection of white noise so you gently wake up and fall asleep more easily. Read our review.
• The Te-Rich Weighted Jump Rope is on sale for an all-time low of $13.48 (about $4 off) at Amazon for Prime subscribers. The adjustable smart rope isn’t particularly fancy, but it does offer a built-in LCD display with a reliable jump counter and timer.

• As part of its early Black Friday promo, Oaky is taking up to 25 percent off several desks, chargers, docks, and other wooden accessories.

• Grovemade makes some truly excellent desk accessories, many of which use metal, wood, and felt for a more premium touch. They’re definitely pricey, but thankfully, Grovemade is running a holiday sale until December 4th, allowing you to save on shelving, succulent planters, and other gear. Some of us at The Verge personally use the Wood Laptop Stand (now $160), which can elevate the look of any workstation.
• If you’re looking for a more “innovative” way to eat cereal, the CrunchCup is on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $17.56 (about $6 off). The absurd, two-cup contraption takes some getting used to, but once you get it down, it’s a handy way to consume breakfast on the go. Just pick your cereal wisely — not everything Kellogg’s makes is spout-friendly.

• Azul, a four-player puzzle game that challenges you to tile mosaics in a palace, is down to $19.99 (50 percent off) at Amazon and Target, which isn’t far off from the all-time low. It’s easy to learn and suitable for ages eight and older, but it has just the right amount of depth and competitiveness to keep family and friends coming back for more.
• Ticket to Ride is another classic board game down that’s starting at $25 (about $30 off) at Amazon and Target. That’s one of the better prices lately on a cutthroat card game, which challenges you to build the longest locomotive route across classic America before your other tycoon opponents.

• Wildfire season might be behind us (for now), but you can still pick up the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty from Amazon and Coway for around $141 ($99 off), which matches its second-best price to date. The compact HEPA air purifier features a four-stage filtration system, and though we don’t do a ton of dedicated air purifier testing here at The Verge, we can personally attest to the effectiveness of this midrange model for smaller rooms.
• You can currently grab a gorgeous illustrated edition of The Hobbit for $27.50 (about $48 off) at Amazon thanks to an on-page coupon.

Tolkien’s 1937 classic, which brings together more than 50 of the author’s original sketches, drawings, paintings, and maps.
