Amazon's official Black Friday sale has arrived and with it comes deals galore. Though the mega retailer has been dropping deals for weeks, the official sale has brought new discounts you'll definitely want to take advantage of — particularly on its own devices.

We've rounded up a few of the best Amazon deals of the day on Nov. 21. If you missed our picks from Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, be sure to check those out as well. Many of the deals are still live — including a new all-time low on the JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth speaker and the M3 MacBook Air base model with 16GB RAM for only $849.

Our top pick Opens in a new window Credit: Sonos Sonos Era 300 $359.00 at Amazon
$449.00 Save $90.00 Get Deal

Mashable's Stan Schroeder reviewed the Sonos Era 300 and deemed it the "king of sub-$500 smart speakers." It's the first speaker from Sonos to support spatial audio and it can connect seamlessly with other audio products from the brand — not that it needs a boost from anything else. This baby is powerful on its own with "incredibly loud, expansive, precise sound." The design is kind of bland, and it's not quite as easy to use as Apple's HomePod, but we're willing to forgive those minor flaws for the absolutely booming sound. Usually $449, it's back down to its all-time low of $359 at Amazon as of Nov. 21.

$159.99 Save $30.00 Get Deal

When it comes to Kindles, it doesn't get much better than the Kindle Paperwhite (2024). Mashable's Sam Mangino reviewed the latest model and called it "not just the best Kindle but the best e-reader overall." It's compact and lightweight, features a responsive interface with adjustable warmth that's good for your eyes, and is the fastest Kindle yet. She adds that it's even better than the Signature Edition. Usually $159.99, it's on sale for Black Friday for just $129.99. That's 23% in savings and its lowest price on record.

Our favorite Dyson Airwrap dupe, the Shark FlexStyle, just dropped to a new record-low price at Amazon on its first day of the official Black Friday sale. Usually $319.99 for the black version for all hair types, it's down to just $229.99 on Nov. 21. That's 28% in savings. This deal comes with two auto-wrap curlers, a styling concentrator, an oval brush and paddle brush, as well as the curl-defining diffuser attachment. When Mashable Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard tested the FlexStyle, she said that it offered a nearly one-to-one experience with the Airwrap, noting that she couldn't imagine a reason why you'd choose Dyson's more expensive option instead.

Whether you need a way to destress around the holidays or a solid gift idea for someone in your life, a massage gun is just what the doctor ordered. The Theragun Relief, just released last year as a budget version of the popular Theragun Elite, is an affordable option that just got even cheaper for Black Friday. Usually $149, it's on sale for a new low of $119 at Amazon. As a budget model, you'll miss out on some of the fancier features, but you'll still get three attachments, three speeds, a similar ergonomic design, and "all the benefits of a 15-minute massage in just under two minutes."

Just a little over a year old, the Echo Show 8 is still a solid smart home addition. It improves on the things we loved about the previous model — packing a centered 13MP front camera for clearer calls, a dynamic interface that adjusts based on your distance to the device, and spatial audio for more enjoyable listening. You can still use it as a central hub for controlling your lights, setting your security alerts, making video calls, and even streaming shows. It's usually $149.99, but for Black Friday, it's on sale for only $79.99 — a new record low at 47% off.

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl trailer: Feathers McGraw, evil gnomes, and more

Mashable - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 09:17

It's been 19 years since the last feature-length Wallace & Gromit film. Thankfully, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is here to bring that drought to an end. And it's bringing a classic Wallace & Gromit villain along for the ride!

Criminal mastermind penguin Feathers McGraw, of The Wrong Trousers fame, is back for vengeance in this new claymation caper. In the film's latest trailer, we see his plan beginning to take shape. He hijacks Wallace's (voiced by Ben Whitehead) latest creation: a smart gnome named Norbot (voiced by Reece Shearsmith). With his settings now set to "evil," Norbot embarks on a crime spree to break Feathers out of his zoo prison. Can Wallace and his trusty beagle Gromit put things right?

What follows is another wonderful addition to the Wallace & Gromit series. As I wrote in my review for Mashable, "the film is a delightful romp in all ways. Silliness reigns supreme here, with Vengeance Most Fowl's smallest details — including a deluge of puns and a cheese-themed captcha — just as likely to send you into orbit as its madcap set pieces, which involve everything from boats to office chairs."

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl hits Netflix Jan. 3.

"Right now you may be wondering: 'How did I get this job?' 'So I'm just in charge now?' And, 'Wait, what is my job again?' Well I can I assure you, the answer to all these questions is: I don't f***ing know."
