2025 is nearly upon us, and we can already feel those New Year's resolutions brewing. If your resolution has anything to do with becoming more active, you may want to consider picking up a fitness tracker to assist you in achieving your goals next year. Luckily, Black Friday deals are at their peak, so now's the time to pick one up at a discount whether you're looking for something more basic or something high-tech like a smartwatch.

Below, we've rounded up the best Black Friday fitness tracker deals so far. Keep checking in with us, though — we constantly update our deals pages with new discounts as soon as they go live, so if you want to stay on top of it, stick with us.

Fitbit is synonymous with the entirety of the fitness tracker category, and it's for a good reason: They work well, and they're affordable. The Fitbit Charge 3 has become even more affordable this Black Friday — just $69.95 for the tracker, which is $30 off the original price. If you want to track your activity, stress, sleep, and more on a budget, the Fitbit Charge 3 isn't a bad place to start.

Apple recently released the Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2. They're seriously impressive. They're also overkill for the vast majority of us, so if you're new to wearables, start with the simpler Apple Watch SE. Unless you're a hardcore athlete or diver, you'll still get all the features you expect.

For the Black Friday weekend, you can still get the 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE for just $149. The SE doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer varieties, but it has all the smartwatch necessities to keep you going, like fall detection, workout metrics, texting and calling, sleep tracking, and much more. With $100 off and a $149 sale price at Walmart and Amazon, it's an easy entry point into that Apple Watch lifestyle.

Black Friday is behind us, which means that Cyber Monday is just about to kick off.

Apple deals, particularly on iPads, started rolling in once major retailers kicked off their official sales programming in early November. We've been seeing prices at or near record lows for weeks, from the iPad Air at $100 off, the 10th generation iPad at $70 off, and the new iPad mini at $99 off (which is now sold out).

There aren't many significant price changes now that Cyber Monday is about to start. Aside from a $20 price drop on the 10th generation iPad with boosted storage, the iPad deals largely remain the same as the Black Friday shopping event. Given that these prices are some of the best of the year, that's hardly a disappointment. These deals are good no matter which way you slice it.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

We consider the iPad Air the best Apple tablet for most people: it has the flexibility to be a good school companion, as it can be a laptop replacement or art tablet. The M2 chip also powers some older Pro models, but you'll be saving a few hundred bucks (especially with this iPad deal). At $499, this iPad is just a dollar away from its record-low pricing, making it an excellent time to pick it up ahead of the holidays.

Speaking of which, if you've been thinking about upgrading your headphones, now's the time to check out the deals on Apple AirPods, including the latest release, the AirPods 4.

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Pro 2.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2, which come packed with great features like ANC, hearing protection options, personalized spatial audio, and more, are selling for $153.99 at Amazon (they've been going back and forth between $153.99 and $154, in case that extra penny makes a difference to you). That's $95 off and the lowest price we've seen on these earbuds yet.

As we approach Cyber Monday, we have seen these earbuds go out of stock at Amazon. If they're unavailable, you can also pick them up for this price at Walmart. As of this writing, Target and Best Buy are selling them for $169.99.

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Max.

If you're not really into earbuds, the AirPods Max are a good pair of over-ear headphones that'll allow you to stay within the Apple ecosystem (we get it, we like our tech to have synergy, too). While we like them for Apple users, we do have some qualms with their shorter battery life, weird carrying case, and lack of a power button, especially at their price point. We do have to point out one fatal flaw with these headphones — they still use a lightning connector. Despite this very lame feature, they're still undeniably cool. And if you're willing to pay a bit more, the new USB-C version is on sale, too.

UPDATE: Dec. 1, 2024, 3:00 p.m. EST This post has been updated with the most recent sale pricing and stock of all of the Apple Watches still on sale the weekend after Black Friday, including a $20 further discount on the 2nd gen GPS + Cellular Apple Watch SE (compared to its initial sale price before Thanksgiving).

Black Friday itself is finished, but you can still score Apple Watch deals as we head into Cyber Monday. The big retailers are bringing the best prices we've seen on Apple Watches all year.

As of Sunday, Dec. 1st, the Apple Watch SE is at the low price of $149 (although only in select colorways.) If you prefer to stick with the current-gen, the recently released Series 10 watch is also on sale, and at its lowest-ever price. And for shoppers who are really ready to splurge, you can still grab the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $70 off at Amazon.

Read more from Mashable about the Apple Watch Series 10.

Just two months after its release, the Series 10 is down to a record-low price (for the third time).

Last year, the Series 9 dropped to $359 during Black Friday, so it's pretty impressive to be able to snag the next-gen Apple Watch for the same amount of money — especially when that next-gen watch has a bigger, crispier 46mm display (but a thinner design overall) and an inbuilt speaker for playing audio directly from your watch. If you'd be fine with a smaller screen, you can save an extra $30 and opt for the 42mm Series 10, which is on sale for $329 at Best Buy.

Black Friday is behind us, and Cyber Monday is before us. We're keeping a close eye on all the Apple deals for the latest sales and updating this page hourly with the best prices through Cyber Monday, which falls on Monday, Dec. 2.

Because if you think Apple doesn't show up with good deals during Black Friday season, think again.

It's true that if you're shopping straight from the Apple Store, you're limited to its usual gift card promo. From Nov. 29 through Dec. 2, Apple is giving out gift cards worth up to $200 with the purchase of select iPhones, MacBooks, AirPods, and more. Yawn.

The real savings are happening at other retailers. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are offering historic prices on the most coveted Apple products during their holiday sales, so keep checking back through Cyber Monday.

Skeptical about Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Apple products? We get it. Retailers sometimes use the label on mediocre deals. But we track Apple prices year-round, and only legit price drops earn a spot in this guide.

Case in point: Amazon's Black Friday Week sale delivered a new all-time low price on the M3 MacBook Air, which now comes with 16GB of memory. (It's also $55 cheaper at Amazon than it is at Best Buy.) You can also buy the AirPods Pro at the record-low price of $154 at Amazon and Walmart, which beats out their old Prime Day record by nearly $15.

As we round the corner into Cyber Monday, we're already seeing some of the most popular Apple deals that we thought had sold out are now magically back. The $89 AirPods 2? Back! The M3 MacBook Air? Back! So, if you see something you like on sale, grab it before it's gone again for good.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple AirPods Pro 2.

Whether you're a frequent flyer or simply someone who loves noise-cancelling headphones, we're betting you'll be a fan of the AirPods Pro. (If you're reading this far, let's assume you're not an Android user.) The latest version of the Pro earbuds has consistently been at a record low of $153.99. (Update: These buds may be priced at $154 for some shoppers, a whole penny more.) For comparison's sake, they've only hit $168.99 a handful of times prior to this price drop. Good on Amazon, Target, and Walmart for going all-in on a Black Friday deal this great.

Strangely, they're also $11 cheaper than the new AirPods 4 with ANC, which are supposed to be a more budget-friendly alternative to the Pros. (Yes, the AirPods 4 are also on sale.) Alongside top-notch ANC, you'll get six hours of battery life per charge, balanced sound, and of course, a seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem, making these earbuds some of our favorite headphones, period.

Read Mashable's full review of the M3 Apple MacBook Air.

A few weeks ago, the M3 MacBook Air got a quiet RAM upgrade without a price hike. That makes this new record-low price on the base configuration with 256GB of storage an even sweeter deal. (What's more, it's now a sub-$100 bump from the older, also-on-sale M2 version.) For reference, this is our favorite MacBook for most people in 2024: It's fast enough to handle light creative work, its keyboard and speakers are both fantastic, and it can support two external displays — so long as you close its lid first.

Update: The $844 deal has sold out at the time of writing. Prices at Amazon are now $899 for the 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD models. Select colors of the M3 MacBook Air are also back-ordered at Amazon, with most models not set to deliver until after Christmas.

The iPad Air is just one dollar away from its lowest price ever. This Apple tablet is our favorite model for most people thanks to its versatility: It works just as well for artists as it does for students. The M2 chipset makes it a more viable laptop replacement than other tablets while costing you a few hundred dollars less than a supercharged iPad Pro.

Thanks to Amazon and Best Buy, the Apple Watch Series 10 is officially down to a new record-low price for the third time this month. (This time around, it's at $329, as compared to last week's $349.) Apple's latest flagship smartwatch has a thinner and lighter design than previous models, plus a larger display that has a built-in speaker. It supports new health and fitness features like sleep apnea alerts and water temperature/depth sensing, though its faster charging was the biggest plus in our reviewer's eyes.

The best Cyber Monday gift card deals — save on everything from streaming services to groceries

Gift cards aren't exactly the most personal way of showing someone how much you care, but they're definitely more practical. At least you know they'll be used. We can't say the same about that personalized sweater you knit years prior.

Black Friday is usually a great time to find gift cards for just about anything for a steal. In years past, we've seen deals on rideshare services, streaming subscriptions, grocery delivery, travel, and more, and Black Friday definitely brought the heat, with picks from DoorDash, Lyft, and Instacart. As we continue toward Cyber Monday, you can still find most of these gift card deals at Amazon and Best Buy, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for any more that pop up as Cyber Week continues.

With a $100 DoorDash gift card, you can give someone in your life plenty of meals from local restaurants delivered to their doorstep. Better yet, you'll only have to pay $85 for it at Best Buy (and they'll never have to know!). The deal is valid on both physical and digital gift cards, depending on your preference. The physical gift card will be shipped to you within a few days, while the digital deal will be emailed to you immediately after purchase with details on redemption. Beyond just food delivery, you'll be giving the gift of extra time for people to enjoy the people and things they love.

These days, there might be no better gift to a loved one, or yourself, than slightly cheaper groceries delivered directly to your door. With the holiday season in full swing, it's especially nice to give the option of a home-cooked meal, or just restocking the essentials, without having to brave the grocery store, especially because eating out can add up (even if you grab that sweet DoorDash deal).

After treating most of November like Black Friday, Best Buy is tying a bow on its holiday programming with an extended Cyber Monday sale. The event kicked off on Sunday, Dec. 1 and formally runs through Monday, Dec. 2 online, in stores, and on the Best Buy mobile app — but according to its landing page, "some Cyber Deals will be available after Cyber Monday as well."

The tech retailer is serving up two kinds of side dishes with its main course. First, its Cyber Monday sale coincides with a new "25 Days of Deals" event featuring rotating online doorbusters that are only valid for 24 hours (unless they sell out first). They go live at 1:01 a.m. ET every day through Dec. 25, and may sometimes involve multiple items. Today's Deal of the Day stars a 65-inch Insignia 4K Fire TV that's on sale for $289.99 (normally $449.99). Tomorrow's deal will go to a very basic 14-inch Asus laptop.

SEE ALSO: The Cyber Monday deals we're already obsessing over

Best Buy is also releasing rapid-fire "Flash Deals" as part of its Drops program this Cyber Monday. These offers are available in limited quantities for a short while exclusively on the Best Buy mobile app starting at 9 a.m. ET on Dec. 2. Shoppers can preview them in the app or on the homepage of Best Buy's website: Look out for discounts on the Shark FlexStyle and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plans, plus a restock of the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle.

The Mashable Shopping team is tracking and vetting Best Buy's Cyber Monday deals as its sale progresses, and you can check out our running list of the best offers below. Keep in mind that Best Buy offers a Holiday Price Match Guarantee, so if anything you buy there gets cheaper later on, you can request a price adjustment. The retailer's extended holiday return and exchange period is also in effect.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

Best Buy is kind of getting clobbered in several categories of Apple deals this Cyber Weekend — MacBooks and AirPods, for two — but it is offering one of the best discounts on a current-gen Apple Watch. The new Series 10 model has a thin, lightweight design with a large display and a built-in speaker, health/fitness features like sleep apnea detection, water depth sensing, and speedy charging. If you own a Series 8 or older, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder recommends upgrading to it for that last reason alone. (No need to do so if you already have a Series 9.)

The 42mm size sans cellular connectivity is on sale at Best Buy for $329, which is 18% off its normal list price and its lowest price to date (and also matched at Amazon). Take your pick from three colorways: jet black/black, rose gold/light blush, and silver/denim.

If you'd prefer a slightly bigger case, the 46mm Series 10 is only $30 more this Cyber Monday.

Best 4K TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hisense Hisense 75-inch QD6 QLED 4K Google TV $449.99 at Best Buy
$699.99 Save $250.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Cyber Weekend is all about huge discounts on huge TVs, and this 75-inch Hisense model is a perfect case in point: At just $450, it's far cheaper than any other TV of its size right now. (Walmart had a 75-incher listed for $378 during its first Black Friday Deals event, but it's long sold out.) The fact that it has a bright and vibrant QLED display, not a standard 4K screen, sweetens the deal even further.

At the time of writing, Mashable staffers were seeing different availability depending on their location. If it's out of stock near you by the time you read this, note that Best Buy also has a 75-inch Samsung 4K TV on sale for $549.99 (normally $749.99), a lingering doorbuster from its Black Friday sale — though it's not a QLED model.

Best laptop deal Opens in a new window Credit: Microsoft Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) + Keyboard Bundle ✨ $899.99 at Best Buy
$1,349.99 Save $450.00 Get Deal Why we like it

This is the base configuration of the slick new Surface Pro 11, which has a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, a 13-inch touchscreen LCD display, and a nice 1440p webcam. We haven't tried it ourselves just yet, but it's rated at up to 14 hours of battery life. (If it's anything like Microsoft's other Qualcomm-powered laptop, that should definitely hold up IRL.)

The Surface Pro 11 is technically advertised as a 2-in-1 Copilot+ PC. Normally, there's one big problem with this laptop: all of its accessories are sold separately — including the Surface Pro Keyboard that would make it functional as a laptop. But for Cyber Monday, you can get a Surface Pro 11 bundle with a keyboard on sale for $899.99 — $100 cheaper than it was during Black Friday (for a total savings of 33%). For comparison's sake, the device itself is only $20 less at Amazon and the Microsoft Store.

Be sure to request a price adjustment from Best Buy if you bought the bundle at its higher Black Friday price.

Read Mashable's full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth deemed Bose's QC Ultra buds "impressive in every way": They have unrivaled ANC, they last six hours at a time (which you can bump to 24 hours with their included charging case), and they fit as nicely as their name implies. They also have an Immersive Audio feature that shifts sound around you as you move — it's not a game-changer, but it's still "really cool," said Beck Werth, who ultimately rated the QC Ultra Earbuds a 4.6/5. They're our No. 1 noise-cancelling earbuds and a Mashable Choice Award winner.

They usually retail for $299, but you can snag them on sale at Best Buy for $229 — a 23% savings and their lowest price since launching last fall. Amazon and Bose's online storefront were both matching that discount when we last checked, FYI.

Read Mashable's full review of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

Most gaming laptops are clunkers. Not the ROG Zephyrus G14, one of our favorite mid-range models of 2024: It has a "MacBook Pro-esque design" featuring a pretty OLED display, crisp speakers, and a great keyboard, "allowing it into blend into office spaces for work," our reviewer wrote. However, "it transforms into a gaming beast by night." Our testing configuration with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU had no trouble running graphically intense games like Cyberpunk 2077, though it did get a tad hot in the process. Overall, we gave it a 4.3/5.

After holding out on us during its Black Friday sale, Best Buy has listed the exact model we tried for $1,199.99 as a Cyber Monday deal — a 25% discount on its $1,599.99 MSRP.

Best action camera deal Opens in a new window Credit: GoPro GoPro Hero13 Black Bundle $349.99 at Best Buy
$449.99 Save $100.00 Includes free $25 Best Buy gift card Get Deal Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the GoPro Hero13 Black.

A Mashable Choice Award winner, GoPro's latest action camera "is way better than a $400 video camera has any right to be," wrote Beck Werth (who gave it a 4.7/5). Highlights include "insanely good motion stabilization," a slow-motion burst mode in 5.3K at 120 fps, and a better battery life than its predecessor. This accessory bundle tacks on a spare Enduro battery, a hand grip, a 64GB microSD card, two curved adhesive mounts, and a camera case.

Best Buy has it on sale for $349.99 (or $100 off) and throws in a free $25 gift card you can put toward other Cyber Monday deals. Considering the camera itself is on sale separately for $339.99 (typically $399.99), you're basically robbing Best Buy blind. The GoPro website was offering the same deal at the time of writing, but there's no gift card freebie offered there.

Walmart's holiday programming comes to a head today (Sunday, Dec. 1) as its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales do a changing of the guard.

The big-box store's second Black Friday Deals event ends at midnight ET, closing the curtain on doorbusters like a $178 55-inch 4K Roku TV, $29 JBL noise-cancelling headphones, $30 copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and new record-low prices on several Apple gadgets. Its Cyber Monday sale launched early access for paid members of the Walmart+ program at 5 p.m. ET — everyone else can start adding things to their carts at 8 p.m. ET. Non-members interested in joining for that head start can save 50% on an annual Walmart+ membership through Monday (Dec. 2).

When Walmart's early-access Cyber Monday deal begins, look out for the following rollbacks and doorbusters, among many others:

These offers will be available online and on the Walmart mobile app through Monday at midnight ET, unless they sell out first.

SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday has arrived at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart

Mashable's team of deal-hunting pros knows how to distinguish good discounts from duds (having covered Cyber Weekend sales for nearly a decade), and we're keeping a running list of Walmart's top holiday deals on popular tech and gifts this season. That includes TVs, laptops, headphones, gaming gear, vacuums, beauty tech, and Legos.

Keep scrolling to see our picks, and check back often: Walmart is dropping additional deals randomly during its holiday sales this year. A quick FYI that Walmart doesn't do price matches, but its extended return/exchange policy is in effect through Dec. 31. It covers most items purchased in stores and online.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were sold out at the time of writing.

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple AirPods Pro 2.

Apple's second-generation ANC earbuds have an Adaptive Transparency mode that lets the user hear environmental sounds while reducing loud noises, and — as this fall — a new clinical-grade Hearing Aid feature. Our reviewer was impressed by their "great sound" and a "long-lasting battery life," and appreciated the fact that they retained the same "really comfortable" fit as their predecessors. You don't need to upgrade if you already own the original AirPods Pro, but they're a nice upgrade from the non-Pro version.

Walmart has been a trendsetter this Black Friday: After it dropped the AirPods Pro 2 down to a record-low of $154 during its second Black Friday deals event (normally $249), other retailers like Amazon and Target swiftly followed suit. Neither of its competitors' deals were still live at the time of writing.

Walmart is famous for its Black Friday TV doorbusters, and this year the big-box store went hard. This is simply the cheapest TV deal we're currently seeing in the 55-inch size category, and the competition is pretty darn strong. Best Buy's least-expensive contender is $219.99, while Amazon's low-end option costs $299.99 — though both of those models have nicer, brighter QLED displays.

Walmart also has a 55-inch QLED Roku TV on sale for $288 (normally $348). Best Buy's cheaper QLED model is a Google TV, so the one you ultimately add to your cart will come down to your smart TV platform preference.

It actually sold out once at this price earlier in the week; it was back in stock at the time of writing.

Our initial reaction to seeing this deal was, "Is this allowed? " Twenty-nine bucks is a surprisingly and stupidly low price on a solid pair of comfy budget headphones with good noise cancellation and a long battery life. (JLab has rated them at up to 70 hours; we're currently testing them and feel like that's accurate.) Elsewhere, the JBuds Lux ANC are going for $46.99 at Amazon and $49.99 on the JLab website, so no idea how Walmart finagled this one.

Amazon's Black Friday sale went live Nov. 21 (a full week before Thanksgiving), ushering in some year-round lows on robot vacuums, Apple products, and Fire TVs. This year's best Amazon Black Friday deals even beat out the top October Prime Day offers.

Now that we're almost to Cyber Monday, the Mashable Shopping team is tracking all of the best discounts so you don't have to. We're refreshing our picks on a regular basis, so keep checking back as we add deals through Cyber Monday.

SEE ALSO: The Cyber Monday deals we're already obsessing over

Even if you're brand loyal to Amazon (and we don't blame you), definitely keep an eye on our coverage of the other big retailers — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target are going hard, and Amazon doesn't always have the lowest prices. Another smart shopping strategy: Use the Amazon-friendly price tracker CamelCamelCamel to see if the current deal is a good one, or add the item to your wishlist to get notified as soon as it goes on sale.

Amazon's extended holiday return window applies to most items bought between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, but Apple products are a notable exception.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price. 

Best Black Friday Kindle deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) 🔥 $154.99 at Amazon

"The new batch of 2024 Kindles is the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can't beat the SE's Black Friday price." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That's some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that's usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite — a lightweight and waterproof design — with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness.

For less than $20, why not add the convenience of being able to ask Alexa anything in any room of your home? Even if you can't see yourself being a full-screened Echo person, the Pop can subtly squeeze into any living situation. You won't even know it's there — until you're making dinner and can simply ask Alexa for measurement conversions out loud rather than actually figuring out the math. Then you'll definitely know it's there.

Read Mashable's full rev iew of the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023).

"Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet is a lot friendlier on the wallet than an iPad. With a 10.1-inch screen, it's similar in size, but it's also a fraction of the price. In our review of the Amazon Fire HD 10, we delighted in its lightweight design and long battery life. The biggest downside to Amazon's Fire tablets are the limited selection of apps offered, especially compared the the Google Play and Apple store.

"That being said, it's still not a bad choice for those who want a tablet for streaming or reading through the Kindle app — especially when the Fire HD 10 is down to its lowest price ever of $74.99. That's a generous 46% off for $65 in savings." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

$549.99 Save $250.00 Get Deal Why we like it

"This nearly 50% off discount on the Roomba Combo j5+ is stellar at first glance, but it looks like an even sweeter deal when compared to the current deal on the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, the Roomba Vac 2. For $249.99, that bare-bones Roomba doesn't mop and can't smart map your house. For $299 — just $50 more — the Roomba Combo i5+ can mop and can smart map to clean specific rooms in your home on command. If $300 is your budget cap for a new robot vacuum, spending that extra $50 is a no-brainer.

The only downside to choosing the Combo i5+ over the more advanced Combo j5+ is that the i series Roombas don't have small obstacle avoidance technology, so they can't dodge things on the floor like charging cords or pet waste. However, if your home is already pretty tidy as it is, or you're down to deal with tidying up ahead of vacuuming, the Combo i5+ is a total steal at this price." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 65-Inch Class S5 UHD 4K LED Smart Fire TV 🔥 $349.99 at Amazon
$449.99 Save $100.00 Get Deal Why we like it

For our top TV pick at Amazon, we previously went with this massive 75-incher from TCL — and there was a lot to love about it. But we know not everyone has the space for a TV that big, no matter how affordable. So as we round out Black Friday, we have to call your attention to another budget-friendly TCL TV, the 65-inch Class S5 Fire TV.

Don't get us wrong, this is definitely a basic TV. Its LED display isn't as sharp as its QLED or OLED competitors. However, $349.99 for a 65-inch TV seems, frankly, absurd. Despite all the inflation we've seen in recent years, 65-inch TVs remain stubbornly immune, and we're not complaining. This TV uses the Amazon Fire TV OS to connect you to your favorite streaming apps. You'll also get the benefit of an HDR PRO+ display, Dolby Atmos sound, and an Alexa voice remote.

Read Mashable's full review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

"Microsoft's slick Qualcomm-powered laptop lasted nearly 23 hours in our battery life test and one-upped the M3 MacBooks in our performance benchmark (both the Air and the Pro models). If Windows on Arm doesn't pose any compatibility issues for your go-to apps, we think it's the best Windows laptop for most people. It's a Mashable Choice Award-winner that got a 4.8/5 rating from our reviewer, which makes it one of our highest-rated laptops of 2024. (The Asus Zenbook Duo got the same score.)

The 13-inch model we tested came with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. It usually retails for a hefty $1,999.99, but Amazon's Black Friday Week sale has brought it down to just $1,499 there. That's 25% off and a new all-time low. It was price-matched in the Microsoft Store at the time of writing, FYI, while Best Buy had it listed for $1,699.99.

If you don't want to spend that much, pared-down configurations start at $844.99." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

It can be a little annoying that the ear cups don't fold in, but with 30 hours of battery life, you'll probably find yourself wearing them more often than not. Dropped down to $298, these headphones are at a dollar cheaper than their Prime Day price." — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Just released in August, this is the first time the new Google Pixel Watch 3 has ever gone on sale for less than $300. Unfortunately, the larger 45mm screen is still at full price, but even this 41mm model has a 10% larger display than the same size Pixel Watch 2, thanks to smaller bezels. The Pixel Watch 3's display is also just brighter and zippier in general, without sacrificing that 24-hour battery life.

On that screen, you'll be able to swipe through a more detailed running dashboard than the previous generation, check your heart rate changes from sleep, to regular daytime chilling, to a legit cardio workout, make payments via Google Wallet, and more.

If Thanksgiving prep had you wishing for another burner, there's a way to get one without overhauling your entire stove. Instant Pots are truly do-it-all appliances, letting you sauté, steam, and pressure cook all in one little pot. As Black Friday is winding down, so are the deals, and we've seen some Instant Pots sales dwindle.

Luckily, you can still find the drastically discounted Instant Pot 10-in-1 Pro (6 quart) for 42% off. Shop it ahead of Cyber Monday for just $98.99, and you'll be a master of it by the time your next holiday meal comes around.

It's one of Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard's favorite Dyson Supersonic dupes, particularly for smoothing — its QuickSmooth brush in particular not only dries hair quickly, but "keeps things from looking too windswept and more styled and volumized." This version also comes with a diffuser for defined curls, a concentrator for sleek, straight styles, and a FrizzFighter finishing tool.

These power stations have become common fixtures at campgrounds, festivals, and tailgates in recent years, but they're also extremely useful in emergency situations.

In years past, we've seen Hulu offer 99-cent subscriptions and Max offer six months of streaming for $2.99 per month. And we're pleased to report that those deals have been resurrected in 2024.

With streaming prices skyrocketing over the past year, we're actually a bit surprised at how impressive some of these Black Friday deals are, with almost all of them in place through Cyber Monday. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs, now's a great time to take advantage of a majorly discounted subscription. Just note that these deals are limited to new and returning subscribers only — as in, you once subscribed to Max, but cancelled your subscription months back.

And though Black Friday may be over, these subscriptions will persist just a little bit longer. (Most are live through Dec. 2, which is Cyber Monday.) We suggest you lock in these deals before prices go up again. If any other streaming deals surface, we'll be sure to update this with the latest and greatest ones. For now, here are all the best early Cyber Monday streaming deals that are still live.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were expired at the time of writing.

Best Cyber Monday streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Disney+ (with ads) and Hulu (with ads) $2.99/month for one year (save $96) Get Deal Why we like it

Not only did Mashable's streaming reporter Christina Buff call this the best streaming deal of Black Friday. She also said it's her pick for the best streaming deal of the year. When you sign up for Hulu and Disney+ together (the ad-supported versions), you can save $96 on the regular price. Normally $10.99 per month, you can pay just $2.99 for both of these streaming heavy-hitters.

Best Cyber Monday Hulu deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu with ads monthly subscription $0.99/month for one year (save $108) Get Deal Why we like it

Hulu remains the top dog when it comes to Black Friday and early Cyber Monday deals. For the second year in a row, the streamer is offering an entire year of Hulu with ads for just $0.99 per month. That's less than $12 total for an entire year of streaming. It's a bit surprising, honestly, as Hulu upped the cost of its basic plan just last month from $7.99 per month to $9.99 per month. In other words, the savings this year is even more impressive — 90% or $108 in total over 12 months. That's just ... wild. You can sign up at this sale price through Dec 2.

Hulu is the streaming home for three of our favorite shows of 2023, The Bear, Abbott Elementary, and Reservation Dogs, as well as our top favorite show of 2024, Shōgun. It's also where you'll find episodes of ABC shows the day after they air, like Dancing with the Stars, and Neon movies fresh out of the theaters, like Cuckoo (coming Dec. 17).

Best Peacock streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premium $1.99/month for six months or $19.99/year (save up to $60) with codes REALDEALMONTHLY or REALDEAL Get Deal Why we like it

Peacock drops one of the best streaming deals year after year during Black Friday and Cyber Monday season. And because of the streamer's price hike back in July, this year's deal is even better. Through Dec. 2, new and returning Peacock subscribers can score a year of ad-supported Peacock Premium for either $1.99/month for six months (reg. $7.99/month) or $19.99 for an entire year (reg. $79.99/year) using the codes REALDEALMONTHLY or REALDEAL, respectively. That's 75% in savings.

Peacock is home to classic TV hits like The Office and New Girl, Peacock Originals like Poker Face and Love Island USA, new theatrical releases from Universal like Abigail, The Fall Guy, and Twisters, as well as live sports, reality TV on Bravo, and more. At just $20 for the whole year, it's going to be a hard deal to beat this Black Friday.

Best Max streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max With Ads $2.99/month for six months (save $42) Get Deal Why we like it

Max has resurrected its exact Black Friday deal from last year, but that doesn't make us love it any less. If you're a new or returning HBO Max subscriber, you can score six months of the streamer's plan with ads for just $2.99 per month (instead of $9.99 per month) until Dec. 2. That saves you $42 total.

The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is home to not only Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases. That means you have an insane array of hit films at your fingertips, including Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Civil War, Love Lies Bleeding, Dune, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Barbie, Elvis, The Iron Claw, and more. Max also offers its own original series that are definitely worth watching, like True Detective, The Last of Us, and Station Eleven, as well as the B/R Sports add-on for a limited time.

Best Prime Video add-on deal Opens in a new window Credit: Prime Video / Paramount+ Paramount+ with Showtime (Prime Video add-on) $2.99 per month for two months (save $10 per month) Get Deal Why we like it

Typically $12.99 per month, you can score Paramount+ with Showtime for just $2.99 per month for your first two months as a Prime Video add-on. That saves you $20 total and gets you unlimited, ad-free access to the entire Paramount+ catalog, plus Showtime originals and movies (like Yellowjackets and The Curse), live TV with CBS, and college football.

Paramount+ is home to NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League matches, CBS originals like Ghosts, Survivor, and Big Brother, old Nickelodeon and MTV shows, and Paramount's latest theatrical releases like A Quiet Place: Day One and Smile 2 (coming soon). For just under $6, you can binge a whole lot of stuff over the next two months. After the promo period, the cost will jump back up to $12.99 per month, so be sure to cancel before that if you want to avoid charges. If you're not a Prime member, Paramount+ is also offering the same deal on their standalone streaming service.

Truly, the sheer volume of deals is dizzying. You're in luck though, as we've done the leg work for you. We've been tracking the best Black Friday deals for weeks, finding the lowest prices on all the big names: Apple, Bose, Sony, iRobot, Dyson, Samsung, and more.

Best Apple deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB) $844.00 at Amazon
$1,099.00 Save $255.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the M3 Apple MacBook Air.

"Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon was impressed by the M3 Air's peppy performance, satisfying keyboard, vivid webcam, and dual-display support (if you close its lid), rating it a 4.3/5. It may not look all that different from its older M-series predecessors — there is a new midnight finish option — but we think it's the best MacBook for most people, especially now that Apple's bumped its base RAM from 8GB to 16GB.

The starting configuration with 256GB of storage is on sale on Amazon for only $844, which is 23% off its $1,099 MSRP, its biggest discount ever, and $5 better than Best Buy's Black Friday deal on the exact same MacBook. This also puts less than $100 between it and the M2 Air, so opting for the current-gen model over the cheapest model out there feels like an easier, more obvious choice. Just note that delivery times for all finishes are pushed into December and January." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

"I think of the Roborock Qrevo S as the diet version of my favorite self-emptying robot vacuum right now, the Roborock Qrevo Master. And unless you're open to spending $1,000 or more on a robot vacuum, you can probably live without the Qrevo Master's fluff features like a livestream pet camera or extending side mop — especially when, at this price, you could buy a Qrevo S for two stories of your home for less than the price of one on-sale Qrevo Master.

Opting for the cheaper Qrevo is still a solid move: Compared to other 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos also on sale for Black Friday, the Qrevo S is one of the rare options under $500 that washes and dries its mopping pads." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

"Bose makes some of the best headphones we've tested. The brand's QuietComfort line-up strikes the genius balance of sound quality and comfort. While the QuietComfort Ultra headphones and earbuds are the most elevated Bose models, the basic QuietComforts are still great.

If you don't need spatial audio, but you do want sound that will make your music sound better, elevating drop beats and sick synth, go for the Bose QuietComfort headphones. The power button on the side is responsive, and the battery is insanely long. I wore these while taking the train from Boston to New York and by the time I reached my destination, they still had 50% battery life.

Normally, $349, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are down to $199. That saves you $150 for 43% savings." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

"Microsoft's Copilot+ PC has an even longer battery life than the new M4 MacBook Pros — it lasted nearly 23 hours in our testing — and it comes with AI features that 'make Windows fun again,' Gedeon wrote. She gave it a 4.8/5; it's a Mashable Choice Award winner and our current favorite laptop for most people, barring any app compatibility issues.

The upgraded configuration that Gedeon tested is a 13-inch model featuring a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. It usually retails for $1,999.99, but Amazon and the Microsoft Store both have it listed for $1,499.99, or 25% off. That's its biggest discount to date." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

"An iPad under $200 is a true gift this holiday season. Apple's 9th generation model is down to $199.99 at Best Buy, less than a dollar short of its lowest price ever. While there might be newer generations available, this is the most budget-friendly model, especially now that it's $129 off.

The 9th generation Apple iPad comes with the A13 bionic chip, which provides plenty of processing power for streaming, gaming, or working. The 10.2-inch retina display gives plenty of space for your creative pursuits, as it's compatible with the first generation of Apple Pencil.

Black Friday is the right time to shop, as you can find the Apple iPad 9th generation for 39% off." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

"The new batch of 2024 Kindles are the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can't beat the SE's Black Friday price.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That's some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that's usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite, lightweight and waterproof design, with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

The absolute best deal on Echo devices right now is on the Amazon Echo Pop. This small but mighty device with a quality speaker and built-in assistant so you can play music just by calling out to Alexa.

Currently, it's down to $17.99 — its lowest price ever. That knocks 55% off the regular price for $22 in savings. We expect this price to hang around through Black Friday weekend." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

$699.99 Save $250.00 Get Deal Why we like it

"Cyber Weekend is all about huge discounts on huge TVs, and this 75-inch Hisense model is a perfect case in point: At just $450, it's far cheaper than any other TV of its size right now. (Walmart had a 75-incher listed for $378 during its first Black Friday Deals event, but it's long sold out.) The fact that it has a bright and vibrant QLED display, not a standard 4K screen, sweetens the deal even further.

At the time of writing, Mashable staffers were seeing different availability depending on their location. If it's out of stock near you by the time you read this, note that Best Buy also has a 75-inch Samsung 4K TV on sale for $549.99 (normally $749.99), a lingering doorbuster from its Black Friday sale — though it's not a QLED model." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

For just $50 more than the Dyson V11's Black Friday price, the V12 Detect Slim brings aboard Dyson's absolute best feature: a green laser that highlights all the dust on the floor that you definitely would have missed otherwise. That's a no-brainer in my eyes. For plush carpeting, a motorized cleaning head is also included, and all debris collected is sent through a HEPA filter." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Hosting family this holiday season? They're going to need coffee. And if you're relying on a single-serve coffee maker to caffeinate all your cousins and their assorted significant others, be warned: Disaster is coming.

The solution? Perhaps a Keurig K-Duo Essentials coffee maker that can brew both ground coffee and K-Cup pods. Cup and carafe sizes vary according to your needs: eight, 10, and 12 ounces for cups and eight, 10, and 12 cups for carafes.

Samsung has a buy one, get one free sale on Odyssey gaming monitors for Cyber Monday

Mashable - Sun, 12/01/2024 - 22:00

Buy One, Get One: In the Samsung Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale, when shoppers buy the Odyssey G9 4K 57-Inch Gaming Monitor on sale, they'll also get the Odyssey G3 Monitor for total savings of $1,130.

$2,499.99 Save $900.00 Get Odyssey G3 27-Inch Gaming Monitor for Free Get Deal

Typically, you see BOGO deals (that's "buy one, get one free" in deals lingo) on products in the $25 to $100 price range. Usually, these deals cover boring, everyday products that retailers are trying to get rid of. But Samsung has been bucking that trend in recent years. We've seen them offer BOGO deals on TVs on more than one occasion, and for Cyber Monday, the company is giving Odyssey gaming monitors the same treatment.

During the Samsung Cyber Monday sale, when you buy the massive Odyssey Neo G9 4K Quantum Mini-LED 57-inch Gaming Monitor, Samsung will give you an Odyssey G3 27-Inch Gaming Monitor for free. Is there a catch? Well, the monitors are hardly equally priced. The Neo G9 is normally $2,499, but you can buy it on sale right now for $1,599.99. For comparison, the G3 is priced at $229.99 (and it's available on sale for $130). Still, when you add up the savings, you're saving $1,130 on this buy one, get one deal.

The Neo G9 4K is a curved gaming monitor that truly surrounds you for an immersive experience. Per Samsung, it's the "World's first Dual UHD Monitor." What does that mean? You're essentially getting two UHD monitors side-by-side, with no separation whatsoever. It's also got some impressive specs:

  • 240Hz refresh rate

  • HDR 1000

  • 1,000 nits peak brightness

  • AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

For our screen-maxers who want as much virtual real estate as possible, the G3 provides an additional 27-inches of screen. The monitor features a unique borderless design, with a nearly invisible bevel on the left, right, and top edges. In terms of specs, it has a 180Hz refresh rate and AMD Radeon FreeSync for smooth gameplay.

This buy one, get one deal is only available at the Samsung online store.

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for December 2, 2024

Mashable - Sun, 12/01/2024 - 22:00

Connections is the latest New York Times word game that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections?

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Tweet may have been deleted

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

NYT Strands hints, answers for December 2

Mashable - Sun, 12/01/2024 - 22:00

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Joy to the Mario World: Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundles are back in stock

Mashable - Sun, 12/01/2024 - 21:41

Special Buy: As part of the Best Buy Cyber Monday Deal, you can get the Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $299.99 and the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart Bundle for $349.99.

Not to spoil the holiday mood, but do you remember back during the pandemic when price gougers made it near-impossible to find Nintendo Switch consoles at a reasonable price? As shopping journalists, we remember all too well. Ever since, Nintendo and the big retailers have mostly kept these popular consoles in stock, thank goodness. But during Black Friday 2024, we've seen Nintendo Switch bundles selling out fast at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and elsewhere.

Of all the products selling out during Black Friday, none have gone faster than the Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Bundles. And just when we were starting to give up hope, Best Buy came through with a surprise restock. On Sunday, Dec. 1, Best Buy launched its Cyber Monday sale online, and with it, a fresh supply of Switch consoles dropped.

While they're not technically on sale, shoppers are essentially getting a free copy of Mario Kart 8 with their purchase.

The bundle is available in two versions: with the regular Nintendo Switch and with the new Nintendo Switch OLED. We liked the OLED, but it's a non-essential upgrade if you're on a budget (and who isn't right now?). As for Mario Kart — well, some games need no explanation. Generations of gamers have played this game, and if you're buying a Switch as a gift, then you can pass on the love to yet another crop of youngsters.

It should go without saying, but we'll say it anyway: We don't expect these bundles to stay in stock long.
