Costco members can get a crack at this high-end 17.3-inch gaming laptop for Cyber Monday (it’s available in stores and online). That’s $250 off of what was already a good deal.
We just awarded the Amazon Cloud Cam an Editors’ Choice for indoor security cameras and it’s already on sale for $100.

One of our perennial gifting go-to recommendations, the Sony A6000 APS-C mirrorless, comes in a kit with the 16-50mm and 55-210mm power zoom lenses for a seasonal discount of $700 at places like B&H, Adorama, Amazon and Best Buy, which is a terrific value. It runs at least through Dec. 2,2017.

A full-frame camera for the price of an inexpensive dSLR? Take it. Sony’s seasonal discount on its original Sony A7, (aka the ILCE-7) mirrorless drops the body to $800, a steal for a camera this good.
A kit for the body and the 28-70mm lens hits just under $1,000 — a really good deal. The 28-70mm isn’t a favorite E-Mount lens, but it’s one of the least expensive ones, so it’s a reasonable choice if you want to get up and shooting immediately. Prices run at least through Dec. 2,2017.

The new Sonos One smart speaker is only a few weeks old, but it’s already getting a nice discount at Amazon. With Alexa on board, it delivers most (not quite all) of what you get with an Echo, but with far better sound quality. It’s also compatible with nearly every audio service under the sun, and it’ll be adding Google Assistant and AirPlay 2 functionality in 2018.

We haven’t come across a Black Friday sale this year that doesn’t include the Xbox One S. But Target has the best deal we’ve seen for the hardware, because of the included $25 gift card bonus that brings the net price down to $165.
That said, we’re more inclined toward some of the incredible bundle deals at the Microsoft Store for $229, where you can start with the console including a game (such as Battlefield 1, Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3, Madden NFL 18 and others), and then add another title (albeit from a limited handful of choices). If you don’t already have an Xbox, this is a pretty great way to make the leap.

The PS4 Slim bundles went like hotcakes — now you need games. Target has a long list of great titles for as low as $15 each — the lowest we’ve seen this weekend.

The best Black Friday Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo deals we’ve found
The step-up version of the PS4 Slim, which delivers better graphics to 4K TVs, can be found for $50 off its retail price at Walmart and GameStop. (Unfortunately, an Amazon bundle that included Destiny 2 at this price is already gone.)

The Dot is the biggest hit in Amazon’s smart speaker lineup because it’s the least expensive way to access all of Alexa’s skills and control a wide array of smart home gadgets. Amazon and virtually every other retailer will have it for $30 on Black Friday, making it a slam dunk — and Amazon will let you add a TP-Link Smart Plug at checkout for only $5 more with any Echo purchase, too.

Another one of the deals that will be available at all the big box retailers this Black Friday. The updated Echo features improved audio quality with a dedicated woofer, tweeter and Dolby sound.

Walmart, Best Buy, Target and many others will offer the Google Home Mini for $29 — and throw in a $10 gift card to boot. Bottom line: Don’t pay more than $29 up front for the Mini this week.

Google’s Home voice-enabled speaker will be available for $80 during the Black Friday sale period at many retailers. That’s $50 off.

One of our favorite Bluetooth speakers, the UE Boom 2 can be had for $80 during Best Buy’s Black Friday sale. Unlike its new step-up sibling, the UE Blast, it’s not a smart speaker — but it’s waterproof and sounds great.

During the Black Friday sale period, the highly rated Fitbit Charge 2 activity tracker will be $100 ($50 off) at many retailers, including Best Buy.

Fitbit’s best basic all-around fitness tracker monitors heart rate and tracks everything automatically — and it’s a popular item this year, showing up in many Black Friday sales. Good battery life and a compact design make it the best Fitbit of 2017.

Roku’s best-in-class smart TV operating system will make an appearance at a few Black Friday sales. At $400, this 55-inch 4K TV is a sweet deal — and it’s available now at Amazon.

If you’re willing to spend $400 — still a deal — it looks like there are a couple left at Walmart for that price.

Now through Cyber Monday, the LG B7A series is at the lowest price ever for OLED-based TV — and OLED offers the best image quality we’ve ever tested. It’s not cheap by Black Friday standards, $1,500 for the 55-inch OLED55B7A and $2,300 for the 65-inch OLED65B7A, but for a high-end set it’s a great value. This sale is the time to pull the trigger, and this is the OLED TV to get. It’s available now from numerous retailers.

An entry-level gaming laptop on the cheap. Get in the game for under $700.

We don’t have firsthand experience with this model, the 80XL03BQUS, but we’re fans of the midrange IdeaPad series. And these specs — Intel Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU — make this a Black Friday deal well worth considering.

Best Buy is discounting Apple’s MacBook Pro laptops by up to $250 during the Black Friday sale window. It’s a good deal on a product line that isn’t often discounted.

Apple’s entry-level MacBook Air 13.3-inch (128GB, 8GB of RAM) will be discounted by $200 at Best Buy on Thanksgiving. Step-up MacBook Air models will also be discounted by $200. If you can live without a high-res Retina screen, this is otherwise a great workhorse laptop.

Apple’s entry-level iPad (the 32GB model) will be on sale for $250 at Target, Best Buy and Walmart. Take your pick.
