Best Buy started offering Black Friday deals earlier than everyone else (on Halloween — scary!), but at this point in the season, it’s hardly the only store in Black Friday mode. Most major retailers’ holiday discounts are already live well ahead of Black Friday proper on Nov. 28, making the competition pretty ferocious.
After spending way too long combing through Best Buy’s virtual shelves and cross-checking its prices, I can tell you that lots of its Black Friday deals are being one-upped elsewhere. Many big-screen 4K TVs, Beats headphones, Sony portable speakers, robot vacuums, and other gadgets carrying its “Black Friday deal” badge are anywhere from four cents to $84 cheaper at other retailers with overlapping inventories. Amazon is the biggest culprit, as per usual.
Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more
That said, you’d be silly to ignore Best Buy completely this Black Friday. It’s matching its rivals’ prices on a ton of other in-demand products, including Apple MacBook Airs, JBL and Sony headphones, Garmin smartwatches, and De’Longhi espresso machines. It also carries a bunch of TVs and laptops that you won’t find anywhere else, on sale or not, like TCL’s cheapest mini-LED TVs and my favorite Windows ultraportable. (Amazon, Walmart, and Target can’t beat its prices on stuff they don’t stock to begin with.)

If nothing else, keep a lookout for Best Buy’s holiday doorbusters, which typically involve its steepest discounts on popular tech — I’m talking 50% off or more. New ones go live every Friday through Christmas and only hang around until the following Sunday. Through Nov. 28, paid My Best Buy members get a $5 bonus reward for every $50 they spend on doorbusters.
Read on for my list of the very best Black Friday deals at Best Buy. Rest assured that I’ve only included products that aren’t cheaper anywhere else.

Best Buy is selling an even cheaper 13-inch MacBook Air — a $649 M2 model — but the M4 version is a way better buy for only $100 more. It’s 48 percent faster, supports two external displays with its lid open, and has a much nicer 12MP Center Stage webcam. I strongly recommend it for students, but also just anyone who wants a fast, portable Apple laptop. This is its lowest price ever, FYI.

The Zenbook A14 is an amazing ultraportable and the best MacBook Air alternative for Windows users, in my opinion. It’s speedy enough for everyday tasks, offers nearly 22 hours of battery life per charge, and comes with a gorgeous OLED display — something you won’t find on any MacBook (for now). It also has a lighter design and double the starting storage of a current-gen MacBook Air. Now $549.99 (or 45% off), it’s never been cheaper.

QLED TVs with mini-LED backlighting are brighter and more detailed than regular QLED TVs (which are already a step up from your standard LED display). Mashable’s Leah Stodart, our resident TV expert, recommends them for people who watch a lot of sports at night. Best Buy is the only place where you can buy TCL’s entry-level QM5K Series 4K mini-LED TVs, and all models are at least half off right now. The 65-incher, our ideal size for most people, is only $449.99 (normally $899.99).

It’s been several years since the WH-1000XM4s were Sony’s flagship headphones, but we still think they’re worth purchasing in 2025 — especially now that they’re less than half the price of the newer XM5s and XM6s. Best Buy is selling them for just $159.99 (or 54% off) as one of its doorbusters for the weekend of Nov. 21 to 23, matching Amazon’s pricing on a used pair. Paid My Best Buy members get $15 in bonus rewards for purchasing them.

The new JBL Charge 6 is our favorite Bluetooth speaker for most people: It’s “big enough to produce sound that will fill an outdoor party, yet still small enough to live on your bookshelf,” our experts said. It can also charge smartphones, headphones, and other devices via USB-C — very handy. Best Buy, Amazon, and the JBL website all had it on sale for $129.95 at the time of writing (or $70 off). That appears to be an all-time low.

Can’t splurge on a shiny new Apple Watch SE 3 or Oura Ring 4? While both wearables are on sale this Black Friday, neither is as cheap as the Fitbit Inspire 3 (now just $69.95, or 30% off). It’s our No. 1 fitness tracker for shoppers on a budget. According to our experts, “It has a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tracking features, a slim, low-profile design, and a straightforward user interface.”

This cordless number from Shark is our favorite budget stick vacuum for pet hair — it’s a much better buy than Dyson’s V8 or V9 models, said Stodart. (In addition to covering TVs, she’s also our in-house vacuum guru.) Best Buy is matching Amazon‘s Black Friday discount on it, which brings it down to an all-time low price of $148. That’s a 51% savings.

De’Longhi’s entry-level espresso machine has 15 bars of pressure and a built-in frother with two steam settings (one for heating milk and another for making latte art). In the cheapest Black Friday espresso machine deal I’ve encountered so far, it’s on sale for just $150 at Best Buy, as well as on Amazon, Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma, Macy’s, and DeLonghi’s website. It last hit that price in July.
My Best Buy Plus and Total members get a $15 bonus reward for every $125 spent on small kitchen appliances (up to $75).
