The Best Black Friday Tech Deals, Because It's Time for an Upgrade

Back in the day, we thought the year 2021 would bring us immortality, flying cars, and high-speed trains that crossed the Atlantic. While none of that has come to be, we do live in a time where we have a ton of seriously sick tech at our disposal. Unfortunately, most of it is usually wayyy above our Young Professional budgets. Thankfully, there’s a way to get your hands on some: by taking advantage of all the huge Black Friday deals on electronics. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the best Black Friday tech deals on cameras, laptops, speakers, and more—so you don’t have to risk life and limb to snag a new flat-screen TV or set of AirPods. 

We waded through the virtual swamp of deals, deals, deals to bring you the truly biggest and best Black Friday markdowns and savings that only come on this most glorious shopping holiday. If you've been needing to upgrade your TV, tablet, headphones, or home stereo equipment, this is your moment to cash in on the best Black Friday tech deals of 2021.

A bunch of our favorite electronics retailers will be dishing out discounts this holiday season, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, B&H, JBL, and more. (You should also keep your eyes peeled for deals on noise-canceling headphones, TVs, and Nintendo Switches.)

Oh, and don’t sleep on the best Amazon Black Friday deals, specifically the ones for gaming, including seriously discounted headsets, mouses, and streaming microphones from top-name brands such as Razer.

Amazon is also slinging big savings on noise-cancelling headphones, top-rated iPhone charging cables, GoPro cameras, and more tech goods we’ve been meaning to get.

There are even gaming desks on sale:

Arlo is offering up to $300 off home security systems and wireless cameras.

B&H has some crazy deals on Apple products live now, but in limited supply; snag a gold MacBook for just $799 if you don’t mind that it’s not the totally brand-spankin’-new 2021 model; get $50 off Apple TV 4K.

They also have great deals on tech bits and bobs, like memory cards:

Best Buy—the slinger of pretty much everything your inner gamer, viewer, and web-surfer could ask for—is having a crazy-good early Black Friday Prices Guaranteed promotion. “When you are signed in and purchase an item marked ‘Black Friday Prices Guaranteed,’” the website reads, “and its price goes lower than your purchase price prior to Nov. 26, 2021, you will automatically receive a refund for the difference.” This is your sign to get crankin’ on all of the company’s discounted tech, including the heavily marked-down Apple AirPods Max ($70 off) and Lenovo Intel Yoga Touchscreen Laptop ($400 off).
