Limited-Time Daily Deals (Ends Today)

Daily deals are limited-time offers, so take advantage of these deals before they’re gone. Pro-Tip: Amazon’s daily deals end PST, Best Buy and Woot deals end CST.

TV Deals

The TV market continues to evolve, both in terms of technology and pricing. 4K has replaced 1080p, and 8K is waiting in the wings. The long-running success of liquid crystal display (LCD) screens is increasingly being eroded by affordable competition from OLED panels. Let’s not forget features like HDR or the steady evolution of HDMI cable standards.

And here’s a list of the best pre-Black Friday TV deals you can score now.

Audio Deals

Headphones are great for blocking out the world and letting you enjoy your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook. Sometimes the outside world can bleed through, though, and the sound of planes, traffic, and crowds can cut into your listening experience. If you want to avoid all the noise, consider headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) to really get the job done.

Tablet, Smartphone, Mobile Accessory Deals

There are countless tablets on the market, but which one is right for you? Whether you’re eyeing an iPad or one of the many Android models available, we have a deal for you.

Computer and Accessory Deals

A laptop won’t revolutionize the minutiae of your life the way a smartphone can. You can’t easily whip one out to kill time in the elevator, capture a breathtaking sunset, or pay for a cup of coffee. 

But in the years since smartphones took on all these jobs, laptops have honed their own talents. Amazing battery life and breathtaking screens are now common, if you look in the right place. The graphics muscle to play games at full HD is affordable. And those basic old-guard features that you won’t find on any mobile device, such as touchpads and full-size keyboards, tend to get better with almost every generation.

Apple Deals

Apple rarely discounts its products, but you can find deals from retailers like Amazon with the same AppleCare warranty.

Storage Deals

Looking to upgrade the storage on your computer? Solid state drives (SSD) are much faster and efficient than the older hard disk drives (HDD). External portable SSD drives are much smaller than the HDD equivalent and can typically handle bumps and drops from everyday travel. 

Need more gigabytes? Check out our curated list of HDDs and SSDs.

Home and Kitchen Deals

Whether you’re looking for smart home deals, cordless stick or robot vacuums, or ways to improve your cooking skills, here are some of the deals to make your life more efficient.

Streaming Deals

Speedy internet connections and an abundance of media-streaming devices have accelerated the decline of traditional cable. An increasing number of people are cutting the cord in favor of dedicated streaming alternatives, and you can grab deals on a few of the top offerings now.

Gaming Deals

These devices will help you showcase your setup and improve your skills.
