Today’s best deals: Black Friday kicks off with 4K TVs, iPads and more

This week’s Dealmaster reflects the rising tide of early Black Friday deals as they prepare for the potential tsunami in late November. We’re seeing discounts across many of the product categories we’ve come to expect from Black Friday and the holiday season, including a range of Apple devices, Roomba robot vacuums, Google and Amazon smart home devices, and a handful of TVs. 4K, among others. Most of them meet or exceed the lowest prices we’ve tracked on these devices, and many are labeled “Black Friday deals” from Target and Best Buy. Together, that means these are some of the lowest prices we’d expect to see all year. Sure, there will be plenty more discounts on a ton of devices, but you can already grab some solid deals now.

Well-reviewed 4K TVs from Samsung, Sony, and LG are on sale, matching some of their lowest prices, and a bunch of iPads from the past two generations are also at deep discounts. The 2022 iPad Air powered by M1 ($520, $560) and iPad Mini 2021 $400, $460) are both at their lowest prices we’ve seen, but you can also pick up a 2020 iPad Air ($349, $560) for a deep discount, too.

Amazon’s Fire tablets and Echo devices have been discounted to match and, in some cases, exceed the best deals we’ve seen during Prime Day, bringing them in line with what we expect for Black Friday and the season. holidays. We’re also seeing discounts on our favorite streaming sticks like the Google Chromecast 4K with Google TV ($40, $50) and Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($25, $40). We generally recommend Google’s Chromecast on just about any streaming device for its accessible price and streamlined, intuitive features that make it extremely easy and really fun to browse media and find things you’re likely to enjoy. ‘enjoy. Roku’s streaming stick can still deliver the same content (and at a slightly cheaper price), but it’s a much simpler system, closer to the interface of a smart TV than a streaming device.

Elsewhere on the web, we’ve got deals on gaming keyboards and mice from Razer and Logitech, Beats headphones, mesh Wi-Fi solutions from Google and eero, and more. Check out the full curated list below for all the best deals of the week so far.
