TV Deals

2026 status: retailers had not published their main Black Friday TV prices as of November 4, 2026. Best Buy's 10-day Black Friday event from November 19 is when its biggest TV doorbusters usually appear.

2025 pattern: TVs saw some of the deepest cuts of the whole sale, especially on mini-LED and OLED models from the current year. Prices reported by TechRadar and Tom's Guide during Black Friday 2025 included:

TV (65-inch)	Black Friday 2025 price reported	Was	Retailer
TCL QM6K mini-LED	$497.99	$647.99	Amazon
TCL QM8K mini-LED	$899.99	$2,499.99	Listed in deal roundups
Samsung S84F OLED	$899.99 to $949	$1,999.99	Best Buy

Samsung QN90F mini-LED	$1,499	$2,499	Best Buy
LG G5 OLED	$1,999	$3,399	Best Buy

These 2025 prices have expired. The 2026 replacements for these models may be priced differently, and last year's models are often cleared out at even lower prices once new ones are on shelves.

TV buying tips

• Check the model year. The same size and brand can come in several generations. Compare model numbers, not just names.
• Watch out for "derivative" models. Some doorbuster TVs are made only for Black Friday and use cheaper parts than similar-looking models. Look up reviews of the exact model number.
• OLED vs mini-LED. OLED gives the best contrast in a dark room. Mini-LED is brighter and often cheaper in large sizes, which suits bright living rooms.
• Measure your space. A larger screen can be the better deal per inch, but check your wall or stand first.

Laptop Deals

2026 so far: MacRumors reported these Amazon prices on November 3, 2026:

• MacBook Neo (256GB): $669.22, down from $699
• 13-inch M5 MacBook Air (16GB/512GB): $1,099.99, about $199 off
• 15-inch M5 MacBook Air (16GB/512GB): $1,299.99, down from $1,499
• M6 Mac mini (16GB/256GB): $779.99, about $119 off

Walmart's early 2026 deals also include Lenovo laptops, according to Analytics Insight, but specific final prices vary by seller and location.

2025 pattern: laptops were one of the first categories to be discounted. In early November 2025, Amazon cut every M4 MacBook Air by $250, bringing the 13-inch model to $749.99 from $999, which MacRumors called a new low. Windows laptops from HP, Lenovo, Dell and Asus were widely discounted at Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon, and budget Chromebooks were common doorbusters.

Laptop buying tips

• Memory and storage first. 16GB of RAM and at least 512GB of storage will keep most laptops useful for longer. Very cheap doorbuster laptops often have 8GB and slow storage.
• Last year's model can be the best value. When a new chip launches, the previous generation is often cut further.
• Office and school laptops: office supply stores such as Office Depot also run Black Friday laptop and printer deals.

Tablet Deals

2026 status: no iPad Black Friday prices had been reported by MacRumors as of November 3, 2026. 2025 pattern: the 11-inch iPad (A16) dropped to $274 at Amazon, $75 off, according to AppleInsider and 9to5Toys, and the 256GB model was $374. Samsung Galaxy Tab and Amazon Fire tablets were also widely discounted, with Fire tablets usually among the cheapest electronics at Amazon during the sale.

If you are buying a tablet for a child, check whether the deal includes a case, and look at kids' editions, which often include a longer warranty.

Other Electronics Worth Watching

• Headphones and earbuds: AirPods Pro 3 were at $199 at Amazon in early November 2026, down from $249.
• Smartwatches: Apple Watch Ultra 4 was $699.99 at Amazon, down from $799 (MacRumors, November 3, 2026).
• Trackers: AirTag 2 was $23, down from $29, in the same report.
• Gaming: consoles are rarely cut much, but bundles with games or gift cards are common on Black Friday.
• Smart home: Amazon Echo, Google and Ring devices are usually heavily discounted by their own makers and big retailers.

Retailer Patterns for Electronics

Best Buy

Best Buy announced its 2026 schedule in late October: early Black Friday deals and doorbusters from November 6, with new deals every Friday, Black Friday deals from November 19 to 28, a Cyber Sunday and Monday event, Cyber Week deals from December 1 to 6, and last-minute savings from December 18 to 24. My Best Buy Plus and Total members get added rewards. Best Buy also offers a holiday price match guarantee and extended holiday returns, but check the exact 2026 terms, as major appliances and activated devices such as phones are usually excluded. See our Best Buy promo codes.

Amazon

Amazon had the lowest early prices on several Apple products in early November 2026. Its 2026 Black Friday dates have not been announced. Amazon's holiday return window lets most items bought from November 1 to December 31, 2026 be returned until January 31, 2027. Buy from Amazon itself or the brand's official store when you can. See our Amazon coupons page.

Walmart

Walmart's three 2026 events are Early Black Friday Deals on November 12 to 15, Black Friday Deals on November 23 to 29, and Cyber Monday on November 30 to December 2. Walmart+ members get early access to select deals. Walmart is often strongest on budget TVs and laptops. See our Walmart coupons page.

Target

Target's Early Black Friday sale runs November 5 to 7, 2026, with Deal of the Day offers through December 24. If Target lowers its own price on an item you bought on or before December 24, 2026, you can claim the difference. See our Target coupon codes.

Refurbished and marketplaces

Refurbished laptops, tablets and phones can cost much less than new. On marketplaces such as eBay, check the seller rating, warranty, battery condition and return policy before you buy.

When to Buy Each Type of Electronics

Category	Usual best timing (based on 2025)
TVs	Black Friday week, especially Thanksgiving evening to Black Friday
Laptops	Early November to Black Friday; many deals appear early
Tablets	Week of Thanksgiving
Headphones and smartwatches	Early November to Cyber Monday

How to Get the Best Electronics Deal

1. Make a list with model numbers. Decide what you need before the sales start, so you can compare the same product across stores.
2. Buy early where you can get a price adjustment. Target matches its own price drops through December 24, and Best Buy has a holiday price match guarantee.
3. Check price history. A big "was" price does not always mean a real saving. Compare with recent lows like those in this guide.
4. Read the return policy. Holiday windows are longer, but phones, activated devices and some Apple products have shorter deadlines.
5. Look for extra savings. Store cards, rewards and coupons can sometimes stack with sale prices. Check our Black Friday deals page, and note that many coupons exclude Apple and some brands.
