The best Black Friday tech deals of 2024 from Best Buy

November 29, 2024

Best Buy’s Black Friday deals are in full swing – now’s the time to snag laptops, TVs, streaming devices, Apple gear, and more at significantly cheaper prices than usual.

Of course, not every discount is good, but that’s where we come in. Our pick of the best bargains either scored highly in our reviews or are extremely popular, with discounts that bring them close to or below the previous all-time low price.

Apple device deals

Apple

Sales on Apple products are typically lower, but right now Best Buy has slashed some prices lower for Black Friday. This MacBook Air model, for example, is a solid upgrade if you don’t mind an older laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a still relatively new M2 chip. (Looking for more Apple discounts?

Whether you’re looking for a new laptop or a Chromebook, Best Buy is offering some notable discounts on budget and mid-range models, as well as great deals on premium notebooks. You can also check out our roundups of the best Black Friday laptop deals and the best Black Friday Chromebook deals to find even more bargains to choose from.

Monitor offers

MSI

You can find even more discounts in our roundup of the best Black Friday monitor deals, but Best Buy has several deals worth checking out. Gaming monitors are currently seeing the strongest sales, but you can also snag a solid basic monitor. (Note: A 27-inch 1080p display may not feel dense enough in terms of pixel density to younger eyes, but for us older people it may be more comfortable than a 24-inch screen with the same resolution.)

PC Components Deals

SSD and storage

Newegg and Amazon may dominate PC component sales, but Best Buy is still in the game. For more storage bargains, check out our roundup of the best Black Friday SSD deals.

Streaming device deals

Hate your smart TV’s interface? Or are you looking to add streaming capabilities to an older TV? You can currently purchase a streaming device from Amazon and Roku at all-time low prices. You can still snag a Chromecast at a reasonable discount while supplies last (RIP).

TV offers

TCL S3, 40-inch 1080p Fire TV – $100 ($130 discount)
LG B4, 48-inch OLED 4K webOS TV (2024) – $600 ($200 discount)
TCL F35, 55-inch 4K Fire TV – $180 ($150 discount)
TCL Q7, 55-inch 4K Google TV (2023) – $400 ($200 discount)
Hisense QD5, 65-inch 4K Google TV – $330 ($170 off)
Hisense S7 CanvasTV, 65-inch 4K Google TV – $800 ($500 discount)

You can find TV deals all year round, but Black Friday is one of the better times to shop. The Best Buy offerings include tempting bargains, including a dirt-cheap 1080p TV (yes, they’re still around), one that can double as a picture frame, and an OLED model that’s often preferred as a computer monitor because of its wonderfully deep blacks will have vibrant colors.

FAQ

Are Best Buy’s Black Friday deals really any good?

Some of Best Buy’s deals are pretty good! The hard part is figuring out which ones are the best deals and which ones aren’t, since major retailers generally slash prices on many items. But not all discounts are remarkable and the products are not worth your money either. That’s where we come in – we scour the deals to find good gear at really great prices.

Are Best Buy’s Black Friday deals lower quality?

This depends on the product category. For example, retailers typically offer special models of televisions during Black Friday sales. They’re not always stripped down versions, but you have to look closely at the specs.

For almost everything else, the items are the same as you would find the rest of the year. But that’s exactly why we’re here: We’ve carefully reviewed the product details and total value of the deals listed above so you can shop with more confidence and less hassle.

What Black Friday deals can I expect at Best Buy?

Best Buy offers discounts on most product categories on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. During the rest of the year, Best Buy’s sales aren’t as high as other retailers — because it’s one of the few stores that still has physical locations, it can’t be as aggressive with price cuts. But things get much deeper into the fray in November. The trick is to know which items are also sold by other sellers. For common items like headphones, Amazon Echo speakers, Fitbits, and other consumer electronics, any good discount should match or beat a competing store.

Is there a benefit to shopping at Best Buy on Black Friday?

For people who don’t have an Amazon Prime subscription or can’t trust that deliveries will arrive safely, Best Buy is a convenient way to take advantage of Black Friday discounts. You can order online and then opt for in-store pickup. It may also be easier to make returns since Best Buy also accepts those in-store. However, the answer to this question depends on where you live and what is easiest for you.

But doesn’t Best Buy have a shorter return policy than other stores?

Not during the holidays! During the November 1st to December 31st shopping period, the retailer is extending its returns window to compete with competitors like Amazon. Most purchases are still eligible for a return, but exceptions for certain product types and restocking fees for open items still apply. You can read the full return policy on Best Buy’s website.
