Best Amazon early Black Friday tech deals you can shop today

It might not be a good idea to wait until Black Friday deals come out to grab tech products. That’s why we want to share these fantastic early Amazon Black Friday deals on our favorite tech gadgets — so you can get your shopping done before the incoming feeding frenzy. Last year, there were tons of supply chain issues with many items immediately running out during Black Friday, and that’s likely to repeat this year. Even if you do manage to get lucky and snag some things on the day, there’s a chance that they won’t arrive in time for the holidays.

There’s not a significant price advantage either. Apple products, like Black Friday iPad deals or Black Friday AirPods deals, are some of the most in-demand items on Black Friday. However, the discounts on these items are already so good that it’s better to get them right now at slightly higher prices. What’re a few extra bucks off if you can’t even enjoy your purchases over the holidays?

When we reviewed the Apple AirPods Pro, we called them the “best buds” on the market and praised the overall quality of the listening experience.

The adaptive EQ automatically tunes the music based on your ear shape, resulting in a great listening experience for most people. The AirPods Pro features some of the best active noise cancellation functionality for such a compact package, helping you block out the environment without needing to wear bulky over-ear headphones. They also have a pair of excellent microphones and spectacular call quality, making them perfect for taking phone calls no matter where you are.

A laptop? For just $180? That might seem impossible at first, but the 11-inch Lenovo Chromebook 3 is one of the most affordable laptops we’ve ever seen and one of our favorite Black Friday Chromebook deals. This simple, straightforward device is equipped with Chrome OS, which keeps its costs low while still working perfectly fine for most computing tasks. The 11.6-inch matte display is big enough to use with productivity programs like Office and Google Docs, while the keyboard is stable and surprisingly good for long typing sessions. Best of all, the battery can last for over 10 hours so that you can browse the internet to your heart’s content. This is a perfect laptop for kids who are just starting to use computers for the first time.

If you’re not already running a robot vacuum in your house, you’re missing out. The Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 11S is a perfect way to keep your floors clean, with its powerful suction power, quiet operation, and a robust set of features that will make using it a breeze. One of its best intelligent features is the BoostIQ technology, which temporarily increases suction power when a part of the floor is challenging to clean. The unit is remarkably thin at just 2.85 inches, which helps it get underneath tough spots like beds, tables, and drawers. You can also use the pre-programmed cleaning modes and automatically schedule them in advance to constantly keep your space clean. It also has drop-sensing technology that helps it avoid stairs and ledges.

If you’re an Apple fan looking for a pair of wireless over-ear headphones under $300, then the Beats Studio3 Wireless are a great pick.

You still get the Apple W1 chip and Class 1 Bluetooth connection, so you’ll have seamless pairing and connection with all of your Apple devices. They also have superb audio calibration, and pure adaptive noise canceling that blocks external noise. Their battery can last for up to 22 hours of listening on a single charge, making them a perfect pair for everyday listening. There’s also an array of audio controls on the earcups, so you’ll be able to play or skip the song without opening your phone. This is one of the best Black Friday headphone deals you can find right now.

Home Depot’s “Build Your Own” Black Friday power tool deal is its best-kept secret
Home Depot consumer

Covering cordless power tools during Black Friday is surprisingly fascinating. Of the Black Friday deals I've covered so far this year, both Black Friday cordless drill deals and Black Friday power tool deals have been included included in my retinue, alongside a host of similar articles for our "brother" site The Manual.

There's one deal bundle among them all, however, that I've been utterly fascinated by this whole time. It's what I'm calling Home Depot's "build your own" power tool deal. This intriguing offering, which feels under advertised by Home Depot, seemingly inverts what we think of when we think of power tool deals. Instead of feeling stuck buying buying batteries separately — with a drill, with a big bundle, or with the lucky random battery — you're able (now) to build our deal and get everything you need, at a flat price. This means you can get the exact tool you want, and all the batteries you want with it, for as low as $99. Check it out yourself by tapping the button below, or keep reading to see what makes this deal so unique, how to shop it, and a few suggestions as to what you should buy.

I used CamelCamelCamel to check if these are the best deal prices for Black Friday (they are)

You may or may not know this, but certain online retailers and various small brands will actually increase prices before a huge sale, like early Black Friday sales, actual Black Friday, or even Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. Let's say, for example, they discount the product by $20. Weeks before, they might raise the price by $30 to make the discount look bigger. So, the reality is you're not actually getting a great deal -- they trick you. There is a way to combat this and find the best early Black Friday deals and beyond. There's a tool I use called CamelCamelCamel, which works wonders to help you find the real deals and steals. Well, anyway, I used the tool to find the best deal prices for Black Friday, and the holiday discounts. Let's take a closer look at some of those deals. Spoiler: They're so, so good.
