I’ve covered Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for six years—here’s the biggest trend I’ve observed thus far: You don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to start shopping. Online sales begin at the start of November, and tech is one of the most reliable categories to bring down prices early. Deals already have arrived on Samsung Frame TVs, Apple products, and Bose audio. Sometimes they can change or sell out before Black Friday, so if you find a worthwhile price on something you need—or a gift you’ve been eyeing—it may be worth locking it in early.

Best early tech deals

Experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Tech & Engineering Lab evaluate tech products regularly, so I’ve highlighted deals on their top-tested picks, alongside some of my personal favorite standout buys. A few popular tech products and smart home finds are already more than half off, with a few at their lowest prices yet (like Apple’s next-gen AirTag and Ring doorbells). I’ll be tracking the sales throughout the month and updating this list as new deals emerge.

Early Apple deals

Beyond the second-generation AirTag, the AirPods Pro 3 are 20% off, or $49 off their regular price. Our Lab experts named the AirPods Pro 3 our best overall in-ear headphones, praising their sound quality and noise cancellation in testing.

Apple’s other early deals have a smaller percentage off, but they’re nothing to ignore if you’ve been following the news about MacBook and iPad price increases earlier this year. The deal we think is worth considering now is the 2026 13-inch MacBook Air, which is $200 off, matching its October Prime Day price.

Early headphone and home audio deals

The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Headphones (my editor’s go-to headphones for daily use) are 45% off in select colors. Our Lab’s top-rated wireless speaker—the SoundLink Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker (33% off)—won praise for its long battery life, water resistance, and premium sound quality.

Shopping for a budget-friendly option? In our recently published roundup of the best cheap headphones and earbuds, Anker won best value. That is at full price—they’re even more affordable now at 43% off, just $23. For just $2 more, you can get the next model up with noise cancellation.

Early TV deals

Our experts praised the Samsung Frame TV Pro for its 4K picture quality and sleek, gallery-worthy design. The decor-meets-tech hybrid is nearly $800 off the 65-inch size right now. Read our full review of the Samsung Frame TV Pro.

Several other top-tested TVs are also on sale. The Hisense U6 Pro Series Smart Fire TV, our best value pick, delivers good contrast and detail and has an anti-glare screen. The TCL QM8L Series QLED 2026 Smart TV offers a “super-bright, colorful picture at a lower price than many premium OLEDs” and comes in larger sizes up to 98 inches.

Early smart home and security deals

Our Home Care & Cleaning Lab named the Roborock S8 Max Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop its top-tested robot vacuum—and it’s $350 off right now. As temperatures drop, a Nest Smart Thermostat can help you monitor your home’s heating and energy use, and it’s under $100 right now. You can also score a Ring doorbell camera for more than half off.

Early deals on laptops, tablets, and computer accessories

Black Friday is known for big discounts on laptops, computers, and tablets, and some early deals are already worth a look. Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet is more than 50% off and under $100, making it an affordable option for everyday use. Need a new laptop? HP’s 2027 Everyday Laptop Copilot AI is designed for streaming and everyday tasks, and could be a budget-friendly pick for students. For the gamer on your list, Samsung’s 34-inch Odyssey curved monitor is $150 off.
