- Black Friday is on the horizon, but for some tech deals, you don’t need to wait.
- We’re seeing some of our favorite tech products at their lowest prices, including the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air and the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Black Friday deals are already starting, allowing us to shop more calmly, and avoid the post-Thanksgiving rush that leaves many of us frazzled. As a tech writer who has been covering Black Friday sales for five years, I’ve spotted a few Apple and other tech deals that are worth grabbing now.
For example, Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air is at its lowest price ever of $799. Also at its lowest price is the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which continues to hold steady at $649.
Aside from Apple deals, we’re seeing big discounts on a couple Good Housekeeping Institute-tested picks for music lovers, including the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones (23% off), our best overall noise-canceling headphones, and the Marshall Middleton Bluetooth speaker (38% off), our best indoor wireless speaker.
Don’t wait for Black Friday—these are the best early tech deals to snag before the shopping rush in a few weeks.
What are the best early Black Friday Apple deals?
Expert favorite deal: The 13-inch MacBook Air is at its lowest price ever, with 20% off slashed from its original price. In my experience, this Apple laptop delivers an impressive balance of power, long battery life, and portability. (Note: This was a best-seller for October Prime Day, so we expect this one to sell out on Black Friday.)
