Google’s Pixel Fold is now $400 off during Black Friday sales
“I’m thrilled to finally have another tablet-style foldable to compete with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Google actually managed to change things up with its form factor while also delivering a worthy challenger.” – Google Pixel Fold review
$400 off of Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2 for Black Friday!
Walmart AirPods savings see up to $60 off Apple’s earbuds!
TUF to resist Black Friday offer sees this Asus gaming laptop fall by $400!
Gaming laptops and budget-friendly aren’t exactly two things that go hand-in-hand. However, Black Friday is often where these two worlds collide, and the Asus TUF Gaming A17 for just $1,399 at Walmart is a perfect example of just that.
Grab it for its lowest ever price at Walmart now during the brand’s Best Friday sales and you’ll receive a powerful gaming laptop with ray-tracing and DLSS 3.0 capable RTX 4070 graphics, a sizable 17-inch display and the awesome power and efficiency of AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940 HS processor to boot! Check out the deal below:
You can now grab the feature-rich Sony DualSense Controller for less than a standard Xbox Wireless Controller’s price: Just $49 at Amazon!
Believe it or not, that isn’t clickbait, the Sony DualSense Controller is down to just $49 at Amazon.
Don’t have a PS5? Don’t worry about it. Sony’s controller works flawlessly for PC gaming, with titles like Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, F1 23, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II all making use of the DualSense’s unique Adaptive Triggers and Haptic Feedback for deeper immersion in your favorite titles! Check out the deal below!
Get a $75 gift card when picking up a Nintendo Switch OLED from Dell!
It’s the wee early hours but there’s still big savings to be had. The early bird gets the worm on this fantastic deal from Dell: grab yourself a Nintendo Switch OLED for $349 and score a $75 Dell gift card in the process.
We reviewed the Switch OLED on its release, finding it to be a worthy mid-cycle follow up to the original Switch thanks to that gorgeous 7-inch OLED panel. I’d tell you more about the Switch, but I’d have to wrestle it out of the hands of our Laptop Mag Editor in Chief Sherri L. Smith first, who gave the handheld console a solid four our of five-star review.
Check out the deal (and Sherri’s review) below!
“Whether you’re using it as a handheld system or hooking it up to the TV, the Switch OLED is a blast as it offers a healthy library of games.” – Nintendo Switch OLED review
“The MacBook Air with M1 is the best combination of power and endurance — and it achieved this with a fanless design.” — MacBook Air with M1 review
At this point, a Razer laptop is just as iconic as a MacBook.
Save $400 on the HP Envy x360 15.6-inch laptop at Best Buy!
“The HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop will make your digital creator friends green to the gills. This 15.6-inch clamshell convertible provides powerful productivity in a purely portable package, with plenty of battery life to boot.” – HP Envy x360 15 review
Save $300 on the Motorola Razr+ at Best Buy: An affordable foldable!? An affoldable, if you will
Oh look, it’s the world’s most affordable foldable, the Motorola Razr+, just casually shedding $300 off of its asking price like its no big deal. Except it is a big deal, a very big deal.
“So, that’s iPhone 15 Pro — a laundry list of small tweaks and improvements, coming together around a blisteringly fast new piece of Apple silicon to make one of the most impressive phones to come out of Cupertino in years.” — iPhone 15 Pro review
“There are still some things Meta needs to work on like the battery life and room-scale requirements. But for the money, the Meta Quest 2 is the ambassador VR’s been waiting for.” — Meta Quest 2 review
“The Fitbit Charge 6 has been one of my favorite wearable experiences. It’s so sleek and light that it meshes with the wearer and feels like it’s always been part of you.” – Fitbit Charge 6 review
This is my favorite desktop accessory, and it’s now $60 off!
Whether you’re an aspiring Twitch streamer or just like pretty colors adorning your workspace, the HyperX QuadCast S is part lava lamp eye-candy and part high performance condenser microphone.
Which of the two it’s best at is hard to say, but my colleague, Senior Staff Writer Mark Anthony Ramirez, is in full agreement with me when it comes to its impressive performance and dazzling looks. He reviewed the HyperX QuadCast S and gave it four out of five stars in the process.
Amazon’s Black Friday sales are knocking $60 off of the Quadcast S‘ typical $159 asking price, resulting in a hard to pass up $99 price tag. Check it out!
“The HyperX Quadcast S delivers excellent audio quality in a beautiful form factor that’s pleasing to the eye and to the touch.” – HyperX Quadcast S review
18% discount on the Sony WH-1000XM5 bundle is a joy to wallets and ears
Sony’s premium WH-1000XM5 is either the name of a billionaire’s child or the serial number of the terminator that breaks down your front door when AI inevitably gains sentience and overthrows us all.
In actuality, they’re a set of incredible noise-cancelling headphones beloved by many. And by many, I mean anyone with ears. Look up there, that’s Alex Bracetti, he has ears he’d know (we promise).
Alex reviewed the Sony WH-1000XM5 for us last year, giving it an impressive four and a half stars out of five – complimenting their balanced and spacious sound, long battery life, and excellent adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) features in the process. Sound good, right? Well get this…
How about a pair of WH-1000XM5s, a metal alloy headphone stand, and a Knox Gear 4-port USB 3.0 hub bundle? Too rich for your blood? Not anymore. Amazon’s Black Friday sales are chopping 18% off of the WH-1000XM5 bundle‘s price tag! Check it out below!
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 11) now 56% off! Now that’s good business
People hear “business laptop” and picture a clunky, plastic hand me down from the workplace’s IT department. But that couldn’t be further from the case when it comes to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
While Razer laptops are the Ferrari of the laptop world, ThinkPads are a much classier affair. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the Rolls Royce of laptops, exuding class and delivering excellence right across the board – just don’t expect to take it drag racing across your Steam library any time soon). As a bonus to that simile, it also only comes in black.
And during Black Friday, it also comes with a mighty 56% discount. That’s $1,880 in cold hard cash saved, and an excellent business laptop all to yourself. Check it out below!
How do you make the Google Pixel 7a even more enticing? $125 off, that’s how.
The Pixel A-Series of smartphones is known for its incredible value, and even though the Pixel 7a has moved on from the $399/349 price point of its Pixel 3a and 4a predecessors it still tops the list as the best smartphone under $500.
Usually priced at $499, you can snag Google’s impressive Android-backed budget smartphone for just $374 at Amazon or the Google Store today! That’s the lowest we’ve seen this Tensor G2-touting tech fall to so far, and it only bolsters the Pixel 7a’s already impressive price-to-performance pay off! Check it out below!
Handheld PC gaming sounds like an oxymoron, but I assure you it’s real. Not only that, there are some impressive options on the market to enjoy like the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go.
However, no list of great handheld gaming PCs would be complete without mentioning Asus’ ROG Ally. This portable powerhouse has paved new ground with its adoption of AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU, and it’s dazzled the eyes and minds of a number of Laptop Mag staff in our testing.
Interested in picking up one for yourself? The good news is that Best Buy currently have it on sale for just $619. That’s $80 off its usual asking price. Check out the deal below!
Apple MacBook Air M2 down to $1,049 this Black Friday!
Sure, the M3 chip is the hot new thing in town, but that doesn’t negate the incredible potential of Apple’s M2 silicon. The M2 MacBook Air is still a phenomenal machine, and well worth a spot on any buyer’s shortlist.
Thanks to Black Friday, those interested can shave $250 off of the MacBook Air’s usual $1,299 price tag and get to grips with the device we saw as “on the cusp of perfection.” It also scored an impressive four and a half stars out of five from our review. High praise! But also well earned. Check it out below!
“The new M2 chip makes it a bonafide workhorse and who can be mad at over 14 hours of battery life? Nobody, that’s who.” – MacBook Air M2 review
