UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 1:00 p.m. EST This story has been updated with a new top Apple deal and several new deals on Shark and Dyson hair tools (including the Strawberry Bronze/Blush Pink Airwrap).

After dropping oodles of early deals in the first few weeks of November, Best Buy officially kicked off its 2024 Black Friday sale on Thursday, Nov. 21. The event runs for 10 days on its website, mobile app, and in stores through Saturday, Nov. 30.

The electronics retailer is serving up two kinds of side dishes with its main course. First, its Black Friday deals are joined by revolving rounds of doorbusters that are up for grabs throughout the holiday season. New waves of them get listed on its website every Friday through Dec. 20, with first dibs the Thursdays prior for paid My Best Buy members (Plus and Total tiers).

The current batch of online doorbusters includes a $179.99 55-inch Toshiba 4K Fire TV, $129.99 Beats Powerbeats Pro, a $749 M2 Apple MacBook Air, and a $200 JBL soundbar. Best Buy also surprise-added two Nintendo Switch bundles as doorbusters last weekend, though they’re only available in stores.

The next round of doorbusters will feature the Xbox Series X (2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition), M4 MacBook Pros, the Meta Quest 3, and 65-inch Samsung and Roku TVs. Members can shop the offers now, but everyone else has to wait until tomorrow (aka Black Friday proper).

Best Buy is also planning to release rapid-fire “Flash Deals” as part of its Drops program on Black Friday. These offers will be available in limited quantities for a short while exclusively on the Best Buy mobile app starting at 9 a.m. ET. Shoppers can preview them in the app or on the homepage of Best Buy’s website — look out for the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Copper/Nickel Dyson Corrale.

The Mashable Shopping team is tracking and vetting Best Buy’s Black Friday deals as its sale progresses, and you can check out our running list of the best offers below. Keep in mind that Best Buy offers a Holiday Price Match Guarantee, so if anything you buy there gets cheaper later on, you can request a price adjustment. (We’ve spotted a Ninja air fryer and several Logitech gaming accessories that have dipped in price since the sale started.) The retailer’s extended holiday return and exchange period is also in effect.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🚪 next to them are this week’s limited-time doorbusters. Struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Best Apple deal

Why we like it:

Read Mashable’s full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

Best Buy is kind of getting clobbered in several categories of Apple deals this Black Friday — MacBooks and AirPods, for two — but it is offering one of the best discounts on a current-gen Apple Watch. The new Series 10 model has a thin, lightweight design with a large display and a built-in speaker, health/fitness features like sleep apnea detection and water depth sensing, and speedy charging. If you own a Series 8 or older, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder recommends upgrading to it for that last reason alone. (No need to do so if you already have a Series 9.)

The 42mm size sans cellular connectivity is on sale at Best Buy for $329, which is 18% off its normal list price and its lowest price to date (and also matched at Amazon). Take your pick from three colorways: jet black/black, rose gold/light blush, and silver/denim.

If you’d prefer a slightly bigger case, the 46mm Series 10 is only $30 more this Black Friday.

Best 4K TV deal

Why we like it:

Black Friday is all about huge discounts on huge TVs, and this 85-inch Hisense model is a perfect case in point: Now just $650, it’s far cheaper than any other TV this big — not just at Best Buy, but at Amazon and Walmart, too. (And abnormally-cheap-for-their-size TVs are really more Walmart’s thing.) The fact that it has a bright and vibrant QLED display, not a standard 4K screen, sweetens the deal even further.

Kind of surprised this one wasn’t chosen as a doorbuster, TBH. Let’s call it a hidden gem. If you want to downsize slightly, Best Buy’s Black Friday deal on the 75-inch version drops it down to $449.99 (normally $699.99).

Streaming devices and media players

Best laptop deal

Why we like it:

For early adopters, the all-new Dell XPS 13 is one of two Lunar Lake PCs featured in Best Buy’s Black Friday sale — the other one being the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition; they come equipped with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors designed for AI. We haven’t tested them ourselves just yet (it’s in the works), but their battery life is apparently ridiculous. This is the base configuration with a FHD+ non-touch display, and Dell has rated it at up to 26 hours per charge.

Best Buy marked it down from $1,399.99 to $999.99, which is a 29% savings and its biggest discount since launching in October. For comparison’s sake, the same model is $100 pricier on Dell’s website during its own Black Friday sale.

Best headphone/earbud deal

Why we like them:

Read Mashable’s full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth deemed Bose’s QC Ultra buds “impressive in every way”: They have unrivaled ANC, they last six hours at a time (which you can bump to 24 hours with their included charging case), and they fit as nicely as their name implies. They also have an Immersive Audio feature that shifts sound around you as you move — it’s not a game-changer, but it’s still “really cool,” said Beck Werth, who ultimately rated the QC Ultra Earbuds a 4.6/5. They’re our No. 1 noise-cancelling earbuds and a Mashable Choice Award winner.

They usually retail for $299, but you can snag them on sale at Best Buy for $229 — a 23% savings and their lowest price since launching last fall. Amazon and Bose’s online storefront were both matching that discount when we last checked, FYI.

Best fitness tracker deal

The previous-gen Oura Ring is an excellent fitness wearable with heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, temperature and activity tracking, and a multi-day battery life — all wrapped up in a sleek, durable titanium design. It’s on sale at Best Buy this Black Friday for $50 to $200 off, depending on the style and finish (starting from $249.99).

Best gaming deal

Why we like it:

Read Mashable’s full review of the Alienware m16 R2.

The m16 R2 is a 16-inch PC from Dell’s high-end gaming line. This exact configuration is Mashable’s favorite gaming laptop of 2024 (and there’s a lot of competition out there) — it’s “the ultimate RTX 4070 beast of a gaming laptop you can get,” said Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon. She commended its solid mid-range performance, nice build quality, great keyboard, ample port selection, and its support of Nvidia’s Advanced Optimus feature, which lets users switch to its integrated graphics for everyday (non-gaming) tasks to conserve battery life. She rated it a 4.5/5, which secured it a Mashable Choice Award.

The m16 R2 is now just $1,299.99 at Best Buy (or 32% off its $1,899.99 MSRP), which is a record-low price and an amazing value.

Best action camera deal

Why we like it:

Read Mashable’s full review of the GoPro Hero13 Black.

Yet another Mashable Choice Award winner, GoPro’s latest action camera “is way better than a $400 video camera has any right to be,” wrote Beck Werth (who gave it a 4.7/5). Highlights include “insanely good motion stabilization,” a slow-motion burst mode in 5.3K at 120 fps, and a better battery life than its predecessor. This accessory bundle tacks on a spare Enduro battery, a hand grip, a 64GB microSD card, two curved adhesive mounts, and a camera case.

Best Buy has it on sale for $349.99 (or $100 off) and throws in a free $25 gift card you can put toward other Black Friday deals. Considering the camera itself is on sale separately for $339.99 (typically $399.99), you’re basically robbing Best Buy blind. Note that the GoPro website was offering the same deal at the time of writing, but there’s no gift card freebie offered there.
