Take a look at Micro Center and Newegg’s offerings for sure, but check out our list of Best Buy deals too. PC Components:There’s too much to mention, even in summary! Micro Center of course has let loose with a plethora of excellent CPU deals ($80 for a Ryzen 3 2200G! $140 for a Ryzen 7 1700X! $300 for an Intel Core i7-8700K!), and you can find at least one or two satisfying bargains in every product category. We also favor a $60 HP 20.7-inch 1080p IPS monitor at Best Buy, $170 Asus 24-inch 144Hz 1080p monitor at Best Buy, $330 Asus 24.5-inch 240Hz 1080p FreeSync monitor at Newegg, $350 27-inch 144Hz G-Sync monitor at Best Buy, and $800 Asus 34-inch 100Hz 1440p G-Sync curved monitor at Newegg. (Note that it does lack an HDMI connector you get just DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA.) We particularly like the $120 24-inch Dell UltraSharp monitor at Staples-though an older model, its panel and fully adjustable stand are still excellent, especially for that rock-bottom price. Monitors: The deals are lighter this year, but several juicy ones do exist. Gaming accessories: We found some nice bargains on headsets, mice, controllers, and keyboards, but the best of the bunch is a G.Skill KM780R Ripjaws Cherry MX Red Mechanical Keyboard for just $60 at Newegg and the Logitech 502 Proteus Spectrum for $35 at Amazon and Best Buy. The newer Charge 3, Versa, and Ionic also can be found at good prices at multiple retailers. You can also grab the Jabra Elite 65t, Macworld’s current pick for the best true wireless earbuds, at an all-time low of $120 from Best Buy, and the Apple Airpods for $140 from Newegg (must use coupon code BFAD155 at checkout).įitness trackers: The Fitbit Alta HR is at its lowest price ever ($80, multiple retailers). Aaina Sharma (CC0)īelieve it or not, $20 off a set of Airpods is actually an excellent deal.Īudio: Good deals exist on headphones and portable bluetooth speakers alike, but you can get particularly good prices for the JBL Flip 4 ($60, multiple retailers), Bose SoundLink Micro ($70, Target), and Ultimate Ears Megaboom ($100, Best Buy). Take a look at the actual deals for the full story. If we called out every single great deal below, the list would be pretty unwieldy, so I’ve summarized the outlook for a handful of popular product categories. Update (11/23/18): Added info for B&H, plus Crucial in the “Other deals” section. (Let’s hope this isn’t a sign of bad prices in 2019.) That said, there are still some great discounts out there. On the whole, 2018’s discounts are more conservative than those of previous years-I’m seeing Black Friday-style price drops only on products that a vendor really wants to move, like the Google Home Mini and Amazon Echo Dot. Still, that’s not saying a lot for some product categories (like graphics cards and RAM), where the lowest-known price didn’t dip too much below MSRP before everything went sky-high. The deals I’ve selected are near, at, or below the lowest known price. In each section, we’ve cherry-picked the best bargains for that retailer-so while the price will meet our criteria for a very good price, it may not be the absolute lowest price across the board. We’ve organized our list primarily by store, so that if you have a preferred place to shop, you can easily see what’s available to you. (Or actually do have a price-matching policy.) The best Black Friday 2018 tech deals Stores often start price-matching one another and even undercutting each other, so if a deal you like is at a store you can’t get to easily, it’s worth checking other stores to see if they have price-matched. Note: These prices are the best we’ve seen in the information available in advance.
