At-a-glance Top Black Friday Thunderbolt dock picks: Best overall: Kensington SD5000T5 , $195.90. The latest Thunderbolt 5 hardware at $200 off! Best Thunderbolt 4 dock deal : Ugreen Thunderbolt 4 Dock 8-in-1 , $161.48. Ugreen’s hardware scores well in our reviews. Black Friday deals on laptop docking stations and Thunderbolt docks have begun, and I’m on the hunt for the best docking station sales for the 2025 holiday season. Welcome to Black Week, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. I’ve tracked the best laptop docking-station sales for the past several years. For 2025, I’d expect to see predominantly Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 (the generic equivalent) docks to be on sale this holiday season, since Thunderbolt 5 docks are generally aligned with gaming PCs. I’ve listed each dock deal below, together with an explanation of why I picked them. Although I check multiple retailers and e-tailers, the vast majority of the top deals in years past have been on Amazon. Feel free to review the deals below, or else review my list of the best Thunderbolt docks and check to see how those prices have been affected for Black Friday sales. I’ve attached a FAQ at the end of this page with additional buying advice. How I chose these deals I’ve authored and our list of the best Thunderbolt docks for several years now, personally testing many docks myself. My colleagues at Macworld have done the same . I use my own knowledge of what the MSRP should be for each dock, the quality of the brand and the dock (especially if we’ve tested it or a related dock) as well as its capabilities as guidance for my recommended deals. This year, I made the decision this year to phase out older Thunderbolt 3 docks, as the functionally equivalent Thunderbolt 4 docking stations provide a better experience. Updated on Nov. 28 at 12:11 AM. Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Kensington SD5000T5 , Thunderbolt 5, 140W charging, $195.90 (50% off at Amazon) Ugreen Thunderbolt 4 Dock 8-in-1 , Thunderbolt 4, 85W charging, $161.48 (35% off at Amazon) CalDigit E5 , Thunderbolt 5, 90W charging, $199.99 (29% off at Amazon) OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock , Thunderbolt 4, 90W charging, $179.99 (28% off at Amazon) CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock , Thunderbolt 4, 98W charging, $303.99 (32% off at Amazon) OWC Thunderbolt Hub , Thunderbolt 4, 60W charging, $85.90 (36% off at Amazon) Plugable Dual DisplayPort & HDMI Docking Station , DisplayLink, $103.96 (26% off at Amazon) Anker 778 Thunderbolt 12-in-1 dock , Thunderbolt 4, 100W charging, $223.99 w/$46 coupon (17% off at Amazon) Normally, I wouldn’t think of putting “Thunderbolt 5” and “deal” in the same sentence. But Kensington’s SD5000T5 is a really solid deal for any dock right now, especially if you’re looking to future-proof your desktop. In my experience, Kensington’s SD5000T5 suffered a bit as the first Thunderbolt 5 dock I looked at, though you’re saving $200 alone on this fantastic deal. Note that this dock supports up to three displays via three Thunderbolt 4 ports, with legacy USB-A ports for keyboards and mice. I’d recommend using one of those high-speed TB4 ports as an interface for an external SSD, personally. The other Thunderbolt 5 deal, the CalDigit E5, is a bit more geared toward Mac users but Windows laptop owners will find value there as well. CalDigit’s TS4 is also pretty pricy, but it earned top marks from our sister site, TechAdvisor . This is usually one of those docks everyone wants to buy, and it’s on a decent sale. Otherwise, I think the Ugreen Thunderbolt 4 dock offers the best deal. Our sister site TechAdvisor reviewed the Ugreen 8-in-1 dock we recommend , and assigned it four out of five stars. I reviewed the slightly larger Ugreen Revodok Max 213 myself. I’ll let those reviews speak for what Ugreen’s docks do well. (The 8-in-1 dock was priced at a hair less, or $160, for Amazon’s Prime Day.) I’ve reviewed OWC’s Thunderbolt Go dock , and it earned four out of five stars. It’s $100 off MSRP. OWC’s Thunderbolt 4 dock also performed quite well in TA’s review, too. I reviewed the Anker 778 and loved it — my only criticism was that it was overpriced. Grab this holiday sale and make sure you click the coupon box! A DisplayLink dock or USB-C hub are other alternatives, working equally well with Thunderbolt ports or older laptops with a generic USB-C port instead. One, listed above, is Plugable’s DisplayLink docking station which works on a generic USB-C port but does require a software driver. The other is Anker’s Anker Prime Docking Station is 40% off or $161.49 on Amazon, but that’s a USB-C docking station that uses a 10Gbps connection. Black Friday: The best PC deals around Check out our roundups for the best PC-related deals in a wide variety of categories! Best Amazon Black Friday tech deals Best Buy’s best Black Friday tech deals Best Black Friday laptop deals Best Black Friday Chromebook deals Best Black Friday mini PC deals Best Black Friday desktop computer deals Best Black Friday monitor deals Best Black Friday USB flash drive deals Best Black Friday SSD and storage deals Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Best Black Friday power bank deals Best Black Friday office chair and desk deals Best Black Friday VPN deals FAQ 1. When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Officially, this year’s Black Friday takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. Cyber Monday is the following Monday, or Dec. 1, 2025. Amazon’s Black Week kicks off Nov. 20. 2. What should you pay for a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal on a Thunderbolt dock? Premium Thunderbolt docks usually retail for about $220 to $270 or so, depending upon the features. I usually hope for $200 or less, but we’ll see. Though Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 (and USB3 and USB4) docks all include the same basic feature set, it’s likely that retailers and e-tailers have sold through their old Thunderbolt 3 hardware. (If this confuses you, please see our list of the best Thunderbolt docks and the explanation for the different features.) This probably leaves Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 as the default choice. I recommend one or two deals on Thunderbolt 5 docking stations, but Thunderbolt 5 is a premium platform with little need for you to buy it right now unless you want to future-proof your setup. (Ironically, some of the TB5 dock deals are better than I expected, making this a viable strategy!) Still, based on my reporting, none of the 2026 mobile processor platforms will integrate Thunderbolt 5 directly. That makes Thunderbolt 4 the preferred choice. 3. When do Black Friday deals on Thunderbolt docks begin? Black Friday begun weeks early at several stores. Retailers haven’t been shy about using early sales to unload inventory before the Black Friday craziness begins. Over the years, I’ve found that certain retailers simply outdo others in specific product categories. I routinely search sites like Newegg, B&H, Target, and Walmart, but Amazon typically has the best collection of deals on docking stations of all stripes, including Thunderbolt docks. 4. I have a USB-C port on my laptop. How do I know what to use with it? Consult your laptop’s manual. A Thunderbolt port may be labeled with a small lightning-bolt logo, but that icon can sometimes be used to signal that the port can be used for charging, too. If nothing else, a USB-C dongle/hub will always work with a USB-C port. 5. I still don’t understand the difference between USB-C and Thunderbolt. How does it all work? USB ports have been around for years. USB-C (the oval-shaped port) replaced USB-A (the rectangular port) because USB-C was more versatile, with higher speeds and a reversible port connector. USB-C ports can be rated for either 5Gbps or 10Gbps, just like a normal USB-A port. But some USB-C ports connect to a Thunderbolt chip inside your laptop, and this allows the port to run at a higher 40Gbps speed. Physically, the connector looks exactly the same. It’s just what it can do that’s different. Thunderbolt 5 is slowly entering the market, but with only one or two docks and a tiny number of laptops right now. I thought you wouldn’t see any major sales on Thunderbolt 5 docks this holiday season, but I’ve been since proven wrong! 6. What’s the difference between a USB-C hub and a Thunderbolt dock? Speed and features. A USB-C hub connects to a single 4K (or 1080p) display and provides a mix of ports: USB-A, SD card slots, and so on. You can usually plug your laptop’s USB-C power cable (if it uses one) right into it. A Thunderbolt dock supplies even more bandwidth for more ports. There are two key differences: It has enough bandwidth to drive a pair of 4K displays, and many docks come with their own power supply that can charge your laptop as well as your phone. All that occurs via the Thunderbolt cable that connects your laptop to the dock. 7. My laptop has USB 4, not Thunderbolt. Can I use a Thunderbolt dock? Yes and no. Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 4 all run at 40Gbps across the same connector. USB 4 is identical to Thunderbolt 4. But if your laptop runs USB 4, it won’t “understand” Thunderbolt 3 protocols. USB 4 laptops, which are still rare, have AMD Ryzen chips inside. 8. Is Thunderbolt 4 better than Thunderbolt 3? Physically, they use the same USB-C cable. Functionally, they’re almost the same, and run at the same 40Gbps throughput. Thunderbolt 4 was released almost as a patch to Thunderbolt 3, ensuring that everything worked properly. If your laptop has Thunderbolt, you should be able to buy either a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 dock without any problems. Since Thunderbolt 3 is being phased out, you’ll probably find more discounts on the older Thunderbolt 3 hardware. (For all the gory details, see my roundup of the best Thunderbolt docks .) 9. I own a desktop PC. Do I need a Thunderbolt dock? Possibly. Historically, the back of a desktop has been chock-full of I/O ports, especially DIY models that you build yourself. Desktops usually have extra room for internal SSDs, SD cards, and so on. However, if your desktop lacks these things, and if it includes an external Thunderbolt port, you can always add these additional components externally via Thunderbolt.

Black Friday budget laptop deals If you’re looking for a quality laptop for the day-to-day stuff, you’ve come to the right spot. Personally, I use a low-powered Chromebook for writing and editing reviews, and I couldn’t be happier with it–I just dig the simplicity. Check out the list below. Acer Aspire Premium , AMD Ryzen 3 7330U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $339.99 ($60 off at Amazon) Asus Vivobook 16 (F1605VA‑ES56) , Intel Core i5-13420H/16-inch 1920×1200/16GB RAM/512 GB SSD, $429.99 ($70 off at Amazon) Asus Vivobook 14 , Intel Core i3-1315U processor/14-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/128GB SSD, $269 ($180.99 off at Best Buy) Acer Aspire Go 15 , Intel Core 5 Series 1 1334U processor/15.3-inch 1920×1200 display/8GB RAM/256GB SSD, $399 ($200.99 off at Best Buy) Dell Inspiron 15 , Intel Core i5-1334U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 touchscreen display/8GB RAM/512GB SSD, $377.99 ($252 off at Best Buy) Dell 15 Laptop , Intel Core 3 100U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/512GB SSD, $249.99 ($150 off at Dell) My top pick: The Dell Inspiron 15 should breeze through the usual mix of common computing chores like browsing the web and scrolling through social media feeds. The 15.6-inch 1080p touchscreen is a pleasant surprise (you don’t see touch capability at this price very often!). Pair that with a spacious 512GB SSD and you’re not going to feel cramped for a long while. Black Friday midrange laptop deals Midrange laptops have a little more oomph than their budget brothers. They typically offer more processing power and storage, and prices fall in the $500 to $800 range. Microsoft Surface Laptop (2025) , Snapdragon X Plus processor/13-inch 1920×1280 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/256GB SSD, $549.99 ($350 off at Amazon) Samsung Galaxy Book4 , Intel Core 7 150U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $574.99 ($125 off at Amazon) Asus Vivobook 14 , Snapdragon X Plus processor/14-inch 1920×1200 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $649.99 ($100 off at Amazon) Apple 2025 MacBook Air , M4 chip/13.6-inch 2560×1664 display/16GB RAM/256GB SSD, $749 ($249 off at Amazon) HP OmniBook 5 , Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor/16-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $629.99 ($570 off at Newegg) Dell 16 Plus , Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor/16-inch 2560×1440 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $699.99 ($450 off at Dell) HP OmniBook 7 Laptop , Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor/17.3-inch 1920×1080 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $569.99 ($580 off at HP) My top pick: The Samsung Galaxy Book4 should keep everyday work flowing without any hiccups or snags thanks to its Intel Core 7 150U processor. The roomy 15.6-inch 1080p display should also give you enough room to spread out, whether you’re managing a spreadsheet or juggling documents. Plus, with 16GB on board, you’re getting better longevity down the line as well as smoother multitasking performance. Black Friday gaming laptop deals Calling all gamers! There’s no better time to scoop up a blisteringly fast gaming machine. The laptops below are both powerful and reasonably priced, and should be able to blitz through most games. HP Victus , AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor/RTX 2050 graphics/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/512GB SSD, $555 ($55 off at Amazon) Alienware 16 Aurora , Intel Core 7-240H Series 2 processor/RTX 5060 graphics/16-inch 2560×1600 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,099.98 ($300.01 off at Amazon) Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) , Intel Core i7-14650HX processor/RTX 5060 graphics/16-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,199.99 ($300 off at Amazon) HP Victus , AMD Ryzen 7 7445H processor/RTX 4050 graphics/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $549.99 ($350 off at Best Buy) HP Omen 16 , Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor/RTX 5060 graphics/16-inch 1920×1200 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $999.99 ($480 off at Best Buy) MSI Thin A15 , AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor/RTX 4060 graphics/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $679.99 ($120 off at Newegg) HP Omen Transcend , Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor/RTX 5050 graphics/14-inch 2880×1800 OLED display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,199.99 ($600 off at HP) MSI Katana 15 HX , Intel Core i9 14900HX processor /RTX5070 graphics/15.6-inch 2560×1600 display/32GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1369.99 ($275.08 off at Amazon) My top pick : The MSI Thin A15 delivers the best performance-per-dollar in this lineup. An RTX 4060 is a really good GPU for 1080p gaming, the Ryzen 5 7535HS is plenty snappy for CPU-heavy titles, and 16GB of RAM keeps modern games running smooth. Getting this configuration under $700 is truly awesome. Black Friday premium laptop deals If you’re looking for more premium features like an OLED display or a 2-in-1 form factor, you’ve come to the right spot. Below you’ll find ultra-lightweight machines as well as laptops with high-resolution displays. Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 , Snapdragon X Elite processor/13-inch 2880×1920 OLED display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $999.99 ($500 off at Amazon) Dell 14 Plus , Intel Core Ultra 9 288V processor/14-inch 2560×1600 display/32GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,075 ($324.99 off at Amazon) Microsoft Surface Laptop (2024) , Snapdragon X Elite 12-core processor/13.8-inch 2304×1536 display/16 GB RAM/1 TB SSD, $1,079.99 ($520 off at Amazon) HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 , Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 256V processor/14-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $897.99 ($152 off at Best Buy) Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 , Intel Core Ultra 7 processor/16-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $919.99 ($230 off at Best Buy) Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 2-in-1 , Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 1 155U processor/13.3-inch 2880×1800 OLED touchscreen display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,199.99 ($800 off at Best Buy) MSI Summit A16 AI+ , AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor/16-inch 2560×1600 touchscreen display/32GB RAM/1TB SSD, $949.99 ($750 off at Newegg) Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro , Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor/14-inch 2880×1800 AMOLED touchscreen display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $999.99 ($350 off at Samsung) My top pick : The MSI Summit A16 AI+ offers premium features, oodles of memory and storage, and lightning-fast performance for under $1,000. You’re getting a large, 16-inch 2560×1600 touchscreen (the visuals should be pretty sharp!), a powerful Ryzen AI 9 365 chip (10 cores!) that’ll tear through demanding workloads, a generous 32GB of RAM for smooth multitasking, and a 1TB SSD that’ll provide lots of breathing room for all of your files and programs. Black Friday: The best tech deals around Check out our roundups for the best PC-related deals in a wide variety of categories! Best Amazon Black Friday tech deals Best Black Friday laptop deals Best Black Friday Chromebook deals Best Black Friday mini PC deals Best Black Friday desktop computer deals Best Black Friday monitor deals Best Black Friday USB flash drive deals Best Black Friday SSD and storage deals Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Best Black Friday power bank deals Best Black Friday office chair and desk deals Best Black Friday VPN deals FAQ 1. When is Black Friday 2025? Black Friday 2025 is on Friday, November 28. But make no mistake: The laptop deals have already begun, and the sales event that used to be just a single day might as well be called “Black Week.” 2. When is Cyber Monday 2025? Cyber Monday 2025 is on Monday, December 1. To take advantage of the best deals, we suggest logging on at midnight. This gives you the best chance to snag a deal on something you want before stock runs out. 3. Are Black Friday laptop deals lower quality? No, there’s nothing about the laptops themselves that should suggest you’re buying a poorer quality machine. In fact, we’ve seen some really high-end laptops go on sale this year. That said, when it comes to more “commodity” tech gear—let’s say wireless earbuds—you may find so-called “deals” on low-quality no-name brands rather than the earbud models you’d really be interested in. But when it comes to laptops, we’re only recommending models from the big names like HP, Lenovo, Dell, etc. 4. Are Black Friday laptop deals really worth it? Yes, Black Friday sales do include some great laptops at legitimate discounts. Of course, some retailers will tag a laptop as a “deal,” when in fact the selling price is no different than what the machine sold for most of the the year. But at PCWorld, we do our best to look at pricing histories and highlight the deals that have reached or dropped below all-time-low pricing. 5. Which retailers have the best Black Friday laptop deals? You should definitely scope out Lenovo, HP, Dell, and other laptop manufacturers’ websites. Online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy will also have solid deals, no doubt, but probably not as wide a variety as you’ll find from the manufacturers themselves. 6. Which laptops does PCWorld recommend, the deals notwithstanding? Hey, the site is called PCWorld, so we test and review an insane number of laptops. To see our top picks, you can check out our master list of the best laptops of 2025 . We also have more granular selections for the best laptops under $500 , and the best laptops for students . Come Black Friday, there’s a good chance that many of our picks will be discounted, so if you’re looking for something specific, check out the best-picks articles.

Black Friday: The best tech deals around Best Black Friday laptop deals Best Black Friday Chromebook deals Best Black Friday mini PC deals Best Black Friday monitor deals Best Black Friday USB flash drive deals Best Black Friday SSD and storage deals Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Best Black Friday power bank deals Best Black Friday office chair and desk deals Best Black Friday VPN deals FAQ 1. When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Black Friday 2025 falls on Friday, Nov. 28. Keep your eyes tuned to PCWorld for the best desktop PC deal alerts. We’ll be covering discounts now through November and on to Cyber Monday, Dec. 1. 2. What are good websites to find Black Friday / Cyber Monday computer deals? There are tons of sites that sell computers on Black Friday and Black Monday, but scouring through all of them would take you a lot of time. That’s why we do it for you here and highlight the best deals we find. Even so, you need to be smart about where you look at any given time of the year. During holiday shopping times like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, your best bet is to check first-party vendor websites. These include the retail storefronts of popular computer manufacturers such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo. However, if you can’t find anything you like there, then you can expand your search to reputable third-party retailers such as Amazon, Adorama, Walmart, Best Buy, and Newegg. Oftentimes these websites offer limited “Deal of the Day” or “Flash Deal” type sales in hopes of getting rid of excess stock. Just note that these sites usually offer the best deals on lesser known PC-maker brands, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still good machines. 3. How much processing power will I need in a desktop computer? If you’re after CPU power, look for processors with higher numerical labels. Intel processors are available in the newer Core Ultra 3, 5, 7, or 9, and the older Core i3, i5, i7, and i9. AMD processors are available in the Ryzen 5000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 versions. Generally speaking, the higher the number, the more powerful the CPU for both manufacturers. If you don’t need a ton of power, Intel Core Ultra 5 or Core i5 processors are your best bet, as they offer good performance at a decent price. You can get along just fine with a Core Ultra 3 or Core i3 for basic office and web browsing. A Core Ultra 7 or Core i7 is more suited to gaming and more intense work than everyday tasks. Also, if gaming is your main concern, you may want to consider opting for the older Core i-processors as the newer Core Ultra processors are optimized for AI performance rather than gaming. As for AMD options, the Ryzen 5000 chips rival Intel’s Core i5 as solid all-arounders. If you need more power, the Ryzen 7000 or 8000 chips are well suited for content creation like video editing. Finally, if you’re dealing with 4K video or want peak gaming performance, spring for a Ryzen 9000. 4. What GPU should I get for a desktop computer? If you don’t intend to do any gaming on your computer, then feel free to save some money by going with integrated graphics. However, if you are looking to get your game on, then we recommend at least an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 5060 (or the equivalent Radeon RX 9060) as these are the least expensive discrete graphics cards that can handle 1080p gaming on High graphics settings in most games. For 1440p gaming you’ll typically want to aim for an RTX 4070/5070 (or Radeon RX 9070/XT), and for 4K gaming you’ll need to shell out for at least an RTX 4080/5080 or upgrade to the RTX 4090/5090. Thankfully, the latest-gen GPUs have dropped significantly in price in pre-built systems so opt for those if you have the money and want a performance boost. But if you’re on a tight budget, then opting for a rig with a previous-generation card can allow you to save some money while still providing decent graphics quality. 5. How much memory do I need in a computer? As for RAM, nowadays I think it’s best to shoot for 16GB at the minimum for all systems. If you’re on a budget or just need a basic browsing machine then 8GB may suffice but you’ll likely notice a performance drop if you tend to have multiple applications or browser tabs open. Those looking to do heavy content creation such as video editing should aim for at least 32GB or go for 64GB for 4K editing. 6. What is a good amount of storage for a desktop computer? Storage size is dependent upon your personal needs, but it is generally a good idea to opt for an SSD over a standard HDD as they are much faster and don’t significantly affect the price of a desktop. Before deciding, it’s best to consider what your intended use of the computer will be. Are you just storing documents or doing web browsing? Then something like 512GB will be plenty. If you want to load up a lot of large files such as games or content creation projects, then you’ll need at least 1TB to 2TB of storage. However, just remember that even if your computer doesn’t have enough storage built-in you can always upgrade your SSD or go with an external drive to increase your available storage options. 7. Is now a good time to buy a desktop computer? While the prospect of tariff-induced price increases may seem daunting to consumers, right now is a reasonably good time to buy a new PC. Component prices have generally stabilized in the face of tariffs—with the exception of high-end GPU models—and CPU prices overall generally remain affordable. So if you find a configuration you’re happy with and the pricing is within your budget, go ahead and grab it. If you’re waiting for upcoming releases, you shouldn’t hold your breath. Don’t get caught in the cycle of waiting for the next new thing as something new is always around the corner. Waiting for a new product launch is only beneficial if it’s imminent and there are no good deals available right now. Fortunately, events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer buyers an excellent time to buy the latest components and PC builds at a discount—even in the face of tariffs and supply-chain pressures.

At a glance Top monitor picks: Best office monitor deal: Dell 27-inch QHD IPS monitor with USB-C video for $200 . This thing is great for both desktops and laptops that need a little extra functionality. Best gaming monitor deal: MSI 27-inch 4K IPS monitor for $230 . This is a fantastic upgrade for just about anybody with a gaming PC, and won’t bust your desk. Best OLED monitor deal: Acer 27-inch OLED 1440p 280Hz gaming monitor for $399 . A new OLED monitor under $400 is a rare find, but Acer has one right now, and it’s faster than a lot of the competition. If you want to go really big, a Samsung 49-inch ultrawide is just $850 . We’re coming down to the wire for the post-Thanksgiving consumer rush that is Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We’ve checked all of the deals below for accuracy, value, and, you know, whether they’re actually worth getting in the first place. (We have decades of experience with monitor reviews, so we know our stuffing.) Since deals often come and go as promotions expire or stock runs out, we’ll also be regularly updating our deal picks to make sure they’re fresh. How we choose the best deals When looking for monitors, especially around the holidays, we know that price is the biggest deciding factor. So a good discount is the biggest determination on what makes it on this list. After that it’s specs — a gaming monitor with a faster hertz is better than a slower one at the same size and resolution, USB-C is a great extra especially if it offers power delivery, et cetera. Lastly, we’re looking for reliable name brands. There are a lot of whitebox labels, especially on big markets like Amazon and Walmart, that simply don’t have the history or infrastructure for solid quality assurance and support. Here, in no particular order a very specific and carefully considered order, are the best monitor deals you’ll find before Black Friday. Cheers! This article was last updated at midnight US Pacific time on Thursday, November 28. Best Black Friday standard monitor deals ARZOPA 14-inch 1080p USB-C portable monitor , now $66.49 (5% off at Amazon) Acer 27-inch 1080p IPS 120Hz monitor, refurbished , now $58.35 (61% off at eBay) Acer 27-inch 1440p 180Hz monitor, refurbished , now $132.49 (56% off at eBay) Dell 27-inch QHD IPS USB-C monitor , now $199.98 (18% off at Amazon) Samsung 34-inch 4K ultrawide monitor , now $209.99 (30% off at Amazon) My top pick: If you don’t care about the beep-boops of gaming, there’s no faster way to add utility to your laptop than with a travel-friendly USB-C monitor like the Arzopa portable monitor . The deal on this white-label product is unbeatable — I’ve spent more than that on a hotel breakfast, and it wasn’t anywhere near as good. Samsung’s 34-inch ultrawide is a great way to get into a larger format on a budget. It’s pretty basic, but for extra multi-tasking especially for browser windows and documents, it’s a great upgrade. Best Black Friday gaming monitor deals Acer 27-inch 1440p 180Hz IPS gaming monitor, refurbished, now $111.21 (63% off at eBay) Acer 34-inch 1440p 180Hz gaming monitor, refurbished , now $154.69 (19% off at eBay) LG 32-inch 1440p 180Hz curved gaming monitor, refurbished, now $189.00 (12% off at Walmart) MSI 27-inch 4K IPS 288Hz gaming monitor , now $229.99 (25% off at Newegg) Samsung 55-inch 4K 165Hz mini-LED gaming monitor / TV , now $1699.99 (33% off at Samsung) Asus ROG Strix 27-inch 1440p IPS 180Hz gaming monitor + ROG Ergo monitor arm, now $388.00 (28% off at Amazon) Asus TUF 24-inch1080p IPS 144Hz gaming monitor, now $79.99 (42% off at Amazon) Innocn 49-inch 5120x1440p 120Hz curved gaming monitor, now $599.99 (25% off at Amazon) My top pick: If you crave gaming speed above all else, that Alienware monitor is the way to go. With 360Hz of refresh rate it’s ready to tackle the sweatiest online shooting games, even at a relatively low size and resolution. For a great mix of size, speed, and resolution, I’d hit up the Acer 34-inch ultrawide. The MSI 27-incher has it all, including 4K resolution and the superior colors of IPS…but it’s a little small. Best Black Friday OLED monitor deals Acer 27-inch OLED 1440p 280Hz gaming monitor , now $399.99 (39% off at Best Buy) LG 27-inch OLED 1440p 280Hz gaming monitor , now $549.99 (35% off at Amazon) Samsung 34-inch OLED ultrawide 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor , now $676.99 (52% off at Amazon) Acer 39-inch OLED ultrawide 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor , now $699.99 (42% off at B&H Photo) Samsung 49-inch OLED ultrawide 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor , now $849.99 (53% off at Best Buy) MSI 49-inch OLED ultrawide 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor , now $899.99 (25% off at Amazon) My top pick: If you want the ultimate in gaming prowess and gorgeous picture, only OLED will do. That MSI 27-incher is about as cheap as we’ve seen any new monitors this year, and it’s faster than you might have found in a similar range before. But for the best bang for your buck, I’d step up to the Acer 39-inch model . It has extra space – versus a 34-inch ultrawide – without pushing more pixels. Other best Black Friday tech deals Check out our other roundups for the best PC-related Black Friday deals going on in a wide span of categories! Best Amazon Black Friday tech deals Best Black Friday laptop deals Best Black Friday Chromebook deals Best Black Friday mini PC deals Best Black Friday desktop computer deals Best Black Friday monitor deals Best Black Friday SSD and storage deals Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Best Black Friday power bank deals Best Black Friday office chair and desk deals Best Black Friday VPN deals FAQ 1. When is Black Friday 2025? Black Friday is on Friday, November 28, 2025. If you consider yourself an avid deals hunter, we’d suggest going online in the early hours to take advantage of the best deals. Deals tend to change and expire at a breakneck pace. 2. When is Cyber Monday 2025? Cyber Monday is on Monday, December 1, 2025. For the best deals, we’d recommend logging on at midnight as stock tends to deplete rather quickly. 3. Which Black Friday retailers should I check out? Amazon is going to have a slew of awesome deals. That’s a given. However, for monitors, you should definitely peruse the retail shopping pages of HP , Dell , and Lenovo . Personally, I find myself going directly to the manufacturers more often than not. You can also widen your scope to other online retailers like Best Buy and Newegg . 4. What should I look for in a monitor? Let’s first talk about refresh rate, which is especially important if you’re looking for a gaming monitor. The refresh rate is how fast a monitor can redraw the image on the screen. The faster the refresh rate, the smoother your visuals will look. Most office monitors work well at the standard 60Hz, though you’ll notice smoothness improvements at higher speeds. For competitive first-person shooters, we’d recommend 120Hz as the minimum rate. Anything higher is good enough for the esports realm. Resolution is another important feature to consider. Much like refresh rate, the higher the number, the better. We’re talking about the quality of images and video here. 1080p is the bare minimum for most monitors. However, if you’re a video editor, bumping the resolution up to 4K makes a massive difference as it allows you to see more detail. The final thing is the screen size. 27 inches is the most common and a good size for a home office. For gaming monitors, 24 or 27 inches is best. Sometimes a larger screen causes eye strain, and if you’re going to be staring at one for hours every day, it’s better to go a bit smaller. For 4K monitors, 32 inches is a good option as it gives you quite a bit of screen to work with. 5. Where can I find the highest-rated monitors? PCWorld reviews new monitors every month. So, if you want to see the models we’ve rated the highest, check out our rankings for the best monitors right now . We also have more granular picks on the best gaming monitors , as well as the best 4K monitors for desktop workstations . Come Black Friday, a lot of our top picks may be on sale, so don’t limit your shopping only to the deals we’ve called out above.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 , Snapdragon X Elite processor/13-inch 2880×1920 OLED display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $999.99 ($500 off at Amazon) — If you want premium and portability, this lightweight 2-in-1, with Qualcomm’s latest power efficient yet powerful CPU and a crisp OLED display is it. Best Amazon deals on Chromebooks When shopping for a Chromebook, you want to pay attention to RAM (4GB tolerated, 8GB preferred) and screen resolution — the ideal is 1080p.

This one fits the bill, and has the desired 1080p display. Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (Intel Core i3-N305/8GB RAM/128GB SSD, 14-inch 1080p display), $287.99 at Amazon — Spend a little more money and you get a Plus model with a more powerful CPU. It’s not technically on sale, but it’s a better deal than competing devices. Best Amazon deals on desktop PCs The universe of desktop PCs is broad, so size, use case, and budget are all important factors to consider. Asus GMKtec K12 , Ryzen 7 H 255/Radeon 780M/32GB RAM/512GB SSD, $499.99 (31% off on Amazon) — Mini PCs are all the rage, and this one brings it with a discrete GPU, a rarity for the class. Lenovo 24 AiO , Core i5-1140G7/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/24-inch 1080p display, $599.99 (33% off on Amazon) — We like this all-in-one desktop because it’s backed by the trusty Lenovo brand and features more RAM and onboard storage than most of its peers. Best Amazon deals on monitors If you’re not planning to use your monitor for fast-paced gaming, you can save money opting for more modest specs, such as a lower refresh rate and limited support for Adaptive Sync. LG Samsung 34-inch 4K ultrawide monitor , now $209.99 (30% off at Amazon) — If you’ve been longing to move up to a larger monitor, this somewhat basic 4K monitor is a good way to do that at the right price.

At a glance Top picks for office chair deals Staples Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair , Black – $110 (63% off at Staples) Staples Dexley Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair , Gray – $130 (59% off at Staples) Steelcase Amia – $749 (25% off at Steelcase) Top picks for standing desk deals FlexiSpot E6 Dual-Motor Standing Desk , 55×28 – $246 (34% off at Amazon) FlexiSpot E6 MAX Dual-Motor Standing Desk , 55×28 – $299 (32% off at Amazon) Sure, you could build a box fort on top of your kitchen table, but a standing desk and comfortable office chair don’t have to be excessive splurges. Investing in good ergonomic equipment can be affordable—at least, it can during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. November deals in these categories don’t fly as fast and furious, but a solid handful are worth looking at. How we pick deals : We’ve pulled together our list based on user reviews, technical specs, price trends over the year, and feedback from the PCWorld staff. These are products that we ourselves would buy for our homes. (Or already have!) Updated on November 28, 2025 with current prices. Black Friday 2025 deals on office chairs Staples Cartwright Task Chair , Black – $50 (61% off at Staples) Amazon Basics Mesh Swivel Office Chair , Black – $66 (23% off at Amazon) Staples Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair , Black – $110 (63% off at Staples) Staples Dexley Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair , Gray – $130 (59% off at Staples) Hon Ignition 2.0 Mid Back Task Chair , Black – $320.48 (29% off at Amazon) Steelcase Amia – $749 (25% off at Steelcase) Steelcase Leap – $1,049 (25% off at Steelcase with SoftNext upholstery) Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair – $1,158.75 (25% off at Herman Miller) Herman Miller Aeron Chair – $1,447.50 (25% off at Herman Miller) Both the PCWorld staff and Reddit love Staples’ Hyken desk chair. It’s absurdly affordable but offers features found on more expensive chairs, like adjustable back support. The Staples Dexley is basically the same chair, but more comfortable for those seeking a wider frame. For an upgrade pick, check out the Steelcase Amia, which is on rare discount for Black Friday. It’s built to last and feels great to sit in for long stretches. Meanwhile, if you need more comfort and want a “buy it for life” chair, both Herman Miller and Steelcase have already cut prices on its chairs by 25 percent for Black Friday. They’re spendy, but I can personally vouch for the Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Amia, with the Amia as a great “best budget buy-it-for-life” deal. They really do feel nice to sit in for long stretches. Black Friday 2025 deals on standing desks Dekhaoxe 31″x15″ Adjustable Height Mobile Computer Desk , White – $40 (20% off at Amazon) Claiks 48″x24″ Adjustable electric standing desk , Rusic Brown – $ 94 (21% off at Amazon) Huanuo 48″x24″ Adjustable electric standing desk , Black – $110 (31% off at Amazon) Flexispot EN2 sit-stand desk , 55×28, White – $209 (30% off at Amazon) Vari Essential Electric Standing Desk , 48×26 – $252 (28% off at Vari.com) FlexiSpot E6 Dual-Motor Standing Desk , 55×28 – $246 (34% off at Amazon) FlexiSpot E6 MAX Dual-Motor Standing Desk , 55×28 – $299 (32% off at Amazon) Vari Electric Standing Desk , 54×26 – $450 (35% off at Vari.com) Fezibo Electric Standing Desk , 55×24 — $85.49 (34% off at Amazon) Flexispot is a popular brand on Amazon, and for good reason—their standing desks start at much lower prices than competitors. I’d recommend the E6 model deal, which at under $250 would be my pick for the best standing desk deal. As a dual-motor model, you’ll get a better quality of experience (stability, smoothness), and it’s priced similarly to single-motor models from more expensive competitors. And if you need the desk to bear a ton of weight, you can upgrade to the $299 E6 MAX standing desk deal, which supports up to 330 pounds and is even on wheels for easier mobility. Note: Amazon has many of its Black Friday deals available only to Amazon Prime members. But don’t worry if you’re not one currently! You can sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial to shop, then cancel before you’ll be charged. Standing desks and office chairs FAQ 1. What features should I look for in a standing desk? A dual motor and programmable controls make for a smoother experience overall. With this motor type, the table won’t wobble as much when going up and down. The frames used for dual-motor desks usually are sturdier, too. Meanwhile, having programmable controls lets you easily switch between different specific height positions. It’s a quality-of-life improvement that influences how much you like having a standing desk—manually overseeing the height adjustments can become tedious and even a little annoying over the long haul. 2. What makes for a good office chair? This question is a little tricky to answer, but there are two main things to consider. First, you want enough back support to avoid hunching, while also feeling relaxed while sitting. You also want to avoid pressure on your lower back while in the chair. Office chairs designed for long sitting will have backs and seats shaped to address these issues, in contrast to the flatter surfaces of kitchen and casual desk chairs. Arm rests, head supports, and mesh fabric can also contribute to comfort, depending on your size and how warm you run. When possible, try out these features on a chair a friend owns or on display in a store first, in order to see if you need them. The mesh is particularly good for those who sweat easily. Wheeled legs are also good for easily getting in and out of the chair. You can often upgrade the casters, as Reddit recommends , for an even smoother experience. Be aware that for hard floors, you may need a rug to protect from scratches, and for deep-carpeted floor, you might need a mat for unhindered rolling. 3. How do I know if I’m getting a good deal on standing desks or office chairs during Black Friday/Cyber Monday? For the deals chosen by PCWorld, both the quality of the product and the deal are considered. First and foremost, the desk or chair should be well-regarded. Prices should also be among the lowest we’ve seen, especially within context of a product’s historical cost. If you’re weighing a deal on your own, be aware that many standing desks are rebranded models with slight variations, and so too for cheaper desk chairs. Read the product reviews, and when available, also look at the AI summaries of user reviews—skip anything with a known flaw or high return rates. Ideally, a desk or chair should have both independent reviews and high marks from users.

Be aware, however, that you won’t be able to record events without an Arlo Secure subscription plan, and those start at $10/month or $95.88 per year. The Eufy Indoor Cam E30 costs $35 more, but its local storage option eliminates the need for a subscription, and its pan/tilt motor can patrol an entire room.

The Sync Module XR itself sells for $70, so getting it with a camera for $42 is a steal. If you’re looking for a multi-camera system with local network storage, it’s hard to beat the Baseus 1 Pro , which includes two high-definition cameras and a NAS box with 16GB of storage that can be expanded to 16TB.

Plug in a microSD card for storage–or buy the Eufy HomeBase 3 , on sale at Amazon for 33% off–and you won’t need a cloud subscription. If you’re in the Ring smart home ecosystem, the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is an excellent buy at $100. FAQ 1. When is Black Friday? Black Friday officially starts Friday, November 28 (the day after the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.). But retailers are increasingly reluctant to wait that long for the shopping event to start, and as you can see from the lists above, there are already some great deals to be had. If you see one that’s tempting, you might want to snag it now in case stocks disappear. 2. What is Cyber Monday? And when is it? Retailers created Cyber Monday as a shopping holiday to spur online sales immediately after the Thanksgiving holiday. Many of the deals offered on Black Friday are carried over to Cyber Monday, but some are exclusive to that day. This year, Cyber Monday falls on December 1. 3. Which security cameras does TechHive rate the highest? We cover the security camera market in depth. The best make and model for your home will depend on lots of conditions, including your budget. Our guide to the best home security cameras names our top picks, but it also includes a comprehensive buyers’ guide that will help you determine what you need. 4. Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to get Black Friday deals? Amazon isn’t the only retailer sponsoring Black Friday sales. Everybody is in the game, from Best Buy to Home Depot. Also, this isn’t one of Amazon’s Prime Day sales, so you don’t necessarily need to subscribe to Amazon Prime to get the deals Amazon is offering (you might encounter exceptions). That said, if you do buy from Amazon, a Prime membership will entitle you to free shipping as well as access to Amazon Prime Video (including Thursday Night Football ), Amazon Music, and Prime Gaming. You can sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial if you want to give it a try.

At a glance Top Chromebook picks: Refurbished: Acer Chromebook 315 , $99. Only 4GB of RAM, but that’s a small compromise. Budget: Lenovo IdeaPad 3i , $149.00. Absolutely stellar deal. This is my preferred deal. Midrange: Asus CX14 , $249.00. Faster processor, more storage. Black Friday deals on Chromebooks have begun at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers the week of Thanksgiving. I’ve collected the best Chromebook deals for PCWorld over the past several years (including Black Friday and Prime Day) and these are usually the best deals of the year. I’m seeing a killer Lenovo IdeaPad 3i deal that I’d recommend you buy right now. Check out our list of the best Chromebooks for more ideas. I’ve been tracking Chromebook deals for the past several years, so I have a good idea of what to buy and how much you should pay. Our deals include refurbished Chromebooks, budget Chromebooks with low-end specifications, then midrange Chromebooks which include Google’s premium “Chromebook Plus” devices . In each category, I’ve listed the best Chromebook deals that I can find, followed by an explanation of why I think you should buy them. How I pick deals I lean hard on price, and for this year I’ve added a “refurbished” category that includes Chromebooks that have been returned and inspected, then resold at a lower price. I also believe that the most important features of a Chromebook are its memory (4GB tolerated, 8GB preferred) and its screen resolution and size, with a 1080p screen as a preferred resolution for minimizing eye strain. I care a bit less about the processor type in a Chromebook versus a laptop , but I want one that’s fairly modern. Chromebooks are now supported for several years, so I check the support window but downplay it more than I used to. Deals checked and updated as of 12:00 AM on Nov. 28. Best Black Friday refurbished Chromebook deals Acer Chromebook 315 (Renewed) (Celeron N4500/4GB RAM/64GB SSD, 15.6-inch 1080p display), $99.99 (11% off at Amazon) Acer Chromebook Plus 515 (Restored) , (Core i3-1215U/8GB RAM/128GB SSD/15.6-inch 1080p display), $166.99 (11% off at Walmart) Acer Chromebook Spin 512 (Refurbished) (Celeron N5030/8GB RAM/64GB SSD, 12-inch 1366×912 display), $99.99 at Newegg For this Black Friday, I’m trying something different: adding the option for previously owned, refurbished Chromebooks from Amazon’s Renewed program, which carry a 90-day return period and possibly longer depending upon the item. (Walmart Restored has a 90-day return window.) Use it if you need to! I recommend that you buy the Acer Chromebook Plus 315 as my top pick for a refurbished PC. Amazon offers an unbeatable price, and the only compromise is the 4GB of RAM. Otherwise, the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 looks pretty solid — it’s a midrange Chromebook Plus device at a price that’s just a hair above budget. From a specification standpoint, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about here. Best Black Friday budget Chromebook deals Lenovo IdeaPad 3i , (Celeron N4500, 8GB RAM, 64GB SSD, 15.6-inch 1080p display), $149.00 (19% off at Amazon) Acer Chromebook 315 (Celeron N4500/4GB RAM/64GB SSD, 15.6-inch 1080p display), $119.00 (60% off at Best Buy) Asus CX15 (Celeron N4500/4GB RAM/128GB SSD, 15.6-inch 1080p display), $139.00 (37% off at Walmart) Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (MediaTek Kompanio 520, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD, 14-inch 1080p display), $149.00 (63% off at Best Buy) HP 14-inch Chromebook (Celeron N4500/4GB RAM/64GB SSD, 14-inch 768p display), $119.00 (64% off at Best Buy) The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is your ideal deal: There are no compromises here, at a fantastic price. My recommendation is to buy this Chromebook now, and not worry if some other better deal pops up. Normally, budget Chromebooks are all about the tradeoffs. The other deals listed here typically don’t include 8GB of RAM, which is what I’d prefer — they offer 4GB instead. That limits the number of open tabs at any one time. These entries are very similar, but I’m recommending the Asus CX15 as my second choice because it offers more storage and a three-month trial to Google’s Gemini subscription, which gives it a bit of an edge. But the Acer Chromebook 315 has made a new appearance on the list: $119 is a terrific deal, and that might sway you. The drawback is the 4GB of RAM, which will allow you to open fewer tabs than an 8GB machine, but it’s not an enormous drawback. Don’t be afraid of the Mediatek Kompanio chips — these are just Arm processors, and the Chrome OS runs perfectly well on them. In fact, the Kompanio is a markedly better processor, with lower power consumption (better battery life!) and better performance, too. Why include the Lenovo 14-inch Chromebook at the end? Because the price is actually lower than previous deals I’ve seen. Put another way, Amazon is offering a sale on a sale, though it’s not really advertising it as such. Best Black Friday midrange Chromebook deals Asus CX14 (Intel Core 3 N355/8GB RAM/128GB SSD/14-inch 1080p display), $249.00 (42% off at Best Buy) Asus CM30 (Kompanio 520/8GB RAM/128GB SSD, 10.5-inch 1920×1200 display), $279.00 (18% off at Walmart) Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (Intel Core i3-N305/8GB RAM/128GB SSD, 14-inch 1080p display), $287.99 at Amazon Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus (Core i3-1315U/8GB RAM/128GB SSD, 14-inch 1920×1200 display), $349.00 (42% off at Best Buy) HP 14-inch x360 Chromebook Plus (Core i3-N305, 8GB RAM/128GB UFS, 14-inch 1080p display), $379.00, (32% off at Walmart) Asus Chromebook Plus CX5601 , (Core i3-1215U/8GB RAM/128GB SSD/16-inch 1920×1200 display), $479.99 (32% off at Best Buy) A good midrange or premium Chromebook includes at least 8GB of RAM, a sturdy processor, and a 1080p screen or better. These all qualify. Right now, I’d recommend that you buy the Asus CX14 at the top of the list. In my mind, it offers the best value: It checks all the hardware boxes without asking you to splurge. If you do want to buy up to a Chromebook Plus, the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is the best bet. Weirdly, it’s not marked as a sale, but the “base” price is simply better than other sales on competing devices. Otherwise, either the Lenovo Flex 5i or the HP x360 are good bets for a Chromebook Plus device. ( Do you need a Chromebook Plus? This article helps you answer that question.) The Flex 5i ships with a Gemini Advanced subscription from Google, which includes 2TB of cloud storage and Google’s latest AI model. The Asus CM30 is a tablet, not a clamshell Chromebook, but if you don’t mind that then the specifications are excellent. If you’ve decided that a Chromebook isn’t for you and you’d prefer a laptop instead, check out our Black Friday laptop deals and our Black Friday deals shopping page . Black Friday: The best PC deals around Check out our roundups for the best PC-related deals in a wide variety of categories! Best Amazon Black Friday tech deals Best Black Friday laptop deals Best Black Friday Chromebook deals Best Black Friday mini PC deals Best Black Friday desktop computer deals Best Black Friday monitor deals Best Black Friday USB flash drive deals Best Black Friday SSD and storage deals Best Black Friday Thunderbolt dock deals Best Black Friday power bank deals Best Black Friday office chair and desk deals Best Black Friday VPN deals FAQ 1. When is Black Friday? Officially, this year’s Black Friday takes place on Friday, Nov. 28 2025. Cyber Monday is the following Monday, or Dec. 1, 2025. Amazon’s “Black Week” kicks off Nov. 20. 2. What should you pay for a Black Friday / Cyber Monday Chromebook deal? Watch out for the “sneaky season,” where retailers add sales, then raise prices, and then discount again for Black Friday. Budget Chromebooks should be about $150 or so, perhaps less — but that can mean compromising on some of the features we think you’ll like. We try to include some of these models, though, in case you’re just looking for absolute bottom prices. (Refurbished models can cost even less, and we’ve included them to save you even more money.) Good mainstream Chromebooks now cost about $250 to $350, as noted above — that’s the floor for a Chromebook we’d recommend. A Black Friday or Cyber Monday steal could push prices down even further. 3. What features should I look for in a Black Friday / Cyber Monday Chromebook? We still prioritize three things when looking for a Chromebook deal: memory, the size and resolution of the screen, and the CPU. There’s also one big wrinkle for this year’s Black Friday, and that’s the Chromebook support window. You will still find retailers trying to unload Chromebooks with 4GB of RAM, a 768p screen, and an ancient processor. We will still list products with those specs, if justified, as budget Chromebooks. But we really feel that you deserve a Chromebook with 8GB of RAM, a 1080p screen or better (with screen sizes above 13 inches if possible), and a relatively modern CPU. We don’t put a lot of weight on the CPU, if only because a Chromebook doesn’t need a lot of horsepower behind it. Be aware that “HD” does not mean 1080p! It basically means 768p, which is going to be a bit hard on your eyes. “Full HD” or “FHD” equates to the 1080p display you should get. Our recommended CPUs include Intel Celerons, Intel Pentiums, Intel’s Core chips, AMD’s Ryzen processors, and Arm chips from Mediatek or Qualcomm. All of those have their pros and cons, though the performance differences probably won’t matter as much as additional memory. More memory (8GB rather 4GB of RAM) will allow for more browser tabs and a smoother browser experience. A 1080p screen will offer a comfortable laptop-like viewing experience. Onboard storage really doesn’t matter all that much, though an SSD of at least 32GB is preferable for storing apps, screenshots, and the like. If you’re familiar with our lengthy laptops versus Chromebooks explainer , you know that one of the potential gotchas is buying a Chromebook whose support window expires soon. Google now supports new Chromebooks for up to 10 years, so this is less of a concern. We think this might push prices down, but for very old hardware. We’re trying to watch this. 4. Which Chromebooks does PCWorld rate highest? Our editors regularly review Chromebooks, so make sure to check our rankings of the best Chromebooks . We recommend a wide range of price points, and the article offers a great primer on Chromebook shopping. What’s more, some of our top picks will likely go on sale before or during Black Friday.

At-a-glance Top picks for internal SSD deals Crucial P310 , 1TB Gen 4, Steam Deck size – $85 ( 37% off on Amazon ) Crucial T705 , 2TB Gen 5 – $160 ( 20% off on Amazon ) Samsung 990 Pro , 2TB Gen 4 – $170 ( 26% off on Amazon ) Top picks for external storage deals Crucial X10 , 4TB USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $230 (14% off at Amazon) Seagate Expansion Desktop HDD , 24TB Desktop HDD – $240 (28% off at Best Buy) The outlook for PC component prices look grim for 2026. Storage and RAM in particular is affected, with prices already risen in recent weeks. (Blame AI datacenters.) So in contrast to previous years, Black Friday isn’t merely a time to get a good deal. It could be your last chance for a while to get any kind of decent deal. But with costs having risen overall, it’s that much harder to spot actually good discounts. In fact, some are downright bad. That’s where we come in. Our list of SSD and storage deals are the best you can grab. How we pick deals : I look for drives that are well-rated, popular, and at (or near) all-time low prices. If you see a bargain you like, don’t wait—especially with shortages currently ramping up. The better deals always sell out, and you might end up kicking yourself about missing out. Updated on November 28, 2025 with current pricing. Best Black Friday M.2 NVMe SSD deals 500GB to 1TB NVMe M.2 SSDs Team Group T-Force G50 , 512GB Gen 4 – $40 ( 33% off on Newegg ) Samsung 990 Pro , 1TB Gen 4 – $110 ( 24% off on Newegg ) SK Hynix Platinum P51 , 1TB Gen 5 – $120 ( 29% off on Newegg ) Crucial P310 , 1TB Gen 4, Steam Deck size – $85 ( 37% off on Amazon ) 2TB NVMe M.2 SSDs Crucial T705 , 2TB Gen 5 – $160 ( 20% off on Amazon ) Samsung 990 Pro , 2TB Gen 4 – $170 ( 26% off on Amazon ) SK Hynix Platinum P51 , 2TB Gen 5 – $210 ( 22% off on Newegg ) 4TB NVMe M.2 SSDs Crucial P310 , 4TB Gen 4 – $240 ( 23% off at Best Buy ) Samsung 9100 Pro , 4TB Gen 5 – $370 (21% off at Amazon) This Black Friday definitely feels more subdued for SSD deals, but a few decent deals stand out. For blistering speeds and future-proofing, grab the 2TB Crucial T705, a speed freak in our testing that is now back down to its all-time low price. Meanwhile, the tiny 2230 version of Crucial P310 is a great choice for Steam Deck owners. And though the Samsung 990 Pro has climbed in price (in part due to market factors), you can get its rock-stable reliability at a reasonable discount right now. Best Black Friday deals on general PC storage External SSD storage Crucial X9 , 2TB USB-C 3.2 Portable SSD – $110 (9% off at Amazon) Crucial X10 , 2TB USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $150 (21% off at Amazon) Samsung T9 , 2TB, USB-C 3.2 – $180 (25% off at Amazon) Crucial X9 , 4TB USB-C 3.2 Portable SSD – $199.48 (14% off at Amazon) Crucial X10 , 4TB USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $230 (14% off at Amazon) External HDD storage WD Elements Desktop HDD Storage , 14TB Desktop HDD – $170 (39% off on Western Digital ) Seagate Expansion Desktop HDD , 24TB Desktop HDD – $240 (28% off at Best Buy) WD Elements Desktop HDD Storage , 20TB Desktop HDD – $270 (22% off on Western Digital ) In terms of raw storage capacity, you still can’t beat external hard-disk drives. At just $10 per terabyte, Seagate’s 24TB external hard-disk drive is a monster of a deal, with matching storage capacity. I strongly recommend it as the best discount on an external HDD right now, but if you don’t need as much space or prefer another manufacturer, Western Digital drives are enjoying a decent price cut now, too.. As for external SSDs, a few good deals have finally cropped up at last. My pick: the 4TB Crucial X10, which is twice as fast as the X9 model and earned a score of 4.5 out of 5 in our review . Oh, and it’s weatherproof, with an IP65 rating. FAQ 1. Are Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSD and storage deals worth it? Yes! You can save a significant amount of money during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales—sometimes hundreds of dollars on a high-capacity drive. The trick is to know what’s a good deal, and what’s not. That’s where we come in: We’ve scoured reputable online retailers, looking for demonstrably good hardware with legitimately solid discounts. 2. How much are SSDs and storage on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Prices depend on the usual street or retail price of the SSD model—so type of drive, its capacity, and its speed are all factors. (The only caveat: Those street prices have risen in this past year, due to the AI datacenter boom. Demand from those businesses has been that high.) This year, expect to pay around $100 to $110 for a 1TB NVMe Gen 4 drive, and $130 to $170 for a 2TB NVMe Gen 4 drive. But the easier guideline is to just look for discounts of at least 15 to 20 percent or more, depending on the model. 3. Are Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSDs and storage lower quality? Nope! Unlike other products, storage vendors don’t produce special models for sale periods like Black Friday/Cyber Monday. These are the same models you’d find on a retail shelf or available on a website throughout the rest of the year. 4. What should I look for in a Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSD or storage deal? The best Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals drop prices on SSDs and HDDs from reliable brands. A good discount starts around 15 to 20 percent—and a great deal will be 30 percent or more. Typically, the bigger bargains are higher-capacity SSDs. For the specific brands to watch, stick with known names like Samsung, Crucial, Corsair, SK Hynix, and Western Digital. Kingston, Solidigm, and TeamGroup are also options. The further afield you go, the more likely you’ll end up with underperforming (aka slow) drives. Pay attention to the model, as well. You can often find multiple drives from a single vendor on sale. The usual sweet spots are discounts on high-performing drives rarely on sale and steep price cuts on budget models. 5. What kind of SSD or storage should I buy? This is the big question. If you’re on a budget, and have a laptop or a PC that has space for a 2.5-inch drive, a humble SATA SSD will already feel like a lightning-fast upgrade from a spinning-platter (HDD) boot drive. SATA SSDs also exist in the gumstick M.2 form factor, but they’re rare now that faster NVMe SSDs are common. For those trying to decide between NVMe Gen 4 and NVMe Gen 5 drives, you can buy a Gen 4 drive and still get excellent speed. However, if you need the absolute fastest speeds because you move around large files, then a Gen 5 drive will help better futureproof you. Generally, if you’re building a PC for gaming or light office work, a Gen 4 drive is a fine investment. Still having trouble deciding? You can check out our guide on choosing an SSD for more details about each type of solid-state drive. 6. Which SSDs does PCWorld rate the highest?

When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Black Friday 2025 will fall on Friday, November 28. Keep your eyes tuned to PCWorld for the best deal alerts. We’ll keep them coming through Cyber Monday, December 1. 2. What should I look for in a portable power bank? Quality can differ greatly among power banks, so it’s best to stick to recognizable brands like Anker, Mophie, Belkin, and the like. That said, there are a few things you should always look for when shopping for a power bank. First, make sure the battery pack is Quick Charge 2.0, 3.0, or PD certified. Next, don’t put too much confidence in a company’s claims that it can charge certain devices in a specific amount of time, such as the pack can charge an iPhone 15 in two hours. Focus more on the battery capacity, along with weight and size. Larger capacities in the 20,000 mAh or higher range should be enough for most small devices such as tablets or smartphones. Finally, make sure that the power bank comes with all of the correct connectivity options you need—USB-A or USB-C, etc. 3. What battery capacity should you look for? For a portable power bank that you can easily travel with, you should look for a minimum of 10,000 mAh. Most models these days even offer 20,000 mAh for reasonable prices. The more mAh, the better. Just be sure to weigh your capacity needs against the physical size of the power bank. Generally, the more mAh a power bank has, the larger its physical size and the heavier it is, as well. Therefore, we recommend when looking at a power bank, you first consider the amount of power you need to charge your devices, and then adjust your expectations according to the size and weight you are willing to carry around with you.
