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 every Friday through Dec. 20, with first dibs the Thursdays prior for paid My Best Buy members (Plus and Total tiers).

Now live for all shoppers, the latest batch of doorbusters features a $179.99 55-inch Toshiba 4K Fire TV, $129.99 Beats Powerbeats Pro, a $580 HP Envy x360 laptop, College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25 for $30 apiece, $80 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with cellular connectivity, half off a JBL soundbar, a $50 JBL portable speaker, and a $200 Therabody massage gun.

Best Buy has also revived several doorbusters from early in the month, like a $550 75-inch Samsung 4K TV, a $749 M2 MacBook Air, a $430 HP Victus gaming laptop, and a $230 Dyson stick vacuum. They’re also open to the general public while supplies last.

Along with another round of doorbusters, Best Buy is planning to release rapid-fire “Flash Deals” as part of its Drops program next Friday, Nov. 29 (aka Black Friday proper). These offers will be available in limited quantities for a short while exclusively on its mobile app starting at 9 a.m. ET, and feature gadgets from brands like Apple, Dyson, Ninja, and Sony.

The Mashable Shopping team will be 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. Its extended holiday return and exchange period is also in effect through Dec. 31.

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.

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M2).

Sleek and lightweight, the previous-generation MacBook Air features a stellar keyboard, an all-day battery life, and an M2 chip that offers plenty of power for everyday tasks. Mashable’s Tech and Games Reporter Alex Perry gave it a 4.6/5 rating in his 2022 review, calling it “the ideal work-from-home (or work-from-wherever, really) companion.” It’s our favorite budget MacBook for most people and a Mashable Choice Award winner.

Apple recently upgraded the base configuration to 16GB of memory, and Best Buy has it on sale for just $749 as a doorbuster during its Black Friday sale (normally $999) — an exact match of the 8GB version’s all-time low. If it sells out there, the same deal was up for grabs on Amazon at the time of writing.

Save $450.00



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).

Why we like it:

The all-new Dell XPS 13 is of two Lunar Lake PCs featured in Best Buy’s Black Friday sale — the other one being the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition — which have Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors designed for AI. We haven’t tested them ourselves just yet, but their battery life is apparently ridiculous. Dell has rated this one (the base configuration with a FHD+ non-touch display) 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 $200 pricier on Dell’s website during its own Black Friday sale.

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the Oura Ring Gen3.

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).

Why we like it

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.

Why we like it:

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

This exact configuration of the Alienware m16 R2 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.

Includes free $25 Best Buy gift card

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.
