Like most major retailers, Best Buy has been offering holiday deals all throughout November. Now that Black Friday is officially here, the competition is more ferocious than ever.

Below, I'm keeping a running list of all the actual best Black Friday deals at Best Buy — the products that aren't cheaper anywhere else, even by a cent or two, if they're available at another retailer. I'm digging through all of its listings and cross-checking them with the competition to make sure they're truly add-to-cart-worthy.

If you shopped at Best Buy earlier this month, rest assured that nearly all of its deals have stayed consistent since its Black Friday sale first went live on Nov. 20. Only a couple of Apple devices have gotten cheaper, and the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds cost $33 less than earlier this week. (You can request a price adjustment for those through Jan. 15 under Best Buy's holiday price match guarantee.) Three on-sale Samsung TVs also now come with free $100 gift cards.

You'll notice I've marked some deals with a door emoji (🚪), which indicates those Best Buy is featuring as doorbusters. They're only live through the end of the day tomorrow (Nov. 29), and paid My Best Buy members get a $5 bonus reward for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25 total).

Stay tuned for Best Buy's Drop of the day, which stars Lego's The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree set ($299.99). It's currently in stock there, so in all likelihood, the Drop will involve some sort of discount. It's a popular set that's not on sale anywhere else, so I'm guessing it'll sell out fast. The Drop will go live on Best Buy's mobile app at 11 a.m. ET sharp.

Best Apple deal

Why we like it

Best Buy is selling an even cheaper 13-inch MacBook Air — a $649 M2 model — but the M4 version is a way better buy for only $100 more. It's 48 percent faster, supports two external displays with its lid open, and has a much nicer 12MP Center Stage webcam. I strongly recommend it for students, but also just anyone who wants a fast, portable Apple laptop. This is its lowest price ever, FYI.

Best Windows laptop deal

Why we like it

The Zenbook A14 is an amazing ultraportable and the best MacBook Air alternative for Windows users, in my opinion. It's speedy enough for everyday tasks, offers nearly 22 hours of battery life per charge, and comes with a gorgeous OLED display — something you won't find on any MacBook (for now). It also has a lighter design and double the starting storage of a current-gen MacBook Air. Now $549.99 (or 45% off), it's never been cheaper.

Best TV deal

TCL 65-inch QM5K Series 4K QD-Mini LED TV
$449.99 at Best Buy
$899.99 Save $450

Why we like it

QLED TVs with mini-LED backlighting are brighter and more detailed than regular QLED TVs (which are already a step up from your standard LED display). Mashable's Leah Stodart, our resident TV expert, recommends them for people who watch a lot of sports at night. Best Buy is the only place where you can buy TCL's entry-level QM5K Series 4K mini-LED TVs, and all models are at least half off right now. The 65-incher, our ideal size for most people, is only $449.99 (normally $899.99).

Best headphones deal

Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones 🚪
$159.99 at Best Buy
$349.99 Save $190
Paid My Best Buy members earn $15 in bonus rewards

Why we like it

It's been several years since the WH-1000XM4s were Sony's flagship headphones, but we still think they're worth purchasing in 2025 — especially now that they're less than half the price of the newer XM5s and XM6s. Best Buy is selling them for just $159.99 (or 54% off) as one of its doorbusters, and paid My Best Buy members get $15 in bonus rewards for purchasing them. They're only available in used condition from Amazon.

Best portable speaker deal

JBL Charge 6
$129.95 at Best Buy
$199.95 Save $70

Why we like it

The new JBL Charge 6 is our favorite Bluetooth speaker for most people: It's "big enough to produce sound that will fill an outdoor party, yet still small enough to live on your bookshelf," our experts said. It can also charge smartphones, headphones, and other devices via USB-C — very handy. Best Buy, Amazon, and the JBL website all had it on sale for $129.95 at the time of writing (or $70 off). That appears to be an all-time low.

Best fitness tracker deal

Fitbit Inspire 3
$69.95 at Best Buy
$99.95 Save $30

Why we like it

Can't splurge on a shiny new Apple Watch SE 3 or Oura Ring 4? While both wearables are on sale this Black Friday, neither is as cheap as the Fitbit Inspire 3 (now just $69.95, or 30% off). It's our No. 1 fitness tracker for shoppers on a budget. According to our experts, "It has a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tracking features, a slim, low-profile design, and a straightforward user interface."

Best gaming deal

"Red Dead Redemption 2" (PS4/PS5)
$14.99 at Best Buy
$59.99 Save $45

Why we like it

RDR2 was a 2018 Game of the Year finalist, and it remains one of the most gorgeous and immersive open-world games ever made. (It's actually a prequel to the original Red Dead game from 2010, which is coming to PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, iOS, and Android on Dec. 2.) Best Buy and Target are the only retailers matching the PlayStation Store's 75% discount on PS4/PS5 copies this Black Friday. The Xbox version is $14.99 on Amazon, though; it's sold out at Best Buy.

Best vacuum deal

Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum
$148 at Best Buy
$299.99 Save $151.99

Why we like it

This cordless number from Shark is our favorite budget stick vacuum for pet hair — it's a much better buy than Dyson's V8 or V9 models, said Stodart. (In addition to covering TVs, she's also our in-house vacuum guru.) Best Buy is matching Amazon's Black Friday discount on it, which brings it down to an all-time low price of $148. That's a 51% savings.

De'Longhi Classic Espresso Machine
$149.95 at Best Buy
$229.95 Save $80

Why we like it

De'Longhi's entry-level espresso machine has 15 bars of pressure and a built-in frother with two steam settings (one for heating milk and another for making latte art). In the cheapest Black Friday espresso machine deal I've encountered so far, it's on sale for just $150 at Best Buy... and at Amazon, Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma, and Macy's. It last hit that price in July.

Why we like it

Shopping for a multi-styler? After testing them both, Mashable's Bethany Allard recommends the Shark FlexStyle over the Dyson Airwrap. It "offers nearly everything the Airwrap does, and then some extras that the Airwrap doesn't, for half the price," she writes. This navy blue FlexStyle bundle is almost a third of the price of an on-sale Airwrap as part of Best Buy's Black Friday sale. (It's $10 cheaper to buy from Best Buy than from Shark itself.) It comes with four attachments meant for straight and wavy hair.
