Best early Black Friday deals at Best Buy: TVs, laptops, monitors, and more

UPDATE: Nov. 10, 2023, 11:20 a.m. EST This story has been updated.

Best Buy just made a surprise addendum to its early Black Friday programming.

The tech retailer has added even more doorbusters to its website as part of a new 3-Day Sale that’s live through Sunday, Nov. 12, including Black Friday discounts on HP laptops, De’Longhi espresso machines, Vitamix blenders, Garmin smartwatches, PlayStation 5 bundles, and a new Nintendo Switch Joy-Con bundle. This previously unannounced event comes during the second wave of Best Buy’s 2023 holiday calendar, which serves as a lead-up to its full Black Friday sale — a nine-day affair running from Friday, Nov. 17 (or a week before the actual holiday) through Saturday, Nov. 25.

That calendar caps off with a Cyber Monday Savings Event featuring “savings [of] up to 50% on top gifts” from Sunday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Nov. 27 (or actual Cyber Monday), but additional deals will likely succeed it. Last year, Best Buy hosted a series of 24-hour flash sales called 20 Days of Deals throughout December.

Best Buy was the first major retailer to announce its Black Friday plans on Oct. 17 (followed by Target, Walmart, and finally Amazon), and it’s been the busiest so far: Alongside its Black Friday and Cyber Monday events, Best Buy is dishing out elusive releases and exclusive discounts as part of its new app-exclusive Best Buy Drop program throughout the holidays. It’s also hosting a new series of livestream holiday shopping events spotlighting popular gift ideas and some limited-time deals; the next one will air on Best Buy’s TalkShopLive channel on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. ET.

Best Buy’s official Black Friday sale will likely include its most and best discounts of the holiday season, but we strongly recommend looking for items on your wish list there well ahead of time: All Best Buy Black Friday deals (early and not) are available in limited quantities with no rain checks, and items that sell out right away may not get restocked later on. This is especially true for any and all Drops.

Below, we’re keeping a running list of the best early Black Friday deals at Best Buy. Check back often as we update it: Best Buy will continue to drop early Black Friday deals throughout November. (All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨.)

Heads up: Best Buy sometimes messes with products’ original prices, making deals appear better or worse than they actually are, so we cross-check its listings with brand and manufacturer sites whenever possible. As such, you may see some price discrepancies between the MSRPs on its product pages and our (correct) deal breakdowns below.

TV deals

Why we like it

Budget-friendly OLED TVs are relatively rare — as are discounts that exceed the 50% mark among big-name brands like LG. This is a match of a members-only deal we first saw during Best Buy’s 48-Hour Flash Sale in mid-October, which was meant to compete with Prime Big Deal Days (Amazon’s October Prime Day sale).

Laptop deals

Why we like it

If you missed out on the cheap Lenovo Yoga 7i that Best Buy had on sale earlier this week, here’s another stellar deal on a convertible laptop. This 15-inch HP Envy x360 with a new-ish AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor, 16GB of RAM for multitasking, and 512GB of SSD storage features a premium metal design and a backlit keyboard.

Tablet deals

Why we like it

Microsoft’s 13-inch Surface Pro 9 is a premium detachable tablet with an impressive 15-hour battery life, a vibrant 3:2 touchscreen, and crisp 1080p cameras (including a front-facing selfie camera that supports logins via facial recognition). Its 12th-gen Intel processor makes it a little outdated, but it performed well enough in testing to secure a 4/5 rating and an Editors’ Choice Award from our sister site, PCMag. The configuration with an Intel i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage comes with a Surface Pro Keyboard (worth $139.99) at Best Buy, where it’s currently on sale for $999.99 — a 35% total savings.

Monitor deals

Why we like it

Featuring a 2560 x 1440 resolution, HDR10 support, a 165Hz refresh rate, and a peppy 1ms response time, Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey G51C is a solid mid-range gaming monitor that can do justice to AAA games. It’s on sale for $249.99 at Best Buy ahead of Black Friday, which is 29% off and a match of its all-time low price at Amazon. (Note that Best Buy’s original list price is slightly inflated.)

Gaming deals

Why we like it

You’ll need a few spare controllers to play Super Mario Party with pals. This package deal bundles a copy of the game with Red and Blue Joy-Con for just $100, which is $40 less than what you’d pay for them separately. It’s Nintendo‘s first Black Friday offer of the season, and it’s a Best Buy exclusive.

Headphone and earbud deals

Why we like them

These on-ear cans are some of the absolute best wireless headphones under $100: “They provide reasonably good sound quality, allow you to switch between two device audio outputs at once [with a bit of lag], and last days on end,” writes Mashable Shopping Intern Stacia Datskovska, who tested them extensively. They typically retail for $49.95, but Best Buy will give them to you for half off ahead of Black Friday.
