185 Best Black Friday Deals 2022: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Sonos, and More

Update (11/25/22 11:15 am ET): Black Friday is in full swing and the landscape has begun to change. More deals have been added, new items are in stock, some sold out, and we’ve posted a couple breakout posts for the best laptop deals and best deals on Apple devices. We’ll continue to update prices and stock statuses while adding the best new Black Friday deals we can find as they crop up throughout the day.

Black Friday is here and the rush of deals is rising to its peak. We’re constantly updating our list of the best deals as they go live and out of stock. Black Friday and the ensuing days/weeks create a notoriously hectic and overloaded shopping event, but it’s also the best time to find year-long low prices on some of our most highly recommended tech. Naturally, we’ve done days of research and hunting to deliver the best tech deals this event has to offer, and we’ll continue to do so as things change shape through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Each brings its own cascade of new deals.

The biggest retailers and manufacturers, like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, have all posted early Black Friday deals lists. There’s already a lot to highlight for big-ticket items like 4K TVs, Apple iPads, MacBooks, and Surface devices. A range of 4K TVs made our list, from higher-end offerings from Samsung and LG to more reasonably priced options from Vizio, Hisense, TCL, and much more. All of which received strong reviews from trusted sources like Rtings.com, among many others.

If you’re looking for deals on video games and consoles, there’s plenty to explore. Bundle’s on Nintendo Switch, Meta’s Quest VR headset, and Xbox Series S bring some good value with included games and gift cards. Target’s buy-two-get-one-free deal on video games (also running on books) offer a great opportunity to grab hot new games and some classics. Xbox and PlayStation have also launched video game sales in their respective stores, bringing down prices often by 50 percent on a number of in-demand titles.

As for smart home devices like smart speakers, video doorbells, and streaming sticks, Amazon and Google have large chunks of their lineups on sale, matching or beating record lows. Likewise with robot vacuums from Roomba. For stocking stuffers, we have deals on our favorite chargers from Anker, as well as microSD and SSD storage solutions from SanDisk, Western Digital, and Samsung.

Of course, this is just scratching the surface. There are also year-long lows on some of our favorite headphones and wearables, as well as generous discounts on GoPro Hero 11, Pixel 6, and Pixel 7 phones, ad-supported Hulu for $24 a year, and much more. Check the full curated list below.
