    The top 5 tech products we want to see discounted for Black Friday (and by how much)

    Black Friday is just around the corner, and there’s no time like the present (pun intended) to start making those holiday shopping lists and checking them twice. And every good gift-giver knows that the best time to score big savings on TVs, headphones, smart accessories, and more is during Cyber Week, which kicks off with Black Friday on Nov. 28 this year. Or is it?Also: Our favorite early Black Friday dealsSuppose you think Black Friday hasn’t been the same since we stopped tackling each other in aisles, queuing over expensive systems and coveted toys, and rushing out to brick-and-mortar stores to hit the midnight sales — and maybe you’re right. The truth is, some of today’s deals are actually quite shady — inflated markups that aren’t necessarily seasonal bargains. As a result, there’s more onus than ever on you as a consumer to vet holiday purchases and prices to make sure they are truly deals worth buying. ZDNET is dedicated to helping you not only find the best tech products, but also get the best deals on them and the most trustworthy places to buy them. Also: Don’t shop Black Friday until you do these 5 simple things (a shopping editor’s advice)I cover deals 24/7, and I’ve watched the prices of popular tech products fluctuate throughout the last 10 or so months this year. I know what’s a reasonable offer, what’s not, and what, quite frankly, misses the mark. That’s why I teamed up with ZDNET’s Editor in Chief, Jason Hiner, to share the top products we hope to see on sale this Black Friday — and why. We analyzed the lowest prices, best discounts, product age, and new product releases to help us narrow down our picks, and with some sales already underway, we’re not sugarcoating anything. We won’t be adding any of these products to our carts unless we see some great prices, and for their sake, we hope these brands are channeling the ghost of Christmas deals’ past this holiday season. Here’s why. Note: All price data was gathered on Nov. 20 from CamelCamelCamel using the respective product links from Amazon.The 5 tech products that need a great Black Friday deal in 2025 More
