Best early Black Friday gadget deals 2025: Over a dozen sales out early
When is Black Friday? Black Friday 2025 falls on November 28, and Cyber Monday (which only became a thing in 2005) follows on December 1. Beat the store chaos and do your shopping from the comfort of your home (or office!).Are gadgets really cheaper during Black Friday? The short answer is yes, gadgets can be significantly cheaper in the run-up to and during Black Friday. It’s a time of year when retailers want to make up for the discounts they offer with a high volume of sales. Yes, price manipulation does happen sometimes, where some brands and retailers increase their prices in advance to make their cuts seem even better, but it happens a lot less these days because there’s more competition and people are getting savvy to it.How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?ZDNET (and I) only writes about the deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or and would recommend wholeheartedly.
