    When is Black Friday? This year, Black Friday is Nov. 28, 2025 — the day after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday is Dec. 1, 2025. Are tech products really cheaper during Black Friday? We often see some of the lowest prices of the year on tech products like TVs, laptops, and tablets during the Black Friday sales period. How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.  More

    Best early Black Friday Chromebook deals 2025: 15+ sales out early

    When is Black Friday? In 2025, Black Friday is set for Friday, November 28. It’s one of the best times of the year to score deep discounts on Chromebooks from major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. Many of these sales are expected to carry over until Cyber Monday, which is on December 1. Are Chromebooks really cheaper during Black Friday? Absolutely. Chromebooks are almost always cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Week as a whole. Premium models with fast processors or 2-in-1 designs usually receive the best price cuts. They’ll drop hundreds of dollars in price. Some of the midrange models even go below $200. Whether you’re upgrading your old device or buying a lightweight laptop for travel, this shopping weekend is the best time to grab a Chromebook.How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?At ZDNET, we only highlight Chromebook deals worth your money — the same kind we’d consider buying ourselves. For this roundup, I specifically sought out laptops that were 15% off or more. Black Friday is still several weeks away, so the big discounts aren’t available yet. Knowing this, I expanded my search to include lesser discounts to fill out the list. Although some of the price drops aren’t as deep as others, they’re still worth consideration because they offer unique value in other areas.I took into consideration hands-on experience, real-world performance, and customer feedback. Every recommendation featured on this list is backed by careful research and expert insight, so you can shop these early Black Friday sales with confidence. More
