One note of caution: There are three different Switch models available right now. Nintendo released an upgraded Switch, sometimes referred to as the V2, back in August that cranked up the battery life by about 50% (up to about 9 hours). But the original is still out there, too; it's featured in the Mario Kart bundle described above (and below). And then there's the new Switch Lite -- a smaller, handheld version with a 7-hour battery life.
Before you buy, be aware that you're getting the original version of the Switch, not the new model. Since that means your battery life will be somewhere between 2.5 and 6.5 hours, you probably want to take advantage of this deal only if you mostly plan to keep it docked. For lots of away missions, you might want to pass on this and get the updated Switch. Here's how to tell the difference between the two Switch consoles by looking at the box art.
Nintendo is bundling the download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the first-gen version of the Switch for $300, and throwing in a screen protector as well.
In Nintendo Switch Land, it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland of expired deals and sold out stock. Virtually all of the deals and bundles are gone, but if you're in the market for a Switch Lite, we can still save you $25. GameStop is offering the Lite for its regular price, $200, but is including a $25 gift coupon, which is nearly the same thing as saving 25 bucks.
If you buy online, the coupon code will be emailed within a day after you receive an order confirmation email, In-store customers will get the code printed on their receipt. Either way, you can redeem it through the month of January 2020. Move fast -- this is "while supplies last."

It's rare to see Joy-Cons discounted at Amazon, but right now you can get them for up to $20 off. You can choose from red & blue, neon pink & neon green or gray for this low price, or if snagging blue & neon yellow is important to you, they're selling for $70.
Giant Bomb
Civilization VI is a bona fide strategy classic, and you can get it right now for 67% off. (Its expansions, with loads of extra civs and scenarios, just became available on Switch for $50.)

Update 10:31 a.m. ET: HP raised the price of the 15z up to $449.99. It's still a stellar deal, and we would keep an eye on it to see if it drops again.
Black Friday laptop deals aren't done yet. If you're looking for high-quality computing power at a ridiculous discount, HP has a Black Friday deal with seriously impressive specs.
HP Laptop 15z: was $1,299 now $449 @ HP Save big on this 15-inch laptop for Black Friday. The HP 15z comes with a powerful AMD CPU, 16 GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage for a very low price. View Deal
The $399 deal is for the base model of the 15z Touch, which features an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, AMD Radeon Vega 8 CPU, 16GB RAM and 256GB of SSD storage and a 15.6-inch HD touch display.
For a bit more money, you can get some major upgrades. We'd encourage you to consider spending an extra $50 for a Full HD touch display.
But whichever version you choose, you'll get HP laptop with a top-notch CPU. The laptop's fast charging function is another major perk: HP says it takes just 45 minutes to juice the 15z up 50%.
Apple has officially confirmed its Cyber Monday deals. So what can you expect to save buying from Apple and its biggest retailer partners? Here’s everything you need to know about Apple’s Cyber Monday sales and the best deals you can buy on AirPods, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and the Apple Watch right now.
Apple has announced it will carry over its Black Friday 2019 offer to Cyber Monday 2019. What this amounts to is an Apple Store Gift Card worth up to $200 on select products. That’s ok, but you can do much better looking at the deals Apple retail partners below.
Best Apple Cyber Monday 2019 iPhone Deals
Historically, many of the top iPhone deals sell out on Black Friday with only a small percentage returning on Cyber Monday. As such, while you may see some of these deals again, I’d strongly suggest you jump on these Black Friday deals while you still can:
iPhone 11 Series
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max - $300 gift card with qualified activation - Walmart - shop deal now
Free iPhone 11 when you lease an iPhone 11 series, iPhone XS series or iPhone X - Sprint - shop deal now

Of these, I expect the deals on older iPhones to stick around for Cyber Monday but many of the iPhone 11 series deals will sell out.

I expect Mac/MacBook sales to fluctuate the most of any category. The different specs and generations of MacBooks mean sales will come and go regularly. As such, I would always advise jumping on a deal if you like it, rather than waiting because it may not last long.
I will be extensively tracking Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019 deals and publishing the best offers daily, so be sure to bookmark my page.
We love Black Friday because it's one of those rare times of the year when we know we can find some of our favorite items down to super low prices. And the great part about it is it doesn't have to drain your bank account. There are dozens of ways to save on items that are already known for being affordable!
These deals are surviving the onslaught, too, so we're listing them all out for you. The best deals are on devices that add something new to your life, do something practical, and are already affordable. Check out this list of great products on sale and save some money before the super low prices disappear.
Amazon's Echo Dot is one of the most convenient ways to add voice control to your home, and even at its original $50 price it was one of the most affordable options out there. Now it's down to $22 for Black Friday. You can buy two and still save money. All four colors are on sale so pick your favorite.
I'll be honest, I have like six of these speakers. They're not just super convenient, they're small enough that you don't notice them. It's nice to be able to just ask about the weather or recent news and get a response from anywhere.
$22 $50 $28 off
Hulu streaming app
Streaming is no longer the affordable dream of the future we thought it would be when Netflix first took off. Now we're drowning in a dozen different services each demanding a monthly fee. It's nice to see Hulu taking a stand and giving us a break. Get 12 months of Hulu for $24 total or $1.99 a month.
This deal is good for new customers and customers who haven't watched in a while (more than a year). Also might not work if you used a previous deal. It's amazing savings though and should definitely supplement your streaming habits.
$1.99 a month $5.99 a month $4 a month off
Instant Pot pressure cooker
This one is pushing the limits of that $50 price limit, but if you consider the Instant Pot 6-quart 7-in-1 pressure cooker was selling for as much as $100 at the beginning of the year, that should make you appreciate today's $49 deal even more. You can find this deal at Walmart, or you can upgrade to the 8-quart version, which is on sale for just $15 more.
This pressure cooker adds so many new tools to your kitchen arsenal, it might change the way you cook forever. I bought one just because I'm a terrible cook and this thing can do a lot of the work for me!
$49 $80 $30 off
Fire TV Stick 4K
Whether you've got a 4K TV already or are planning to upgrade to one this holiday season, you'll need access to 4K content. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the most affordable ways to get it along with HDR content. You'll get full access to Amazon's streaming library including all your favorite apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime Video. Plus you can watch whatever 4K content they offer.
These Fire TV Sticks are very simple to use, too. It's mostly just plug and play with a little sign up for all the apps you use. Since the 4K Fire TV Stick has been on sale for a while, it's also back-ordered by a week or so. Order it now though because it won't be this price when it comes back in stock.
$24.99 $50 $25 off
Echo Show 5
The Echo Show 5 has only been around since May and hasn't had a whole lot of time to even go on sale. The drop to $49.99 today is the lowest we have seen. Think of all the things the Echo Dot does then add a video display. If you've got security cameras or a video doorbell, the Echo Show 5 can give you a live feed.
Use the Echo Show 5 in your kitchen to watch recipe videos or just stream some YouTube while you're busy cleaning up. Use it in your living room to get news and weather updates and check on the kids upstairs. Use it in your bedroom to watch shows before bed or see who's at the door without getting up.
$49.99 $90 $40 off
Google Nest Mini
More of a Google Assistant person than an Amazon Alexa person? Don't worry, we got you. The all-new Google Nest Mini is on sale for Black Friday, and you can get one for just $29. That's a little more expensive than the Echo Dot, but this speaker is newer and a serious upgrade over the previous generation.
The Google Nest Mini upgrades Google's most affordable and useful smart speaker in every possible way. It's more powerful, has more connectivity, and at this price you can place a bunch of them throughout your home.
$29 $49 $20 off
Anker 3-in-1 charging cable
Remember when I said a great deal is on a product that's practical? This is probably the most practical item on the list. Anker's Powerline II cable has three different connectors on the end: Lightning, micro USB, and USB-C. You can literally charge everything you own with this one cord. And it's $7 off today.
The default connector is micro USB, but you can just insert a cap with one of the other connectors to easily switch based on the item you want to charge. Keep one of these in your purse or backpack and you'll never have to worry about having the right cable.
$11.24 $18 $7 off
With coupon: AKBF3IN1
Tribit portable Bluetooth speaker
Tribit is probably the best name in audio you've never heard of. The Tribit speakers have only been on the scene for a couple of years, but they are already some of the best around. You will get booming sound out of this small package, and today only you can get it for $27 off its regular price.
This speaker is waterproof and has a 20-hour battery life. With 360-degree sound and XBass tech to really make those lows boom, you will be able to get any party rocking this holiday season.
$42.89 $70 $27 off
Fire 7 Tablet
If you've made it this far, you're probably looking for something that appeals to you. Well, trust me, we've saved the best for last. The Amazon Fire tablets are probably the bargain of Black Friday. The Fire 7 tablet is down to just $29.99. Whether you want one for your kids or just want a simple screen to binge your favorite shows on, this tablet gives you a long-lasting battery, fast processor, and expandable storage for a very affordable price.
You'll also be able to find this deal at Best Buy. It comes in a variety of colors and storage options at both retailers.
$29.99 $50 $20 off
Doggy DNA test
Ok, so maybe this one isn't the most practical Black Friday deal. You know I had to squeeze one in. If you love your dog but you don't know much about his origin story because he's a mutt or you adopted him or whatever the reason, grab the Wisdom Panel 3.0 Canine DNA test. It's $30 off today only and you'll get a ton of information about your dog's ancestry.
This simple test just requires a cheek swap of your dog. You'll get results in about two weeks that include a multitude of reports covering everything from breed to ancestry to specific health issues your dog may be vulnerable to. You'll be able to plan ahead and hopefully learn something new about your favorite good boy.
HP had a brilliant Black Friday deal, where it cut the price of the HP Laptop 15t $1,349.99 down to an astonishingly low $499.99.
The deal has been going wild throughout Black Friday, and all good things must come to an end, and the price has now gone back up to where it was originally.
If you missed out, don't worry, as we have some great alternatives below. Also, make sure you check out our best Black Friday laptop deals page for more great offers that are still live.

TechRadar is scouring every retailer and rounding up all the top deals over the Black Friday period, and we’ve put all the best Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals in easy-to-navigate articles to help you find the bargains you’re looking for.
Apple’s various AirPods models have been among the best-selling products out there during Black Friday 2019. AirPods didn’t really get much of a discount last year, but now there are three different versions available and they’ve all gotten huge price cuts on Amazon. The entry-level AirPods 2 are down to $129, which is even cheaper than they’ve been for the past few days. In fact, they’re so cheap right now that it almost seems like a mistake! AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case get a $45 discount to $154.99, and Apple’s brand new AirPods Pro even have a rare discount on Amazon (ignore that shipping quote because they’ll be delivered much sooner than that, if history is any indication). All three of these models are flying off of Amazon’s virtual shelves since they’re all at all-time low prices, and we would be shocked if they’re still in stock once Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday roll around. In other words… hurry!

Few things are more frustrating than trying to enjoy your favourite music, only to be let down by a sub-standard pair of headphones. Well, now that Black Friday is here, you have the perfect opportunity to upgrade your cans to a better pair.
When it comes to music technology, few brands say ‘luxury’ quite like Bose. There’s nothing gaudy or garish about the US company’s audio equipment; instead, its headphones, speakers and wearables rely on refined aesthetics, advanced technology and sophisticated performance to do their talking.
Bose headphones Black Friday deals: what you should know
Bose products are sure to fly off the proverbial shelves this Black Friday, so it pays to be prepared. To give you an idea of how much you’ll be saving, here are the recommended retail prices for the products we’ve featured in this article. Good luck!
If you fancy getting your hands on some Bose headphones, there’s an impressive range to choose from. No prizes for guessing that the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are a pair of - wait for it - noise cancelling headphones. But these premium over-ear cans, launched in 2019, offer so much more than what it says on the tin.
Not only are there 11 preset levels of noise cancellation, the headphones also boast a proprietary TriPort structure that delivers active noise reduction for enhanced sound quality. A groundbreaking four-microphone system will enable you to take and receive calls, or talk to Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant, with the utmost clarity; while the headphones’ angled ear cups are designed for optimum comfort.
The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are also compatible with Bose AR – the company’s groundbreaking new platform that enables a range of exciting augmented reality experiences through supporting apps.

Bose has also launched a range of cans with ‘Quiet’ in the title. Nothing to do with the volume – merely a hint of what these over-ear noise cancelling headphones are capable of. Launched in 2017, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II offer three levels of industry-leading noise isolation, volume-optimised EQ for quality performance at any sound level, a dual microphone system that enables lucid calls and voice assistance, plus the aforementioned Bose AR augmented reality platform.

If you prefer something lighter, or more discreet, you could plump for a pair of Bose earphones. As the name suggests, the QuietControl 30 wireless noise cancelling earphones enable you to control the level of noise isolation you want – and there’s also a noise-rejecting dual microphone system for when you need to make that important phone call. Supreme comfort is provided by a neckband that conforms to your body, plus snugly fitting StayHear+ QC tips. And ten hours of wireless listening per charge should keep you going throughout those long journeys.

A nice pair of true wireless earphones will help to motivate you for that new year fitness regime, and the Bose SoundSport Free are an excellent choice. Bose’s first true wireless earbuds, they feature volume-optimised EQ and digital signal processing for top-quality sound, a robust Bluetooth antenna for uninterrupted listening, super-comfy StayHear+ Sport tips, and up to five hours of play off a single charge.
