Acer Aspire 3 Laptop

This deal beats last year’s Black Friday price by $70. After being a top pick for months, the Acer Aspire 3 is now Honorably Mentioned in our Cheap laptops buying guide. It’s still excellent value for money, with a large screen and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and the elusive headphone jack). It’s also relatively lightweight compared to similarly sized laptops. This model has an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM and a 15.6-inch IPS screen. We wish the speakers were louder and the screen was sharper, but if you’re on a tight budget, it’s hard to get more bang for your buck. You can also upgrade to the latest version Acer aspire 5 for beefier specs for $480 ($219 off), which beats last year’s holiday price and gets you a nicer screen and more RAM.

This offer is available to new, expired, monthly, and trial Walmart+ members. Walmart+ usually costs $98 per year, but it’s currently down to $49 for the first year. It renews automatically, so set a reminder to cancel if you don’t want to pay the full price. But Walmart+ members get early access to Black Friday deals and other special sales, free grocery delivery, free online delivery with no minimum order, and more. You can find out more here.

I tested the sold-out Green Day special edition of this Keurig, which was sent to me as part of the promotion of the band’s Punk Bunny coffee line which includes bagged beans as well as K-cups. While I’m not going to replace my Chemex with this one, there’s a lot to be said for convenience. Fill the water reservoir every few days, fill a cup and press a button. What sets this device apart from other devices in the Keurig line is the ability to brew iced coffee, which is significantly cooler than regular brew and will yield a passable iced coffee when poured over ice and sugar. This blue version is heavily discounted and would make a great gift for someone who doesn’t want to fuss with their coffee and wants lots of flavor options. I mainly use mine to make hot chocolate for my daughter now. —Martin Cizmar

So technically we’ve already seen this sell for $50. The price may be slightly cheaper later this month. But that’s still $8 above last year’s Walmart holiday deal and is a good deal overall. Google does some of the Best smart displays. The second-generation Nest Hub (7/10, WIRED recommends) is one of our favorites. There’s no onboard camera, and a 7-inch screen makes the smart display perfect for a nightstand (especially with its sunrise alarm and sleep tracking capabilities) or front entry ( for easy viewing of weather, smart home gadgets, and more).

That beats last year’s Black Friday price by $5, and all seven available colors are currently on sale at that price. This punchy little speaker is the slightly older version of one of our favorites. It’s water and dust resistant, and the built-in carabiner makes it easy to attach to a backpack or stroller. The small size also makes it perfect for children. The battery lasts about 10 hours per charge, and the sound quality is surprisingly full despite the speaker’s miniature footprint.

The unfortunately named Sony WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED recommends) stay our favorite wireless headphones out of the hundreds we tested. They sold for a slightly lower price, with $298 being the best deal we’ve seen, but last year’s Black Friday sales knocked them down to $328, so I still think this deal is worth checking out. be mentioned. They have excellent sound quality, 30 hours of battery life, excellent noise cancellation and a sleek design. The comfortable fit and intuitive built-in controls complete the listening experience.

Beating Black Friday prices by $20, this is a great deal on the Ninja Creami (6/10, WIRED Review). If you want to make sorbets, ice cream, and sundaes at home, this little countertop appliance will do the trick. A few recipes are included, but you can find many more online (or in the company’s $17 store). cookbookwhich we believe should be included for free). The Ninja Creami takes some trial and error, but once you get the hang of it, you can create your own creations to have a freezer full of goodness at all times. Just be prepared to give up some counter space.

This matches the discount we saw last Black Friday. This tilt-head model isn’t the most powerful KitchenAid mixer, but it’ll still make baking holiday cookies a breeze and has enough strength to knead dough, whip your egg whites, and make perfectly silky buttercream . It’s on sale in lots of fun colors.

That beats last year’s Black Friday discount by $500. The QN900C (8/10, WIRED recommends) is undeniably expensive, but it’s one of the best deals we’ve tracked. It looks beautiful and delivers clear, extremely detailed video quality, with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and some of the smoothest motion processing you’ll ever see. It can also handle resolution up to 8K.
