In this week's episode of Ask TG, we share the best Black Friday tech deals, from Apple's must-have MacBook Air and iPad to epic savings on TV and gaming hardware. Thinking about starting a smart home? Now is the best time to get started. Plus, insights on our favorite personal picks-Spoiler alert: Everyone wants a PS5 Pro!
We start with the Apple deals he's eyeing this Black Friday. The result: the M2 MacBook Air and iPad have the perfect balance of performance and price, while the AirPods Pro 2 and Apple Watch Series 10 are also showing attractive discounts.
While Amazon's smart devices like the Amazon Echo Hub are frequently on sale, Black Friday is one of the few times when you can save big on Google's lineup: the Nest Audio smart speaker and Nest Hub Max smart displays, and more are great deals, making it an ideal time to upgrade your smart home setup.
For gamers, the Xbox Series X and S are $50 off, but we recommend buying the Series X if you can. PC gamers, on the other hand, can purchase MSI's Katana 15 AI gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 GPU for $999!
TV fans will find great deals this year on LG's OLEDs, especially the B3 and B4 models. Discounts of up to $400 apply, but inventory moves fast, so be quick if you have one on your wish list.
Finally, we each picked our personal favorite deals. I'm going with TwelveSouth's PlugBug Holiday Deal, the first charger with Apple Find My built in, a lifesaver for anyone who has ever forgotten their charger at a cafe or airport; the DJI Osmo Action 4, also an action camera for $209; and the DJI Osmo Action 5, a $399 camera for $399. The team's general consensus is that the $379 PS5 Slim is the standout, but we expect the shiny new PS5 Pro to be a bargain on Black Friday!
