The best Black Friday 2023 tech deals you can get
The year’s best tech deals on tablets, headphones, smartphones, and more are now here. You can get everything on your holiday shopping list and then some.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday brought deep discounts across a manner of tech devices, from phones and wearables to video games and headphones. Thankfully, if you haven’t already pounced on a deal, you may still be in luck. While many quietly expired in the middle of the night at Cyber Monday’s conclusion, a bunch are soldiering on.
For example, you can still pick up the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, the Xbox Series X bundled with Diablo IV, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe charger, and the new iRobot Roomba j9 at exceptional discounts. So be sure to take one last look around at what Cyber Monday has to offer because, if you’re making a list and checking it twice, it may be one of the last opportunities you’ll have to score an all-time low on certain devices ahead of the holidays.
Cyber Monday deals spotlight
Xbox Series X Diablo IV bundle
The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option. While the Series S is aimed at 1440p performance and takes a disc-less approach, the Series X is focused on fast 4K gameplay. This includes a copy of Diablo IV, the latest installment in Activision Blizzard’s dungeon-crawling series. Read our reviews of the Xbox Series X and Diablo IV.
Dreametech D10 Plus
The D10 Plus is a feature-packed midrange all-rounder and one of the least expensive bots that includes an auto-empty dock, mopping, and mapping. It’s an effective vacuum, but it’s prone to getting stuck. Thankfully, you can set keep-out zones to help with this.
Hulu (12-month subscription, with ads)
Now until 11:59PM PT on November 28th, you can sign up for a year of Hulu’s ad-supported tier for $11.88, which works out to 99 cents a month. The subscription grants you access to over a thousand movies and shows, including Futurama, The Bear, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Abbott Elementary.
Fitbit Charge 6
The Fitbit Charge 6 features a haptic side button, an improved heart rate algorithm, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, and the ability to broadcast your heart rate on certain Bluetooth gym equipment. Read our review.
LG UltraGear 27-inch OLED gaming monitor (27GR95QE-B)
LG’s 27GR95QE-B is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a high-quality 2560 x 1440 OLED panel that supports up to 240Hz refresh for fast performance in competitive games. It has HDMI 2.1 ports with built-in downscaling for making 4K content look good on its 1440p display.
2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS)
The new SE for 2022 borrows a few features from the Series 8, including the same chipset and Crash Detection feature, but it’s an otherwise subtle upgrade from the last-gen SE. Read our review.
Shargeek 130 (aka Storm 2 Slim)
This slimmer 72Wh model ditches the DC barrel jack and second USB-C port but adds larger cells and a higher total output of 130W. You still only get 100W USB-C output, though, and it charges slower at 65W. I prefer the larger one.
Nintendo Switch OLED Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bundle
This Nintendo Switch OLED bundle comes with the Switch OLED along with a digital copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and three months of Nintendo Switch Online’s Individual membership.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe
Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe supports 15W fast wireless charging with MagSafe-compatible iPhones and has a lengthy 6.6-foot built-in cable. Its 15W charging speeds and little kickstand make the BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe the best all-purpose magnetic charging puck.
Victrola Stream Onyx Works with Sonos Turntable
The two-speed Victrola Stream Onyx may be a cheaper alternative to last year’s Stream Carbon, but it still features a carbon tonearm, a metal platter, and the unique ability to stream records straight to a Sonos system.
Audible Premium Plus (four-month subscription)
An Audible Premium Plus subscription grants instant access to thousands of audiobooks and podcasts as well as one premium audiobook a month.
Paramount Plus (three-month subscription, with ads)
New and returning subscribers can get three months of the ad-supported Paramount Plus Essential plan for $1.99 per month instead of $5.99 or three months of Paramount Plus with Showtime for $3.99 a month instead of $11.99. To take advantage of either deal, just use promo code BLACKFRIDAY before December 4th.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (256GB, unlocked)
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks a lot like its predecessor, but it now folds flat thanks to a new hinge with fewer moving parts. It maintains the 7.6-inch inner display and narrow 6.2-inch cover screen, but it now utilizes the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor found in Samsung’s Galaxy S23 phones.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Belkin’s triple charging stand achieves 15W MagSafe wireless iPhone charging speeds and keeps your phone and Apple Watch elevated for easy reading.
Sharge Retro 67
This tiny Mac is powerful enough to charge a Mac — well, a MacBook Air anyhow. It advertises 67W from one port, 45W + 20W from two, or 45W + 15W + the remainder with three. Its Matrix-esque dot readout changes to the number of watts that are currently in use.
Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Charging Stand
Belkin’s cradle-like BoostCharge can supply Android phones, iPhones, and other Qi-equipped devices with up to 10 watts.
Anker 511 Charger (30W)

The best tablet and e-reader deals
Kobo Elipsa 2E
The Kobo Elipsa 2E is an ad-free 10.3-inch e-reader you can write on with the included stylus. It’s our favorite ebook reader for taking notes thanks to useful features like the ability to convert handwriting to typed text and a great selection of pen types.

This tough and textured carrying case is compatible with all current models of the Nintendo Switch and includes a pair of hardened cases for cartridges and microSD cards.
The best robot vacuum deals
iRobot Roomba Combo j7 Plus
This mopping Roomba is down to its lowest-ever price. It’s as good as the j7 Plus, with the bonus of a retractable mop on top that can polish your hard floors as it vacuums. It’s great at avoiding obstacles, features good battery life, and includes an auto-emptying docking station. Read our review.
Roborock S8
For a great robot vacuum that can mop and doesn’t require a huge auto-empty dock, get the Roborock S8. With dual rubber roller brushes, 6,000 Pa suction, and a flat mop that vibrates 3,000 times a second to simulate some good old-fashioned scrubbing, the S8 is a mean cleaning machine. It can sense carpets, lift up its mop, and has Roborock’s best AI-powered obstacle avoidance. There’s still no camera, though. It works as a standalone vacuum or pairs with an auto-empty dock, but you must manually fill its (sizable) water tank.
Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
For $180 at Amazon with on-page coupon, the Yeedi is almost 50 percent off its original price. A brilliant bargain for a robot vac that can avoid most obstacles (not cables or pet waste), pick up pet hair with 3,000 Pa of suction, and mop your floors with an aggressive oscillating action. Read my review.
Shark Ion
A true budget bot with no bells and whistles, just a determination to get the job done. With a two-hour runtime, decent-size bin, and tank-like wheels that can get over most large obstacles, the Shark is a good workhorse for a low price. It’s loud and will get tangled on cables, but the app is easy to use, and it works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice and smart home control.
Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum and Mop
The Shark (also known as the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1) is a cheaper robot that self-empties its bin, vacuums, and mops. It mops very well — doing a swingy, scrubbing movement with its rear end when in “Matrix mode.” You have to manually fill and attach the mop reservoir and empty the bin when it mops — as it only self-empties in vacuum mode, and it can only avoid larger objects.
Roborock Q Revo
This is the first sub-$1,000 bot that can do everything, just not quite as well as the top-of-the-line options. It vacuums, mops, self-empties, fills its mop reservoir, and cleans and dries its oscillating mops. It can map, has virtual keep-out zones, and works with voice assistants. But there’s no AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and its single roller brush isn’t as effective as the double ones on the j7 and S8.

These are Matter-compatible out of the box and have rich colors and a nice range of cool to warm lights. Each LED is individually addressable, allowing for some fun effects. Nanoleaf’s ecosystem is limited when it comes to outdoor lights, but there are lots of indoor options you can sync scenes across.
Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell
Arlo’s wired video doorbell has excellent video quality, wide smart home compatibility, extensive smart alerts, and a square aspect ratio for spotting packages. It suffers from some connectivity issues, requires a subscription for recorded video, and doesn’t have 24/7 recording but does include a pre-roll feature.
Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi
The U-Bolt Pro WiFi is a solid-feeling lock that packs a lot of features into a compact design. Control it with your fingerprint, key, keypad, voice with Alexa or Google, or an app on your phone or Apple Watch.
