Best Buy has a huge list of tech goodies on sale right now, ranging from laptops to gaming accessories and more. We’ve rounded up the top ten best Early Black Friday picks, so don’t wait until you’re digesting your turkey to start shopping. Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale began last Friday and will last until the Monday after Thanksgiving, so you have a lot of time to shop — but the best deals probably won’t stay in stock that long.

With a 15.6-inch screen, a 256GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM, this is a great machine for day-to-day work, but it’s also capable of decent low-level gaming.
If you’re in the market for a new laptop, it’s hard to go wrong with Lenovo. This model is 40% off right now, and available for financing at $25 per month.

With its 4K resolution, and 60Hz refresh rate, this is a great-looking TV that’s only made better by the inclusion of the Amazon Fire interface … and a $285 markdown.
Screen size + features + nearly 50% markdown = a great pick for the family room. It’s easy to navigate through the menus thanks to the Fire TV interface, and you can even use the Alexa Voice Remote to search for new content. If you have a smart home, you can use the TV to control it — it’s a nifty feature. For families with gamers, the 60Hz refresh rate is enough to provide smooth gameplay, too.

When it comes to picture quality, few things match an OLED TV — especially at this price. The almost 60% off makes this an absolute steal. The color contrast and accuracy are off the charts and it has practically no blur on the video.
OLED TVs are the creme-de-la-creme for displays. They also tend to carry a higher price tag, which is what makes this deal so appealing: It’s one of the steepest discounts we’ve ever seen on an OLED TV. Just look at the color in the image! Sharp blacks and a gazillion vibrant hues await you with this set.

When you’re in a competitive match, every sound matters. Hearing your opponent’s footsteps can make the difference between victory and defeat. The ANC on these gaming headphones will make it easier to focus on the action, while the long-lasting battery and superior sound quality will satisfy your ears whether you’re watching a movie or playing your favorite game.

The Samsung Q-Series is a great pick both in terms of overall build quality and in how great they sound, and this 50% discount is definitely worth paying attention to.
