I might as well call this Black Friday month because that's the all-encompassing event that usually delivers the savings we've been waiting for. Black Friday officially starts on Friday, November 29, 2024, with Cyber Monday following on December 2 to further encroach on the excitement of the holidays. Still, it's the best time to grab a bargain on the usually-expensive tech on the wishlists of your favorite people (or yourself if you're craving some self-care.)
Most retailers aren't willing to wait until Black Friday to launch deals, as usual, and plenty of price-crunching discounts are already live. My colleagues highlight their favorite deals under individual spotlights with breakdowns and explanations of what makes them great, but I'm hand-picking the biggest and best for a curated list here — let's get right to the point.

When does Black Friday 2024 start?
Black Friday starts on November 29, 2024, the last Friday of the month, and immediately follows Thanksgiving. It's not a strictly timed event, and retailers practically never wait until the official date to launch their lowest-ever price discounts. Similarly, deals often run past Black Friday and can remain live for an entire week or more, depending on stock levels, but the hottest discounts usually sell out fast.
We'll check every deal to see if it's a historically low price, but other savings will still be listed if they're a great deal. Again, not every deal will place a product at an all-time low, but hardware that sees more infrequent discounts will always be shared here.
Although some storefronts label their deals with tags like 'Black Friday,' it's not guaranteed that the price won't drop again. Unfortunately, it's impossible to say whether a hot item will fall further in price.
Still, some third-party stores like Newegg offer a price drop guarantee that will reimburse you if you purchase within this window, and many retailers offer membership programs that can expand your returns window, so check our explainers for more information before buying.
When does Cyber Monday start?
Cyber Monday always follows Black Friday and lands on December 2, 2024, this time. It primarily focuses on digital storefronts rather than physical stores, with discounts typically expiring as the Monday ends. However, I've seen some persist until stock sells out, just like Black Friday.
Some deals often show the same Black Friday discount, while others enjoy a further reduction or even a unique deal that never appeared on the earlier event. I'll share the best Cyber Monday deals with you as soon as retailers switch, publish their hottest listings, and check for any record-breaking savings.
