Items tagged with black friday
It feels like Black Friday deals started somewhere in late October, but the day after Thanksgiving is finally upon us. Hopefully you've had some leftover pumpkin pie for breakfast and maybe a cup of coffee, because now it's time to shop. We've been poring over the best tech deals available and found some truly nice prices on Acer notebooks and gaming monitors. Without further ado, let's dive right in. Acer's Spin 5 convertible 2-in-1 notebooks have been well-received around our offices. The latest Intel Eco-branded Tiger Lake version of the Spin 5 is just $1099 at Amazon, a $200 discount over the normal price. This system has a Core i5-1165G7, 16 GB of LPDDR4X memory, a 1 TB SSD, and...

Black Friday is a great time to splurge on hot tech items for ourselves -- a la new smartphones; perhaps a new PlayStation 5 if you can find one -- but it's also a great time to score deals for our loved ones that are in need. During this somewhat insufferable COVID-19 lull that has blanketed the country, many school age children in particular are in need of a computer to take part in virtual learning. If your school district doesn't provide a laptop for your virtual homeschooler, or if you just need a cheap replacement for a device that they might have broken, we've got a few deals for you that won't break the bank. First up is the Lenovo IdeaPad 1, which is about as cheap a deal as you'll find...

Here we go, folks. Black Friday week is upon us, which means the deals are kicking up a notch. You can expect a steady stream of bargains throughout the week (and beyond), and as usual, Amazon is on the front line with deals galore. In this roundup, we have a bunch of discounted Echo and Ring Video security devices to share. Shown above is the Echo Show 8, on sale for $64.99 (down from $129.99). As the model name suggests, it sports an 8-inch display with an HD resolution (1820x800) for making video calls (or use it to see who is standing in front of your Ring Video Doorbell).

Black Friday is fast approaching, but that hasn't stopped retailers and companies from offering their own early discounts ahead of next week. The latest company to jump on the bandwagon is DJI, which not only makes popular aerial drones, but also stabilized cameras that you can use to capture action shots. The first big discount comes on the Mavic Mini, which is DJI's entry-level drone that still packs quite a punch. You can get the standard Mavic Mini, which comes with the drone, a remote, and a battery for $359 (which represents a $40 discount). However, we think that your best course of action is to go with the Mavic Mini Fly More Combo, which adds in two extra batteries, a battery charging...
