Best Black Friday toy deals: Where to find sales on L.O.L. Surprise! sets, Star Wars LEGOs, Xbox bundles, and more

No one tells you how hard it is to shop for The Youths™️ once you age out of the Toys 'R' Us catalog (RIP). Toy trends seem to change constantly, and if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, you risk looking like Steve Buscemi in the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme as you wander through store aisles.

We'll let you in on a couple of insider secrets: This year's hottest gifts for the kiddos in your life revolve around major movie franchises and TV shows (think Star Wars, Frozen 2, and PAW Patrol) and interactive, unboxable plush toys (think Hatchimals — yes, still — and a newcomer called L.O.L. Surprise!).  Read more...

Even in 2019, your life would be easier with a reliable printer

Even in 2019, your life would be easier with a reliable printer

TL;DR: The Brother Compact Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer (HL-L2350DW) is on sale for $89.99 for Black Friday/Cyber Monday at Amazon. That's 25% off, saving you $30. 


It's 2019, and printers might seem like they're no longer a necessity, but maybe you've just never had one that works as well as the Brother compact monochrome wireless laser printer. I bought a version of this exact printer a few years ago on a friend's recommendation, and it honestly changed my life. From printing out return labels (its main use), to movie and plane tickets so I don't have to turn over my phone, to printing documents and using the scanner app on my phone to scan or "fax" them, this printer comes in so handy I don't know how I lived without it for so many years. I use this thing at least once a week!  Read more...

Battle of the smart screens: Lenovo and Amazon's latest compared

Battle of the smart screens: Lenovo and Amazon's latest comparedAmazon's Echo Show was the only smart display on the market in 2017, but fast forward a couple years later and devices like these have become ubiquitous. Much of that is due to competition from the likes of Google, which in addition to making its own hardware, has licensed out its tech to third-party manufacturers like Lenovo. Plus, two years on it's become clear that smart displays are actually useful -- they do everything smart speakers can, with a dash of helpful visuals. Now that there are so many smart displays, though, they've started to look and feel very similar, which can make buying one a little confusing.

Dell Cuts Full Year Forecast Due to Intel Supply Challenges

When Intel warned on earnings last week, we noted how odd it was for the company to issue a general supplier update telling the entire industry that it was still facing a challenging production environment. It’s now at least partly clear why Intel did that — Dell told Wall Street during its Q3 earnings call that it would report lower than expected full-year revenue due to Intel’s supply challenges.

Dell’s executives did not want to comment on the overall supply conditions as they will exist in 2020 (Dell’s FY 2021) at this point in time, but the phrasing of the warning was interesting. Jeffrey Clarke, CEO of Dell, said: “Intel CPU shortages have worsened quarter-over-quarter the shortages are now impacting our commercial PC and premium consumer PC Q4 forecasted shipments.”

Up until now, Intel has taken the brunt of the impact on its product shipments at the low end of the market. When we’ve heard about proposed foundry agreements between Intel and TSMC, they’ve focused on chipsets and supplementary products. Intel has now said it will increase its use of third-party foundries. Put it all together, and you’ve got a situation in which the supposedly-improving supply crunch appears to have become worse relatively quickly.

Intel is shipping 56-core solutions now, like Cascade Lake-AP. Those didn’t exist when 14nm was new.

My theory is that what we’re seeing today is the combined impact of several issues. In 2014, Intel delayed bringing Fab 42 online. It restarted the bring-up process in 2017, but the fab won’t be fully online until 2020. Second, Intel had to increase die size to compete against AMD’s Ryzen and Epyc CPUs. Third, Intel has faced difficulty and challenges ramping up its 10nm process. It continues to work through these issues, but Intel set a target for itself that it absolutely had to hit: 10nm would be on store shelves by Holidays 2019.

But hitting that target with 10nm in volume production meant that Intel would have had to dedicate an increasingly large percentage of its foundry space to 10nm, even though 10nm yields aren’t going to be nearly as good as 14nm yields are at this point in time. Smaller process nodes offer the opportunity to build more CPUs per wafer, but low yield percentages steal back the gains. Tool installation at Fab 42 is supposed to be finished by early 2020 and the new plant will produce 10nm and eventually 7nm CPUs, but Intel hasn’t given a firm date for when it will commence volume production out of this factory.

It’s not clear how much longer these conditions will persist or whether they will funnel more business to rival AMD. HP has indicated it expects them to continue through at least the first half of 2020.

We want to take a minute to call out a deal at Amazon, though, because Samsung's curved 4K TVs are up to $120 off.

All the best Black Friday TV deals that just went live

OUR TOP PICKS:


"TVs" and "Black Friday" go together like cats and broken tree ornaments.

But purchasing a TV on Black Friday isn't as much of a no-brainer as you think. Actually, BestBlackFriday.com suggests that you wait until that ~big football game~ to cop a new TV. Not only are retailers going after sports fans who decided at the last-minute that they need a 75-inch TV, but January is typically when TV brands launch their new models and last year's models go on sale.

Here are all the best Black Friday deals at Amazon (so far)

Amazon is kicking off its official Black Friday sale in the same way it released its pre-holiday pre-holiday deals in early November: with guns a-blazing. 

We won't beat around the bush, here: We know that turkey coma and/or wine hangover has finally worn off, and you're ready to save some serious money on your holiday shopping. So, without further ado, here's a rundown of the best Black Friday deals you can get on Amazon right this instant:

Air fryers

Air fryers are the Instant Pot of this year's Black Friday sales — which is to say, they're getting all the good deals (and selling out faster than you can say "homemade French fries"). For the steepest of all the air fryer discounts, grab Dash's 1.6-quart Compact Air Fryer: It's 70% off (!) right now with the digital coupon on its Amazon product page. Read more...

It's going to take a lot to beat this Black Friday VPN deal

It's going to take a lot to beat this Black Friday VPN deal

TL;DR: Ivacy VPN is on sale for £0.77 for Black Friday, saving you 90% on list price.


In the battle for Black Friday supremacy, VPN providers are dropping the prices of plans to new depths.

You can sign up to a five-year subscription of Ivacy VPN for just £0.77 per month. That is a staggeringly low price, and something that we just can't see being beat. This deal even comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, as if you needed any further persuasion. 

It's not like Ivacy VPN is cheap because it's lacking. A plan provides a lot, including malware protection, unlimited bandwidth, military grade encryption, high speed downloading, and P2P support. You can even unblock seven major Netflix regions including the U.S., France, Japan, UK, Australia, Germany, and Canada.  Read more...

The Oculus Go is at its lowest price on Amazon ever for Black Friday

The Oculus Go is at its lowest price on Amazon ever for Black Friday

TL;DR: The Oculus Go might just be the best standalone VR headset, and it's on sale for $149 at Amazon — a savings of $50 and a record low price.


VR headsets in 2019 are like the Wii in 2006. Your cool friend has one and you're always trying to go to their house to play it, but you haven't gotten around to buying your own yet.

This Black Friday is your chance to stake out your own spot in the VR landscape for cheap. You can grab the Oculus Go, potentially the most important VR creation yet, for $149 at Amazon — its lowest price on Amazon ever and $10 cheaper than its Prime Day price.

People tend to stay away from VR headsets for two reasons: Having to connect to a phone or PC is more of a hassle than it's worth, and spending $300+ to do so is a steep investment for the average person. And until the release of the Oculus Go in spring 2018, your options were basically that or the Google Cardboard. Read more...

The best Black Friday deals so far: Sales that went live on Thanksgiving

The best Black Friday deals so far: Sales that went live on Thanksgiving

Hope y'all are done with your stuffing and already took your post-turkey nap, because it's go-time.

Black Friday officially kicked off at 5 or 6 pm EST at most retailers, which means the last of those deals that didn't go live early are live now. 

We hope you were wise enough to map out what you want to buy with the ad scans, but if you didn't, we've pulled all the best deals so that you don't have to waste time flipping through deal pages. If you see something on sale, skip the virtual bloodbath and snag yours before other customers catch wind. "Out of stock" notices on doorbusters will happen quickly: Some 4K TVs and Apple Watches at Walmart are already sold out online and are only available for in-store purchase, and the MacBook Air is completely sold out on Amazon.

End of an era: Jony Ive removed from Apple's leadership page

End of an era: Jony Ive removed from Apple's leadership page

The fact that legendary Apple designer Jony Ive is leaving the company has been known since June, but a small change on Apple's website makes it real. 

Apple has removed Ive's profile from its Leadership page, marking his official departure from the company. Ive joined Apple in 1992, and was chief of design since 1996. He designed numerous wildly successful products, including the iPhone, the iMac and the iPod. 

On the left: new page, sans Jony Ive. On the right, old page.

This electric toothbrush is seriously cheap for Black Friday

This electric toothbrush is seriously cheap for Black Friday

TL;DR: The Oral-B Pro 3 3000 electric toothbrush is on sale for £34.99 on Amazon, saving you 65% on list price.


Amazon drops hundreds of deals over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but the best offers come in the form of "Lightning Deals."

These deals are only available for a short amount of time, and stocks usually vanish before the time limit is reached. That's because the savings are usually really impressive, and shoppers snap them all up without much hesitation.

The latest "Lightning Deal" to make a big impression is the 65% discount on the Oral-B Pro 3 3000 electric toothbrush. This device is now available for just £34.99 on Amazon, saving you £65. This deal expires before midnight on Nov. 28, but we doubt stocks will last that long. Read more...

We would like to start with an apology, because not so long ago we told you about a deal on the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom speaker, but we spoke too soon. 

At the time this speaker was on sale for £49.99, and we thought that was a great deal. Unfortunately for anyone who took that deal, it has now dropped in price to just £39.99 on Amazon. We're sorry, but this is what it's like over Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

TL;DR: The Sonos One smart speaker is on sale for £159 on Amazon, saving you 20% on list price.


Deals are a tricky thing to master, because sometimes you'll come across a massive discount on a device and get all excited, only to dig a little deeper and discover that it's down even more somewhere else.

On the other hand, some products so rarely go on sale that you kind of give up on them. This is definitely the case when it comes to the Sonos One (Gen 2) smart speaker, that seems to only ever drop in price by tiny amounts. We had given up all hope.

The tech we're thankful for: A cynic's guide

The tech we're thankful for: A cynic's guide

I carry a lot of animosity towards everyday tech. 

iPhones distract my loved ones from our quality time, smart assistants insist I need a butler who spies on me, and my various inboxes and text messages enable me to be "always on." Then there’s that whole degradation of democracy thing. 

I’m not alone in harboring these less-than-sunny sentiments: According to the Pew Research Center, Americans are concerned about how tech is affecting their privacy and many have considered cutting back on social media.

But it’s Thanksgiving, and I firmly believe that the exercise of giving thanks is inherently valuable. Even science says that reflecting on the things in life we’re grateful for can make us feel good, feel lucky. Read more...
