Anker Prime Power Bank 20,000mAh Portable Charger with charging base for $110 ($75 off): It fits the price of this set hit for Black Friday. This is our current favorite premium power bank thanks to the beautiful design, easy-to-read display and fast charging capability. But what really sets it apart is the charging base. Magnets align the battery base for easy plonk down and recharge. The base also provides additional USB ports so you can charge other items at the same time.
Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2024, M3, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM) for $1,249 ($250 off): All four colors are currently on sale on Amazon for the latest MacBook Air. We give the laptop a positive review last yearwith plenty of performance for productive work and casual play. The keyboard and trackpad are great, which makes using the laptop a pleasure. We currently recommend the M3 MacBook Air as the best MacBook for most people.
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32 GB) $230 ($50 off Prime): If you’re a Prime member, you can save $50 on the recently released Colorsoft Kindle, aka the first Kindle with color. This is the first discount we have seen since the debut of this model. We experienced “yellow band” issue with our review unit, but after receiving an updated reader, Amazon made the “appropriate changes” to resolve the issue. The software and display adjustments implemented by the company work – and we prefer the overall effect. Check out our review for the full story.

Chipolo One Point (4-pack) for $63 ($49 off): The Chipolo One point came out shortly after Google launched it Find the My Device featurethe crowd-sourced find network that relies on other Android phones to track your lost items (like Apple’s Find My function). This is for now our favorite Bluetooth tracker for Android. We love how easy it is to set up and how loud it rings. Also, unlike AirTags, it has a hole in it so attaching the tracker to a key ring is simple. Also on Amazon. Chipolo also sells a package that combines them wallet and two standard One trackers for $52.
Apple AirTag (4-pack) for $70 ($29 off): A new model of AirTags may be coming later this yearbut as it stands, we consider Apple’s current AirTag to be best Bluetooth tracker for iPhone owners. It’s not an all-time low, but it beats the going rate of $73 a four-pack has hit in the past few months. Also on Best Buy.
EcoFlow Delta Ultra inverter and battery set for $5,199 ($899 off): It’s not a casual investment, but if you’re in the market for an all-in-one home battery, you can save about $900 on a 6.1kWh single battery and inverter set. We reviewed the EcoFlow Delta Ultra at last year’s CES (This year we checked the brand dapper solar hat). The battery can be charged from solar panels or the grid and restore electricity to your home on demand or in the event of an outage.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Gaming Controller for $98 ($32 off): The Core version of the Elite Series 2 controller is one of our top picks Xbox accessories. It gives you some valuable features for $180 Xbox Elite Series 2 controller for a closer price. The Core has a rubberized grip and stronger triggers, joysticks and directional pads. It also has up to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge. It doesn’t come with the various joysticks, directional pads and back paddles that the full-priced Elite controller does, but you can buy them separately later down the road.

Active noise cancellation (ANC) suppresses background noises and is surprisingly effective, especially for headphones in this price range.
Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Vacuum for $250 ($250 off): In our guide to best cordless vacuumswe recommend several Dyson vacs. The Digital Slim isn’t on the list, but it’s still worth considering, especially since it’s half the price (that’s not a record low, it cost $230 on Black Friday). It has a 40-minute run time and is 30 percent lighter than the Dyson V11, which should move quickly across your floors. Also on Amazon and Dyson directly.
