Black Friday is a week away and the deals are starting now. The team at TechBargains is starting to see Black-Friday-worthy deals and early release Black Friday deals go live today. Contrary to popular belief, not all the best deals are found on Black Friday. Many are found during the week prior. Here are a few of the top deals you can get now on TVs, computers, tablets, vacuums and more.
Point blank: This once-a-year deal is the only way you can get a discount on Amazon Prime. This is perfect timing for Black Friday and the holiday season with free two-day shipping. You get all your gifts extra fast without suffering through lines.
Additionally, you get free access to Prime Video, Prime Music streaming, unlimited photo storage. Also, you will get early access to some Black Friday Lightning Deals. If you shop often from Amazon, you don't want to miss out on this deal. (Expires 11/19 at 3 am.)
This is one of the best deals seen on a 2016 Curved 4K Samsung. With the included gift card, you are effectively only paying $525 for a TV with the three latest innovations in TV technology: sharp 4k resolution, an immersive curved display and vibrant HDR colors. You can use that gift card to buy computers at Dell or any number of electronics sell such as the New PlayStation 4 Pro or Xbox One S
Use coupon code: FIREHD6. This is the Black Friday tablet deal to beat. At $50, you won't get a better tablet than this well-reviewed HD Fire 6. It has a powerful quad-core processor, a sharp 252ppi screen and, if you have Prime, it’s an excellent option to watch videos offline when you travel.
A $50 tablet is great for many things: a digital photo frame, a tablet for the kids or even as an eBook reader. It has specialized filters for comfortable night time reading and specialized blue color filters on the screen to help you sleep at night.
Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Intel Core i7-7500u 1080p 15.6" Laptop w/ AMD Radeon R7 GPU for $629 (Orig $849)
Use Code EARLYBIRD220. If you were waiting on a laptop with the latest Intel processor, then this is currently the best deal running. This has a sharp high-resolution full HD display with a touch screen — you can make the most of the latest Windows 10 Pro's operating system. It also has a new infrared camera so you can log in to your computer with just a face scan.
The Amazon Echo was one of the most popular items during last year's Black Friday and it's back this year for an even lower price of $120. This model is Amazon certified refurbished and carries a one-year warranty (same as a new one). It has been tested and certified to work and look like new.
The built-in Alexa voice assistant will play songs, set reminders or alarms, order you an Uber and even control any home automation you have set-up. The Amazon Echo is the home gadget of the future, and word on the street is if you use Alexa to buy stuff from Amazon, they will offer you exclusive deals to make it worth your while.
During Black Friday, everyone is looking to get a Dyson. The team at TechBargains recommends a Roomba because nothing beats a robot vacuuming for you. This model is the lowest price seen by $25 and over $100 off the retail price. You can schedule it to clean up to 7x a week and it will automatically adjust to all floor types: carpet, tile hardwood and more.

For the perfect holiday dinner, consider a sous vide cooker. You can cook a turkey, prime rib, chicken, fish and anything else you want to perfection without ever overcooking it. This version has Bluetooth control so you can set it, then monitor or adjust settings from your phone. This is a fun gadget for serious food nerds and Anova is one of the most popular home sous vide machines.
This is the only discount on DropBox we see all year and it only comes from Dell during Black Friday time. This is the lowest price seen by $20, in addition to the $25 Dell gift card which effectively drops the price down to $35. That is over a 75% discount on a one-year subscription and a price that cannot be beaten.
This is worth its money if you even end up using this once. It can save you the time of waiting for someone to give you a jump and it has a built-in USB charger should you need to charge up your phone. Lastly, it has a built-in air compressor so you can keep your tires topped off and skip feeding quarters into the air machine at the gas station.
