Black Friday is looming large on the horizon, promising big discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, speakers, and just about everything else. It's the single best time of the year to shop, with deals on offer from all the leading retailers.

We're still a couple of weeks out from Thanksgiving, but you don't have to wait for Black Friday to save big on laptops, tablets, headphones, gaming gear, and more. These are our favorite deals so far.

Check out our Deals page for more discounts on our favorite Wirecutter picks. I’ve covered Black Friday sales for Wirecutter since 2016, vetting hundreds of thousands of bombastic bargain claims and navigating seas of mediocre “blowout” TV deals.
