Each and every day we get closer to Black Friday, the deals keep heating up. There are already a lot of great early Black Friday sales to pore over, and we’ve even gathered retailer-specific deals from the likes of Amazon, Walmart, and Target. The Verge has its own deals going on, in a way, with exclusives offered below, along with our very own giveaway. It’s certainly the season of tech deals, and kicking off today’s sales are discounts on the hottest laptops that just hit the market.
When Apple announced its new MacBook Pro laptops, its own site broke under the weight of people placing orders. But not only can you get one now, you can save a little off the total. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is up to $100 off at B&H Photo. You can get a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an eight-core M1 Pro processor with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for $1,949 (usually $1,999). B&H knocked $100 off of this model as of this morning, so that promo could return soon.
If you crave a bit more power under the hood, B&H also has $100 off the 10-core M1 Pro-equipped 14-inch MacBook Pro, costing $2,400. That bumped-up version comes with a 16-core GPU and 1TB of storage. These offers end on November 19th, and B&H notes that supply is limited at this price.
These laptops are hard to come by at retailers, and discounts on them may prove few and far between. The pent-up demand for a new MacBook Pro that answers the yearslong demands for more ports and power has even led to shipping delays on some models. It’s all for good reason, as the new Pro laptops got very high marks in our review and are the ideal computers for creators and creative professionals who want a machine that’s up to the task.

Apple’s AirTags are a handy little location tracker for iPhone users. They’re helpful for keeping track of your bag, keys, or even a wallet or purse. With a waterproof design and user-replaceable battery, they should last you a long time. Woot has an exceptional price on a four-pack of AirTags. If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can get a four-pack of AirTags from Woot for just $88. That is the lowest price around. Not an Amazon Prime subscriber? You can still nab the deal from Woot for $93 (normally $100). This offer is limited to one per customer and valid until November 30th or while supplies last.
While location trackers from Tile are available with support for more devices at a lower price, they don’t have the same level of tight integration with iOS and the Find My app. Read our review.
