Black Friday deals in October 2024

It's early October and fall discounts on tech and gaming offer the lowest prices of the season so far. I'm talking about Black Friday-worthy deals on laptops, tablets, headphones, wearables, gaming consoles, video games, and TVs. 

Once again, retailers like Amazon, Best BuyTarget, and Walmart are kicking off the holiday season early with Black Friday in October deals on the most wished-for tech.  nflation. If you prefer to buy electronics from the source, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Samsung also offer excellent discounts on their inventory.

Traditionally, Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving so this year's Black Friday is on Nov. 29. However, retailers aren't shying away from putting their best holiday discounts forward early. Given that many products are already marked down to their lowest prices of the season, in some instances, there's no need to wait for better discounts. 

I've been covering Black Friday for 6 years and friends don't let friends pay full price for anything. That's why I'll be closely tracking sales and comparing prices to bring you the best Black Friday deals in October 2024. I'll also weed out all the fake deals from sketchy third-party sellers looking to prey on unsuspecting holiday shoppers.
