It's open season on early Black Friday deals at Best Buy.

The tech retailer has added more holiday doorbusters to its website as of Monday, Nov. 13, including new discounts on Lenovo Chromebooks, Fitbits, Breville kitchen appliances, and streaming devices from brands like Roku and Amazon Fire. They cap off the second wave of Best Buy's 2023 holiday calendar, which serves as a lead-up to its full Black Friday sale — a nine-day affair running this Friday, Nov. 17 (or a week before the actual holiday) through Saturday, Nov. 25.

That calendar concludes with a Cyber Monday Savings Event featuring "savings [of] up to 50% on top gifts" from Sunday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Nov. 27 (or actual Cyber Monday), but additional deals will likely succeed it. Last year, Best Buy hosted a series of 24-hour flash sales called 20 Days of Deals throughout December.

Best Buy was the first major retailer to announce its Black Friday plans on Oct. 17 (followed by Target, Walmart, and finally Amazon), and it's been the busiest so far: Alongside its Black Friday and Cyber Monday events, Best Buy is dishing out elusive releases and exclusive discounts as part of its new app-exclusive Best Buy Drop program throughout the holidays. It's also hosting a new series of livestream holiday shopping events spotlighting popular gift ideas and some limited-time deals; the next one will air on Best Buy's TalkShopLive channel on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. ET.

Best Buy's official Black Friday sale will likely include its most and best discounts of the holiday season, but we strongly recommend looking for items on your wish list there well ahead of time: All Best Buy Black Friday deals (early and not) are available in limited quantities with no rain checks, and items that sell out right away may not get restocked later on. This is especially true for any and all Drops.

Below, we're keeping a running list of the best early Black Friday deals at Best Buy. Check back often as we update it: Best Buy will continue to drop early Black Friday deals throughout November. (All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨.)

Heads up: Best Buy sometimes messes with products' original prices, making deals appear better or worse than they actually are, so we cross-check its listings with brand and manufacturer sites whenever possible. As such, you may see some price discrepancies between the MSRPs on its product pages and our (correct) deal breakdowns below.

Our pick: LG 48-inch A2 Series OLED 4K TV
$549.99 (save $750) + free 3-month Apple TV+ subscription

Why we like it

Budget-friendly OLED TVs are relatively rare — as are discounts that exceed the 50% mark among big-name brands like LG. This is a match of a members-only deal we first saw during Best Buy's 48-Hour Flash Sale in mid-October, which was meant to compete with Prime Big Deal Days (Amazon's October Prime Day sale).

Laptop deals

Our pick: Acer Chromebook 315 ✨
$139 (save $80.99)

Why we like it

Geared toward basic web browsing, email sending, and document creation, this 15.6-inch Acer Chromebook has an older Intel Celeron N4020 processor with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, a 12.5-hour battery life, and a 720p webcam. It also comes with its own fabric case. Best Buy will probably drop a sub-$100 Chromebook at some point during its proper Black Friday sale — we saw a $79 one last year — but for now, this is the cheapest laptop it's offered this season. (Note that it typically retails for $219.99 on the Acer website, so Best Buy's price is slightly inflated.)

Our pick: Microsoft Surface Pro 9 with Surface Pro Keyboard
$999.99 (save $540) + free 1-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription

Why we like it

Microsoft's 13-inch Surface Pro 9 is a premium detachable tablet with an impressive 15-hour battery life, a vibrant 3:2 touchscreen, and crisp 1080p cameras (including a front-facing selfie camera that supports logins via facial recognition). Its 12th-gen Intel processor makes it a little outdated, but it performed well enough in testing to secure a 4/5 rating and an Editors' Choice Award from our sister site, PCMag. The configuration with an Intel i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage comes with a Surface Pro Keyboard (worth $139.99) at Best Buy, where it's currently on sale for $999.99 — a 35% total savings.

Our pick: HP OMEN 27-inch QHD Gaming Monitor ✨
$299.99 (save $129.01)

Why we like it

Featuring a 2560 x 1440 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, a peppy 1ms response time, and an adjustable stand, this 27-inch gaming monitor from HP's OMEN line is a very solid budget gaming monitor that can do justice to AAA games. Best Buy's pre-Black Friday price saves you 30%.

Gaming deals

Our pick: 'Super Mario Party' + Red & Blue Joy-Con Bundle
$99.99 (save $39.99)

Why we like it

You'll need a few spare controllers to play Super Mario Party with pals. This package deal bundles a copy of the game with Red and Blue Joy-Con for just $100, which is $40 less than what you'd pay for them separately. It's Nintendo's first Black Friday offer of the season, and it's a Best Buy exclusive.

Our pick: Sony WH-1000XM5 ✨
$329.99 (save $70)

Why we like them

The Sony WH-1000XM5s are an impeccable pair of premium wireless, over-ear noise-canceling headphones that won our Mashable's Choice Award: "I found myself reaching for these headphones over my AirPods and Sennheiser PXC 550-IIs," writes deputy reviews editor Miller Kern. Best Buy's early Black Friday price cut matched a deal on the Sony website at the time of writing.
