Even though Black Friday is still more than three weeks away, retailers are already rolling out holiday discounts, making this a good time to get a head start on your wish list before items sell out. This is especially useful if you (like me) have a pre-Thanksgiving birthday in your household, or just want to have something before the holiday, like headphones to tune out your family on the ride to relatives' house, or an espresso machine to impress your in-laws with a post-dinner cappuccino.
Every deal below is on an item a WIRED reviewer has tested and can personally vouch for being worth your money. For more great discounts, check out our Best Early Black Friday Deals, as well as early discounts on smart bird feeders, mattresses, and espresso machines.
Samsung's interesting, brand-new Galaxy Z Fold8 (8/10, WIRED Review) unfurls into a 7.6-inch display for wide-view typing and multitasking. WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu actually prefers this model to the pricier Fold8 Ultra ($2,032), praising its easier-to-open hinge and declaring it just nicer to use in every way.
Though the bass-forward Beats Studio Pro (7/10, WIRED Recommends) come in a range of fun colors, including navy, brown, and gray, the plain black ones are on sale for $109 off right now. They offer easy pairing with both Apple and Android devices, as well as head tracking for spatial audio.
WIRED reviewer Luke Larsen likes this well-equipped laptop with its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chip and generously sized, 120-Hz refresh rate display.
