Alright, let's talk turkey—and I'm not just referring to the one you'll be carving next week. Black Friday has officially morphed from a single day of doorbuster madness into an entire month-long tech free-for-all, and for us gadget lovers, it's basically the Super Bowl of shopping.Remember when you'd actually have to wait until the Friday after Thanksgiving to score deals? Those days are ancient history. Now, the entire month of November is packed with discounts so aggressive they'd make a Cyber Monday blush.We're talking about the best prices of the year on everything from the headphones you've been eyeing to the game console that'll finally complete your entertainment setup. And the best part? You don't even have to leave your couch.Engadget's got the lowdown on all the hottest tech deals live right now, and we'll be updating this list constantly as we barrel toward the main event at the end of the month. Pro tip: the absolute record-low prices typically drop about a week before Thanksgiving, but the deals available right now are seriously worth your attention.Let's dive into the loot. First up, for all my fellow iPhone users who constantly lose their keys like it's a competitive sport: a four-pack of Apple AirTags is down to just $65.That's a solid 34 percent off. Slip one into your wallet, clip one to your bag—just make sure you grab a proper holder if you're attaching it to your keychain.Next, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is an absolute steal at $35. This little dongle is one of our top picks for streaming, supporting Dolby Vision, Atmos, and even Wi-Fi 6E for a buttery-smooth connection.It also has this cool ambient mode that turns your TV into an art gallery when you're not binging your favorite show. For the kitchen commanders, the Ninja Dual-Zone air fryer is a game-changer, especially if you're hosting the big feast.This 10-quart beast has two separate baskets, so you can crisp up your potatoes on one side and your Brussels sprouts on the other without any flavor crossover. The Smart Finish feature even lets you time two different foods to be done simultaneously—it's like having a sous chef in your countertop.Now, for the Star Wars fans: the LEGO Millennium Falcon A New Hope 25th Anniversary set is down to $68. With 921 pieces, it's a build that’s both challenging and deeply satisfying, and it looks absolutely killer on a shelf.It’s part of a whole wave of LEGO Black Friday deals that are popping off right now. On the gaming front, Nintendo's Black Friday sale is live, and while you won't find straight discounts on the Switch 2 console, the bundles are where the value's at.The Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle is sitting at $499, which effectively saves you the cost of the game. Pokémon fans should also check out the Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle—it's a solid alternative if you're more into catching 'em all than kart racing.For the Apple faithful, the M4 MacBook Air is our top laptop pick, and it's currently $250 off at $749. It's thin, light, and has enough battery life to power through a full day of work and play.The Apple Watch SE 3 is also a bargain at $200—it packs the same chip as the flagship models and has an always-on display, making it the best budget Apple Watch by a mile. And don't sleep on the M4 Mac Mini for $499; it's a desktop powerhouse that’s perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their home office without taking up much space.On the weird-and-wonderful side of tech, the Jisulife Life 7 handheld fan is down to $25. This thing is a lifesaver if you live somewhere warm or have a vacation planned—it can be used as a table fan, held in your hand, or even worn around your neck.Its 5,000 mAh battery means it'll last for hours, and it even has a little display to show the battery level right in the middle of the blades. Then there's the Leebin 2025 electric spin scrubber, which is a Prime exclusive at $40.I've used this thing to clean my bathroom, and it genuinely makes scrubbing the shower less of a chore. The handle extends from 12 to 50 inches, so you can reach every nook and cranny without breaking a sweat.For the financially savvy, the Monarch Money budgeting app is 50 percent off for a year with the code MONARCHVIP, bringing it down to $50. It's one of our favorite budgeting tools because it gives you incredible control over your finances, with features like goal tracking and a super thorough month-in-review recap.It even integrates with Zillow if you're house hunting. And for all the Switch 2 owners out there, listen up: you'll need a microSD Express card to expand your storage, and the SanDisk 256GB model is down to $60.We tested a bunch of these, and while performance is pretty similar across the board, this one hits the sweet spot for price and capacity. Streaming fans, the Google TV Streamer 4K is our top pick right now, and it's $25 off at $75.It supports 4K, has a super intuitive interface, and even lets you control your smart home devices right from your TV. It's also available at Walmart if you prefer to shop there.For the clean freaks, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum is a staggering $600 off, bringing it down to $400. It doesn't have a self-emptying base, but its suction power is unreal, and its obstacle avoidance is so good it rarely gets stuck.If you're in the market for a cordless stick vacuum, Dyson's other Black Friday deals are worth a look too. Lastly, for the preppers and outdoor enthusiasts, EcoFlow's Black Friday sale has some insane discounts on portable power stations.The Delta Pro 3 is $1,400 off at $2,299, and there's a bundle with an extra battery that's $2,699 off.
