FAQs

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is Nov. 29, though you can expect some products to be discounted a few days ahead and after the deals event. Deals will likely run from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, Dec. 2.

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday takes place on Monday, Dec. 2.

Are products really cheaper on Black Friday?

The short answer is: it depends. The long answer is that brands decide at what price they'd like to discount their products, based on demand and availability. Sometimes, they will inflate the price ahead of Black Friday to make discounts look more attractive than they actually are. But other times, you will see products discounted well below their original price. When we see a good or rare deal on a loved piece of tech, whether that's AirPods or a TV, we try to call it out through our Black Friday coverage. We'll also do our best to tell you whether something is worth your money based on our experience with the product and customer reviews.

How did we choose these Black Friday deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.

Where can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?

You can shop anywhere for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, but the major retailers, like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, will boast the most (and sometimes, the best) deals.
