Black Friday is no longer a one-day sale—now, you can find impressive deals on tech products like headphones, e-readers, and speakers all week. If you’re looking to shop on a budget, I shared Black Friday tech deals for under $25 and even more under $50 earlier this week. If your budget is a bit higher, here are the best tech deals under $100.

Aosu security camera

After my home was broken into, I was on the hunt for a great solar-powered camera that doesn’t require a subscription. The best one I’ve found is the Aosu Solar Camera, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-set-up, reliable solar camera with a 360-degree view. You can get it for $56.99 (originally $79.99), an impressive value for the money.

SwitchBot Lock Pro smart locks

I’ve tested nearly every smart lock on the market, and I cannot recommend the SwitchBot Lock Pro enough, as you can read in my review. It’s reliable, simple, and comes with many useful features. It’s also extremely renter-friendly, so you can install it easily with minimal work. You can get just the smart lock for $58.79 (originally $119.99), but if you want everything you need to work it remotely, get the bundle, which is also on sale.

Google Nest thermostats

In my home, I use the Google Nest Thermostat, which looks great and works reliably. You can control your HVAC remotely with the Google app and set automated routines. Right now it’s discounted to $89.99 (originally $129.99).

Google TV and Roku streaming sticks

Another great Google product I recommend is the Google TV Streamer 4K, currently $74.99 (originally $99.99). I’ve been using it since the first generation came out. I love it because it lets me easily cast my phone to any TV or projector (Android or iOS alike). This specific model is compatible with 4K resolution. If you’re looking for the Roku equivalent, the Roku Ultra for $68.99 (originally $99.99) is your best bet and is also discounted right now.

UE Portable speaker

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is just $59.99 (originally $99.99), and it’s a great portable speaker with modern features. It’s waterproof and dustproof, it floats on water, has strong bass—and because of its design, it has a 360-degree sound.

Amazon Fire tablets

If you’re looking for a budget tablet under $100, do not consider any tablet other than the Amazon Fire HD 10, currently just $69.99 (originally $139.99). Any other tablet is likely to be a bust, but the Fire HD 10 has been a solid budget option since its 2023 release.

Apple AirPods

The cheapest AirPods (without active noise cancelation) are just $69 (originally $129) after a record low price. These are the fourth generation model with the H2 chip and 30-hour battery life. You can also get the ANC version for a record-low price of $99 (originally $179).

Never lose a purse or a suitcase again. If you’re an Apple user and don’t have any AirTags yet, this is the best time to pull the trigger, with a four-pack currently going for $64.99 (originally $99).

Cloud gaming bundle

Cloud gaming is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to owning a console—nothing epitomizes that better than this Xbox Controller and Fire TV Stick Bundle with one month of Game Pass Ultimate, currently going for $89.97 (originally $139.97). That’s right, you can play Xbox games on any screen with an HDMI without needing to buy an actual Xbox console. Pretty sweet.

2024 Kindle e-reader

The 2024 base Amazon Kindle is one of the cheapest e-book readers that you can buy right now. Currently, you can get the Kindle 16GB model with lockscreen ads for $79.99 (originally $109.99). The model without lockscreen ads is also discounted to $99.99 (down from $129.99). This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen for the base Kindle.

Does Amazon have Black Friday deals?

Yes, Amazon has Black Friday sales, but prices aren’t always what they seem. Use a price tracker to make sure you’re getting the best deal, or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you. And if you have an Amazon Prime membership, make the most of it.

What stores have the best sales on Black Friday?

Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Black Friday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers who can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
