Holiday Gift Guide
ZDNet Recommends: Holiday Gift Guide 2020
Looking for the perfect gift this holiday season? Here’s a great lineup of gift ideas and resources to get you started.
Black Friday is almost here, which means you’re probably already getting inundated with information about the best deals.
Back in the old days, it was easier to keep track of the sales. You’d see Black Friday ads from major retailers detailing their plans, then you’d circle the biggest “doorbuster” deals of the season, and you’d line up out front of the stores at 5am.
Now, in 2020, things are a bit different. Retail ads start leaking out in October for “early Black Friday sales,” and almost all the biggest discounts can be snagged online. Heck, even retailer ad scans are online. That means, while you run the risk of being digitally overloaded, it’s now easier than ever for you to successfully master Black Friday.
With that said, we’re rounding up the best deals for professionals and remote workers and listing all the retailer ads and sale hubs — all with the goal of making sure you get nearly everything on your Christmas list at a discount. Good luck!
Apple Watch SE (40mm)
Save $49
The Apple Watch SE is all-new for 2020. It carries a lot of the same features as the Series 6, though it doesn’t offer an always-on display, ECG functionality, or oxygen saturation measurements. The 40mm and 44mm models now cost $279 and $309, respectively, as part of an early Black Friday deal at Walmart.
Apple AirPods (second generation)
Save $59
Amazon is offering Apple’s wireless earbuds at the lowest price ever. Better grab this early deal now, because it wouldn’t surprise us if it went out of stock before Black Friday actually arrives.
Lenovo Yoga C940
Save $400
The Lenovo Yoga C940, a premium two-in-one with an all-metal design and a touchscreen that can rotate 360 degrees, is on sale at Best Buy as part of an early deal. It includes an active pen, a 14-inch display with a 4K resolution, 10th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD with 32GB of superfast Optane memory.
Bose QuietComfort 35 II Headphones
Save $100
Bose’s over-the-ear noise-canceling cans are often on sale, but this is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen so far. They’re wireless and offer three levels of noise cancellation, plus support for Alexa.
Amazon Echo Show 8
Save $65
It’s not even Black Friday yet, and Amazon is already shaving 20% off the retail price of its Echo Show 8, the larger version of the Echo Show 5. Considering Amazon just held Prime Day last month, we’re not sure many Amazon devices will be on sale this holiday season, so best hop on this deal while it’s available.
Ring Video Doorbell Pro
$80 off
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is the top of the line model of the video doorbell. It comes with built-in motion detection and lets you talk to whoever is at your front door in crystal clear 1080p HD.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet
$70 off
Amazon’s top tablet option is the Fire HD 10. It has a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display along with 32GB of storage. If you’re looking for an inexpensive productivity and entertainment device, look no further. It even comes with Alexa.
Echo Show 5 with Blink Mini indoor security camera
$75 off
This bundle includes the Echo Show 5 smart display and the Blink Mini indoor security camera. These two usually cost $125, so you’re saving $75 and you can use them together to secure your home or office.
Google Nest Hub
$45 off
This smart display from Google is designed to work as a command hub for all of your smart home devices, but works just as well serving up recipes in the kitchen or playing music anywhere in your home.
Acer Chromebook 314
$30 off
This Chromebook from Acer is a great budget laptop. It has a 14-inch display and runs on a Intel Celeron N4000 Dual-Core Processor. It also has 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
HP 14-Inch Touchscreen Chromebook
$170 off
This is one of the cheapest laptop deals announced so far for Black Friday 2020, but it offers a little more than the typical bargain basement Chromebook. While most of its specs are typical (Intel Celeron N3350 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage), getting a 14-inch touchscreen display for under $150 is a rarity.
When is Black Friday 2020?
Black Friday 2020 lands on Friday, Nov. 27, while Cyber Monday is Nov. 30. Usually, Black Friday sales last the entire weekend. In fact, many of them will start weeks before Black Friday and last straight into December.
