The Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021<\/a> sales are just around the corner, and our team of tech experts will be doing everything they can to ensure we find you the best tech deals. However, before you start your bargain hunt, it pays to have a few targets in mind. Do you need some new earbuds? A new phone? Or is it a laptop, monitor, or TV you\u2019re looking for? Whatever it is, establish targets before the seasonal sales and establish a budget to help define your search. Then, with those in mind, it will be simpler to chase down savings on your ideal tech items.<\/p>\n Setting these targets and defining a budget can place you one step ahead. It\u2019s well worth taking the time to prepare as the sales themselves can be highly competitive, both for bargain hunters and retailers.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve set your targets, set a budget and done a little research around which products might suit you and your intended uses, take a look at our best smartphone<\/a>,\u00a0best budget laptops<\/a>,\u00a0best wireless earbuds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0best soundbars<\/a>\u00a0pages for some inspiration.<\/p>\n Read on for all in the info on what\u2019s available right now and what other deals we\u2019re expecting to land this year.<\/p>\n The Black Friday sale on AO will begin in earnest on the 26th of November, with the Cyber Monday offering just afterwards, on the 29th.<\/p>\n However, many retailers start offering savings before the day itself, so keep an eye on the site \u2013 and competing sites \u2013 in the run-up to Black Friday. Re-visit this page, which we will keep regularly updated as the sales draw closer.<\/p>\n With the announcement of Apple\u2019s iPhone 13<\/a> \u2013 and the imminent arrival of the Google Pixel 6<\/a> \u2013 we\u2019re hoping that there will be some great savings on older Apple and Google phones. So, if you\u2019re sizing up an iPhone 11 or 12 or one of Google\u2019s offerings, then you could be in luck. Take a look at our Black Friday iPhone deals 2021<\/a> page for more information.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, AO routinely offers savings on laptops, TVs and more. TVs are a product category that has become particularly associated with Black Friday. Retailers are always keen to compete on providing stand-out, attention-grabbing discounts on big-ticket items. This attracts more custom to their sites and away from the competition. So, if you\u2019re on the lookout for a TV, hold on until the sales arrive, and AO \u2013 or one of the other retailers we\u2019re reporting on \u2013 may have a deal for you.<\/p>\n Last year AO\u2019s stand-out deals included a rare Apple AirPods<\/a> price drop \u2013 down from \u00a3137 to \u00a3125. It\u2019s wasn\u2019t the biggest discount ever, but it\u2019s notoriously hard to get discounts on AirPods.<\/p>\n Also, there was a reduction on an LG 50-inch Smart 4K Ultra HD TV<\/a> \u2013 down from \u00a3449 to \u00a3379.<\/p>\n There were deals on air-fryers, hoovers, appliances and gaming kit too. AO offers a wide variety of products, and there are bound to be some great deals again in this year\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n Right now on AO, there are already savings to be made. For example, if you purchase a Samsung UE65TU8300 65-inch Curved Smart 4K Ultra HD TV<\/a> for \u00a3699, you can get 50% cashback on a soundbar, helping you to build a great set-up for blockbuster films and TV.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also \u00a329 off an Acer gaming laptop \u2013 the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-56 15.6-inch<\/a> in black. Down from \u00a3749 to \u00a3720.<\/p>\n Right now, these deals aren\u2019t necessarily anything to write home about, but we\u2019ll be updating this page with bigger discounts as the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales draw closer.
