Black Friday has become like a holiday itself for those looking for the best deals on consumer goods. Of course, it's common knowledge that you can often find the best deals on certain products, especially tech and online.
This wisdom is so prevalent that Black Friday even got its first spin-off: Cyber Monday. But even that isn't where the savings end. In fact, the best time to find deals on electronics actually begins in early November.
Many big retailers are already rolling out their early Black Friday deals in a bid to snag the early bird shoppers. We'll be looking at the biggest of the big in this round-up, to determine whether Walmart vs. Amazon is the best place for early Black Friday deals on tech.
Laptops
As you might expect, Amazon has a wider selection of laptops to choose from in their bargain section. Many of their deals run on the expensive side, however, while Walmart offers a wide array of budget laptops.
OMEN-X 17.3- inch Gaming Laptop
HP OMEN-X 17.3" Gaming Laptop, FHD 120Hz IPS DisplayAmazon
Consider the OMEN-X 17.3- inch Gaming Laptop, from Amazon. The Omen-X is the top of the top-of-the-line, with everything you could need or want to dominate in the gaming world. The 17.3- inch display is even larger than the generous 15.3- inch monitors you find on most gaming laptops. Everything is slightly oversized with the Omen-X, from the 2.80GHz processor to the 8GB NVIDIA GTX1070 video card to the 15GB of RAM.
The price tag on the OMEN-X is slightly oversized as well, coming out to the not immodest sum of $1,399. That's 30 percent off the list price. With an item this costly, that's a cool $600. If you're a hardcore gamer and have been eyeing an OMEN-X for yourself or your Player #2, now is the time to spring.
Dell Inspiron 11.6-inch 2-in-1 AMD A9
Dell - Inspiron 11 3000 2-in-1, 11.6-inch HD, AMD A9-9420eWalmart
On the opposite end of the spectrum is the Dell Inspiron 11.6- inch 2-in-1 - AMD A9 from Walmart, a modest but very function laptop for work or school. The Dell Inspiron's main claim to fame is that it doubles as a tablet, with a detachable monitor. If you've been on the fence about picking up an iPad or an Amazon Fire, that would almost pay for the entire computer. The Dell Inspiron is a brand-new computer for only $249, nearly 30 percent off its usual $349 sticker price. It's still powerful enough to play most games, browse the Internet, and watch movies and videos. If you're not looking to join Ready Player One just yet, the Dell Inspiron might be just fine for your needs.
Audio
COWIN E7 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones
COWIN E7 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones Bluetooth Headphones with Mic Deep Bass Wireless Headphones Over EarAmazon
Walmart doesn't really shine in the Audio department. They've got a good deal on a BlueTooth speaker, but Amazon definitely has the advantage in terms of selection, and therefore more deals.
If you've been looking for a pair of decent BlueTooth headphones at a respectable print, the COWIN E7 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are one of the best deals we've seen on noise-canceling headphones. These stylish over-the-ear BlueTooth headphones sound exceptional, with a deep, rich bass response. Seeing as how a lot of digital streaming devices cut off the low end, nullifying your music's bass, it's not that common to find a pair of headphones with good bass for $100. Especially not ones that are comfortable enough to wear all day long.
You can get the Cowin E7 headphones from Amazon for a mere $50! You can barely buy a pair of earbuds for that much. Let alone honest-to-goodness noise-canceling headphones.
JBL Flip 4 BlueTooth Speaker
JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Rechargeable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker with Echo Cancelling SpeakerphoneWalmart
About all that Walmart has to offer in the way of audio deals is the JBL Flip 4 BlueTooth Speaker. That's nothing to sneeze at, however, as the Flip 4 is one of JBL's most popular BlueTooth speakers, and for good reason. You can connect up to two smartphones to the speaker simultaneously. You can also link up to 100 JBL speakers to turn the party all the way up, using the JBL's Connect+ feature. You might be able to afford to do so, with the JBL Flip 4 only costing $85.
You won't have to worry about the party getting out of control, either. The JBL Flip 4 is waterproof and can even be fully submerged.
Cameras
NEXGADGET 4K Wi-Fi Action Cam 16MP 4K Waterproof Sports Camera
NEXGADGET 4K Wi-Fi Action Cam 16MP 4K Waterproof Sports Camera 170 Degree Ultra Wide-AngleAmazon
Again, Amazon is the clear victor when it comes to cameras and equipment. They're offering a truly eye-spinning array of DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, GoPros, and camera accessories. Walmart, not so much.
Aspiring videographers will be very inspired by the NEXGADGET 4K Wi-Fi Action Cam 16MP 4K Waterproof Sports Camera on Amazon. You can take this rugged little HD camera absolutely anywhere, even up to 30 m underwater, as it's completely waterproof. Get footage in stunning up to stunning 4k resolution and even take still photography in deep, rich 16MP. If you've been looking to augment your adventure videos, you can do so for less than $50. The Nexgadget 4K Wi-Fi Action Cam is only $42, 30 percent off its suggested retail value.
YI M1 4K 20 MP Mirrorless Digital Camera
YI M1 4K 20 MP Mirrorless Digital Camera Interchangeable Lens 12-40mm F3.5-5.6 LensAmazon
For the fine photographers looking to break into the breaking world of mirrorless cameras, the YI M1 4K 20 MP Mirrorless Digital Camera, also on Amazon, offers a chance to do so for a great introductory rate. It even comes with two additional lenses, for close-ups and long distance shots. It's also compatible with up to 50 other lenses as well, so you can use this tough, classy-looking camera for pretty much anything, in any circumstance. It even shoots video, at a respectable 1080p HD quality.
If you've been looking to experience the difference a lightweight mirrorless camera can make on your photography, here's your chance.
TVs
SAMSUNG 65- inch Class 4K
SAMSUNG 65" Class 4K (2160P) Ultra HD Smart LED TV UN65NU6900 (2018 Model)Walmart
Walmart thrives in the realm of consumer electronics. Maybe it's their showroom background? Either way, they've got a ton of early Black Friday deals on TVs to choose from, at all sizes and price points.
The SAMSUNG 65- inch Class 4K, from Walmart, is particularly striking, as it's a particularly large, extremely beautiful Ultra HD Smart LED TV. It's double the HD of Blu-Ray, capable of a resolution of up to 2160P. You'll practically be able to count Humphrey Bogart's pores as he says goodbye to Ingrid Bergman on that airstrip.
120W 2.1 Channel Surround Sound Bar by TaoTronics
Soundbar, TaoTronics Sound Bars for TV 120W 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Subwoofer Wired & Wireless Bluetooth 4.2 SpeakersAmazon
Weirdly, Amazon doesn't have any stand-out deals on TVs. They've got plenty of deals on TV accessories, like the 120W 2.1 Channel Surround Sound Bar by TaoTronics.
Smartphones
iPhone X
iPhone XWalmart
Yet again, Amazon is the clear winner when it comes to smartphones and accessories. Walmart's got a couple of notable bargains, however.
iPhone's will be popping up on a lot of wish lists this year, as usual. If you're looking to pick up a brand new iPhone X for a decent chunk less than the going rate, Walmart's offering 8 percent off Straight Talk iPhone's. While that might not sound like much, with big-ticket items like a brand-new iPhone, that actually saves you $75. In this instance, you also get $55 of free airtime to sweeten the deal.
iPhone 8Walmart
If you don't need the latest, greatest deals, Walmart's also offering $75 off Straight Talk iPhone 8s, which also includes $55 of free airtime.
Walmart vs. Amazon Early Black Friday Deals: Takeaway
