Black Friday isn’t always the best time to buy a computer or phone. It’s easy to get ripped off by a deal that seems too good to be true (it usually is). To save you a few headaches, and a lot of dollars, we’ve compiled some WIRED picks for the best PCs and mobile device deals going on Black Friday weekend, some of which are already available. All of these deals are purchasable online, not in-store. If you insist on trudging through the crowds, we wish you the best, but you won’t find a lot of help here, outside the Black Friday ads linked below.
(Be sure to also check out our main Black Friday[1] and Cyber Monday[2] deals guides for a lot more sales.)
Handpicked WIRED Black Friday Guides:
Our Favorite Laptop, Phone, and Device Deals
USB-C Hub to Add Ports for Your MacBook Pro - $42 ($68 off)
Apple's latest MacBook Pro 13-inch is not rich on ports. Apple only included two USB-C ports. This dongle solves that issue. It adds two standard USB 3 ports, standard SD card, and MicroSD card support, along with one USB-C port so you can still charge your laptop.
Anker 13,000mAh Portable Phone Charger - $24 ($20 off)
There’s nothing exciting about buying a portable charger, but if you need one, this is a fantastic one. Anker makes durable, solid accessories and 13,000mAh is enough to charge most phones four times over. It has two high-speed USB 3.0 ports and comes with a charge cord.
Motorola Moto X4 with Special Offers - $300 ($100 off)
