An Anker Power Bank (24,000mAh) has a £40 discount right now on Amazon UK.

This is a really nice piece of tech that has helped me to work outside the house with peace of mind. Can keep my phone charged (which I use for tethering) for over a week, no problem. Drains way quicker when charging my M1, but that one has far less battery issues when compared to my phone.

The discount is real, as well. I know because I bought it recently, but you can also check it against camelcamelcamel or keepa.

Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones for $228 (normally $350) at pretty much every store (Sony, Amazon, Best Buy, etc). Just got them and they are great but I never had wireless headphones. They do take 10-20 seconds to connect to my iPad, but that might be because they are also set up with my phone. I considered the newer version but the reviews made it seem like it wasn't a huge upgrade and in some ways a downgrade,…

I have the newer XM5s. The main reason for me to go with them instead of the cheaper XM4s was the call quality.

I use my headphones very often in conference calls and the XM5s have excellent microphones compared to their predecessors. Side note: before, I have tested the Bose QC45 but those microphones are absolutely garbage. Sad, because the QC35 microphones were good.

I don’t mind that the XM5s don’t fold anymore. In a way I like the new design better compared to my wife’s XM3s.

TainwindUI all access bundled with Refactoring UI book for free, pretty good value for engineers looking to get better at design.

Free? It's 30% off.

I think they used to sell the book for 150$, ui for 299$, so yes 30% off the bundle, I looked at it as, free book but with full subscription.

Generally I find Black Friday a bit overhyped, the "bargains" are best checked against price history with (say) CamelCamelCamel before you buy.

Not Black Friday, but in the UK and maybe other countries, Amazon Warehouse is currently doing a 20% off sale, so 20% off the price when you get to checkout.

I've had a few good "As New" things off there in the past, worth having a look.

There's also a 50% off books sale on the UK Warehouse, loads of tech books, though I don't know how many decent ones are left.

Specific Black Friday deals though: Quest Apps on sale:

For those of us old enough to remember when holiday sales really did start on the day after Thanksgiving, in my area, most of the shops started their Black Friday sales on Monday. If you waited until today, you missed out on a lot.
