5. 500 GB Sony PlayStation 4 Slim Uncharted 4 Bundle + $75 Kohl's Cash: $249 At Kohl's
Gaming console bundles are among the biggest Black Friday sellers, and although the bargains on the PS4 are pretty light this year at many retailers, Kohl's has still got you covered with $75 in additional store credit when buying the recently updated and slimmed down Sony PlayStation 4 for $249, which already discounts the $299 bundle by $50.
4. Inspiron 11 3000 11.6-Inch Laptop With Intel Celeron, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage and Windows 10: $99 at Dell
While the specs on this notebook are pretty light when compared to most, for the price, which is a full half off of the regular price, you can't do better this Black Friday if you're in the market for a serviceable extra laptop or just a great gift under $100.
3. Xbox One S 500 GB Battlefield 1 Bundle + Gears of War 4 + Extra Xbox One Wireless Controller: $249.99 At Dell
Our best Xbox One S Bundle deal also comes from Dell this year. In addition to the standard $50 off of the regular $299 price, Dell is including a top-level game and an extra wireless controller. If you prefer store credits, Kohl's is offering a generous $75 in Kohl's Cash while Target is including a $40 store gift card at the same $249 price.
2. iPad Air 2: From $274.00 At Target
All iPads in Apple's lineup are available at a great price at Target this Black Friday. The 32 GB iPad Air 2 is the biggest bargain of all at $274 as opposed to its usual $399 price, but the iPad Pro and mini are also being offered at big discounts from the retailer.
1. 49" Toshiba 4K Smart LED HDTV With Chromecast Built-In: $199 At Best Buy
Our top pick for best Black Friday deal of all is this bargain from Best Buy. It wasn't long ago when 4K TVs cost a minimum of four figures, and now this one for just $199 checks all the boxes. It's manufactured by a reputable company, Toshiba, is a more than decent size for any room at 49" (those in the market for an even bigger set can check out the 55" Philips 4K Smart TV for $298 at Walmart, and also functions as a Smart TV with built in Google Chromecast. It's a no brainer for anyone looking to buy a new set at a bargain, and the only question is how long these will last on the shelves when Best Buy opens its doors for Black Friday. Our guess is not long enough, so get ready to line up if you want to snag our best Black Friday tech deal of 2016.
