Get the M1 Pro MacBook Pro for its lowest price ever — plus more big price drops on big brands on Nov. 17

November 17, 2022

We’ve gathered all of the best deals to shop on Nov. 17 — here are our top picks:

While Walmart and Best Buy have been stealing the show lately, Amazon has made its way back into the bargain spotlight on Nov. 17. Black Friday Amazon device deals just dropped and prices are just as good, if not better, than Prime Day. Got an Echo, Fire, or Blink device on your list? Now’s the time to buy — deals like this $40 Fire 7 Tablet and $65 Blink Floodlight Camera are cheaper than they’ve ever been.

That doesn’t mean Walmart and Best Buy have slowed down, BTW. All three big box retailers have plenty of major price drops worth shopping. We’ve rounded up the best deals we could find on Nov. 17, just a little over a week away from Black Friday proper. Start your holiday shopping engines.

Why we like it

While it could be considered “a bit overkill,” as Mashable’s Joseph Volpe put it, the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro is a total beast of a machine. It’s built specifically with creatives in mind as a video editing and graphics workstation, but it certainly is nice for non-creatives as well if you’re willing to pay. This configuration — with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD — regularly retails for $2,500, but Amazon has slashed the price down to $1,999.99 ahead of Black Friday — that’s its lowest price ever.

Why we like it

With a beefed up camera and extra Alexa functions, the second-generation Echo Show 5 is a worthy nightstand hub for managing smart home devices, setting alarms, organizing your calendar, listening to playlists and podcasts, and more. Adding the Blink Mini into the mix lets you keep an eye on the kid’s room, pets, or front door from the Echo’s display. Plus, when you’re not around, you can pull up Blink footage on your phone. The bundle deal is back down to just $49.99 — the same price it was last Black Friday season — which is a total steal for both devices.

Our pick: Google Pixel Buds A-Series

Why we like it

Released in 2021, there’s a few things we really love about the Google Pixel Buds A-Series. First, the form factor and audio output are solid. Second, they work seamlessly for Android users. And perhaps most importantly, they’re an excellent value. As Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry put it, “If price and sound quality are all that matter to you, you’ll have a tough time finding a better value than the new Pixel Buds.” And that was when they were full price — with 50% off (on the olive shade only), this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on these buds.
