You don't have to wait until Black Friday to score these deals from Amazon. These stellar early discounts on Wirecutter-approved products are already available.

Amazon has played a pivotal role in shaping Black Friday into what it is today: as one of the largest online retailers globally, Amazon’s influence on consumer shopping behavior cannot be overstated. Unlike Prime Day which is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, Black Friday is an event open to everyone and makes it accessible for all shoppers.

It’s no surprise that the Google Pixel phone is on offer now that Black Friday is upon us. The company’s own store has just launched price cuts of $150 of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. But if you’re in the market for a new phone from Google, Amazon’s prices are as good as those, or even better.

But here’s the good news — thanks to this Black Friday deal, this 15-inch 2024 MacBook Air is $300 off. We’re not talking about an outdated model — this is the newest MacBook Air — so a saving like this is a big deal.

If you need a cheap, portable Mac, then check out Amazon's deal on the 13-inch MacBook Air with M3, offered at $255 off the retail price.
