It’s almost that time again, with (hopefully) major retailers both on the high street and online trying to slash prices and grab a large chunk of your business.

With Amazon officially kicking off the deals on their site from Friday the 22nd Nov although there are some early deals already being listed.

Also, don't forget that many sites have a seperate Cyber Monday (officially the 2nd Dec) sale, so don't forget to keep an eye out for that.

Admittedly, the past few years have appeared to have fewer low end bargains, but plenty to be had higher up the ladder.

As always, we have this thread to allow you to post any good deals you see as well as requesting if others can keep an eye out for something for you.

 

Please find below some useful links which we hope will point you in the right direction for some good offers. Some of these links are not live yet (for good reason) but please keep them in mind.

And don’t forget to check Camel Camel Camel first just in case the ‘bargain’ you've found isn’t quite what it seems - https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/

Also, please do not post links from third party sites i.e. you saw the link on someone elses site and copied that. Try and post a link to the item on the site it is being sold on directly where possible

Good hunting and thanks to @hardtailstar for beating me to this by 5 mins and the Wiggle link!

The HDD(s) or the NAS itself (since Synology don't make HDDs)?

 

The NAS itself. I already have HDDs. It's very hard to find discounted Synology gear online in my experience.

A decent RGB gaming KB for my son. He wants a Razer, although I think there are better or the same to be had for cheaper. Edited by Dos_Box

I think I'm just after a pair of earbuds this year as mine recently broke.

Annoyingly, more and more of them seem to either be "cheap and crap" or "those bloody annoying ones that actually go into your ear canal and stop you being able to hear anything else.. and then hurt after about half an hour"

 

Though I might pick up a switch game or two.

Or a desk. I could do with a new PC desk at home :lol:

Maybe worth keeping an eye on Richer Sounds - https://www.richersounds.com/black-is-back-2019

They have some headphones on offer here already - https://www.richersounds.com/promotions/blackfriday2019-headphones.html

Although Amazon beat their Airpod price - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Airpods-Charging-latest-Model/dp/B07PZR3PVB/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=apple+airpods&qid=1574164297&sr=8-5 £129 isn't a bad price at all!

Unfortunately I have no love for Apple gear, nor Bluetooth headphones (because I'd only go and lose one of them, or forget to charge them, or lose the charger...) and I don't really like 'big' headphones that go over-the-ear either. They're either small enough to be uncomfortable because they barely cover your ear and squish your ear cartilage in against your head, or they're too big to carry around because they go completely around the ear (else I'd just take my Audio-Technicas with me everywhere :p)

I just want to use them with a 'dumb' mp3 player. Yeah, yeah, I know, "Don't you guys have phones?" but I abhor intentionally implementing SPoFs and the MP3 player battery only needs charging every 12-14 days.

 

I just want a pair of wired earbuds that sit behind the tragus and anti-tragus without you having to lodge them into the ear canal, preferably without tinsel cable so they're a bit more durable. But apparently there's no market for that any more :rolleyes:

I'm a pain, I know :)

This looks like a handy little item. A USB 3.0 ethernet adaptor with 3 x USB ports (USB 3.0) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-3-0-Hub-Aluminum-ChromeBook-Black/dp/B0792S3SMB/ref=gbps_img_m-8_8927_1522290e?smid=A3QDNQS5TGDYWI&pf_rd_p=3f43bc40-0b9c-47bf-8593-534a985d8927&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=14235985031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=3Z6DM7QDYKB5XBE88HVM and for a pocket freindly £11.19.

Handly for smaller notebooks with few interfaces.

Some Black Friday 'Early Bird' ebuyer deals... Do you think the average SSD price is going to come down much?

 

Seems like going from 250GB to 500GB isn't that much more expensive, but 500GB to 1TB nearly doubles the price!

 

I know a lot of people recommend the Samsung drives... are they worth it?

 

https://www.ebuyer.com/824749-samsung-860-evo-500gb-ssd-mz-76e500b-eu

If it was a choice between Smasung and Crucial, I'd go for Samsung every day I think. Their drives are always well regarded and come with excellent warranties.

TBH, I think I'd hold back a little longer and see what comes up, although, looking at CamelCamelCamel, it's never been as cheap as that (on Amazon at any rate) - https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-860-EVO-SATA-Internal/product/B078WQT6S6
