Best Buy has joined the conveyor belt of retailers launching Black Friday sales by kicking off its huge end-of-year deals event with several early access doorbusters. There are impressive offers up for grabs, so I've picked out all of the highlights on TVs, appliances, laptops and more if you're keen to shop today.

• See all of today's deals at Best Buy

A quick note: the majority of these offers are only available exclusively to My Best Buy Plus and Total members right now. They will be available to all from November 8, so if you're happy to wait until tomorrow then do come back to pick them up later. However, Plus and Total members, or if you're interested in signing up for My Best Buy, you can add them to your basket now.

As for the deals I think you need to see, they include this Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Vacuum for $229.99 (was $499.99) – an incredible price for one of the manufacturer's basic but capable vacuums. It's also a great time to shop for Apple tech as the older but still incredibly powerful MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3) is down to a record-low price of $1,099 (was $1,399).

I'll continue sharing all the top deals from the Best Buy Black Friday sale once it's open to all from tomorrow. You can also stick with TechRadar and follow our huge Black Friday deals hub for coverage of all the top offers from Best Buy and more retailers over the next few weeks.

And remember, most purchases from now until December 31 are under the Best Buy Holiday Price Match Guarantee, meaning if you see it cheaper than what you paid at Best Buy or an eligible retailer you can get a refund of the difference.

The Sony Bravia 8 is back at its lowest price yet ahead of Black Friday. As one of the best TVs for sound, it's an ideal choice if you want stellar sound without paying extra for a soundbar. Its OLED screen might not be the brightest of them all, but it still manages to rival the picture quality of its competitors using its brightness-boosting Bravia XP Processor. You can even use it with your gaming console of choice thanks to the two HDMI ports (out of four total) that support 4K/120 Hz gaming.

This Apple tablet may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. If you need an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this can do it all without issue.

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Celeron
RAM - 4GB
Storage - 64GB
OS - ChromeOS

This Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook is a basic device but it's ridiculously cheap, making it a great buy for light use such as general browsing and schoolwork. It also boasts full-day battery life thanks to the lean but perfectly functional Chrome OS from Google, meaning it's best suited for students or those always on the move. If you have under $200 to spend and need a cheap laptop then you won't find a better option right now ahead of Black Friday.

MacBook Air M2 (2022): was $999 now $799 at Best Buy
Display - 13 inches
Processor - Apple M2
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - macOS

While this is a good price for the MacBook Air M2, I'd suggest waiting to see if the previous record-low of $649 is made available again nearer to Black Friday. Even though a newer M3 version is available, we concluded that this is still one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. For those needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing and more intense workloads, this is a good offer on an Apple machine right now.

Best Buy has dropped the price of the Apple MacBook Pro with M3 chip to just over $1,000. This is $200 cheaper than the previous record-low price.

Read more about why we loved it so much in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3) review.

Sony WF-C700N: was $119.99 now $99.99 at Best Buy
The WF-C700N remain some of the best budget earbuds around, more than a year after their launch, especially now they've slipped to under $100 at Best Buy. Our five-star Sony WF-C700N review goes into why we rate them so highly, but the short version is that the mix of sound quality, noise cancellation power and comfort is basically unmatched. Especially at this price, which has only been beaten once before by $10.

Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249.99 now $169.99 at Best Buy
This is a great low price for the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support – matching the record-low price. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.

More recommendations for tech that I own. I'm wearing a pair of Bose QuietComfort Headphones as I type this.

They've been my long and essential companion for work, commuting and flying for many years now. I love them for the excellent audio quality and impressive noise cancellation (the number of times I've missed deliveries wearing these is too many to count).

And now these excellent cans are down to a record-low price in the Best Buy Black Friday sale.

If you want to upgrade to the manufacturer's premium offering, you can also save $100 on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. I haven't used these but they are near-perfect according to our review, with even better noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, a slick design and rich sound.

Our current pick for the best TV you can buy down to its lowest price ever. Need I say any more than that?

Well, I can, because I actually own this TV. I picked it up during last year's Black Friday and it's been terrific for the last 12 months. Picture quality is stunning when watching shows and movies, performing especially well with the 4K versions of Mad Max Fury Road, Dune and The Matrix.

It crushes it in the gaming department, too, with a smooth and responsive experience on my PS5. The Monster Hunter Wilds beta especially popped when I was playing recently – despite the performance issues with the game itself.

Overall, the Samsung S90C is a terrific all-around display. One strongly recommended by myself and TechRadar's team of TV experts.

The MacBook Pro M4 is here, so it's no surprise to see retailers like Best Buy discounting the previous generation M3 models. But even thought it's older it's still an incredible powerful and capable laptop – and even better now you can get it for a record-low price.

If you have high demands from your laptop or want an Apple device that'll smash through photo editing, video editing, coding and much more then this is a fantastic pick up in the Best Buy sale. Chances are, with the model discontinued, it won't be available for much longer so snag this bargain while you can.

Undoubtedly the main highlight of the Best Buy Black Friday sale so far is this huge $270 discount on the brand-new Dyson Digital Slim Vacuum Cleaner.

As you probably know, Dyson makes some of the best vacuum cleaners in the world – and because of that they usually come at a premium price. So, the chance to pick up one of these appliances for a little over $200 is an extremely rare sight and one I think is worth taking full advantage of while you can.

As for the specifics of this previously unheard-of model, the specs seem to suggest that it's similar to the entry-level Dyson V8 in terms of power and performance. It's a fairly basic vacuum, then, but for general cleaning around the home in a pet-free home this is more than up to the task – and at a great budget-friendly price when it comes to Dyson.
