13 Best Deals: Mirrorless Cameras, Sonos Speakers, Scooters, and TVs
Black Friday seems to start earlier and earlier each year in its relentless march across the American calendar. Retailers and manufacturers have traditionally buttoned themselves down and steeled themselves for Black Friday by skimping on deals in the weeks before the big event, but some have snuck in early Black Friday deals on a few of our most recommended products. From Sonos to Apollo to Samsung, there's enough here to whet your whistle if you can't wait--or if you just want to stealthily beat the crowds. We rounded up several other sales earlier this week that are still running, including deals on Chromebooks as well as discounted Arlo security cameras and video doorbells. Special offer for Gear readers: Get WIRED for just $5 ($25 off).
