If someone on your gift list this year is a big techie, you may want to get them something from Apple, Google, Samsung or another big brand. But once you look at the price tags of their most popular devices, you may get discouraged. Thankfully, you dont have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a tech gift for someone that has all the cachet of a brand they know and love. These are some of the best gifts you can get from Apple, Samsung, Sony and other big tech companies that come in at $100 or less. Remember: you can often find alternatives that are just as good (and sometimes better) than these, but for the people in your life for which brand names really do matter, these gifts will speak to them.

Lets cut to the chase. The chaos of Black Friday sales is here, and for the last week, weve been detangling the best deals on some of the best tech. Weve got guides for specific categories, like cameras, Apple gear, gaming and more, but weve also pulled together 50(ish) of the best discounts right here. After so many years of BF sales, mileage varies, but here are some of my cherry-picked highlights: AirPods Pro 2 are at $154, an all-time low price Disney+ Hulu bundle one-year subscription is $36 (thats $96 off, but its the ad-supported flavor) Elden Ring for PS5 for $20 (a heady 67 percent off) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $30 ($40 off) Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for $280 ($70 off) Dyson V15 Detect Absolute cordless vacuum for $550 ($200 off) I already own four of those picks, so Im regretting this Friday morning.

Tencent A post-apocalyptic world of humans in primitive-style garb battling giant dinosaur-like robots: Weve definitely seen this before. This isnt another Horizon game from Guerrilla. Oh, no, no. This is an initial look at a game called Polaris Quest from a Tencent subsidiary. I mean, sure, we had Dinobots in the 80s, butthis looks bafflingly close to Aloys adventures. One image shows a trio of human characters using bows and spears to tackle a mammoth-style machine. Even the games logo font looks like Horizon. Continue reading. CRKDs Nitro Deck+ keeps its best features and adds typical stick layout Extra buttons and firmware tweaks add to the upgrade. Engadget CRKDs Nitro Deck turned my OLED Switch into an OLED Switch Lite, in a way. It added chunkier grips to both sides of the screen, a more logical USB-C charging passthrough and substantial triggers. It felt like a proper controller. The Nitro Deck+ is largely the same premise: a handheld deck for your Switch slate, no detachable Joy-Cons (and thus no drift) programmable buttons and I hate to write this a better hand feel.

The Chiefs (10-1) host the Raiders (2-9) in a game the home team is unsurprisingly the favorite to win. But last holiday season, the two teams faced off at Christmas, and the Raiders dealt a win in a shocking upset so anything could happen. The game kicks off at 3PM ET on Amazon Prime Video and locally on KSHB-TV 41 if you want to be retro about it / dont want to pay Amazon. You can tune into pregame coverage from 1:30PM ET.

If youve been patiently waiting to buy a robot vacuum for your home, one of Engadgets favorites is on sale for Black Friday. Amazon has discounted the Shark AI Ultra by 50 percent to $300. With the price cut, the AI Ultra is only $5 more than it was for Prime Day in July. Whats more, the model thats on sale comes with a docking station that can store up to 60 days, instead of 45 days, of dirt and debris. As mentioned, the Shark AI Ultra is one of Engadgets favorite robovacs; in fact, its the model our reviewer thinks most people should buy. The AI Ultra offers reliable cleaning performance, accurate in-home mapping and an app that makes it easy to get the most out of your new vacuum. Another consideration is the AI Ultra comes with a base station that features a bagless design. In our view, thats one of the primary reasons to buy Sharks robovac over competing models. While some of the AI Ultras rivals will cost you less upfront, over the lifetime of one of those devices you may end up spending more due to their potential reliance on proprietary garbage bags. The AI Ultra is also great if you value a vacuum thats quiet. In our testing, Sharks model produced significantly less noise than some of the other robovacs Engadget tested. It also did a commendable job of avoiding cat toys and other obstacles, with an object detection feature that allows the robovac to detect things as small as four inches. As long as you dont need a built-in mop, the Shark AI Ultra is a great purchase, especially at $300 off. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/sharks-excellent-ai-ultra-robot-vacuum-is-half-off-for-black-friday-120022146.html?src=rss
