While Amazon Black Friday rages on, my cart just keeps getting bigger

By Omair Khaliq Sultan Published November 20, 2025

Amazon’s Black Friday week is live, and there are already a few deals that are hard to ignore. I’m trying to be picky, but this mix of a discounted M4 MacBook Air, solid audio upgrades, a Galaxy Watch, and a serious robot vacuum is making that difficult.

Here’s what’s worth a closer look, and why each one has a legitimate case to land in your cart.

The 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch with M4 at $749 (down from $999) is arguably the standout this week. You’re getting the M4 chip, a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB of unified memory, and 256GB of SSD storage. That’s a very workable spec for most people: day-to-day work, browsing, streaming, and even some heavier creative apps.

You also get a 12MP Center Stage camera for cleaner video calls and Touch ID for quick logins. Since it’s built for Apple Intelligence, you’re also covered for Apple’s newer AI features. If you’re on an older Intel MacBook or an early M1 Air, this is a meaningful upgrade at a much more forgiving price.

The Beats Studio Pro at $169.95 (down from $349.99) sits in a nice, sweet spot if you want premium over-ear headphones without paying full flagship money. You get active noise cancelling, up to 40 hours of battery life, and USB-C lossless audio support.

They pair easily with both Apple and Android devices, which is useful if you switch phones or use multiple devices. For commuting, flights, office use, or just listening at home, this is a clean way to step up from cheaper headphones without spending top-tier Sony or Bose prices.

The Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus Series II is one of those speakers that can live pretty much anywhere: kitchen, living room, desk, or patio. At $179, down from $299, it finally feels more aligned with how often you’ll actually use it.

It delivers 360-degree sound, has a built-in handle, and is water-resistant, so you don’t have to baby it. Battery life is solid, and the built-in microphone means it can take calls or handle voice assistant tasks when needed. If your current Bluetooth speaker is a tiny portable unit that struggles to fill a room, this is a noticeable step up.

The Galaxy Watch 7 in the 40mm Bluetooth version is a strong pick for Android users at $129.99 (down from $249.99). This is the 2024 model, so you’re not buying something outdated just to get a discount.

It offers an Energy Score, wellness tips, detailed heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and full fitness tracking in a compact case that doesn’t look out of place with everyday outfits. If you’ve been relying purely on your phone for health data, this is a low-risk way to see what a proper smartwatch can add without spending flagship watch money.

The Roborock Q10 S5 Plus is probably the most “time-saving” deal in this lineup. At $259.99, down from $549.99, it offers a feature set you usually see closer to the high end.

You get up to 10,000Pa suction, 70-day self-emptying, obstacle avoidance, sonic mopping, auto mop lifting, and a dual anti-tangle design, which is especially useful if you have pets or long hair in the house. Once you map your space and set schedules, it quietly keeps floors under control while you’re doing something else. If you’ve been unimpressed by cheaper robot vacs, this is a step up without going all the way to flagship pricing.

If you’re prioritizing, I’d put the MacBook Air at the top if your laptop is aging, and the Roborock if you want to claw back some time on cleaning. The Beats, Bose, and Galaxy Watch 7 are more about making the day-to-day nicer, which is exactly what a good Black Friday cart should do.
