Black Friday 2022 live: has it started today?

One of the best laptops ever made gets a $700 price cut

Dell has launched its Black Friday sale, and it's well worth a look if you need a new laptop. The one that caught our eye is this huge $700 discount on a high-end Dell XPS 15, which drops the price from $2,899 to $2,199.

It's a productivity powerhouse, as you might expect given the price, with new Intel Alder Lake processors and RTX GPUs packed into the classic XPS laptop design. We found that it's even capable of some moderate gaming. We gave it a full five stars in our Dell XPS 15 (2022) review.

Don't buy it if you don't need the best of the best – those specs are going to be overkill for a lot of people. But if you want to own what we think is arguably the perfect computer for most Windows users, this is a good deal. It's the lowest price we've seen so far.

Beats Studio Buds get a $50 price cut before Black Friday

The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made. We gave them 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review: they’re comfortable to wear and they sound great, plus they support active noise cancellation. 

Unfortunately, their call quality isn't perfect and they're missing Apple's H1 Wireless Chip. But at $99.99 – which is their current price at Amazon, down from $149.95 – they're a lot cheaper than Apple's AirPods Pro 2 $234. We think they're an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.
