Here are our picks for the eight best early Black Friday tech deals at Argos.

Amazon Fire HD 8
NOW £39.99
WAS £99.99
SAVE £60
If all you want a small tablet for is to stream video on all the family apps from Netflix to BBC iPlayer, browse the web and social media, send email and maybe read a Kindle book or two, the Amazon Fire HD 8 for a penny under £40 is a no-brainer.
Yes, you have to put up with ads on the lock screen, and 32GB is not much storage, but as a streaming device you can’t really go wrong. Just remember you can’t download any Google apps, so Gmail and YouTube are a no-no.

PlayStation 5 & EA Sports FC26 bundle
NOW £289.99
WAS £429.99
SAVE £140
Picking up the PS5 (digital edition, so there’s no disc drive) with EA Sports FC26 for less than £300 is an excellent price, saving you a huge £140. The RRP of the console alone is £429.99. This package comes with one DualSense controller.
The PS5 has 825GB storage so you can download umpteen games from the store to your heart’s content, with backwards compatibility to play more than 4,000 PS4 titles too.

Garmin Forerunner 165
NOW £169.99
WAS £249
SAVE £79
If you want an incredibly feature-rich GPS running watch but don’t want to break the bank, this is the Garmin for you. Despite the Forerunner name, it can also track several other sports, from hiking to cycling and beyond.
With up to 11 days of battery life, touchscreen and button controls and a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED display, this is the watch to go for if you value health and fitness data and longevity over the third party apps offered by rival products such as the Apple Watch, which can only last a day or two on a charge.

Amazon Echo Dot 5 smart speaker
NOW £29.99
WAS £54.99
SAVE £25
Amazon’s little smart speaker is always popular and now it’s £25 cheaper for Black Friday. Connected to Wi-Fi, you can ask the Alexa voice assistant search queries or to play music once it’s linked up to your music streaming service of choice.
You can also use it to set alarms and other functions, as well as control any of your smart home devices such as lights. You can even connect two for double the audio power or link them to your Fire TV Stick to be used as stereo speakers for your TV.

Apple MacBook Air M2. (Image: Apple)
Apple MacBook Air M2
NOW £699
WAS £999
SAVE £300
This is a very good price indeed for a MacBook Air with the powerful M2 chipset. It was released in 2022, but is still an excellent choice for all but the most demanding laptop users with 256GB storage, 13.6-inch display and up to 18 hours of battery life.
16GB RAM keeps things ticking over without slowing down, plus with an HD webcam for video calls, two Thunderbolt 2 ports over USB-C and a headphone jack, you’ll be good to go for work and play.

Amazon Kindle 2024. (Image: Amazon)
Amazon Kindle 2024
NOW £69.99
WAS 94.99
SAVE £25
You won’t likely find a Kindle for cheaper than this over the Black Friday period, with Argos matching Amazon’s low price. £69.99 is an excellent deal on the latest entry-level Kindle, as long as you don’t mind lockscreen ads.
It’s the smallest and lightest Kindle with a 6-inch frontlit screen, Wi-Fi for downloading books, 16GB of storage to store thousands of them, and weeks of battery life.

Samsung Galaxy A36 5G. (Image: Samsung)
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G 256GB
NOW £249.98
WAS £299.99
SAVE £50
If you want a large 120Hz OLED display with Samsung’s familiar Android software but don’t want to fork out for the firm’s priciest phones, the Galaxy A36 is a solid deal at this price. It has 5G, dual cameras, 256GB storage and a large 5,000mAh battery.
You also get some of Samsung and Google’s AI software tools, plus everything else you’d expect on a smartphone in 2025 including tap to play. Plus it’ll get software updates until 2031.

Bush DAB Bluetooth Wooden Radio. (Image: Bush)
Bush DAB Bluetooth Wooden Radio
NOW £27.99
WAS £39.99
SAVE £12
Remember when DAB radios were the latest in modern tech? In 2025 they feel retro, but there is a lot to be said about having a radio in the kitchen instead of a smart speaker. This very well-priced Bush radio is a great way to get the tunes going – remember when it was a DJ’s job rather than a playlist?
You can also connect your phone via Bluetooth if you want to revert to your own audio. Keep things powered up with the mains adapter or 4 C batteries (not included).
