After treating most of November like Black Friday, Best Buy is tying a bow on its holiday programming with an extended Cyber Monday sale. The event kicked off on Sunday, Dec. 1 and formally runs through Monday, Dec. 2 online, in stores, and on the Best Buy mobile app — but according to its landing page, "some Cyber Deals will be available after Cyber Monday as well."

The tech retailer is serving up two kinds of side dishes with its main course. First, its Cyber Monday sale coincides with a new "25 Days of Deals" event featuring rotating online doorbusters that are only valid for 24 hours (unless they sell out first). They go live at 1:01 a.m. ET every day through Dec. 25, and may sometimes involve multiple items. Today's Deal of the Day stars a 65-inch Insignia 4K Fire TV that's on sale for $289.99 (normally $449.99). Tomorrow's deal will go to a very basic 14-inch Asus laptop.

Best Buy is also releasing rapid-fire "Flash Deals" as part of its Drops program this Cyber Monday. These offers are available in limited quantities for a short while exclusively on the Best Buy mobile app starting at 9 a.m. ET on Dec. 2. Shoppers can preview them in the app or on the homepage of Best Buy's website: Look out for discounts on the Shark FlexStyle and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plans, plus a restock of the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle.

The Mashable Shopping team is tracking and vetting Best Buy's Cyber Monday deals as its sale progresses, and you can check out our running list of the best offers below. Keep in mind that Best Buy offers a Holiday Price Match Guarantee, so if anything you buy there gets cheaper later on, you can request a price adjustment. The retailer's extended holiday return and exchange period is also in effect.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Best Apple deal

Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS)
$329.00 at Best Buy
$399.00 Save $70.00

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

Best Buy is kind of getting clobbered in several categories of Apple deals this Cyber Weekend — MacBooks and AirPods, for two — but it is offering one of the best discounts on a current-gen Apple Watch. The new Series 10 model has a thin, lightweight design with a large display and a built-in speaker, health/fitness features like sleep apnea detection, water depth sensing, and speedy charging. If you own a Series 8 or older, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder recommends upgrading to it for that last reason alone. (No need to do so if you already have a Series 9.)

The 42mm size sans cellular connectivity is on sale at Best Buy for $329, which is 18% off its normal list price and its lowest price to date (and also matched at Amazon). Take your pick from three colorways: jet black/black, rose gold/light blush, and silver/denim.

If you'd prefer a slightly bigger case, the 46mm Series 10 is only $30 more this Cyber Monday.

Best 4K TV deal

Credit: Hisense
Hisense 75-inch QD6 QLED 4K Google TV
$449.99 at Best Buy
$699.99 Save $250.00

Why we like it

Cyber Weekend is all about huge discounts on huge TVs, and this 75-inch Hisense model is a perfect case in point: At just $450, it's far cheaper than any other TV of its size right now. (Walmart had a 75-incher listed for $378 during its first Black Friday Deals event, but it's long sold out.) The fact that it has a bright and vibrant QLED display, not a standard 4K screen, sweetens the deal even further.

At the time of writing, Mashable staffers were seeing different availability depending on their location. If it's out of stock near you by the time you read this, note that Best Buy also has a 75-inch Samsung 4K TV on sale for $549.99 (normally $749.99), a lingering doorbuster from its Black Friday sale — though it's not a QLED model.

Best laptop deal

Why we like it

This is the base configuration of the slick new Surface Pro 11, which has a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, a 13-inch touchscreen LCD display, and a nice 1440p webcam. We haven't tried it ourselves just yet, but it's rated at up to 14 hours of battery life. (If it's anything like Microsoft's other Qualcomm-powered laptop, that should definitely hold up IRL.)

The Surface Pro 11 is technically advertised as a 2-in-1 Copilot+ PC. Normally, there's one big problem with this laptop: all of its accessories are sold separately — including the Surface Pro Keyboard that would make it functional as a laptop. But for Cyber Monday, you can get a Surface Pro 11 bundle with a keyboard on sale for $899.99 — $100 cheaper than it was during Black Friday (for a total savings of 33%). For comparison's sake, the device itself is only $20 less at Amazon and the Microsoft Store.

Be sure to request a price adjustment from Best Buy if you bought the bundle at its higher Black Friday price.

Best headphone/earbud deal

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
$229.00 at Best Buy
$299.00 Save $70.00

Why we like them

Read Mashable's full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth deemed Bose's QC Ultra buds "impressive in every way": They have unrivaled ANC, they last six hours at a time (which you can bump to 24 hours with their included charging case), and they fit as nicely as their name implies. They also have an Immersive Audio feature that shifts sound around you as you move — it's not a game-changer, but it's still "really cool," said Beck Werth, who ultimately rated the QC Ultra Earbuds a 4.6/5. They're our No. 1 noise-cancelling earbuds and a Mashable Choice Award winner.

They usually retail for $299, but you can snag them on sale at Best Buy for $229 — a 23% savings and their lowest price since launching last fall. Amazon and Bose's online storefront were both matching that discount when we last checked, FYI.

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the Oura Ring Gen3.

The previous-gen Oura Ring is an excellent fitness wearable with heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, temperature and activity tracking, and a multi-day battery life — all wrapped up in a sleek, durable titanium design. It's on sale at Best Buy this Cyber Monday for $50 to $200 off, depending on the style and finish (starting from $249.99).

Best gaming deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

Most gaming laptops are clunkers. Not the ROG Zephyrus G14, one of our favorite mid-range models of 2024: It has a "MacBook Pro-esque design" featuring a pretty OLED display, crisp speakers, and a great keyboard, "allowing it into blend into office spaces for work," our reviewer wrote. However, "it transforms into a gaming beast by night." Our testing configuration with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU had no trouble running graphically intense games like Cyberpunk 2077, though it did get a tad hot in the process. Overall, we gave it a 4.3/5.

After holding out on us during its Black Friday sale, Best Buy has listed the exact model we tried for $1,199.99 as a Cyber Monday deal — a 25% discount on its $1,599.99 MSRP.

Best action camera deal

GoPro Hero13 Black Bundle
$349.99 at Best Buy
$449.99 Save $100.00
Includes free $25 Best Buy gift card

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the GoPro Hero13 Black.

A Mashable Choice Award winner, GoPro's latest action camera "is way better than a $400 video camera has any right to be," wrote Beck Werth (who gave it a 4.7/5). Highlights include "insanely good motion stabilization," a slow-motion burst mode in 5.3K at 120 fps, and a better battery life than its predecessor. This accessory bundle tacks on a spare Enduro battery, a hand grip, a 64GB microSD card, two curved adhesive mounts, and a camera case.

Best Buy has it on sale for $349.99 (or $100 off) and throws in a free $25 gift card you can put toward other Cyber Monday deals. Considering the camera itself is on sale separately for $339.99 (typically $399.99), you're basically robbing Best Buy blind. The GoPro website was offering the same deal at the time of writing, but there's no gift card freebie offered there.
