Black Friday: the two words that strike a mix of fear and excitement in me as a deals hunter for TechRadar. I didn't expect to see them so soon, but Best Buy has decided to kick off a Black Friday in July sale this week. So, even though it's earlier than planned, I've dug into the retailer's surprise sale and picked out 35 of the best deals that I'd consider buying now.

As with every Best Buy sale, this week's event features a usual mix of savings across TVs, appliances, laptops, headphones, smartwatches, and more. And while it may be light on record-low prices, there are still some strong offers for this time of the year that rival what we usually see around Black Friday.
We're in back-to-school sales season and I think that one of the strongest offers is this HP OmniBook 3 for $549.99 (was $949.99). With its Snapdragon X processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD, this is a powerful and efficient all-around option for school, college, work, and even just general everyday use.
I also want to shout out this Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle for $499.99. It includes a Switch 2 console and a free copy of a game of your choice: either Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia. That represents a saving of up to $29.99, which we'll take in this era of price hikes on games consoles.
I've picked out several more standout deals below in several categories, so have a browse and see if anything interests you. The Best Buy Black Friday in July sale runs through the whole of the week and ends on Sunday.
