10 best early Black Friday deals this week (Oct 13)

Is it too early to talk about Black Friday deals? No way! The end-of-year shopping season has well and truly begun.

Not only did Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale take place this week, but Walmart and Best Buy also launched huge deals events. The good news is that all three sales included some genuinely impressive offers… and the better news is that some of those deals are still available today. 

And this is only the start – things will get steadily busier from here on in as retailers launch more sales ahead of the big day. Worried you'll miss a great deal? We've got you. The TechRadar team has covered these events for years now, so you can trust us to tell what's worth buying and which products should be on your shopping lists. 

Each week, I'll be picking out the best deals we recommend you buy, and you can also bookmark our main Black Friday deals hub for all the latest news and offers.

Fire TV Stick 4K: was $49.99 now $22.99 at Amazon
Stream your content in 4K resolution with the Fire TV Stick 4K, which is marked down to $22.99 – the lowest price we've ever seen for it. The best-selling Fire Stick allows you to stream your favorite content in 4K Ultra HD resolution with support for Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+, and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. There is a slightly upgraded newer version available, but it costs twice as much and effectively does exactly the same job, so we suggest snagging this for all your streaming needs.View Deal

Google Pixel 8 Pro with Pixel Watch 2: was $1,348 now $999 at Amazon
Order your Google Pixel 8 Pro at Amazon this week to score yourself a free Pixel Watch 2 on the house.

Combining AI smarts and a gorgeous 120Hz display, the Pixel 8 Pro is shaping up to be a fantastic Android flagship – and one that will pair nicely with the Pixel Watch 2.View Deal

Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones: was $379 now $279 at Amazon
The Bose 700 are five years old but are still the best active noise-cancelling headphones you can buy for nixing all that annoying background sound. Is this the best-ever price? No: but it's damn close as they only hit $269 once in December 2022. But, honestly, the Bose 700 are becoming harder to get hold of, and deals are as rare as pirate sea glass, so this is one to snap up now if you want some premium headphones at a great price. View Deal

Samsung 55-inch CU8000 4K Smart TV: was $529.99 now $479.99 at Best Buy
If you don't need a high-end OLED or QLED display but still want a premium picture experience, Samsung's CU8000 Crystal series is a fantastic option, especially now that you can grab this 55-inch model for $479.99. This 4K TV from Samsung packs in that solid 'Crystal' UHD 4K processor, Samsung's smart Tizen operating system and features a sleek, slim design.View Deal

MacBook Air 13-inch (M1): was $999.99 now $749.99 at Amazon
The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an M1 chip is a little old now, but it's still one of the best laptops ever made – and Amazon has the laptop on sale for a record-low price of $749.99 right now when you apply the coupon on the product page. Our MacBook Air M1 review awarded the device 4.5 stars out of five, where we particularly praised Apple's premium device for its speed, responsiveness, beautiful design, and long-lasting battery life.View Deal

This feature-rich Shark vacuum comes with the manufacturer's much-touted anti-hair wrap technology to reduce your time clearing the brush roll in busy homes. This is the cheapest it's been in almost three years, so it's a great buy for a cordless vacuum with anti-allergen capabilities, an impressive 40-minute run-time and a series of multi-tools for use around the home.View Deal

LG C3 65-inch OLED TV (2023): was $2,499.99 now $1,699.99 at Best Buy
The LG C3 OLED TV is one of the best TVs in the world, and Best Buy has the 65-inch model on sale for $1,699.99. That's a whopping $800 discount and the lowest price we've ever seen. The feature-packed OLED TV features a brilliant picture with bright colors and powerful contrast thanks to LG's latest Alpha9 Gen6 chip, plus four HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen consoles, a sleek, thin design, and an updated webOS experience – all for under $2,000.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
