Yes, I shop for myself (along with my loved ones) on BF.

I doubt it will go on sale, but I'm really wanting the DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone. Also looking at a new NAS. Maybe the Synology D218. As a filmmaker, I have my eye on the DJI Ronin S Gimbal. Also need a new UPS for the house.

What ya'll got?

Looking for a sale on a TCL 43" 4k TV that i can use as a computer monitor. The 49, 55, and 65 inch models were all on sale yesterday, but not the 43....

Other than that, there will probably just be a bunch of impulse buys..

Getting some Hue Light Strips to finish off my downstairs.

Looking to build a gaming PC, so just checking how much I can get off on each component. Been using an iMac for the last 15+years, and last time I build a PC was pre 2000. Luckily now it's easier to check compatibility. Just hoping to find some deals.

Those 21:9 monitors are calling to me...

Google home hub and maybe some more hue lights.

Pixel 3 for the rib. Nothing for me, I've bought too much crap I don't need already.

New HP Spectre computer after my last one got stolen. We've already gotten 2 tvs, a Macbook for my fiance and an XB1X. That insurance check came at a good time of year

Got a Mavic 2 Pro a few weeks ago. It is BADASS. Brought it out to a friend's ranch last weekend. So sick. Haven't seen any discounts on it for BF

We're scouting Black Friday sales for an all in one color laser printer

Prefer wireless, catridge (not ink), home office application.
Would like to keep it under $400

Anyone got any suggestions for a model to look for?

And maybe where?
Thanks

I doubt they will discount it this soon. Likely the Mavic AIR and Mavic Pro will be discounted as bundles.

I'm maybe in the market for a laptop, you see a deal on that one? You happy with that laptop I'm guessing?

Best buy is having some deals on them for BF. I bought one in 2015 and it worked great for me. Used it for some streaming, as a tablet, some video editing and some light gaming. Never had any issues.

Nintendo Switch for the kiddos. Maybe a new receiver to connect everything since my current one died after a lightning strike. Have thought about replacing living room TV with a bigger 4K unit, but that's going to be a hard sell to the wife when my 2010 55" Toshiba still works perfectly and is just too big physically to go anywhere else in the house.

A 2nd Nintendo Switch so my oldest and I can game together and, maybe, a new vid card to replace the 970 I have now.

Not shopping in person, because ain't nobody got time for that!

Sonos beam bar. Maybe a google home hub but not sure I'd actually use the screen. HomePod at $100 off was tempting but I decided to pass.

Perhaps a mesh network.

And a few of the new Echo Dots for the kids.

Maybe some more bulbs that are compatible with my SmartThings hub.

Love them.

Paired with a wifi thermostat, smart bulbs, and a music service, best purchase ever.

That said, Google Home can do the same things.

I prefer google home just because I have chromecast and chromecast audio and those are not compatible with the Amazon products. I mostly use it for shopping list and to cast streaming music to pool or garage speakers with a voice command.

I have google mesh WIFI with 3 nodes and it really helps with wifi coverage.

Only "gadget" I may shop for is an external hard drive for my PS4. Any tips on that?

Yeah, it's pretty much all about what ecosystem you are most invested in.

40" Hisense 1080p TV for $99

I know it won't be the best of quality but for that good a deal it's hard to pass up.

TCL 55S405 for $350 right now

Does anybody have this one? It's the 2017 model

https://smile.amazon.com/TCL-55S405-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01MTGM5I9/ref=sr_1_1_acs_ac_2?s=amazon-devices&ie=UTF8&qid=1542836040&sr=8-1-acs&keywords=tcl

It's pulling at me

ETA- looks like the HDR tech changed from HDR10 to DolbyHDR. I don't know anything about this stuff anymore, which one does Xbox One support?

Need to get a Nest, the Carrier digital thermostat the builder installed is pretty crappy. Looks like Costco has a deal with a Nest and a Google Home Mini.

Walmart site got slow as **** and they sold out in minutes, as expected. Oh well, I was a little dubious of the brand and the fact that it was a TV made especially for Black Friday.

Ended up going with a 43" Insignia for $179 on Best Buy.

Since my PSU died last night, one of them! Micro Center has EVGA 850 Gold GQ semi modular for $70 in store.

Going to grab one while I start the warranty process on the broken one.

Apple Watch Series 4 - however, there is not one sale out there. Was going to get the 3 to replace my broken 3(w/o care...another story but the wife said get the 4!

Need a kid-friendly drone. Read that amazon will have a Monday sale on the Parrot Mambo for $55.

Fitbit Alta hr for my 11-yr old. Will buy from Kohl's today

I'm looking for the same. Check Dell's website. They have some Lexmark and Xerox options. I don't know anything about them, but I'm all about getting out of the inkjet game.

65" 4K tv. My oldest tv (Samsung GT Plasma) suddenly won't show a picture now. Might actually be a bad cable or port on the tv, but I was probably going to replace it soon anyway.
