Ultra-small, the HP Pro Mini 400 G9 is a little different from the best desktop computers as it’s solely focused on taking up the least amount of room while still having key business-focused components. It has an Intel Core i5-13500T processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SSD storage. It’s protected by HP Wolf Security for more advanced protection than you’d get on regular personal PCs.

Best early GPU Black Friday deals: Save on top graphics cards now
The Gigabyte RX 6750 GRE graphics card over a dark background.

Update 11/15/24: While the deals on GPUs don't generally tend to be that great, we've found a lot of great deals as we get closer to Black Friday. We've added a few to the list below, as well as updated the already existing deals so that you can have the latest info.

Building a PC from scratch can be a lot of fun, and with the upcoming Black Friday on November 29, it's a perfect time for you to pick up hardware. One of the most fun bits of any build is picking the parts, and for that, graphics cards are probably the most fun to pick between. That said, GPUs also tend to be the most expensive pieces of hardware that go into a desktop, especially if you're trying to aim for something in the mid-to-high-end range that can easily reach $500 or even $1,000. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite early Black Friday GPU deals for you below.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale
Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.

Early Black Friday RAM deals 2024: 33% off desktop and laptop RAM kits

Update 11/19/24: We've updated all the deals below to the latest pricing, as the deals are getting better the closer November 29 gets, which is the official start of Black Friday. Be sure to check back regularly as we update the prices and add better deals!

If you're thinking of building or upgrading a PC, then you'll really want to grab yourself some great early Black Friday deals on RAM. A lot of folks may not really think about RAM because it's not as big of a deal as a GPU or CPU, but RAM can affect performance, so it's worth grabbing something good. Not only that, but certain operating systems, like Windows 11, love to eat up RAM, so upgrading it can make a huge difference to your day-to-day experience, especially if you're only running 8GBs. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite early Black Friday RAM deals below.
