Black Friday 2025
 

It's coming up.

What are you guys planning on getting?

What's an alternate to vessi's you guys like? i don't use them for travel (vessi's suck for walking), just going out locally

Looking at Bellroy wallets thanks to the new thread

I love my Vessis for travelling lol. Depends which model you buy, especially if you're needing more heel support. I've managed to do Japan trips no problem with my Weekends. Looking to buy more since they have a pre-black Friday sale on right now.

Not sure what I'd bother buying this year for BF. Curious to see what others here have their eye on.

Haven't found good deals for a while. Usually just look for good cell phone plans on BF

Most of my Vessi shoes ends up being in a warranty claim for either it leaking, or the sole separating from the shoe.

But in terms of their warranty claims, it has been pretty painless. My 5 pairs alone have been warranty claimed.

Interested in a reputable front/rear dash cam.

hoping to score a deal on the Samsung Fold 7

hopefully they don't double down on discounting only the mint color

Sim racing chassis/shifter/hand brake
Motherboard/CPU/Ram/Case

nothing in particular but my obligatory post...

In need of a new burr grinder

I want a slow-press juicer, either the Nama J2 or the Hurom H400.

I want to get another Braun wall clock for my workshop

11/11 is the big sale time here, and I got in on a lot of good deals on Taobao. Got a microscope for $250 from AmScope's OEM that they charge $550 for

I am not looking at BF deals, but for once, I am actually looking at AliExpress for a cheap Android tablet during their Nov 11 (ie. 1111) sales.

Inventory searches / listing is absolute garbage though. I can't find the exact item that I found a day or two ago, and similar items -- basically identical specs items -- are sold by different sellers at different prices. Descriptions in titles / headings don't match the description in the photos, which also doesn't match the description in the specification section.

WTF man... :fulloffuck:

What's your price range? Generally RedFlagDeals recommend this Lenovo Android tablet:

You'll need to be comfortable flashing a global rom to get Google services back in.

BTW Rakuten is also showing 30% cash back for AliExpress.

What is cheap?

Walmart is doing $320 on a iPad 9th gen. Sure it's 2 generations behind but if you are going for cheap you are likely getting similar or worse performance.

It's $499 for a iPad "11 gen" (they don't call it that) from the Apple store if you want current.

Costco had a iPad 10th gen 256 for $499 for quite awhile, not sure if they are still doing that.

I find that Android tablets just aren't popular. If anyone is using a tablet it's typically going to be an iPad.

Oh when I say cheap, I really mean cheap -- like $150 - $200 cheap LOL~

The AliExpress options in that price range are claiming to have good specs. But looking even just slightly deeper into it suggests they aren't shipping out the product that was being advertised, with the unit you receive being a noticeably inferior item. So that just doesn't sound like a viable idea anymore.

Amazon's options just look like a guy buying a whole bunch of tablets off AliExpress, and is now reselling them while padding in some extra margin.

The next up option seems to go back to a legitimate brand name item -- Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. But then we're looking at $200+tax...

Maybe the idea needs to be scrapped after all...

What's the use case for the cheap tablet?

Toilet Tab (mount in front of toilet for extended shitty sessions)

I have almost zero trust when it comes with smart devices or even electronics with Temu or Aliexpress unless you are prepared to throw that amount of money away in hopes for a gamble on something that's viable.

I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a mechanical keyboard a few years ago, but that was through much research and buying a known brand.

Some used Lenovo M10 on FB for ~$150 ... is M10 a decent model?

If anyone stumbles across an el cheapo laptop pls let me know. No hardcore gaming, just Roblox, YouTube, Netflix etc for a kid.

An actual price range would help a lot with these requests, otherwise "cheap" is up for interpretation.

M1 Macbook/Macbook Pro are dropping to incredible prices.
Battery life and performance still way better than the current crop of Windows laptops.

If you really want a brand new one, cross the border, make an Apple US account because you can warranty devices up to 5 years old on Applecare One.

just b/c it's a known entity, amazon fire tabs when on sale is a good deal. not sure how easy it is to sideload anymore (i think it is). but if it's just browsing it should do the job.

if anyone is looking for at iPads, if you want to use it as a 2nd monitor, you need to do gen 10 and up due to usb c. I have a 9th gen and the lightning cable cannot transfer data quick enough from what i can gather, it can only mirror the tablet.

Doesn't sidecar work wirelessly? I have the M1 iPad Pro

I had no idea it worked/worked faster over a cable until I had to charge it one day.
