The Arc Ultra is Sonos' best soundbar speaker, replacing last year's Arc model. It is a massive 46" soundbar that houses 14 total speakers, including five tweeters (plus two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels), six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer. The Arc Ultra uses AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

The Arc is still an outstanding soundbar even after the release of the Arc Ultra, and at $399 it's certainly a much better value. The refurbished model gets the same 1 year warranty as buying new. The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including two dedicated height channels. It's Dolby Atmos ready, and the Class-D amps provide enough power that you can probably get away without a subwoofer (although you'd still benefit from one).

The Sonos Era 100 is a compact powered speaker that pumps out great sound for its small footprint. Unlike the Sonos Move, this is not a portable speaker with a built-in battery, so you'll need to leave it plugged in. Sound quality is equivalent to a Sonos Move, which isn't surprising considering they have similar internal components: two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amps. It has a built-in microphone for smart assistant functionality.

The Era 300 is a much bigger, better sounding version of the Era 100. It's nearly double the size and weight. The Era 300 is also shaped differently, but there's a reason for that. The hourglass figure is designed to optimally arrange the six speakers so that they fire sound in all directions, enhancing Dolby Atmos and spatial audio effects. The Era 300 consist of four tweeters and two woofers paired with Class-D digital amplifiers and custom waveguides to help project sound to all corners of your room. It also has a built-in microphone for smart assistant compatibility.

If you want to add ground-shaking bass to your Sonos setup, there's still nothing better than a separate standalone subwoofer. The Sub 4 boasts plenty of power in the form of dual inward-facing 5"x8" woofers and a ported design that allows for a louder and deeper low-end. It simply can't be emulated by a standard bookshelf speaker or soundbar alone.

If you are space constrained, consider the Sub Mini instead. Despite its compact size, the Sub Mini can still powerful room-filling bass by way of two inward-facing 6" drivers contained in a sealed (non-ported) enclosure. It features wireless connectivity so you can avoid the hassle of routing a cable back to the rest of your home theater components.

The Sonos Beam is a smaller, less expensive alternatives to the Arc. The Beam (Gen 2) is a 26-inch long, 5.0-channel soundbar with one tweeter and four mid-woofers for natural, balanced sound and four passive radiators to help with the low end. Although the Beam doesn't have physical height channels, it has two virtual height channels for Dolby Atmos support. There's also a built-in microphone for smart functionality.

The Move 2 is Sonos' biggest and best portable speaker. It's size allows it to house two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers. This is a standalone speaker with a self-contained battery and can be carried around from room to room. The battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous playtime and a simple but effective docking station essentially turns it into a powered speaker. It is IP56 rated for weather resistance and has a built-in microphone so that it can accept voice commands and is compatible with smart assistants.

The Roam 2 is Sonos' most compact and travel-friendly portable speaker. It weighs in at under one pound and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use thanks to an IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof housing. It houses one tweeter, one mid-woofer, and two class-H digital amplifers, so it's still able to pump out inpressively clean sound even at high volumes. The internal battery supplies the Roam 2 with nearly 10 hours of playtime, and it can be recharged over USB Type-C. It supports both Bluetooth and wireless connectivity and has a built-in microphone for voice control.

The Sonos Ace is a premium wireless headphone featuring Dolby Atmos spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, lossless audio streaming over Bluetooth, effective active noise cancellation thanks to eight optimally positioned microphones (plus Aware mode), custom designed 40mm dynamic drivers for accurate, distortion-free audio, a mix of plush memory foam and vegan leather for all-day comfort, and a stainless steel headband skeleton for durability. The battery lasts for up to 30 hours with ANC enabled and can be recharged over USB Type-C.

Why Sonos?

If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.

If you still haven't yet picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 because it's too expensive, there is an opportunity to get one at a discounted price. AliExpress is offering a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle for just $435.87 (normally $500) after you apply a $100 off coupon code "AEUS100" during checkout. It ships free locally from the United States (which means no tariffs and no obnoxiously long wait times). Note that the console is a Hong Kong import. All international Switch consoles are region unlocked, meaning they can be used in the US without any problems.

Missed out on preorders? Well multiple retailers will be selling the Prismatic Evolution Figurine Collection out of the gate. Here are the details on when I think they'll be on sale and where:

• Walmart: Today at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET
• Target: Online should drop around 10 p.m. PT on Nov. 20
• Best Buy: Preorders never went live, so an online drop may rock up on Nov. 21. The same goes for in-store, but it might be a limited drop.
• Amazon: Not confirmed, but could drop on release day (Nov. 21)

Black Friday Arzopa Portable Monitor Deals at AliExpress

A portable USB monitor has many practical uses, such as a secondary display for your laptop or a travel-friendly screen for your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck handheld gaming PC. Ahead of Black Friday, Arzopa is hosting some big markdowns on its popular lineup of portable USB monitors via its official AliExpress storefront. Combined with some general AliExpress coupon codes, these deals are the lowest prices I've seen all year long. All of the portable monitors listed ship free from the United States, which means you don't have to worry about tariffs or long shipping times.

The price on this has already dropped by nearly $100 to $455.88 compared to yesterday, so now is a better time than ever to get your preorder locked in. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the best things Nickelodeon put out when I was a kid, and its fandom still beats strong. This Universes Beyond MTG set hasn't only got me back into Avatar, but it's got me on MTG Arena to learn the game, not just collect it when I can. Collector Boosters aren't for playing, it's for those who want some solid binder material with far better pull rates than standard play boosters. There's a premium for that of course, but Amazon won't charge until it ships, which means you'll probably have a day or two to get the money you need together.

For Final Fantasy fans who haven't played the 2D old school games, or for those who are fans of the sprite-based RPG vibe, this is the deal for you. It features a re-arranged soundtrack by original series composer Nobuo Uematsu, improved gamplay, a user interface overhaul, auto battle options and more quality of life improvements. 47% off makes this collection a no-brainer.

I love my cordless electric air duster, it comes in so handy for my desk and gaming rig, with the added attachments turning it inot a mini vacuum cleaner or duster. Ditch the cans of compressed air when cleaning out your keyboard and get one of these bad boys, you won't regret it for under $20.

Unless you've been stuck with a dead battery waiting for your breakdown cover to pick you up, you have no idea how handy these things are. They fit right in the trunk of the car, ready to save the day when you've left your headlamps on at night or need a bit of juice to get you to your local mechanic. With $50 off, this is something everyone should have in their diesel and gas cars.

$50 off a Quest 3S isn't a bad deal to say the least, and you also get the "Cardboard Hero: Gorilla Tag" game bundled alongside a three month trial to Meta Quest Horizon+, which means free access to over 40 games. You can also upgrade to the 256GB version and get Batman: Arkham Shadow bundled in instead for $329 instead of $399.99. Now that's an early Black Friday deal.

This set contains three hardcover graphics novels encompassing the TMNT: The Last Ronin continuity. That includes "Lost Years", "The Last Ronin", and "The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution". I won't spoil them for you, but this is one of the best series i've ever read, and I'm not a massive TMNT fan. And you won't be charged for your preorder until this bad boy ships. Not a bad deal at all with that cheeky 25% off.

The 2025 Razer Blade 14 is a svelte little thing, measuring only 0.6" thin and weighing in at 3.6 pounds. It features a gorgeous 14" 2880x1800 OLED display with a "razor" sharp 264ppi pixel density and 120Hz refresh rate. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is a power efficient yet capable gaming and workstation mobile chip with an onboard XDNA 2 NPU for AI applications. It's paired with 32GB of blistering fast DDR5-8000MHz LPDDR5X RAM and a swappable 1TB SSD.

The GeForce RTX 5070 is 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070

The Razer Blade 14 cannot be equipped with a more powerful GPU than the 5070, so you're getting the maximum power that this small form factor allows. The GeForce RTX 5070 mobile graphics has a maximum TGP rating of 115W, which means it isn't a throttled version like you'll find in most other "ultra-portable" gaming laptops. It performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces and can run most games in the native QHD+ resolution. Many newer and more demanding games support DLSS 4.0, which significantly boosts peformance for any laptop with an RTX 50 series GPU.

The Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best ways to read comics and save space on your bookshelf. The 7-inch high-contrast display doesn't strain your eyes too badly, so reading for extended sessions is fairly comfortable. You can highlight sections of your book or graphic novel using various colors, and its optimized screen for reading in color helps panels pop. A single charge can last up to eight weeks, and its adjustable display settings allows you to read in dark or bright settings with ease.

Digital comics are a great alternative to physical comics, as compendiums and omnibuses are typically some of the largest books around. With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you'll have thousands of comics, manga, and other graphic novels available to you at the press of a finger. Check out our Kindle Unlimited subscription guide to figure out which tier makes the most sense for you. There are also plenty of other ways to read free comics online if you're not interested in a subscription service.

The Best Kindles at Amazon

We haven't quite seen Kindles drop this far in price since July's Prime Day, but it looks like Amazon is offering even better deals for Black Friday 2025. Compared to the Kindle Colorsoft, regular Kindle tablets are optimized for black and white reading, so it's generally recommended to leave comics and magazines to the Colorsoft. You can also pick from thousands of books if you decide to sign up for Kindle Unlimited subscription, so no matter which Kindle option you go for, the library of available books is endless. You check out our best Kindle deals at Amazon explainer to figure out which tablet suits you.

Of all the Blackwell cards released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best value for high-resolution gaming. This GPU is fully capable of running games in 4K at high framerates. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and marginalizes the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. Like all Blackwell cards, the RTX 5070 Ti supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. If you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti may be a better value since it has the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 5080. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review.

PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU for $489

Recommended for 1440p gaming

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super. We wish there was a bigger generation improvement in raw performance, but the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming and the difference in framerates widens considerably in games that support DLSS 4. In any case, the RTX 4070 Super GPU has since been discontinued and is only readily available in the used market. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review.

MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU for $369

Recommended for 1080p gaming

The RTX 5060 Ti is an excellent GPU for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20% and the RTX 3060 Ti by 40%. The RTX 5060 Ti also benefits from Nvidia's new DLSS 4 technology as well as newer GDDR7 video memory. There are two RTX 5060 Ti variants floating around with the only difference being the amount of VRAM, either 8GB or 16GB. This deal is for the 16GB model. According to our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti review, the amount of VRAM makes a huge difference. We recommend the 16GB model because it can run just about any game out there comfortably at 1080p and can even handle 1440p with adjusted settings. The 8GB model, however, struggles even at 1080p and don't even think about running games at a higher resolution. For under $400, there's no better GPU right now.

Despite being one of the first movies Studio Ghibli produced, Grave of the Fireflies is the most recent movie from the studio to get a steelbook edition. The steelbook was originally released on July 8, 2025 at a price of $26.98. Since then, a number of deals have lowered Amazon’s ‘typical price’ to $17.89. A Black Friday discount has dropped that typical price even further, to a new all-time low at just $14.49.

IGN’s own Peer Schneider reviewed Grave of the Fireflies when it originally came to DVD in North America back in 2002. He describes how “Takahata tells this story masterfully and with plenty of pathos, without drowning the plot in too many tear jerking moments. But make no mistake about it; this is a sad, sad movie.” To hammer down that last point, the movie also takes top spot on IGN’s list of the best sad anime. Take that as you will.

The Grave of the Fireflies steelbook has a distinct look from the rest of the Studio Ghibli collection, featuring a full spread of a scene on its cover instead of flat background with a minimalist icon. It also comes with a spread of bonus features, including feature-length storyboards and an interview with the director, Isao Takahata. It’s an essential addition to any Studio Ghibli collection and could make a great holiday gift for the weeb in your life.

Should You Wait Until the Real Black Friday?

I don’t see this steelbook going any lower closer to Black Friday. If anything, it could go back up in price (yes, Black Friday is a ridiculous concept). On the other hand, I would definitely expect better discounts on the rest of the Studio Ghibli steelbook collection closer to the big day itself. You can check out our full breakdown of Black Friday 2025 for more details about whats sales are still coming down the pipeline.

The Alienware AW3423DWF is a 34" monitor featuring a 3440x1440 WQHD resolution with 1800R curve, 0.03ms response time, and 165Hz refresh rate. This monitor is equipped with a Samsung quantum dot OLED panel. This is the best type of panel for gaming thanks to its near instantaneous response time, true black levels, and near-infinite contrast ratio. The AW3423DWF features a 99.3% DCI-P3 color range and is factory calibrated with a Delta E less than 2. It is HDR True Black 400 certified and boasts up to 1,000nits of peak brightness.

In our Alienware AW3423DWF review, Chris Coke compared it to its more expensive predecessor, the AW3423DW. He wrote that "Though $1,099 (its MSRP) is far from cheap, the Alienware AW3423DWF feels like a great value compared to the original. It offers the same stunning picture, and dropping G-Sync Ultimate really makes no noticeable difference in actual gameplay. What’s left is a monitor that is extremely similar for $200 less than it was earlier this year. That’s a win and an easy recommendation to make if you’re in the market for a high-end display with a spectacular picture."

The newer 32" Alienware AW3225QF 4K OLED monitor is also on sale

If you've got a powerful enough gaming PC to run games in 4K at high framerates, then you might want to future-proof your setup with one of the best OLED gaming monitors available. The Alienware AW3225QF was first announced during CES 2024 and is Dell's one of few OLED monitors that combine a 4K resolution with an OLED panel. It also has a higher 240Hz refresh rate and official G-Sync certification.

Something to keep in mind is that 4K monitors require a pretty powerful GPU. 4K resolution has 2.25 times more pixels than QHD; if you want to play games in 4K, especially at frame rates of up to 240fps, you'll want a gaming PC equipped with an GeForce RTX 5070 at the minimum. If your PC is equipped with an even more powerful card like the RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, or RX 9070 XT, then this monitor would be the perfect complement.

Eric Song is the IGN commerce manager in charge of finding the best gaming and tech deals every day. When Eric isn't hunting for deals for other people at work, he's hunting for deals for himself during his free time.

Beats is owned by Apple, and the Studio Pro is marketed towards people like myself who want a quality over-ear wireless noise canceling headphone but also don't want to spend $400 plus on the AirPods Max. The Studio Pro offers better audio quality than any other Beats headphone, and excellent active noise cancelation. It carries over a lot of Apple's trademark features like spatial audio with head tracking, one touch pairing, and "Find My" functionality. It also has a Transparency mode so you can listen to the environment around you without removing your headphones.

The Beats Studio Pro has a USB Type-C port for charging. If you want to use the Beats Studio Pro in wired mode, then can connect via 3.5mm audio jack or USB Type-C, which is a rare option nowadays. Most of the time you'll probably listen to your music wirelessly over Bluetooth, and the Studio Pro excels here with up to 40 hours of listening time on a charge. The Studio Pro also folds in for compact transport.

This discount is part of Amazon's offical Black Friday sale, so it will likely last as long as the sale is live or until it goes out of stock. When the box set was first released it was priced at $249.99, so to see it under $100 is pretty significant. This is the lowest price we've ever seen on this set and I'd expect it to jump back up as soon as Black Friday comes to a close.

The box set includes all 10 seasons, which comes as a total of 25 discs. In addition to all 236 original episodes, there's also hours of bonus content and a new bonus feature that didn't come with the previously released Blu-ray box set.

Why buy physical media?

Physical media has been making a comeback, and it largely has to do with ownership. In the case of Friends, Warner Bros. currently holds the rights to the show which means you can only stream it on HBO Max. But you may not be able to stream it there forever, and unless you have the highest tier subscription, you won't be able to watch it in 4K. Buying a box set like this is a great way to ensure you'll always be able to watch Ross and Rachel's tumultuous love arc in high definition, or turn on the Thanksgiving episode where Joey gets a turkey stuck on his head whenever you feel like it. And most importantly, if HBO Max decides to pull the series from its streaming platform (like it's been doing for Cartoon Network shows), you won't be left Friends-less.

The Secretlab Magnus Evo is a cheaper variant of the Magnus Pro, ditching the unique cable management run in favor of a simpler design that sees metal used along the back and on the front corners of the desk, allowing magnetic accessories like headphone hangers or cable tidies to be quickly and firmly attached. The desk otherwise incorporates the rest of the features that made the Magnus Pro excellent, including electric sit/stand functionality with controls sleekly integrated into the desk surface, an integrated power point, an included monitor mount, and a capacious cable storage cavity underneath the desktop.

The Magnus Evo is still compatible with a good range of accessories, including an assembly that lets you attach your entire PC to one of the legs, obviating the need to use extra-long cables for a desktop PC that sits on the floor but is used with a sit/stand desk at maximum extension. This attachment feels a little shaky with wide and heavy PCs, but it's still a neat trick.

Given that the Magnus Evo delivers the best features of the Magnus Pro while costing significantly less, it's our new No. 1 pick overall – though the Magnus Pro is still worth considering and can be found below.

When you’re tight on space and constrained on budget, a smaller and more affordable option like the FlexiSpot Comhar Electric is great to have. Its 48x24-inch size can easily house a full gaming rig and even a second (smaller-ish) monitor. The desk is durable and stable with a steel frame and solid bamboo desktop that supports up to 110lbs. It's not the most powerful sit-to-stand desk, but it can lift even the heaviest gaming rig without taxing its electric motor.

The Comhar doesn't look much like a gaming desk, but it's surprisingly feature-rich for its affordable price (I've seen it as low as $230 and it is often on sale). In addition to looking classy with its contrasting desktop and steel frame, it features a built-in storage drawer (a rarity in standing desks), a USB hub for charging your devices, and cable management underneath to tidy up your wires.

I've used numerous FlexiSpot standing desks over the years and they always manage to impress for their cost, even given that their instructions are sometimes less well written than their competitors. If you're looking for something that looks good and performs even better, the Comhar is definitely worth considering.

The Secretlab Magnus Pro is the "full-fat" version of the Magnus series, with an entirely metal surface that allows magnetic accessories to be used throughout, plus a cable channel towards the back that is excellent for routing cables without looking cluttered. It also offers electric sit/stand functionality, an increasingly common feature amongst premium gaming desks that might help your long-term health by reducing the amount of time you spend sitting down.

Like other Magnus desks, the Pro comes with an accessory ecosytem that allows you to add on RGB lighting, accessory mounts and even a full PC rest. There are also some dedicated cable management widgets which help tame any remaining wires. The Pro does come at a premium versus the Evo, but for those with a larger budget, it's well worth mulling the upgrade.

The Corsair Platform:6 is a uniquely specialist desk ideal for content creators and streamers, thanks to its surfeit of rail mount points for lights, cameras, monitors, Stream Decks, and other accessories. There are three variants available: the base model is a fixed-height desk, the Elevate adds electric sit/stand motors for height adjustability, and the Creator Edition tacks on a peg board that sits at the rear of the desk. All three models are premium propositions, with the base model just under $1,000, the Elevate model at $1,400, and the Creator Edition costing $1,900.

You do at least get plenty for the money, including a robust underslung cable storage solution that's among the biggest I've seen, a small cable cubby built into the surface of the desk, powerful sit/stand motors that can lift up to 330lbs, and a 72x30-inch span that can be further augmented with one or two 12-inch side extensions. (However, these extension pieces aren't compatible with the peg board on the Creator Edition and can be added separately to other models.)

The most critical element though is the rail system, with one bar across the top of the desk and one on each side, where you can mount various accessories using T-nuts. You get various mount accessories in the box, plus a dual monitor mount. These all work well, though I ended up removing the top rail so that I could use more traditional friction mounts and separate monitor arms instead.

If you make full use of the rail system and have plenty of accessories to mount, the Platform:6 is a dream option. However, something like the Secretlab Magnus Evo or Magnus Pro offer a bit more flexibility when it comes to choosing accessories and mounting methods.

Built like a tank with a steel frame and a massive desktop area, the L-shaped ToughDesk 500L truly is a battle station. Its L shape gives an extra side desk to play around with, and the large surface area is no match for the desk's three motors that take the desk from sitting to standing with a button press. (The controller can store up to four height settings.)

An L-shaped gaming desk isn't very common, but it's a fantastic choice if you're gaming in the corner of a room. When I tried this desk, I realized right away how beneficial it could be. The extra side is perfect for a laptop or some extra shelving to store your peripherals. Or, if you'd rather get your gaming PC off the floor, you can position it out of the way on that side, allowing you to have a wide open desk space in front of you without dust bunnies cluttering up your PC fan.

Beyond its impressive surface area, the ToughDesk 500L is built with gamers in mind, including useful features like cable management to fun ones like built-in RGB lighting, which can sync with Razer Chroma and TT RGB Plus. One especially handy addition is its big mouse pad, covering the surface area of both the main and side desks. Just be prepared to shell out about $1,500.

The Eureka Aero Pro is an absolute beast of a gaming desk with enough surface area for multiple gaming monitors, a beefy PC, and a bunch of accessories. Its unique winged shape makes it easier to grab things. Three shelves at the back of the main desk are adjustable and ready to house a few monitors or a couple of computer speakers for a more immersive gaming experience. Under the main desk is a dedicated keyboard tray, allowing a 360-degree horizontal rotation and 15 degrees of tilt for better ergonomics when tapping away at keys.

While it was a bit of a pain to put together and the seams where the wings connect aren’t the most attractive, the desk is sturdy and comes in several sleek finishes perfect for a gaming setup or workstation. To keep a tidy gaming space, the desk comes with handy channels to help manage your cables, headphone and cup holders, and integrated slots to prop up a tablet or smartphone.
