'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

Cyber Monday is here, which means you're probably already getting inundated with information about the best deals.
Back in the old days, it was easier to keep track of the sales. You'd see Black Friday and Cyber Monday ads from major retailers detailing their plan and you'd circle the biggest "doorbuster" deals of the season.
Now, in 2020, things are a bit different. Retail ads start leaking out in October for "early Black Friday sales," and almost all the biggest discounts can be snagged online. Heck, even retailer ad scans are online. That means, while you run the risk of being digitally overloaded, it's now easier than ever for you to successfully master the holiday shopping season.
With that said, we're rounding up the best deals for professionals and remote workers and listing all the retailer ads and sale hubs -- all with the goal of making sure you get nearly everything on your Christmas list at a discount. Good luck!
The Apple Watch SE is all-new for 2020. It carries a lot of the same features as the Series 6, though it doesn't offer an always-on display, ECG functionality, or oxygen saturation measurements. The 40mm and 44mm models now cost $279 and $309, respectively, as part of an early Black Friday deal at Walmart.
Amazon is offering Apple's wireless earbuds at the lowest price ever. Better grab this early deal now, because it wouldn't surprise us if it went out of stock before Black Friday actually arrives.
The Lenovo Yoga C940, a premium two-in-one with an all-metal design and a touchscreen that can rotate 360 degrees, is on sale at Amazon as part of an early deal. It includes an active pen, a 14-inch display with a 4K resolution, 10th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD with 32GB of superfast Optane memory.
Bose's over-the-ear noise-canceling cans are often on sale, but this is one of the lowest prices we've seen so far. They're wireless and offer three levels of noise cancellation, plus support for Alexa.
It's not even Black Friday yet, and Amazon is already shaving 20% off the retail price of its Echo Show 8, the larger version of the Echo Show 5. Considering Amazon just held Prime Day last month, we're not sure many Amazon devices will be on sale this holiday season, so best hop on this deal while it's available.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is the top of the line model of the video doorbell. It comes with built-in motion detection and lets you talk to whoever is at your front door in crystal clear 1080p HD.
Amazon's top tablet option is the Fire HD 10. It has a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display along with 32GB of storage. If you're looking for an inexpensive productivity and entertainment device, look no further. It even comes with Alexa.
This bundle includes the Echo Show 5 smart display and the Blink Mini indoor security camera. These two usually cost $125, so you're saving $75 and you can use them together to secure your home or office.
This smart display from Google is designed to work as a command hub for all of your smart home devices, but works just as well serving up recipes in the kitchen or playing music anywhere in your home.
This Chromebook from Acer is a great budget laptop. It has a 14-inch display and runs on a Intel Celeron N4000 Dual-Core Processor. It also has 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
When is Cyber Monday 2020?
Black Friday 2020 landed on Friday, Nov. 27, while Cyber Monday is Nov. 30. Usually, Black Friday sales last the entire weekend and throughout "Cyber Monday Week." In fact, many of them start weeks before Black Friday and go straight into December.
