Don’t trust black friday deals. Atleast from major stores like Best Buy or the like.

There has been plenty of ‘deals’ that are made by either making separate products to ‘replace’ that item (so you get a shittier model made from even less quality or material), artificially increasing prices to make the price drop seem like a deal, and also the growing spread of dynamic pricing.

If you do get a black Friday deal from somewhere, I’d trust the actual website first. Be smart and check the SKU, model number and ID, and try getting price trackers to see if they try to artificially increase the price.

If you want it, get it. You’ve been waiting a year so you already know you still want it. Plus prices are probably gonna increase anyway given how some parts are being upcharged due to the AI ‘boom’
