Popular high street retailer has begun its Black Friday sale early and there is a mountain of deals to sift through. So don't worry, we've done the hard work for you.

Here are the best Black Friday tech deals so far from John Lewis.

NOW £129.95 - SAVE £70

These are the newest headphones from Beats, so a £70 saving is significant. The on-ear design sits, well, on the ear rather than completely encompassing it, but still offers the booming bass you'd expect from the famous brand, plus USB-C charging for up to a frankly ridiculous 50 hours.

NOW £499 - SAVE £250

This stonking deal will bag you for less than £499. Though the saving from John Lewis is £250, the Google Pixel 8 Pro originally retailed for £999, so this is a stone cold half price offer not to be missed.

You also get AI features such as being able remove objects from photos, and other handy tools that you can just as easily ignore. The build quality is excellent, and the phone will get software updates until 2030.

NOW £119 - SAVE £10

OK, so this is only £10 off, which isn't exactly a world-beating saving, but any money off AirPods is rare - especially the newest model. That's what we have here, with the new AirPods 4 on sale.

The updated design is best if you want AirPods but not silicone tips jammed into your ears. This is the version without noise cancellation tech, so just remember if you listen to tunes in loud places, these won't block out sound. That said, they pair perfectly with iPhone, iPad and Mac, and offer great features such as being able to read your texts to you.

NOW £239 with free Galaxy Fit3 activity tracker

The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a solid choice even when it's full price at £339, so £100 off here is already a superb deal. But not only that, if you buy the phone before 22 December from John Lewis you can .

Paired with the A35 you'll enjoy a simple smartwatch that tracks your steps, calories, runs and heart rate. The phone itself has a bright 6.6-inch OLED display, large 5,000mAh battery, slick Samsung software and triple cameras. You'll also enjoy software updates until 2029.

NOW £599 - SAVE £250

This is a stellar laptop deal for a well-designed, powerful laptop. The Intel Core Ultra 5 chip is more than enough oomph for the average laptop task, from web browsing to emailing and even a bit of light gaming (Football Manager, anyone?).

The 14-inch OLED display is very good (we've tested it) plus it's a touch scren, which comes in handier than you might think. Add to that solid speakers, decent battery life and 512GB storage and this is a steal for £599.

NOW £279 - SAVE £30

£279 for this smartphone is an excellent price. If you haven't heard of Nothing, it's a London-based tech company founded by folks who used to work at OnePlus. Nothing turns out transparent designed phones and earbuds, and the Phone 2a is one of the best budget phones you can currently buy.
