On Black Friday, tech-lovers fall into one of two categories. First is the dedicated shopper who went to sleep after Thanksgiving pie to wake up at 2 a.m. and join a crowd of people queueing to buy a half-price flatscreen TV or new phone. Then you have the one who slept in until the afternoon, doesn't plan on changing out of pajamas all day, and browses the net for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals from the couch.
So whether you're planning on venturing out on Black Friday or shopping online, you can still get some of this season's best prices - especially since at some stores, Black Friday deals run all week. And to help you out, we've compared deals on some of the hottest gadgets for you.

iPad Air 2
Looking for a new tablet? Try out the iPad Air 2, which was released in October. The normal retail price for the 16GB model is $499. You'll pay full price if you buy it from Apple this weekend, but you'll get a $50 gift card. Here's what the prices look like at the three main retailers:
Xbox One
The Xbox One was just released on November 22, and Microsoft sold 1 million consoles in the first 24 hours. The normal retail price for the newest Xbox is $499, but retailers are discounting the device on Black Friday, sold either as part of the Assassin's Creed: Unity Bundle containing the Xbox One, 'Assassin's Creed: Unity' and 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag' or as part of The Master Chief Collection Bundle, which includes the Xbox One, 'Halo 2: Anniversary,' 'Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary,' 'Halo 3,' 'Halo 4,' 'Halo: Nightfall' and access to 'Halo 5' beta.
Fitbit Flex and Fitbit Charge
Worried about the massive amounts of food you're going to eat this holiday season? Maybe it's time to get a Fitbit, the fitness tracker and app that counts your steps and calories burned. The Fitbit Charge was just released on November 17, and we're seeing some great deals on it and the popular Fitbit Flex this Black Friday. At retail price, the Flex costs $99.95 and the Charge costs $129.95.
Samsung Curved UHD TV
Samsung's recently-released ultra-high definition television has a screen that's slightly curved to improve viewing experience. The retail price for a 55-inch model is $2,197.99, but you can get significant savings this Friday (or before!) if you know where to look.
iPhone 6
The release of the iPhone 6 was probably the most exciting event for Apple fans all year, with sales reportedly topping 10 million in the first weekend and continuing to go strong afterwards. If you still haven't gotten your hands on one, Black Friday's the perfect time for it. On the Apple website, price starts at $199 with a two-year contract and $649 without one.
So there you have it - the best Black Friday deals on all the latest gadgets. Did you find a better deal on any of these? Let us know!
