Honestly there are听so many really great deals in the Best Buy Black Friday ad that we had a hard time narrowing it down just to a top few.

A few notes before we jump in. When putting together our returning deals lists, we generally steered clear of most TVs and laptops. The ever-shifting array of features, components, and technological improvements from one year to the next render most听comparisons almost meaningless. If听an item in one of these categories is a good buy, we听added to our list of top Black Friday deals.

Likewise, this is one ad where we're not doing a side-by-side cover comparison. Best Buy has released听their ad online for the last few years, so听the format isn't exactly a traditional circular.

That said,听Best Buy really has turned up with听one of our favorite Black Friday ads of 2015.

Our Favorite Best Buy Black Friday Deals:

听- $99.99 (was $199.99)
This is easily the lowest price we've ever seen on a new pair of these madly popular Beats by Dr. Dre earbuds. In fact, the only lower price we've seen was on a refurb. And most of the time even the refurbs are priced higher. This one gets top marks. They also fit very nicely in a stocking.

听- $799.99 (was $1,499.99)
The price $799.99 price tag here is the lowest price we've seen听for a 60" 4K TV. Really, you can't go wrong with any of the 4K televisions listed in the Best Buy ad, all of which are listed at all-time price lows. The first draft of our list had no fewer than four before we took a deep breath and cut the field down to one to represent the whole. The $700 discount on this model gets it well under $1,000 and听is very generously sized for the price.

听- $149.99 (was $429.99)听
If you're not ready to shell out for 4K, this 49" Toshiba gives us an unheard of price for a TV of this size and quality.

听- $79.99 (was $149.99)
We have never seen this particular TV below $130 until now, and it's听the听cheapest TV we've seen anywhere so far this Black Friday. Also, note that it's an LG, not some no-name brand too embarrassing or insignificant to even mention like we've seen so many retailers do with cheap TV doorbusters over the years. Take all that together and听not mentioning it on a list of best deals听would just be听wrong.

听- up to $125 off
While the 16GB and 64GB match last year's Black Friday price from Best Buy, the 128GB model gets a听$125 discount, which beats last year's price听by $25. Even better is听it looks like it's a proper discount, not just another gift card bundle - something that's fairly rare with Apple products on Black Friday.

听- from $399.99
Deals on the iPad mini 4 are so rare that we've literally never posted one before. So we're very, very pleased to see Best Buy taking $100 off the 64GB and 128GB models for Black Friday.

听- $899.99 (was $1,099.99)
We saw this same Macbook at this price in July during Best Buy's Cyber Monday in July event, so it looks听like Best Buy wasn't fibbing about the pricing being close to what you find on Black Friday. In this case it definitely is. The drop may not represent a new low price, but it matches the lowest we've seen.

听- $19.99 (was $79.99)
It's pretty common to hear people joke that printers have gotten so cheap that replacing the printer costs less than replacing the ink. In this case it's literally true.听You really听can't听even replace the ink for so little, and it's a wireless all-in-one.

听- $49.99 (was $99.99)
The fitness tracker trend shows no signs of slowing.听The low price of this Jawbone UP2听beats our last mention by $18, making it an especially good entry-level option.

听- $139.99 (was $249.99)
We won't labor under the illusion that this听is going to be an incredible laptop. In fact it's going to be light on frills. But the听$139.99 price tag here is too low to ignore.

听- $99.00 (save $70)
Chromebooks are cheap for a reason. Relying heavily on cloud storage to make up for its teeny tiny 16GB hard drive, it's really just an internet machine.听That said,听seeing any laptop听under $100, even one as stripped down and basic as a Chromebook, is a major milestone.

听- $9.99 (was $39.99)
When a portable bluetooth speaker听is this cheap,听buying one for every room in the house suddenly seems like a good idea.

听- $249.99
Discounts on the highly praised Nest Thermostat are rare. The effective price of $199.99 once you consider the value of the gift card matches the best price we saw last Black Friday. This is听generally one of the only discounts we see all year, so make your move.

听- $169.99 (was $299.99)
It's hard to argue with 56% off a great camera. And it's purple! (Yes, you can get it in black, too. Or red.) Last year, the L830 sold for the same price, in the same shade of purple, but it's a reliably good price on a reliably good camera.

听- $79.99
The addition of the $15 gift card makes听the effective cost of this Keurig bundle $64.99 and soundly beats the听best price on this model we found anywhere听last Black Friday.
