Honestly there are聽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聽comparisons almost meaningless. If聽an item in one of these categories is a good buy, we聽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聽their ad online for the last few years, so聽the format isn't exactly a traditional circular.

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

Our Favorite Best Buy Black Friday Deals:

Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds聽- $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.

60" Samsung 4K Ultra HD Smart TV聽- $799.99 (was $1,499.99)
The price $799.99 price tag here is the lowest price we've seen聽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聽is very generously sized for the price.

49" Toshiba LED 1080p HDTV聽- $149.99 (was $429.99)聽
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.

24" LG LED 720p HDTV聽- $79.99 (was $149.99)
We have never seen this particular TV below $130 until now, and it's聽the聽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聽not mentioning it on a list of best deals聽would just be聽wrong.

iPad Air 2聽- up to $125 off
While the 16GB and 64GB match last year's Black Friday price from Best Buy, the 128GB model gets a聽$125 discount, which beats last year's price聽by $25. Even better is聽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.

iPad mini 4聽- 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.

13.3" Apple Macbook Pro 4GB Memory 500GB HD聽- $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聽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.

HP DeskJet 2545 Wireless All-In-One Printer聽- $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.聽You really聽can't聽even replace the ink for so little, and it's a wireless all-in-one.

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

15.6" Asus Laptop 4GB Memory 500GB HD聽- $139.99 (was $249.99)
We won't labor under the illusion that this聽is going to be an incredible laptop. In fact it's going to be light on frills. But the聽$139.99 price tag here is too low to ignore.

11.6" Acer Chromebook 2GB Memory 16GB聽- $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.聽That said,聽seeing any laptop聽under $100, even one as stripped down and basic as a Chromebook, is a major milestone.

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

Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation + $50 Gift Card聽- $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聽generally one of the only discounts we see all year, so make your move.

Nikon Coolpix L840 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera聽- $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.

Keurig K40 Elite Coffeemaker + $15 Gift Card聽- $79.99
The addition of the $15 gift card makes聽the effective cost of this Keurig bundle $64.99 and soundly beats the聽best price on this model we found anywhere聽last Black Friday.
