📣 The Best Tech Deals Aren't On Amazon
Refurbished tech is where the real savings can be found!
THIS WEEK’S UPDATE
Black Friday At Back Market
The eagle-eyed amongst you might have already noticed that this email is a bit different from usual. Yes, it’s Black Friday, and I’ve partnered with Back Market to bring you some of the best Black Friday deals around. That’s because Back Market’s prices are already low as it is, so the discounts on top of that really start to add up.
Back Market is the leading global marketplace for refurbished tech and has saved 1.6 million tons of carbon emissions in the fight against fast tech. By going to Back Market instead of Amazon, you can get the Black Friday deals you want without harming the planet.
Below you’ll find a range of deals picked by me that I think are too good to pass up! All offers are correct at the time of writing, and you’ve got until the 1st December to take advantage. Right, let’s get into it!
DEAL #1
Sage Coffee Machines
I am reliant on coffee. And that means I consume a lot of it, so I don’t want to be drinking any old rubbish. That’s why I have a coffee machine in my studio and it is by far one of the best things that I own. If this sounds like you, then I would seriously recommend getting one for yourself. There’s a whole range of different Sage machines on Back Market for Black Friday, so now is as good a time as any to grab one!
DEAL #2
MacBook Air
I have been a full MacBook Air convert this year. I used to always carry around a MacBook Pro with me, but no longer; the M4 MacBook Air can do it all. Just browsing Back Market’s website now, and you can grab an M4 MacBook Air for £150 less than what it would cost new. There’s also an M3 MacBook Air going for under £700, which is crazy! There are loads of MacBook deals over there, so go take a look.
DEAL #3
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
I am currently looking at the Back Market website and there’s a Pixel 10 Pro XL going for £850. It was £1,199 on release. That is frankly outrageously cheap for a phone that is only 4 months old and exceptionally good. If you can get any Pixel 10 model for a price you’re happy with, just buy it. They’re all brilliant.
DEAL #4
iPhone 16 Pro Max
This is another ‘I can’t believe what I’m looking at’ moment. There are iPhone 16 Pro Max models of various flavours going for as little as £699 on Back Market at the moment. This phone cost £1,199 a year ago! The camera system alone on this phone is worth it at that price. If you need a new phone, then I wouldn’t look much further.
DEAL #5
Apple Watch Ultra 2
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the best Apple Watch ever made. But I wouldn’t recommend that anyone buy it because the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is essentially the same device. In Titanium Black, the AWU2 is also one of the meanest-looking devices I’ve come across and it’s going dirt cheap for Black Friday on Back Market. Get on it before it goes!
There we have it, those are the top five deals that I think you should take advantage of this Black Friday. But there are absolutely loads more on Back Market’s website, from AirPods and Android phones to the Nintendo Switch and Sony headphones.
I hope you have a great weekend and manage to grab some deals! I’ll see you next week as normal service resumes.
