The best Black Friday preview deals
Throughout November and leading up to Black Friday, we're regularly updating our guides. However, some offers may become victims of their success and expire quickly. Where possible, we replace them with equivalent offers; otherwise, they are removed from our recommendations.
The Asus ROG Ally Z1 portable console drops below €350
Beneath its portable console appearance hides a real small gaming PC. Indeed, the Asus ROG Ally Z1 runs under Windows and therefore allows you to access a large catalog of games available on computer.
With its 7-inch screen, it still runs many recent games with a minimum of 30 FPS, although it is not the latest model. For online gaming, it has Wifi 6e, enough to avoid any lag in the lobbies, provided you have a sufficiently efficient router.
TCL 55C75B QLED Pro TV drops below €500 during Black Friday preview
Priced at €499 instead of €649, the TCL 55C75B with its 55-inch QLED panel is a good choice for those looking for a quality 4K TV without breaking the bank. For Black Friday previews on Fnac, the model benefits from a reduction of €100, to which can be added a reimbursement of €50 from TCL.
This TV works under Google TV, so on the interface side, it is intuitive and complete: Netflix, YouTube, Apple TV+, and many other applications are directly accessible. With Google Assistant integrated, you can also control the TV by voice. On the sound side, we have a 2.1 system from Onkyo, with Dolby Atmos and DTS for a surround effect. For video games, the panel displays a frequency of 144 Hz coupled with an HDMI 2.1 port to connect the latest next-gen consoles.

The 1,056-piece LEGO Star Wars set “The New Republic E-wing against the Shin Hati Fighter” is normally priced at €104 on the Lego website. At the moment it goes to €62.99 on Fnac, so maybe it's a good time to start crossing a few lines off the Christmas list.
This box set, inspired by the series “ Star Wars : Ahsoka » released on Disney + in 2023, takes up the two emblematic ships of the series, namely:
- the New Republic E-wing;
- the hunter of Shin Hati.
This set also includes four minifigures: Captain Porter, a New Republic astromech droid, Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, each equipped with series-accurate weapons and accessories.

The Dyson V12 Origin stick vacuum cleaner drops below €400
The Dyson V12 Origin cordless vacuum cleaner is sold for €499 on the Dyson website. It is currently offered on La Fnac at the price of €399.
Even if it is not in our guide to the best stick vacuum cleaners, the V12 is a high-performance model, perfectly manageable and powerful. Its weight of 2.4 kg makes it easy to handle, even after a long cleaning session, thanks to its good ergonomics. Note that it can be transformed into a handheld vacuum cleaner, in order to easily vacuum at heights, or in hard-to-reach places.

The Ninebot Segway E2 Plus II E electric scooter
The Ninebot E2 Plus II E electric scooter is usually sold for €299.99. For the start of Black Friday, it is priced at €249.99 on the Darty website.

In terms of safety, you can also count on turn signals.
The KickScooter E2 Plus E has an efficient folding system, which allows it to be taken on transport, especially since its weight of 14.5 kg makes it easily transportable. You will find a screen which displays the speed, the battery status and the selected driving mode. The range varies between 10 km and 25 km, depending of course on road conditions.

The Samsung B-Series soundbar to boost your TV's audio
The Samsung B-Series HW-B660D soundbar is normally sold for €399.99. It is offered on Darty at the price of €199.99 for the start of Black Friday.
The HW-B660D is a soundbar with a minimalist and modern design that is easy to place in front of a TV. With its four speakers, including a central one and a subwoofer, the audio provides immersive surround sound. The 3.1 sound reproduction is unfortunately diminished by the lack of verticality of the audio.

Gaming mode automatically adapts the audio when you connect a game console, giving you more immersive sound. In terms of connectivity, you will find an optical digital socket and an HDMI eARC port. You can also count on Bluetooth to pair your television, but also your smartphones or tablets.
