We’re still a few days away from the holiday weekend, but in an effort to get a head start, several retailers have launched what they are calling “early” or “pre-” Black Friday sales. We’re going to be covering as many of these deals as possible, with a particular focus on quality products and notable discounts. Here are a few we’ve found from Best Buy thus far.

Up to $225 off iPad mini 4 models – it’s been a long time since Apple update its smaller tablet line, but the iPad mini 4 is still extremely powerful. Features include an 8″ Retina display, A8 processor, 8MP iSight camera, 10 hours of battery life and Touch ID sensor. Discount amount depends on model. Available for as low as $225 (normal price $350).

UE – BOOM 2 Bluetooth Speaker – this speaker really needs no explanation, but I’ll give you a quick rundown. It’s waterproof, dirt-proof and shockproof, connects up to 100′ away, offers incredible 360-degree sound, can connect to multiple devices and other speakers simultaneously, and has a built-in mic and call/Siri button.

This isn’t the best price we’ve seen, but Best Buy is a popular destination for holiday shoppers. Available for $250 (normal price $300).

Sharp 50-inch LED Smart TV with Roku – there are going to be a lot of sub-$200 TV deals this weekend, but we like this one for a number of reasons.
