The holiday season is coming and many of us are waiting for the most promising sales of the year, such as Singles Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday or even Christmas sale itself. However, not all of us are so fond of the idea of pushing through the crowd and standing in mile-long lines. In the past few years, more and more stores and services started offering their special deals online. Here is the list of the best deals related to technology, networking, and security, that you can find online this year.

Software

Surfshark is one of the newer, but high-quality VPN providers that offer stability and speed sufficient enough for HD streaming and allows bypassing website or network restrictions. They seem to be feeling really festive this season and amazed us all with 83% discount on their two years plan. You can use ‘BLACKSHARK’ coupon code which will reduce the price from $286.80 to $47.76 ($1.99 per month), which makes this one of the best Black Friday VPN deals this year.

One of the best-known providers comes to us with a 75% discount on NordVPN 3-years plan with a coupon ‘CYBEROFFER’. It is almost more of a steal than a Cyber Monday VPN deal when you pay $107.55 for something that would cost $430.20 on a regular day.

Trust.Zone VPN is offering a 1-year cyber deal. This year sale reduced the monthly pricing by 53% from $6.99 to $3.33 which comes down to $39.95 yearly price. They might, also, offer a discounted 2 year VPN plan too just before Black Friday weekend.

As of 2017, Avast is the most popular antivirus on the market, and it had the largest share of the market for antivirus applications. They usually have Cyber Monday 50% discounts. Though this year, few of their partners are talking about possible limited time 70% deal as of Black Friday special.

Kaspersky Lab develops and sells antivirus, internet security, password management, endpoint security, and other cybersecurity products and services. They are not blowing their website up with any Black Friday announcements yet, but they are known to offer up to 50% Cyber Monday discounts, so you can keep an eye on them.

I am sure many of you are familiar with Grammarly by now. It’s easy to use grammar and plagiarism checking tool. It is extremely useful for copywriters, bloggers or even students. Their Black Friday deal of 2018 offers 55% discount on all plans.

Udemy, one of the leader’s in online learning, has discounted thousands of courses up to 94% off already. You can get even the most popular courses for $9.99 with a coupon code ‘OTR1010’.

Whether you are a designer, artist, photographer, student or teacher, you are likely quite familiar with Adobe CC. If you are using more than one of their app, you are most likely paying around $600 per year. But occasionally, Adobe does drop a CC deal and that is expected for this Black Friday too. We could expect at least 20% off of their packages and possible 40% discount on Photoshop and Premiere Elements, which they had available in August, so it would be reasonable to find them again in November.

Hardware

If you are looking for a new computer, phone, TV, router or any other device for your home or office, you can start making the list. Samsung and Dell started registration for Black Friday sales newsletters. Microsoft and FlashRouters websites already have announcements of upcoming sales on the front page. Of course, Amazon, eBay and AliExpress are going to offer some of the best hardware deals, so don’t forget to check there too.

Here are few of the best hardware deals from Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2017:

ASUS ZenBook 3 12.5-inch laptop for $999.00 (usually $1249.00)

Apple MacBook Pro 15.4-inch with Touch Bar laptop for $1,599 (usually $2,399)

Lenovo Yoga 710 (15.6-inch touchscreen, Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $599.99 (usually $829.99)

HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One PC for $799.99 (usually $999.99)

Netgear Orbi AC3000 mesh wireless system for $280 (usually $400)

As Wirecutters recently pointed out, from the Monday before Black Friday, through Cyber Monday in 2017, they have scanned 78,400 deals and found only 453 worth posting. I hope this list helps you out to sort through the best deals out there in 2018. So grab your wallets and mark the days: November 11th (Singles Day), November 23rd (Black Friday) and November 26th (Cyber Monday).
