Black Friday is a great time to snap up some tech bargains, and Tech Advisor is here to help you find the biggest Black Friday tech deals.
Aside from the laptop deals, TV deals and other big-ticket items, there are plenty of tech accessories on offer: wireless chargers, power banks, USB-C hubs and docks, mice, laptops stands and standing desks.
Indeed, there are so many that it’s difficult to choose which are the best, so we have picked only those products that we have tested and would recommend at any time of the year.

One of the biggest discounts is on the Anker PowerExpand Elite 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 Dock, which is reduced from £279.99 to just £199.99 – nearly 30% off.
