As the perfect storm of savings approaches, retail giants like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy continue to "leak" their holiday shopping deals ahead of the official start of Black Friday. Here's a compilation of some of the best deals you'll find in stores and online for tablets, laptos, HDTVs and more.
Walmart's doorbuster deals start at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, Thursday Nov. 22, for "family-oriented products." Other sales start at 10 p.m., including an extremely cheap Compaq Presario Windows 8 laptop with AMD processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive for $179.

Other laptop deals include a pair of HP notebooks: a $279 15.6-inch model also sporting an AMD CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive; and a $349.99 15.6-inch version with an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB hard drive. HP is also advertising a 20-inch Pavilion all-in-one desktop with AMD processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB of RAM for $389. On Friday at 5 a.m., you will be able to purchase an Acer Ultrabook laptop with 13.3-inch display, Intel Core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive for $499.
As usual, there's no real discount for Apple's iPad, but Walmart sweetens the deal by offering a $75 gift card if you purchase a $399 iPad 2 in store. If you're looking for a tablet at a rock-bottom price, Walmart is also selling an 8GB Barnes & Noble Nook Color tablet for just $99, and an 7-inch Ematic Android tablet with 4GB of storage will be available on Walmart.com for a mere $49 all Thanksgiving day.
Walmart's promised deals
Walmart is enticing Black Friday customers this year with a unique promise: every customer in the store or online between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving will be able to buy three special electronics items at unheard of prices. Walmart has even guaranteed stores have enough inventory to fit the demand.
If you are in the store or on their website shopping by 10 p.m. you are guaranteed these sale items.
Apple iPad2: 16GB with Wi-Fi: on sale for $399 plus get a $75 Wal-Mart gift card
Emerson® 32" 720p LCD TV: on sale for $148

If by chance the store runs out of the inventory, Walmart will deliver the device to a local store for you if you register for the item online.

Best Buy's 22-page preview - just a sliver of what's to come, the company promises - includes deals on everything from big-screen TVs and laptops to smartphones and tablets.

The preview also has a page of Apple deals, although, as several sites have noted, these appear to be the usual 10-percent off deals Apple always offers on Black Friday. You can get $40-$60 of savings off full-sized iPads (both the iPad 2 and the new iPad with Retina Display) or a 13.3-inch MacBook Air is $1,199.99 before $175 worth of savings.
