AliExpress has opened its early Black Friday sale to UK shoppers, and gamers have a long list of discounts to work through before the official sales even begin. The retailer is cutting prices on mini PCs, processors, portable monitors, power banks and the Nintendo Switch 2, and a set of voucher codes can push many of those prices lower still.

The timing is the hook. These deals are live now, ahead of the main Black Friday event, and several of them come with codes that stack on top of the sale price.

Mini PCs lead the early discounts

GMKtec’s K12 Mini PC is the entry point. It ships with an AMD Ryzen 7 H255 processor and very little else, which means you choose the rest. Pick your own RAM, your operating system and any other parts you want. The bare unit has dropped by £359.13, bringing it down to £278.73.

If you want more hardware out of the box, the GMKtec M6 Ultra Mini includes an AMD Ryzen 5, 512GB of SSD storage, 16GB of RAM and Windows 11 Pro. Its price has fallen by a whopping £646.96, to £368.67. The 26NOVBD53 code can take another £53 off that figure.

The full voucher list

AliExpress is running a long run of codes for this sale. Each one carries a minimum spend:

26NOVBDX3 takes £3 off orders of £15. 26NOVBDX7 takes £7 off £40. 26NOVBD15 takes £15 off £90. 26NOVBD30 takes £30 off £185. 26NOVBD42 takes £42 off £250. 26NOVBD53 takes £53 off £300. 26NOVBD65 takes £65 off £390. 26NOVBD83 takes £83 off £480.

The codes are the reason this sale deserves a close look. A modest discount on a cheap accessory is one thing. Stacking a code on a mini PC or a console is another.

Processors, monitors and power banks

Chip buyers have a standout option. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is listed at £237.21, down from £336.37 for new customers. Add the 26NOVBD30 code and the saving grows further.

For a second screen, the Amoudo 15.6-inch 1920x1080 portable monitor drops to £33.25, a cut of £55.13. It connects to a PC, a laptop, a Switch 2 or nearly anything else with a display input. It also has a VESA mount, so it can sit on a desk setup if you would rather not carry it around. The 26NOVBDX3 code still applies to it.

The Anker Prime Power Bank is the pick for anyone who lives on the move. It is a well-reviewed, two-way charging unit from a reputable brand, with a maximum output of 220W. It is approved for airline travel and can charge several devices at once, including a Steam Deck, a Switch 2, phones and tablets. The price is now £98.24, a saving of £190.73. The 26NOVBD15 code knocks off another £15.

Nintendo Switch 2 drops toward £336

The most eye-catching figure in the sale is the console itself. AliExpress has the Nintendo Switch 2 at around £336 when you apply code 26NOVBD53 at checkout. That is a notable price for Nintendo’s latest hardware, and it stands out in particular for anyone who has been holding off for a deal.

That’s a particularly notable price for Nintendo’s latest console, especially if you’ve been waiting for a deal rather than paying the usual UK asking price.

This is the UK version of the console. It ships from the UK with a UK plug charger, so buyers do not need to worry about importing a model with a different power adapter.

Bikes, microphones and gaming furniture

The sale reaches well beyond consoles and PCs. Shoppers can find URLIFE and Samebike electric bikes, more GMKtec mini PCs, AMD hardware, FIFINE gaming microphones and audio gear, and GTPLAYER and BIGZZIA gaming furniture. The same promo codes work across these items, which pushes them down to some seriously low prices.

Why the window matters

The official Black Friday sales have not started yet. That gap is where this early sale lives. Gamers and tech buyers who have been tracking the Switch 2, a mini PC build or a power bank for their next trip now have a set of concrete prices to compare against. Several of those prices are paired with codes that only add value when the cart is large enough to qualify, so checking the minimum spend before you buy is the difference between a decent deal and a great one.

The early sale gives UK shoppers a chance to lock in hardware before the main event begins, and the stacked codes make the numbers hard to ignore.
