Amazon
Here’s an example of a deal that’s getting even better: This capable Windows laptop has now dropped to $250, a $50 savings. Lenovo’s IdeaPad gives you a decent laptop that combines a modest Celeron processor with 64GB of storage and Windows 10 S Mode [which you can covert to the full version of Windows for free, if you wish]. It’s not a speed demon, but it’s among the least expensive Windows laptops you can buy. This laptop is a great gift for school-age kids.
Amazon
On the other hand, here’s a reason not to dawdle: this mid-performance laptop has edged up in price over the Black Friday deals period. It’s only gone up by $13 but it’s a sign that stocks may not be as plentiful as they were.
Even so, this is still an excellent price for this productivity-oriented device. The Intel Core i5 CPU comes with 256GB SSD storage, and there’s an inviting 15.6-inch full HD display. We love the fact that it has an almost-full-day battery life of about seven hours, but if it’s running flat, you can quick-charge it from flat to 50% in under an hour.
Amazon
Discounts on Apple laptops—and the brand’s tech in general—are pretty rare, so $200 off the MacBook Pro is a solid deal. Note that if you want the space gray version instead of silver, with identical specs, you have to stump up an extra $50. It’s $1,349, but that’s still a great $150 discount. This 13-inch model is equipped with Apple’s new M1 processor, 8GB Ram and a 512GB SSD for storage. The switch from Intel processors to Apple’s own silicon is underway and most deals around at the moment are for Intel versions. They’re fine, but this is way faster and more efficient: Battery life soars to up to 20 hours on a charge thanks to the M1 chip.
Samsung's Powerful Galaxy Book Pro Gets A Huge Discount
Amazon
Samsung has a good track record when it comes to Black Friday deals, and that’s clear in the $300 discount offered on the company’s flagship Windows laptop. There are several options available but they are selling fast, and some are no longer available. You can snag a model with 13-inch display reduced from $1,199.99 to $899.99, but this version is especially good and has the same $300 discount.
It has a great-looking 15.6-inch display and the bigger size means there’s room for a number pad alongside the QWERTY keyboard. There’s an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Oh, and did we mention? It comes in a very stylish deep navy color, which Samsung calls Mystic Blue. This is a solid medium to upper tier computer that has unique features that dovetail nicely with your Samsung Galaxy phone.
MacBook Air For $149 Less Than Apple’s Price
Amazon
Saving $150 on the popular MacBook Air with the new super-fast M1 chip and 512GB of SSD storage is excellent. It’s a great deal, and one you won’t find with the 256GB model [or many other Apple models at all]. The M1 processor is so good at power management that Apple removed the fan from its MacBook Air laptops, replacing it with an aluminum heat sink instead. The battery is the same size as previous generations but battery life, again down to that M1 chip, is off the scale.
This deal is going very fast, unsurprisingly, so it’s no longer available for the silver laptop. Choose from the elegant but businesslike space gray or the sultry and appealing gold colors.
LG Gram: Lightweight, Huge Storage & $400 Off
Amazon
If you’ve come across an LG Gram laptop, you’ll know the company is very big on making its machines extremely light. This 14-inch model is a 2-in-1; that is, you can use it in different positions and configurations so it’s as good a tablet as a regular laptop.
You may find it hard to fill up the 1TB storage on board here. It’s fast, too, thanks to the Core i7 processor. This is a slick and enjoyable laptop at a great price—at $1,297, it’s almost a quarter off.
Best Buy
This is the kind of savings that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are made for. The $400 price drop represents almost a quarter off, and means you could choose this powerful machine for the same money that would have bought you much less. The Yoga 9i has a beefy Intel Core i7 processor and plenty of storage space thanks to its 512GB SSD. But the best part is its 14-inch display, which has 4K resolution, like the largest big-screen TVs.
It’s called Yoga because it’s comfortable in lots of positions. You can stand it up in tent mode for watching a TV show or fold it right round on itself so it works like a tablet.
Samsung's Folding Laptop Is A Third Off
Samsung
Tempted by Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro? Well the 360 version has an even bigger $500 discount [$300 off plus $200 in Samsung credits, and if you are making a trade-in you can knock an extra $190 off that], and it folds in half.
This laptop is what’s called a 2-in-1, so you can bend the screen right back on itself and use it like a tablet. In between, there’s “tent mode” that lets you watch movies easily, or, if you push it a little further, provides a sturdy base for drawing or painting. It’s worth noting that, unlike the iPad or some Microsoft Surface models, this laptop includes Samsung’s capable stylus, called the S Pen, in the price. It also has an excellent display, long battery life and dedicated Samsung apps that work exclusively with your Galaxy phone.
A Microsoft Surface Laptop With A Great Display
Best Buy
Microsoft’s Surface range has some of the best build quality around, and the 12.4-inch Surface Laptop Go is no different. Microsoft makes a range of Surface devices. Most are tablets with capable keyboard covers, but if you’re after a laptop, this is a much better deal. It looks and feels far more expensive than it is—even at full price.
This is down to the comfortable keyboard, wide array of connections, a fingerprint reader, good-resolution display and long battery life.
This HP Chromebook is Half Price: Just $109
BestBuy
ChromeOS has improved massively in the last two years. If you’re after an affordable gift, things don’t come much cheaper than this little item: it’s a great my-first-laptop option. Its full price wasn’t exactly prohibitive—just $219—but there’s now a full 50% off as Best Buy’s early Cyber Monday deals take over from Black Friday discounts. This is a small, highly portable machine with an 11.6-inch display, 4GB of RAM and 32GB flash memory storage. Sure, you’ll find more powerful laptops than this, but it’s hard put to beat this price.
Best Buy
If it’s a Pro laptop you’re after, then Apple’s MacBook Pro range is tremendous and Best Buy has very serious discounts on high-spec machines. So, there’s $500 off the MacBook Pro 13-inch. This is a serious piece of kit with 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and 2560 x 1600 Retina display.
This MacBook Pro has an Intel processor in it rather than the company’s own M1 chip, but it’s powerful enough, and backed up with all that RAM, to make sure this model is a real performer. It also has the Touch Bar—where the top row of function keys is replaced with a thin touchscreen which changes the functions of the keys according to what you’re doing.
Apple MacBook Air for $900
Best Buy
The latest MacBook Air sports the super-speedy M1 chip that makes for stunning battery life and fast, responsive performance. The entry-level Air has 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and comes in three colors: Space Gray, Silver and Gold.
Right now, you can snag this extremely good laptop at Best Buy for 10% cheaper, which translates into a full $100 off.
Alexa, which laptop should I buy? Well, this HP Is $250 Off
Best Buy
How do you know this HP Envy 13.3-inch laptop is a current model? Because it has Windows 11. And it was good value at its previous $1,000 price thanks to an OLED touchscreen, Intel Evo Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD storage.
And it has Amazon Alexa built in, so you can talk to your laptop as well as typing on it. That’s handy for setting timers, creating to-do lists and lots more. Plus, because this is a 2-in-1, you can use it as easily as a tablet as a regular laptop.
Target Black Friday Laptop Deals
An MSI Gaming Laptop For Less
Target
Ah, the gaming laptop: a powerful computer that is specifically designed to run memory-hungry video games without stuttering or slowing down just when you need to take the battle to your opponent. You often pay a premium for this privilege, so savings are crucial, like the decent $150 off this model.
MSI’s gaming-focused Pulse GL66 laptop comes with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, Core i5 processor, 512GB SSD, FHD display and a colorful backlit keyboard. [That last bit is how you know for sure you’ve got a gaming laptop!] This is a no-nonsense gaming computer that should be able to play most titles without costing thousands.
A Mid-Range Laptop With Wi-Fi 6 And Lots Of Ports
Acer
This is a decent $100 price drop for the Acer Aspire 5 with its big, immersive full HD 15.6-inch display. It’s powered by a mid-range Intel Core i5 processor and has fast Wi-F i 6 connectivity. There are also plenty of ports for connecting accessories. Unlike many modern laptops, it has HDMI, USB 3.2 and USB-C.
Tablet + Keyboard Cover = Laptop With 25% Off
Target
Microsoft’s Surface Pro range consists of powerful tablets that are easily converted to become strong laptop alternatives. Usually, you pay extra for the keyboard cover that turns it into a laptop, but this model comes with the cover included. This version packs an Intel Core i5 CPU and 128GB SSD behind the 12.3-inch display.
What’s more, it comes with the highly usable stylus, which Microsoft calls the Surface Pen, in attractive Poppy Red finish. All this, and it’s 25% off—a discount of $279.
An HP Desktop Replacement Laptop For Just $670
Target
These days, there’s extra demand for bigger, powerful laptops—after all, if you’re working from home a lot, you may not mind something heavier when your commute is only from the home office to the living room. So, how about a laptop with a bigger-than-average display? You may care for this one from HP which has a 17.3-inch full HD display. It has decent, mid-performance components like an Intel Core i5 CPU and 256GB SSD. Despite its desktop replacement profile, it has a nearly all-day 7.5-hour battery life—handy if you’re working in the back yard, for instance.
Target
Maybe you want something that’s really affordable above everything else. Perhaps it’s a gift, for example. Then you should consider a laptop that uses Google’s ChromeOS alternative to Windows or macOS. It’s a lot cheaper, and is a strong, secure system.
HP's Chromebook 360 is a 2-in-1 laptop that folds backwards into a tablet with a responsive touchscreen and is even more of a steal than usual now that $50 has been knocked off its previously $399 price. It’s well-designed, well-built and has solid battery life.
A 14-inch laptop with over 40% off
Target
A Windows laptop with $200 off is pretty cool, but when you find this one was originally only $470, you realize it’s 43% off now. The processor is not the fastest—it’s an Intel Core i3 11th-generation chip—but this is a great choice for someone who’ll be using the laptop for all the basics [web browsing, word processing, video streaming] rather than the most demanding tasks.
The 4GB RAM and 128GB storage are also not cutting-edge, but this is a solid purchase at a great price.
Walmart Black Friday Laptop Deals
An Intel Core i5 Surface Laptop Go With 22% Off
Walmart
Walmart has the same excellent Microsoft device, the Surface Laptop Go, as Best Buy above. And, in fact, it beats Best Buy’s price [though only by 99c]. This is a highly portable laptop with a 12.4-inch touchscreen display, Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. It offers mid-range performance at a solid discount, and comes in a pretty blue finish called Ice Blue [though you can also choose silver or beige, which Microsoft calls Platinum and Sandstone, respectively].
Walmart
So do you want a laptop for serious stuff like work applications, or do you want something to play games? Why not have both? This Lenovo is designed both for desktop productivity and gaming. The Legion 5 has an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. If you want to stream New World or the new Halo, it might struggle a little, but it’ll play older titles with aplomb, all for under $700—that’s a price drop of over $200.
An Entry-Level Asus VivoBook That Can Be A Laptop Or Tablet On A Budget
Walmart
The challenge with choosing an entry-level laptop is that because the original price is competitive, you don’t get much money off at Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Well, that’s not the case with this laptop from Asus: The $140 off the $489 price brings it right down to $349.
The Asus VivoBook Flip is a 2-in-1, that is a laptop that can be used as a tablet as well. What’s more, the 14-inch display is bigger than most regular tablets can boast. It makes a great student computer. The full HD display is big without preventing the laptop from being portable. There’s also enough screen real estate to make coursework comfortable to do. It has a 128GB SSD for storage, a fingerprint reader for security and while it comes with Windows Home S Mode, you can covert it to a full version of Windows for free.
A Full Windows Laptop On A Chromebook Budget
Asus
It’s rare to find a Windows laptop priced this low. Ordinarily $279, the L510 is now just $239—Chromebook territory. You get a full HD display, powered by a Celeron processor and equipped with 128GB RAM. To be fair, this is Chromebook-level specs, but it’s great for kids who need a school laptop. And the Windows Home S Mode is perfect for them, too.
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 With Keyboard For Under $700
Walmart
The Surface Pro 7 is a tablet that only becomes a laptop if you spring for the Type Cover that doubles as keyboard and protective cover. Fortunately, it’s included in the price of this model from Walmart. It’s the same size screen [12.3 inches] and has the same storage [128GB] as the one above from Target, but this one is cheaper because it has a less powerful processor [Intel Core i3]. Even so, it’s powerful enough for many applications. And you don’t even need to wait patiently for Windows 11 to arrive: It’s already included.
A Samsung Chromebook With Over a Third Off
Walmart
If you want something super-portable, the 11.6-inch display here helps keep the size and weight to a minimum. It’s a Chromebook, which means it’s affordable to start off with, but Walmart’s $71 discount, the equivalent of 36% off, makes it especially appealing.
The 4GB RAM and 32GB SSD storage won’t set the world alight, but this is a decent entry-level device which is at a great price, especially when it has the big name of Samsung on the lid.
Other Black Friday Laptop Deals
Dell
This discount puts an Intel Core i5-powered laptop with a generous 512GB SSD for storage right around the $500 mark, which makes this portable a steal. This is the price zone for premium Chromebooks, but Dell delivers a 15.6-inch full HD display, a slew of ports, SD card slot and Microsoft Windows at this price.
A Serious Gaming Laptop With A Serious Discount
NewEgg
MSI’s GP Series 15.6-inch gaming laptop will provide the punch you need to play top titles on higher graphics settings. That’s thanks to the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB on DDR4 RAM and the 1TB SSD. At $500 less than the regular price, this is a solid deal for gaming hunters. Note that the discount comes in two parts: $400 off the sticker price and then a $100 rebate.
HP
Gaming laptops under $1,000 are hard to find, which is why this HP Pavilion is such a great find. And this Black Friday deal is now even better, a full $200 savings.
It has an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for just over $600. The full HD display is 15.6 inches [which is great, whether you’re using it for gaming or productivity] and the backlit keyboard makes it easy to work and play in the dark.
Go Big Or Go Home With This 17-Inch GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Laptop
Gigabyte
If you have your sights set on high-end gaming or you need the fastest PC you can get your hands on for graphics or video production, then check out this Gigabyte Aero 17. Packed with an Intel Core i9 and Nvidia GeForce RTS 3080, it’s more than beefy enough to move pixels around the 17-inch 4K display. It also includes 32GB RAM and 1.5TB of high-speed SSD storage. The $300 savings comes in the form of a $300 rebate and represents a healthy 10% off the full price.
B&H
Two-in-1 convertible laptops are super convenient, easily switching from clamshell to tablet and back again. Back in the day, Lenovo was among the first brands to popularize this format, and the IdeaPad Flex 5 is the modern embodiment. This model lets you get into the convertible business inexpensively with a modest Intel Core i3 processor and 128GB of SSD storage. But you also get a great 14-inch full HD touchscreen, lots of ports and a very portable 3.3 pound weight.
This High-Spec HP Envy Gets A Huge Discount
Newegg
The HP Envy 17 is $600 cheaper this Black Friday and Cyber Monday—that’s more than a third off. This is a high specification computer that comes with a Core i7 processor, a HD+ touchscreen display and a huge 32GB of DDR4 RAM. There's also a 1TB SSD and integrated Iris Xe graphics. This is a creative powerhouse for people looking to do heavy editing or other intensive tasks, including some gaming.
