The Best Black Friday Laptop Deals

From what we’ve seen, this is the strongest laptop deal in the run-up to Black Friday. Not only does it sport an eighth-generation quad-core Core i5 processor, but it also weighs in at less than 4 pounds. We’d normally expect a laptop with these specs to come in around the $ 500 mark, so this is definitely an outstanding value.

During the rest of the year, we’d expect a 2-in-1 laptop with these specs to sell for around $ 700. And since Walmart’s price is $ 50 less than Dell’s during Black Friday, the discount on this quad-core 1080p Dell Inspiron 15 5000 is hard to pass up.

The sleek Surface Pro 6 is an incredibly lightweight laptop with all-day battery life, so this sale is hard to beat for commuters. (See PCMag review.)

While we’ve come to expect the baseline 13.3-inch MacBook Pro to be discounted, we rarely see the 15-inch version with higher specs receive significant drops. If you’re a Mac fan, take this opportunity to save $ 250 on an upgraded 15-inch MacBook Pro with a six-core Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. (See PCMag’s review.)

A laptop with these specs would normally sell for about $ 1,000, but this $ 800 asking price is one of the deepest discounts we’ve seen on a model with a GTX 1060 GPU. If you don’t care deeply about hitting higher resolutions in your games, this 1080p model is superb.

This HP laptop includes a full HD touch screen, a powerful Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 16GB of Intel Optane memory at an excellent price. And thanks to the 2-in-1 design, this machine can easily be configured to maximize comfort regardless of where you’re working.

The Surface Go weighs a mere 1.1 pounds, and is priced competitively with the iPad. And since it offers the versatility you’d expect from a Windows machine, this is a great option for frequent business travelers. (Check out PCMag’s review.)
