Gaming laptops are typically expensive, but thanks to this deal, you can get an incredible machine for hundreds of dollars off.
For a limited time, the Asus TUF Dash 15.6” gaming laptop is on sale for $999 at Best Buy. That’s $500 off its regular retail price of $1,499, and the lowest ever price we’ve spotted for this configurated. Best Buy previously sliced $250 off in late October, but the retailer has now taken a further $250 off, making this one of the best Best Buy Black Friday deals currently available.
A price cut of this size on a gaming laptop with such desirable specs is fairly rare. This machine comes packing a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12650H processor, 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card. That’s enough power to run the best PC games at high settings.
The 512GB SSD might not be quite enough to store many blockbuster games at once, but you can solve this minor drawback with one of the best external hard drives.
This is a pretty attractive discount on a very good gaming laptop, so we don’t expect it to stick around too long. Make sure to take a look before it potentially sells out.
This is a really great deal for those looking for a 2-in-1 laptop.
Right now, Best Buy is selling the HP Envy x360 15.6-inch 2-in-1 laptop for $649. That’s $300 off its regular price of $949.
This HP Envy x360 laptop features a large 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) touchscreen display. Such a massive screen is great for watching streaming content on YouTube and Netflix. The display is also spacious enough for multiple windows when you want to be more productive. Similarly, touchscreen functionality should also help you get more work done.
In terms of specs, you’ll find an Intel Evo 12th Generation Intel Core i5-1235U CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. It also has an integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics GPU. These specs aren’t exactly mind-blowing, but they’re suitable enough for normal computing tasks like word processing and web browsing — not to mention watching TV shows and movies.
Though this particular machine isn’t quite on the level of the best 2-in-1 laptops, it’s an overall solid device, especially at such a reduced price.
Right now, Walmart is selling an HP Chromebook for $79. This laptop is normally $98, which means you’ll save nearly $20.
Since this is a Chromebook, it’s far from a powerhouse laptop. However, it’s still a capable machine. It packs an 11.3-inch HD display, an AMD A4 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. As you’d expect from a Chromebook, it’s powered by the reliable and easy-to-navigate Chrome OS.
On a regular laptop, 32GB of storage wouldn’t be enough. However, it’s decently sufficient on a Chromebook since you’ll mostly use Google online services like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and so forth. This also means you’ll want to use this (or any) Chromebook in a place with a reliable internet connection to get the most out of it.
Given its modest specs, this HP Chromebook isn’t for those who want to perform processor-heavy tasks such as video editing. And it’s certainly not an ideal pick if you want to play the best PC games. But if you’re looking for a machine that’s good for basic everyday tasks and schoolwork, then this Chromebook is an extremely affordable option.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 recently came out a couple of weeks ago. Because of that, we’re not surprised to see the previous iteration see a severe discount in the days leading up to Black Friday.
Right now you can get the Surface Pro 8 for just $899 at Best Buy. That’s a fantastic $450 off and the lowest price we’ve seen for this device. Even better, a keyboard is included, so you don’t have to pay extra for this accessory.
In our Surface Pro 8 review, we praised the vibrant 13-inch touch display and sharp webcam. And while the 11th gen CPU isn’t the fastest at this point, you’ll have plenty of performance for multitasking.
Overall, this is a killer deal on the Surface Pro 8 and we would grab it before it sells out.
This is one of the biggest (no pun intended) laptop deals we’ve seen so far. You can get the MacBook Pro 14-inch for a whopping $400 off at Amazon!
So what’s so good about this system? The M1 Pro chip inside this machine delivers screaming fast performance, whether you’re juggling dozens of tabs, editing photos or transcoding large video files. You can also spring for the M1 Max chip if you want even more oomph. The standard configuration comes with 16GB of unified memory and a 512GB SSD.
Another big highlight is the 14-inch mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display. It’s bright (about 500 nits in our testing), colorful and goes nearly edge to edge, which the exception of the notch up top where the 1080p webcam sits. This is a great panel for watching video or creating or editing content.
We also really like the battery life offered by the MacBook Pro 14-inch. We saw an excellent 14 hours and 9 minutes of endurance in the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness. And you can charge back up using the handy magnetic MagSafe charger.
Overall, this is an amazingly good deal on the MacBook Pro 14-inch. We would act fast before it sells out.
Hey, all! Computing Writer, Tony Polanco, here to bring you some of the best early Black Friday deals we’ve been able to find. Without further ado, let’s get right into some of the hottest deals available right now.
Right now the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop is just $899 at Best Buy. That’s a fantastic $500 discount off the usual $1,399 asking price of this 14-inch gaming laptop that delivers great performance and battery life in an elegant, ultraportable chassis.
In our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review we called it one of the best gaming laptops you can buy because it packs enough power to run most games well, yet lasts long enough on battery and looks good enough on a desk that you carry it to school or the office.
Another thing we love about this laptop is its battery life. In our testing, the Zephyrus G14 lasted 11 hours and 32 minutes while surfing the web, which is remarkable for a gaming laptop. Admittedly you’ll get far less than that while gaming (to the tune of a couple of hours, tops), but even so it’s rare performance for the category.
