Massive savings on MacBooks, Windows laptops, Chromebooks and more
The time to save on your next laptop is now, as Black Friday sales are rolling in massive discounts on many of the best laptops we've tested this year. I'm seeing MacBooks at their lowest prices ever, Chromebooks at over 60% off and RTX 50-series gaming rigs at all-time lows.
So far, you can find a MacBook Air M4 with a $250 price cut at Amazon (the most affordable it's been), and even this Lenovo LOQ with an RTX 5050 down to an incredible $649 at Best Buy. And for something dirt cheap? You can grab an Acer Chromebook 14 for just $119.
But that's just the tip of the deal-berg. I've been tracking the latest laptop deals for years, and the sales right now are offering amazing value. As we march towards the big sales event, our Black Friday live blog will keep you posted on the best discounts. But for all things laptops, here are the major sales I've found worth jumping on.
