I'm a laptop expert and these 43+ Black Friday deals are the ones I’d recommend to friends and family without hesitation

The latest MacBook Air is now so cheap, I'm all out of reasons to tell you to buy the M2 or M1 MacBooks. This is only up to $150 more, and you're getting the latest beefy performance for the price — maximum bang for your buck.

An RTX 5070 gaming laptop that is cheaper than most RTX 5060 systems, which doesn't forget the rest of the spec sheet. The 16-inch 165Hz display is buttery smooth, while the Intel Core i7-13620H CPU and 16GB DDR5 RAM keeps things zippy.

For what you pay, this is a phenomenal 2-in-1 packing Snapdragon X silicon for great performance and impressive power efficiency too, all in a seriously premium build with great ergonomics.

Yes there are cheap Chromebooks, but I'll always tell people to go for Chromebook Plus for the additional performance packed inside and access to all the Gemini AI features of ChromeOS. The Chromebook Plus 515 is my personal favorite, and the cheapest too.

This is my all-time favorite gaming laptop — the MacBook Pro of systems for play. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 sports a sleek aesthetic with a gorgeous OLED display, while packing peak performance with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and a screamer of an RTX 5070 Ti GPU.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This is a $49 Chromebook. It's not going to set the world on fire with performance (Intel Celeron, 4GB RAM and 16GB storage), but it's a 11-inch casual workhorse for dirt cheap.

Need something dirt cheap that does the essentials? You cannot go far wrong with the Galaxy Chromebook Go. The specs are small with an Intel Celeron CPU and 4GB RAM, but its more than enough to keep ChromeOS nice and zippy with all its new Gemini AI features too.

Not everyone needs a top-of-the-line laptop with the latest and greatest technolgy. Sometimes, you just want an affordable device that can browse the web and check email. The Intel Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM will do just that (and not much more). But it's ultra-cheap.

This Lenovo comes packed with 8GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD and a respectable Intel Core i3-N305 processor. The 15.6-inch display provides enough screen real estate to get work done or watch movies and videos. The 1080p screen is a nice bonus, as everything you watch on it will look sharp and clean.

Now down to just $199, the Acer Aspire 15 Slim is a downright bargain. Perfect for browsing the web, answering emails and an affordable upgrade to Windows 11, expect a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display, Intel Core 3 N355 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. While it will feel a bit sluggish this is a killer price for a full Windows laptop, and it's great as a kid's first laptop or as a basic web browser.

This HP laptop doesn't have many bells and whistles, but it has enough power to handle day-to-day computing tasks. The screen is big, and it has a decent amount of RAM at 8GB. The 128GB SSD is a bit small, but if you're going to be downloading anything too massive, this will work.

Get 24% off this impressive 2-in-1 Chromebook with 12 months of free Google One AI Premium access. Up top, you've got a sharp 14-inch 1080p touchscreen display, which is part of a lightweight, durable chassis that's been military-grade tested.

A huge 30% saving on one of my personal favorite Chromebook Plus laptops — packing a huge 15-inch FHD panel for all your binging-watching needs, alongside great ergonomics, impressive performance and 12 months of Google AI Pro for free (including Gemini 3).

HP makes some solid laptops, especially in the affordable category. This one comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. There's an Intel Core i5 processor under the hood, so you'll be able to handle some relatively intense multitasking, especially considering the price.

This HP 2-in-1 laptop is available for an absolute steal for Black Friday. With just under 50% off, you'll have a hard time beating the value offered here. It has a 16-inch touchscreen, a 512GB SSD, and 16GB of RAM, giving it enough power to handle all kinds of day-to-day use cases.

You read that right. This Lenovo LOQ 15 is down to a crazy $649, and that's with an RTX 5050 GPU for the latest in entry-level gaming performance. It's not a powerhouse, but with its Intel Core i5-13450HX CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD, along with its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display with a 144Hz refresh rate, this laptop is a great pick for those who enjoy fast-paced multiplayer hits.

The MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops because it's remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount.

This is the lowest price I've ever seen for the 13-inch MacBook Air M4, making this remarkably fast and long-lasting ultraportable far more affordable. This is the entry-level model with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but the more powerful models are also on sale if you'd rather have more memory!

We gave the similar Lenovo Slim 7 a strong 4.5-star review, and it's hard to go wrong with its 16-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS touchscreen for even more ways to use it.

An RTX 50-series gaming laptop for under $1,000? That's right, as the Alienware 16 Aurora is bringing strong entry-level gaming to an all-new low. Along with its RTX 5050 GPU (Nvidia's DLSS 4 excels at delivering sky-high frame rates), expect an Intel Core 7 240H CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its 512GB storage is a tad lacking, but you can customize to add more if needed.

Amazon is offering some of the best deals on Apple laptops we've ever seen. For the larger 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip, you can save a solid $250. Everything we said about the 13-inch holds true, but it's larger for laptop users who want a bigger display.

A fantastic premium notebook for an impressively low price — this OLED-armed Aura Edition Yoga from Lenovo packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, along with that gorgeous display up top and stellar ergonomics.

Personally, I call this one of the ultimate student notebooks, but it’s also a fantastic all-rounder that makes even the MacBook Air blush at under £500.
