I'm tracking the best Black Friday laptop deals LIVE — MacBooks at lowest price, gaming laptops 50% off and more

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.

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.

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!
MacBook Air 13" M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $949
MacBook Air 13" M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,149

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 makes for an excellent work laptop and at-home PC, with its Intel Core Ultra 7 155U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. Now that it's well under its $1,000 price, you can expect plenty of bang for your buck with its impressive performance, which is fine-tuned for work and even some light gaming. 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.

If you're a fan of the older XPS lineup, we've got good news: the Dell 14 Premium is an XPS in everything but name, meaning you can get the same excellent specs, and design, now for $550 off! Expect an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Oh, and a 14.5-inch 2K display. In our Dell 14 Premium review, we named it a fantastic Windows laptop.

This model of Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop is a steal at $999 thanks to its 15.6-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD. It also comes with three free months of Xbox Game Pass for PC, making this a great gift for the PC game fan in your life.

I reviewed the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo and I love this light Windows 11 ultraportable. It's a great MacBook Air alternative with a far more gorgeous 3.5K (2880 x 1800) OLED screen. This model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD, and it even comes with a microSD card reader for good measure!

This is wild because this 14" MacBook Pro with the cutting-edge Apple M5 chip just came out a few weeks ago, and you can already get $155 off in this killer Black Friday deal. That M5 chip brings supersonic CPU speeds and drastically upgraded GPU for peak performance, while also offering a breakthrough 18 hours of battery life on one charge too. If you have a heavy workload, this is the one to get.

This Razer Blade 14 gaming laptop model sports the line's trademark 14-inch OLED 3K 120Hz display along with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU, AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. This is the lowest I've ever seen this laptop, and while you can get it for the same price at other retailers, you get a free copy of the game Arc Raiders if you buy through Razer.

This model of Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is a slick gaming laptop powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. It also has a 16-inch (2560 x 1600) OLED 240Hz display with HDR support that ensures all your games and movies will look amazing.

The obligatory dirt-cheap Chromebook deal is here, and it’s 50% off the HP Chromebook 14. Specs are modest, but given how lightweight ChromeOS is, it’s still a zippy system even under multitasking pressures. Plus, the year of free Gemini Pro is a nice added bonus to electrify your workload with AI.

Here, we enter family computer territory (replacing the big off-white tower of the 90s with a slim, sleek 15-inch notebook). The Dell 15 is really well priced, given the Intel Core 3, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD you get. Complete it with a 15.6-inch 120Hz 1080p panel and surprisingly good ergonomics, and this is a great option for casual users.

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. The Snapdragon X processor is surprisingly zippy given the low cost of entry — paired with 16GB RAM and 256GB of storage, and a battery life of up to a whopping 27 hours.

Need dirt-cheap 1080p gaming? Look no further than the MSI Thin 15, which is £400 off right now. The RTX 4050 is more than enough for 1080p on that 144Hz display at medium settings across a whole lot of AAA titles. And the Intel Core i5-13420H will be able to run that GPU unthrottled, while also adding some nice speed to your other tasks.

The 13-inch M4 Air has dropped to its lowest price ever here in the U.K. Perfect timing for that critical laptop upgrade, and at just £100 more than the M2 or M1 MacBook Airs, there’s no need to go old this year. The latest M4 chip is a screamer in performance, paired with a slim, sleek design.

Finding an RTX 50-series laptop for under £1,000 is a rare sight, but this Alienware 16 Aurora with an RTX 5060 just hit that mark. Now £200 off, this gaming rig comes with strong specs that go past entry-level gaming, including an Intel Core 7 240H CPU, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. And it's 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate will see those PC games shine.

It's the latest MacBook Air M4 we rave about, but this time with a splendid 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display. It's one of the best 15-inch laptops around, and it's hard to go wrong with more screen real estate if you need it. It's not the cheapest I've seen it, but only by £20. At £120 off, this is a fantastic steal.

For a mega-sized gaming laptop with more than enough performance to play the latest AAA PC games, this Acer Nitro 18 will do the trick. Now nearly £420 off, you'll get an AMD Ryzen AI 7 CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD for good measure. And that 18-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) display with a 165Hz refresh rate will see games run buttery smooth with a high level of detail.

For peak power to breeze through heavy-duty productivity, creative work and video edits, you'll want the might of a MacBook Pro with M4 Pro. Now that it's £249 off (the lowest it's been!), you can make brilliant savings on this top-tier laptop with a 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 24GB of RAM, 512GB SSD and a glorious 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display.
