UPDATE: Nov. 28,filem lucah altantuya 2024, 11:45 a.m. EST This story has been updated with a fresh batch of Black Friday laptop deals, including three new top picks with record-low prices.

Black Friday is the absolute best time for finding good deals on laptops. (I would know: I've tracked them for Mashable since 2019.) And with retailers taking full advantage of the holiday's abnormally late timing this year, steep savings have been abundant all month long.
With Black Friday proper now basically upon us, the competition is especially intense — like, way more intense than previous years have felt. Amazon somehow managed to pull off the best MacBook and Windows laptop deals by not-small margins, while Best Buy is winning the battle for the top gaming laptop and Chromebook discounts of the holiday season thus far. I'm seeing lots of new and year-round lows between the two of them.
If neither retailer is discounting models with the specific specs you want, other Black Friday sales at Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, Microsoft, Razer, and Samsung have ushered in discounts as high as $900 across their lineups.
SEE ALSO: The best early Black Friday deals at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and WalmartAs a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer will be live starting Nov. 29; M2 and M3 MacBooks will come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.
Read on for a closer look at the best Black Friday laptop deals available across the web. Bookmark this page and check back often, as I'll be updating the list continuously as we head into Cyber Weekend.

Best MacBook deal
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB) ✨ $844 at Amazon $1,099 Save $255
Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the M3 Apple MacBook Air.
Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon was impressed by the M3 Air's peppy performance, satisfying keyboard, vivid webcam, and dual-display support (if you close its lid), rating it a 4.3/5. It may not look all that different from its older M-series predecessors — there isa new midnight finish option — but we think it's the best MacBook for most people, especially now that Apple's bumped its base RAM from 8GB to 16GB.
The starting configuration with 256GB of storage is on sale on Amazon for only $844, which is 23% off its $1,099 MSRP, an all-time low, and $5 better than Best Buy's Black Friday deal on the exact same MacBook. This also puts less than $100 between it and the M2 Air, so opting for the current-gen model over the cheapest model out there feels like an easier, more obvious choice.

Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.
Microsoft's Copilot+ PC has an even longer battery life than the new M4 MacBook Pros — it lasted nearly 23 hours in our testing — and it comes with AI features that "make Windows fun again," Gedeon wrote. She gave it a 4.8/5; it's a Mashable Choice Award winner and our current favorite Windows laptop for most people, barring any ARM-related app compatibility issues.
The upgraded configuration that Gedeon tested is a 13-inch model featuring a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. It usually retails for $1,999.99, and Amazon has it listed for $1,549.99 earlier in its Black Friday Week sale (with the Microsoft Store matching it). But now it's down to just $1,499.99 there. That's a 25% savings and its biggest discount ever.
Amazon doesn't offer price matching if you bought the Surface Laptop 7 at a previous sale price, but you do have the option of returning it and rebuying it. The retailer's extended holiday return policy applies to most purchases made between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31.

Best gaming laptop deal
Opens in a new window Credit: Alienware Alienware m16 R2 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) ✨ $1,299.99 at Best Buy $1,899.99 Save $600
Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the Alienware m16 R2.
This premium 16-incher is the best gaming laptop we tried in 2024 (and another Mashable Choice Award winner), earning a score of 4.5/5 from Gedeon. She was impressed by its ample mid-range power, its "springy" keyboard, and its solid build quality, as well as its "seamless" support of Nvidia's Advanced Optimus feature. That lets it switch between its discrete and integrated GPUs "to handle both play and work," she wrote.
Our testing configuration featured an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 graphics, 16GB of memory, and a terrabyte of storage. It's down to $1,299.99 at Best Buy this Black Friday, which is $600 off its usual list price there and a record-low.
Another model with a slightly better processor and a slightly worse GPU is on sale for the same price on Dell's website, FYI; it's typically $1,699.99 there.
