Thin and light RTX 3050 Ti gaming for under $1,200!
Our reviewer awarded the Alienware X14 R1 4 out of 5 stars and praised its sleek design, great overall and gaming performance, and solid battery life. Their only concerns were the display coming up just shy of the DCI-P3 color gamut average for premium laptops (77.7% vs. 81.6%) and the high starting price, so this deal eliminates one of the two.
One of the thinnest gaming laptops available at just 0.57-inches thick, the X14 R1 still packs some powerful specs—featuring an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, 16GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050Ti GPU, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 144HZ FHD (1920 x 1080) display.
Scoring this sleek gaming laptop for under $1,200 from Dell (opens in new tab) right now is one of the best deals we’ve seen on a premium gaming laptop so far.
17-inch Vivobook with Intel 12th Gen falls below $500!
Asus’s Vivobook 17X’s specs boast plenty of performance power for work and play. The notebook in this deal packs a 17.3-inch (1920 x 1080) display with 180 lay-flat hinge sleek geometric design for convenient screen sharing.
Powering the laptop is a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12500H 12-core CPU coupled 8GB of RAM alongside Iris Xe graphics and a 512GB SSD for storage. This configuration is ideal for day-to-day multitasking, streaming content and light gaming.
Now just under $480 at Staples (opens in new tab), the Asus Vivobook is the best laptop for the money. This is one of the best Black Friday laptop deals you don’t have to wait for.
Save $450 on a Surface Pro 8+keyboard bundle!
The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 remains an outstanding option for 2-in-1 laptop fans that want something a bit closer to a tablet than a laptop. The best part about this deal is that it answers our typical complaint of not getting a keyboard as the Surface Pro 8 and Type Cover are just $899 at Best Buy (opens in new tab).
The model in this deal features an Intel Core i5-1145G7 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In my Surface Pro 8 review, I was thrilled with the performance, the new webcam, and the updated design that eliminated those infamous bezels from the now larger display. That was enough to earn it a 4 out of 5-star rating and an Editor’s Choice award.
At just over 9 hours the battery life is just ok, but my only other complaint was the price and lack of a bundled keyboard, both of which are solved by this deal.
iPad Pro 2022 gets its first discount!
While we understandably love our laptops, some tablets certainly blur the lines and Apple’s 2022 iPad Pro is certainly one such example. It is one of the best tablets to buy with even faster performance in its pro-grade series this year. It retains the same gorgeous 11-inch (2388 x 1668) Liquid Retina display — now powered by Apple’s M2 processor with enhanced GPU.
Amazon is slashing $50 off the iPad Pro 11 (opens in new tab), the first discount we’ve seen on the new tablets and there’s a good chance that’s the steepest discount for this model through Black Friday. Much like the iPhone, the iPad enjoys years of software support and combined with the absolutely improbable power of the M2 processor you’ll be enjoying this tablet for years to come.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 3060 is just $899!
While it’s not the cheapest Black Friday gaming laptop deal we’ve seen, the ROG Zephyrus G14 for $899 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) is one of the most affordable that we’d recommend if you want to play modern AAA games with decent settings.
A $500 discount on this already reasonably priced laptop brings it down to a great entry price and Asus makes some of the industry’s best gaming laptops. This model features a 14-inch (1920 x 1080) display with a 144Hz refresh rate and runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU coupled with 16GB of RAM. Rounding out its powerful specs are Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 GPU and a 512GB SSD. That’s plenty of brawn for playing the latest PC games and day-to-day tasks for school or work.
In our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review, we were impressed by its slim design, stellar performance, and solid audio. We also appreciate its comfortable keyboard and amazing battery life.

Save up to $200 off MacBook Pro M2 at Best Buy!
Black Friday MacBook deals abound and the MacBook Pro M2 is no exception, with $150 off the base model and $200 off any other MacBook Pro M2 configuration at Best Buy (opens in new tab).
The MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 earned 4.5 out of 5 stars from us on the strength of its outstanding performance, otherworldly battery life (18+ hours!), great webcam, and comfortable keyboard. While it didn’t get the design update that the Air M2 saw this year, that may not bother you as the classic look of the MacBook Pro won’t go out of style soon.

And unlike some other tablets and 2-in-1s this comes with the stylus included!
HP’s Spectre x360 lineup is a mainstay on our best 2-in-1 laptops with strong performance along with a stylish and durable design and this model is no exception.
In our HP Spectre x360 16 review, we were stunned by that 16-inch UHD+ (3840 x 2400) OLED display, stylish form factor, and ample battery life. That model came with an 11th Gen Intel chip, but the HP Spectre x360 16 in this deal boasts Intel’s latest, powerful processor, meaning it can handle demanding tasks and plenty of multitasking without breaking a sweat.
This Chromebook is under $80!

The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 in this early Black Friday deal features a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) AMOLED touch screen, an Intel Core i7-1260P CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD — all for less than $1,000 from Samsung!
The Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 earned a fantastic 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editor’s Choice award from us this year. In our review we praised the 2-in-1 laptop for its stunning, portable design and powerful performance. We also adored its bright, color-rich AMOLED display. It continues to blow my mind that a 15.6-inch laptop, let alone a 2-in-1 laptop with a sturdy hinge, can be this thin and light.
You can even save another $200 off if you have an eligible phone, tablet, watch or laptop to trade-in.
