Black Friday laptop deals are now live days before Black Friday 2024 which falls on Nov. 29 this year.

It's Black Friday week and deals on MacBooks, Windows notebooks, and Chromebooks offer unprecedented discounts. Now is the best time of year to score the lowest prices of the year on select top-rated laptops we've tested and rated.

So if you're looking for a price break on a new personal computer, it's the best time of the year to buy a laptop. The biggest difference between last year and this year is we may be facing heavy tariffs soon in the U.S., and since most laptop parts are sourced overseas, laptop prices will likely go up. So if you're due for an upgrade, we highly recommend buying now.

Given that retailers are jump-starting the holiday season with steep discounts on laptops, it's not too early to save.

FAQs

What is a good laptop deal?

This differs from laptop to laptop, but the key tip we have is to check the original price. And I don't mean to look what the deal says you're saving. Shopping direct from Lenovo and HP almost guarantees that the laptop will always be on sale.

You can find the original price for laptops in our reviews, or you can even Google the laptop's name followed by "original price." Then you'll see if you're actually saving money on that deal you found.

There are so many deals, which laptop should I buy?

Now this is where Laptop Mag's reviews come in handy. If you're looking for a laptop that you won't regret purchasing, we highly recommend checking out our best laptops list or best gaming laptops list.

Any laptop that lands at 4 out of 5 stars or above is worth your consideration. It's rare for us to deliver 5 stars, although the recent MacBook Pro achieved that. However, 4.5 stars with an Editor's Choice award are way more common, so keep an eye out for those especially.
