My 5 favorite Black Friday laptop deals

Display - 13.6 inches
Processor - Apple M2
RAM - 16G
B Storage - 256GB

Newer M3 and M4 models are now available, but this is an unbelievable price for the MacBook Air 13-inch with an M2 chip. While it's an older version, it remains an incredibly powerful laptop for those requiring a premium
powerhouse for school, productivity, coding, or creative work. You also get double the amount of RAM at 16GB, although the 256GB of storage feels a
little paltry in 2025. Still, we rated it highly in our MacBook Air M2 review , thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core 3
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 512GB

If you're looking for a cheap machine to handle the basics, then this Dell 15 laptop is almost unbelievably affordable thanks to Dell's discounts in the run-up to Black Friday. Although it's only got a combination of an Intel Core 3 chipset and 8GB of RAM, these should suffice if you're just looking to do simple tasks like browsing, answering emails, or streaming content. View Deal

The Dell 14 Premium is one of the best laptops of the year, and now, with
this 35% discount for Dell's Black Friday sale, you can get a 14 Premium with Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor with Intel Arc graphics, 16GB LPDDR5x RAM, 512GB SSD, and a 14.5-inch, 1600p 120Hz display for its cheapest price ever. View Deal

The Acer Nitro V 15 gaming laptop is an excellent system for gamers on a budget who are more than happy to tackle triple-A games at 1080p resolution. Powered by Intel's Core i5-13420H processor and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU, gaming performance at 1080p is smooth, and the system can deliver impressive results when utilizing DLSS 4. View Deal

Processor: MediaTek
RAM: 4G
B Storage: 64GB

This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a very basic device, but it's ridiculously cheap, making it a good buy for general web browsing, admin
tasks and schoolwork. It won't offer great performance and will struggle with anything beyond light use, but the lean ChromeOS gets more from the entry-level components and ensures a lengthy full-day battery life. View Deal Black Friday laptop deals in the US

Processor: Ryzen 5
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 512GB

Ideal for streaming and working, this Asus laptop has a Ryzen 5 Processor and 8GB of RAM, which is decent for most basic needs, and an impressive 512GB of storage.

Processor: Intel N200
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 64GB

Here's another fairly basic Chromebook, but this one comes with a welcome
bump up to 8GB of RAM to help boost performance. It's still best-suited to general use because of the entry-level processor and limited storage space, but it's up to the job of web browsing, light work, writing documents, and streaming media. Plus, you get the superior battery life of up to 11.5 hours with this HP Chromebook, which is much more compared to similarly priced Windows machines. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core i3
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 128GB

If you'd prefer a similar Windows machine for the same price as the
Chromebook above, then this HP Laptop 15 is also down to $219.99 at Best Buy. It also has a fairly low-end spec, but you still get 8GB of RAM and a much better Intel i3 processor, which can cover the basics without a dramatic performance dip. This is one to buy if you want a Windows laptop for general everyday use, word processing, streaming shows, web browsing, video calls, or answering emails. View Deal

Processor: MediaTek
RAM: 4G
B Storage: 128GB

We're big fans of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet at TechRadar, so I definitely want to share this price cut on the flexible 11-inch laptop. In our very positive Lenovo Chromebook Duet review , we thought the original version offered an excellent balance between tablet portability and Chromebook flexibility. This version has 4GB of RAM for acceptable performance with
light use and a healthy 128GB of storage. Plus, the day-long battery life is
a huge boost for those who are always on the go. View Deal

This time, it's on a much higher-end configuration, with a decent Core i5 chipset and 16GB of RAM - meaning, you've got plenty of power under the hood right now.

It's been $30 cheaper before, but this is still one of the best mid-range laptop deals I've spotted right now at Best Buy. It's a slightly older machine, but it still packs in some powerful components for the price, including a souped-up Intel Core 7 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a reasonably large 512GB SSD. If you want a capable all-around
machine at a fantastic price, you can't really go wrong with this one. View Deal

Using Nvidia's RTX 5050 laptop GPU and Intel's Core i5-13450HX processor, the Lenovo LOQ Essential 15i is a great pick for any gamer on a budget. It won't get you the best gaming performance for sure, but with a 1080p display resolution, and using reasonable graphics settings, there's plenty of room
for high frame rates in popular games, especially when using DLSS 4. View
Deal

Processor: Intel Ultra 7
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB

The Dell 14 Plus is one of our favorite mid-range Windows laptops thanks to its excellent design and competitive specs. This particular configuration is
a bit on the pricey end, but you do get an Ultra 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and
a 2.5K display, meaning it's absolutely stacked with features. If I were looking for a decent everyday laptop for everything from work to demanding productivity applications, then I'd be very tempted by this deal - especially as its price has dropped by another $100! View Deal

Processor: Intel Ultra 7
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB

Can't decide whether you want a tablet or laptop? You don't have to decide with this HP Omnibook X. It's a two-in-2 touchscreen model, meaning you can use it as a traditional laptop or fold the keyboard away to use it like a tablet. Specs-wise, this machine is well featured too, with an Ultra 7
chipset and an Ultra 7 chipset. Overall, an extremely solid and versatile laptop for the money. View Deal

Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 256GB

The MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) is the newest version of Apple's popular laptop and it's now back down to a record-low price at Amazon. You get a great-looking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, while the boost to 16GB of RAM keeps all your programs running smoothly. It's just a shame Apple still insists on only 256GB of storage as standard, which feels a little miserly in 2025. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best laptops you can buy if you need a performance powerhouse for productivity and creative tasks especially after this $200 discount. View Deal

Graphics card: RTX 4050
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB

I normally steer clear of cheap gaming laptops because they often don't provide enough bang for the buck. This Lenovo LOQ at Best Buy, however,
offers good bang for your buck. With an RTX 4050 graphics card, Ryzen 5 chipset, and 16GB of RAM, this machine has enough power under the hood to run most games relatively smoothly at 1080p - if you're willing to tweak a few graphical settings, that is. We saw this laptop go for less during Prime Day last month, so I'm hoping for some further cuts for Black Friday. View Deal

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch is one of the best-looking Windows laptops on the market, and its Snapdragon X Plus processor is perfect for everyday computing, schoolwork, and productivity. It's even better now that it's $200 off at Best Buy for Black Friday. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core 7-240H
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB SSD
GPU: Nvidia RTX 5050

Amazon has knocked 28% off the usual $1,249.99 asking price, making this an excellent entry-level laptop with a stunning design and best-in-class build quality. For just under $900 you're getting a gorgeously-built gaming laptop that won't break the bank, yet offers enough power to be able to play modern games at medium to high settings. It's not often we can recommend an
Alienware device as a great budget pick, but this is one of those times. View Deal

BBest Buy has Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air M4 on sale for $1,099, thanks to Best Buy's $100 discount. It's for the baseline configuration with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD, but higher-spec alternatives are also discounted if you feel the standard storage option isn't enough. View Deal

Display - 15 inches
Processor - Apple M3
RAM - 16G

Here's a $200 discount on Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air M3 with 512GB of storage. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design, and speaker array, although we thought the jump in size compromised one of the MacBook Air's key selling points its portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive laptop that was awarded a full five stars. View Deal

While the specs don't look to impressive on paper, thanks to ChromeOS being so efficient, you'll still get a solid experience from this laptop for day-to-day tasks - certainly better than any Windows 11 laptop with the same specs. The 128GB SSD is very generous for a Chromebook
as well. View Deal

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7520U
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 512GB SSD

This is an ideal laptop for people looking to buy a new machine since Windows 10 stopped getting support on October 14. The specs aren't amazing, but they are more than enough to run Windows 11 smoothly, as long as you don't try opening up too many apps at once. For day-to-day use, like web browsing and sending emails, it'll do the job nicely. View Deal

Processor - Intel Core 3 N355
RAM - 8G

If you're after a super-cheap Windows 11 laptop, this is an excellent pick. While not the most powerful laptop out there, it should run Windows 11 and
its apps without an issue, and gives you a much more flexible operating
system for the same price as many Chromebooks. View Deal

For 350, you really can't go wrong here if you want a decent Windows 11 machine for the money. As an everyday machine, this is a fine choice. View Deal

B Storage - 512GB

This brilliant laptop is less than 400, yet is able to last an astounding 28 hours on a single charge thanks to its power-efficient Snapdragon CPU. You also get access to all the latest AI tools, while 16GB of RAM and a big 512GB SSD are frankly amazing specs for a laptop at this price. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core 5
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB

Even though it's a slightly older laptop, there's a terrific combination of specs for the price in this Asus Vivobook 14, including an Intel Core 5 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a decent-sized 512GB SSD. These can make work and everyday tasks a breeze. You also get the benefit of
a battery life of up to 12 hours, as well as a slim 14-inch display that
makes this ideal for portability. View Deal

B Storage: 256GB

This is a good price for a powerful configuration of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. It comes with a 15.6-inch HD display and one of the latest Snapdragon X Plus processors that boasts strong all-around performance and an excellent battery life of over 24 hours. We called these out as the main positives in our Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge review , along with the sleek and thin overall design. An AMOLED display and more storage would have been nice, but this is still a solid mid-range laptop if you need speed, performance, and responsiveness for coding, multitasking, and creative tasks. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB

I highly rate this Asus Vivobook S16 OLED when it comes to value for money
for a premium laptop. For 649, you get a powerful machine with a modern Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. Plus, there's also a crisp and bright OLED display something you usually only see on much higher-end machines. These specs are great for all-around use, multitasking and some more demanding work, as well as watching your favourite shows and movies at the end of the day. View Deal

Nvidia's RTX 5050 is the driving force of the Lenovo LOQ Essential 15i, with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM to ensure gaming at 1080p is great, which is further enhanced using DLSS 4 super resolution or Multi Frame Generation. At 679.01, it is simply a steal this Black Friday. View Deal

After a good gaming laptop Black Friday deal that won't cost the Earth but will allow you to play the likes of Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite ? Then, this deal is well worth checking out, especially at this price. With DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation support you'll be pleasantly surprised with this machine's performance. View Deal

Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16G

We've seen this price on the latest MacBook Air, but this is technically a record-low price on this popular machine. What can I say about the MacBook Air? Well, it's the gold standard premium laptop for a reason. You get a stunningly lightweight design, plenty of power, and unbeatable battery life. It's quite simply the full package and you can't go wrong if this machine is in budget. My only complaint? The utterly miserly 256GB of storage, which is how Apple purposely hobbles its entry-level configurations. View Deal

Processor: Intel Ultra 5
RAM: 16G

The Dell XPS 13 is the perfect choice if you want a stylish Windows 11
machine that's both lightweight and plenty powerful. This is a great price on the latest Intel-based model, which we rate highly thanks to its surprisingly good battery life and performance. As always though, the main selling point for the XPS 13 is its stunning premium design and portability. View Deal

Processor: Snapdragon X Plus
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB

Microsoft makes some of the most nicely designed laptops on the market - laptops that are definitely not inspired by MacBooks (wink). Right now, one
of Amazon's best laptop deals is on this high-end Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Plus chipset. That means plenty of power under the hood and
heaps of battery life, but the real selling point here is the machine's
lovely stylish design, build quality, and display. View Deal

Processor: Intel Core i7

A superb deal from Laptops Direct for Black Friday, this Medion Erazer is one of the cheapest machines I've seen yet with an RTX 5060 graphics card. A 150 price cut at the retailer is a superb deal and well worth considering if you're looking to play games smoothly at 1080p resolution for a few years
down the line. View Deal (Image credit: Future)

Welcome to our live blog, where we'll be highlighting the very best Black Friday laptop deals as they pop up across the internet throughout today, and into the weekend and even on Cyber Monday!

Finding the best Black Friday laptop deal is particularly important in 2025, as Microsoft has ceased supporting Windows 10 with security updates in October, so a lot of people with older Windows 10 laptops will be looking to upgrade, and that's where this page comes in.

Black Friday proper has officially arrived in the UK and the US, so if you're after more deals check out our main Black Friday UK hub , our Amazon UK Black Friday deals , our Currys UK Black Friday deals , and a selection of the best Black Friday deals from Argos .

I've been on Amazon UK and have found the following deals that I really like:

For just over 100, this is a great budget laptop for kids and students, or
for anyone who just wants a cheap laptop as a second device for browsing the web. It's a Chromebook, so don't expect MacBook-killing performance, but do expect a snappy and smooth experience for basic tasks such as web browsing, writing emails and creating documents in Google Docs. You'll be hard-pushed
to find a better laptop at this price on Black Friday. View Deal

I love the MacBook Air, so it's great to see the latest model with the M4
chip getting a big 150 discount on Black Friday from Amazon. It's easily one of the best laptops you can buy right now, and this model comes with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. Sure, Apple is likely to release an M5 model of the MacBook Air at some point in the near future, but from my time testing
the MacBook Pro with M5 , there's not a huge jump in performance compared to the M4, so at this new, lower, price, I wouldn't hold off on this excellent laptop. View Deal (Image credit: Future)

If you're looking for something more high-end, this is a brilliant deal in
the UK that should not be missed: Microsoft's excellent Surface Laptop now 1,099 (down from 1,649) at Amazon .

This is a MacBook Air-killing deal for many reasons. It features the
powewrful Snapdragon X Elite chip, which crushes day-to-day tasks while being efficient enough to ensure day-long battery life, plus 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The 33% price cut is very tempting - however we did see it go lower in Amazon's recent Prime Day sales. (Image credit: Acer)

After a good gaming laptop Black Friday deal that won't cost the Earth but will allow you to play the likes of Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite? Then, this deal is well worth checking out:

This is pretty great specs for under 900. These days finding a gaming laptop that's worth buying for less than 1,000 is increasingly difficult due to rising component prices, which means Black Friday deals are more important than ever. View Deal

The Acer Nitro V15 deal above gets you an RTX 5060, which is part of Nvidia's latest generation of gaming GPUs, and that means you get access to advanced features such as DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation which can work wonders and allow budget gaming laptops like this really punch above their weight.
