(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 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.\n SEE ALSO:\n \n The best early Black Friday deals at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart\n \n \n \nAs a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks 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 live across the web.

It may not look all that different from its older M-series predecessors — there is a 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.More MacBook dealsApple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M2, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $749 $999 (save $250) Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $1,044 $1,299 (save $255) Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $1,399 $1,599 (save $200) Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M3 Pro, 18GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $1,699 $1,899 (save $200) Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M4 Pro, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $1,749 $1,999 (save $250) Apple MacBook Pro, 16-inch (M4 Pro, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $2,199 $2,499 (save $300) Amazon MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M4 Max, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $2,799 $3,199 (save $400) Best Windows laptop deal\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Opens in a new window\n \n \n \n \n Credit: Microsoft\n \n \n \n \n Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, 13-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) ✨\n \n \n \n $1,499.99\n at Amazon\n \n $1,999.99\n Save $500.00\n \n \n \n Get Deal\n \n \n\nWhy we like itRead 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 had 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.More Windows laptop dealsLenovo Ideapad 1i (Intel Core i3-1215U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $249.99 $499.99 (save $250)Asus Vivobook Go 15 (AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $309.99 $389.99 (save $80) HP Laptop 15-fd0005dx (Intel Core i5-1235U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $349.99 $629.99 (save $280); extra $20 off for paid My Best Buy members HP Laptop 17t-cn300 (Intel Core i5-1334U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $329.99 $849.99 (save $520)✨Acer Aspire 3 (AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $399.99 $509.99 (save $110)Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $419.99 $799.99 (save $380)✨HP Pavilion Laptop 16z-ag000 (AMD Ryzen 5 8540U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $429.99 $799.99 (save $370) Dell Inspiron 15 3535 (AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $449.99 $699.99 (save $250)Samsung Galaxy Book4 (Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $529.99 $899.99 (save $370) Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $599.99 $869.99 (save $270)HP Pavilion Plus 14-ew0047nr (Intel Core i5-1335U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $629.99 $999.99 (save $370)Dell Inspiron 14 5440 (Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $699.99 $999.99 (save $300)Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 (Intel Core i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $699.99 $999.99 (save $300) HP OmniBook X 14-fe0013dx (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 1TB SDD) — $799.99 $1,199.99 (save $400) Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $799.99 $1,299.99 (save $500) Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, 14-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $799.99 $1,349.99 (save $540)LG gram 15 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $846.99 $1,499.99 (save $653) Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 (AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $849.99 $1,219.99 (save $370) Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $999.99 $1,299.99 (save $300) HP OmniBook Ultra 14t-fh000 (AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $999.99 $1,349.99 (save $350)Dell XPS 13 9350 (Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $999.99 $1,399.99 (save $400) LG gram 17 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $999.99 $1,599.99 (save $600)LG gram Style 16 (Intel Core i7-1360P, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,099.99 $1,999.99 (save $900)Asus Zenbook Duo (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,179.99 $1,499.99 (save $320) LG gram Pro 16 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,299.99 $1,999.99 (save $700)Dell XPS 14 9440 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,659.99 $2,059.99 (save $400)Dell XPS 16 9640 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $2,159.99 $2,659.99 (save $500) 2-in-1 laptopsHP Pavilion x360 14t-ek1000 (Intel Core i3-1315U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $399.99 $709.99 (save $310)Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7445 (AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $449.99 $729.99 (save $280); extra $20 off for paid My Best Buy members Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $499.99 $899.99 (save $400) HP Envy x360 14-es1023dx (Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $579.99 $949.99 (save $370) Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 7640 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SDD) — $699.99 $1,149.99 (save $450) Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 (Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $769.99 $1,069.99 (save $300)LG gram 14 2in1 (Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $799.99 $1,299.99 (save $500) HP Spectre x360 14t-eu000 (Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $799.99 $1,449.99 (save $650) ✨HP Envy 2-in-1 (Intel Core i7 155U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $899.99 $1,349.99 (save $450)✨Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) + Keyboard Bundle — $999.99 $1,349.99 (save $350) Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,249.99 $1,899.99 (save $650) Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,279.99 $1,579.99 (save $300) Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,299.99 $1,699.99 (save $400) Best gaming laptop deal\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Opens in a new window\n \n \n \n \n Credit: Alienware\n \n \n \n \n Alienware m16 R2 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) ✨\n \n \n \n $1,299.99\n at Best Buy\n \n $1,899.99\n Save $600.00\n \n \n \n Get Deal\n \n \n\nWhy we like itRead 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.

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 terabyte 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.More gaming laptop dealsHP Victus 15-fb2063dx (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, AMD Radeon RX 6550M, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $429.99 $799.99 (save $370) Asus TUF Gaming A15 (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $649.99 $799.99 (save $150) Asus TUF Gaming A16 (AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, AMD Radeon RX 7700S, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $679.99 $1,099.99 (save $420)✨Lenovo LOQ (AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $699.99 $999.99 (save $300) Acer Nitro V 15 (Intel Core i7-13620H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $749.99 $999.99 (save $250) Asus ROG Strix G17 (AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $799.99 $1,199.99 (save $400) HP Omen 16-wd0073dx (Intel Core i7-13620H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $949.99 $1,299.99 (save $350) Asus TUF Gaming F15 (Intel Core i7-13620H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $999.99 $1,399.99 (save $400)✨Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (Intel Core i9-14900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $999.99 $1,449.99 (save $450) MSI Katana 15 (Intel Core i7-13620H, Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,099.99 $1,399.99 (save $300) HP Omen Transcend 16t-u100 (Intel Core i7-14700HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $1,099.99 $1,599.99 (save $500)Lenovo Slim 5 Gen 9 (AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $1,099.99 $1,519.99 (save $420)Dell G16 7630 (Intel Core i9-13900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,299.99 $1,699.99 (save $400) Asus ROG Strix G16 (Intel Core i9-14900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,614.99 $1,899.99 (save $285) Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 (Intel Core i7-14700HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,489.99 $2,099.99 (save $610) Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 (Intel Core i9-14900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $1,749.99 $2,359.99 (save $610) Razer Blade 16 (Intel Core i9-14900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $2,999.99 $3,599.99 (save $600) + Razer Skin, 1-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership, Assassin's Creed Shadows, 6-month Ubisoft+ Classics subscription, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Digital Premium Edition) for free Best Chromebook deal\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Opens in a new window\n \n \n \n \n Credit: Samsung\n \n \n \n \n Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus (Intel Core 3 100U, 8GB RAM, 256GB UFS)\n \n \n \n $599.99\n at Best Buy\n \n $699.99\n Save $100.00\n \n \n \n Get Deal\n \n \n\nWhy we like itAnnounced in October, this 15.6-inch Samsung Galaxy machine is the thinnest, lightest Chromebook Plus model on the market and the only one with an AMOLED display.
