Black Friday Deals on Laptops

When it comes to laptops, we generally recommend finding a machine that suits your needs without exceeding your budget. That’s why we’ve put together our top recommendations for the best laptops for programming and the best laptops for hacking.

There’s no doubt that many of these laptops will be reduced during Black Friday and the early offers have already started rolling in.

As expected, Black Friday has already started with heavy discounts on gaming laptops. To help you find the best deals, we did the work for you and have listed some of the best laptop Black Friday deals in 2024.

To get things started, there’s an impressive sale on the Microsoft Surface range of laptops, with up to 31% off the range.

We were particularly impressed with the Surface Pro 9 with its 12th Gen i7, 32GB RAM, and 1TB Storage. This is currently available for less than $1800 with a 31% discount.

If you're in the market for a laptop that can double up for coding and gaming, we'd highly recommend checking out the ultra-thin Razer Blade 14, which is currently available with a massive 43% discount! 

With an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 14" QHD screen, and 16GB DDR5 RAM, not to mention a CNC Aluminum case and Chroma RGB keyboard, it's an incredible machine.

But if you prefer something with MacOS, the Apple MacBook Air Laptop pictured below is also on sale for 15% off. At less than $850, you get an M1 Chip, 13" Retina Display, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD Storage.

Maybe you're after the style of a Macbook but prefer to stay in the Windows ecosystem? In that case, you should definitely check out the Samsung 16” Galaxy Book3 Pro, as it's currently on offer with a 30% discount.

With an impressive 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1360P, 16GB RAM, and a 3K AMOLED Screen, it's a stunning place to spend your time coding! We also really like the inclusion of a fingerprint reader and a FHD Webcam.

Besides the impressive 12+ hours of battery life, there's a 2560 x 1600 IPS Display, 12th Gen i7 Processor, 32GB RAM, and 2TB NVMe SSD. It's no wonder it's one of our top laptops for programmers, and also my current machine! 

Another great deal is this HP Laptop, which falls to nearly $550 during the early Black Friday sale. Despite the small price, you get an 11th Generation Intel Core i5 processor and 256 GB SSD

Black Friday Deals on Desktops

If you prefer desktops over laptops, don’t worry — there are a ton of desktop deals available too!

Desktops are incredibly versatile and can be far more powerful than laptops while also being more affordable (at least sometimes). There are lots of prebuilt towers on Amazon, many of which are also on sale during Black Friday.

Desktops are fantastic investments as you can upgrade and replace parts as they age. You can pick the setup you need and use your machine for work and for play, as desktops are often more capable than laptops for gaming.

Below, we’ve curated a list of some of the best Black Friday Deals on desktops this year.

This year, we're already seeing a 9% discount on the HP Omen i7 Gaming Desktop.

With an Intel Core i7-13700KF, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Graphics, this powerful gaming rig falls from $2,499.99 during the early Black Friday sale. Check out the current price for today's discount.

There's a similarly impressive discount on this Skytech Archangel Gaming PC, with a huge 36% off and a price tag of less than $800.

That's tremendous value when you factor in the Intel Core-i5 10400F 2.9GHz, GTX 1660, 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and RGB fans (which are non-negotiable for any good gaming PC!).

And if you're interested in something a little different, check out the Dell Inspiron 7720 All-in-One Desktop, which is currently on sale with a sizable 27% discount.

Think of this as the Dell version of an iMac, with a 27-inch FHD touchscreen display, Intel Core i7-1355U, 32GB RAM, and decent storage with 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD. You also get discrete graphics with an NVIDIA GeForce MX550 GDDR6 and Dell servicing.

With speeds approaching 1050MB/s, this is a fantastic deal on a particularly robust SSD.

Perhaps you need more storage space, and you're happy with an HDD over an SSD?
