Best laptop deals live – The best Black Friday laptops available to buy

The best laptop deals available right now – live and direct

I've been reviewing laptops for more than two decades now, so I know how to tell the best laptops from the not-so-good ones – and I can also spot when a Black Friday discount is value for money and when retailers are simply trying to shift stock of a laptop model that no one's interested in.

As part of our efforts to go all-in on Black Friday sales this year at T3, I'm scouring multiple sites and stores to find the best of the best laptop deals, and writing them up here. Whether you're team Windows, team MacBook, or team Chromebook, you'll find offers to tempt you here.

I'm going to be updating this page on a regular basis as more deals appear, so be be sure to check back often – and with the broad range of offers and price drops happening at every major retailer, this is probably the best time of the year to invest in that new laptop upgrade.
