Best Black Friday Amazon laptop deals

Apple MacBook Air
2020’s MacBook Air helped usher in a new era for Apple, and the rest of the world has taken note. Equipped with the speedy Apple-made M1 system on a chip, this laptop is still incredibly powerful, even if it’s no longer the new Mac on the block. If there’s a new Mac for bargain hunters to get, it’s this one.

Dell XPS 13
While the brand new OLED-equipped XPS 13 might not see any doorbuster sales, the less niche and more affordable version of the Dell XPS 13 is sure to see some deep discounts. Not only is it among the most popular Dell laptops out there, but it’s the first Windows portable that comes to mind as an alternative to the MacBook Pro. This laptop can handle just about anything you can throw at it (as long as you’re not doing heavy gaming) and consistently ranks as one of the best laptops year in and year out thanks to its svelte design, excellent performance, and full feature set.

Acer Nitro 5
Who said a gaming laptop had to break the bank? The Acer Nitro 5 gives you the kind of performance you need to play Resident Evil Village or Cyberpunk 2077 while costing just a little over $1,000. And, if you’re ok picking up last year’s model, which Amazon still has in stock, you don’t even have to break that $1,000 barrier. Keep in mind that it’s the less expensive gaming portables that get the best Black Friday deals.

Asus Chromebook Flip C434
Chromebooks are the bread and butter of students everywhere, thanks to their reasonable prices and long battery life. The Asus Chromebook Flip C434 is a perfect example. It does everything a Chromebook should, lasts a full day on a single charge, and is already discounted to below $500. You can expect it, along with all the other 2-in-1 Chromebooks from Asus, to get an even deeper sale as Black Friday and Cyber Monday get closer.

LG Gram 17
A laptop that’s lightweight, thin, and 17 inches might not make sense but that’s exactly what the LG Gram 17 is. It’s powerful enough to take any of your productivity work, as it comes with an 11th-gen Intel Core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and Intel Evo certification so you know it’s a solid machine. And, while we expect some great sales on it leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the current model is already discounted over $300.

Best Ultrabooks at Amazon
They may be status symbols, but the best Ultrabooks make great portables. That surprising performance hiding inside a slim package costs money though, more than most laptops. Thankfully, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best time to get one. And, if you’re willing to go with a slightly older model, whether it’s the MacBook Air, Dell XPS, or HP Spectre x360, you’ll get all the benefits of having one of these beauties at a better price. Additionally, Amazon is the retailer most likely to keep prior models in stock and discount them for the holiday season.

Best gaming laptops at Amazon
Gaming laptops are another category of portable that can easily break the bank. And, it’s another category where you can save quite a bit if you don’t need the latest graphics card powering that gaming machine. In fact, since the world is experiencing a chip shortage, gamers have probably been hit the hardest. So take advantage of the upcoming sales and consider going back a generation for GPUs and CPUs if you’re on a budget. You can get some great machines from the likes of Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, and MSI.

Best Chromebooks at Amazon
Chromebooks are the current go-to machine for students thanks to a long battery life that almost all ChromeOS portables seem to come with and an easy-to-use operating system. But, it’s mostly because they’re affordable. And, affordably priced laptops typically see more sales than the top-of-the-line options out there. If you’re in the market for one of these laptops, you’re sure to see a number of sales at Amazon. In fact, a number of them, especially older and out-of-date models are already seeing deep discounts.
