Black Friday is the absolute best time for finding good deals on laptops. (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.
As things currently stand, Black Friday sales are already in full swing at HP, Dell, Lenovo, LG, Microsoft, and Samsung, ushering in discounts as high as $900. While tech retailers like Amazon and Best Buy still haven't kicked off their holiday sales at this point, their prices are quite competitive: I'm seeing year-round lows on the new M4 Apple MacBook Pro, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus between the two of them.
SEE ALSO: Best Buy's Black Friday sale starts this week: Here's a sneak peak at some of its upcoming doorbustersIf nothing's jumping out at you just yet, hold tight. Deals will continue to trickle out in the lead-up to Black Friday and the day of. (Don't buy a laptop with specs that don't fit your needs justbecause it's on sale.) For its part, Best Buy is gearing up to drop a $749 M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and a $430 HP Victus gaming laptop when its Black Friday sale formally starts on Nov. 21.
I also expect the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer to hold out until Black Friday proper. That could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem, if a specific configuration you're eyeing doesn't get a significant markdown elsewhere.
Below, I'm keeping track of the best Black Friday laptop deals that are available now. Bookmark this page and check back often, as I'll be updating the list continuously in the days leading up to the year's biggest shopping holiday.
Best early Black Friday MacBook deal

Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M4).
In our all-new testing, Apple's latest starter MacBook Pro lasted almost 17 hours on a single charge and outperformed the M3 version by 27 percent. Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon was impressed by its power efficiency, its stellar speakers, and its upgraded 12MP webcam, rating it a 4.2/5, but said that "at a starting price of $1,599, it’s an investment that’s not for the faint of heart." (On the plus side, it comes with 16GB of RAM.)
Amazon has done a good job of remedying that ahead of Black Friday: The base configuration with 512GB of storage is on sale there for $1,399, which is a 13% savings and its lowest price since launch.

Why we like it
Read 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 laptop for most people, barring any 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, but Amazon and the Microsoft Store both have it listed for $1,699.99, or 15% off. That's its biggest discount to date.

Why we like it
Lenovo's specced-out 16-incher features a brawny 14th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, a premium Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, and a bright 240Hz display. We haven't tried it ourselves, but the experts over at our sister site PCMag gave it a 4/5 "Excellent" rating and their Editor's Choice distinction. It delivers "punchy gaming performance and premium features in a reasonably slim chassis," they wrote, and "stands out as a well-rounded, high-end gaming laptop."
Gamers in need of a future-proofed upgrade can snag it for $560 off lead-up to Black Friday, which pushes it well under the $2,000 mark — a pretty solid value.
