Greatest Black Friday laptop deals 2023: Dell, Lenovo, more

We’re keeping a running list of the greatest Black Friday laptop deals as holiday sales begin to trickle out at various tech retailers.

Unlike video game consoles, headphones, certain LEGO sets, and cheap TVs, laptops aren’t the sort of products you have to worry about selling out early on in the holiday season. Whether you’re after one of the powerful new Apple MacBook Pros or a basic Chromebook for schoolwork, most shoppers can comfortably wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to scoop one up at a serious discount.

That being said, those who want to get their shopping out of the way ahead of schedule (and avoid the post-Thanksgiving chaos) can already peruse a number of early Black Friday laptop deals at major tech retailers: Greatest Buy released an initial wave of doorbusters in late October, and Dell and Lenovo were both hosting Black Friday Sneak Peek sales in early November.

Below, we’re keeping a running list of the early Black Friday laptop deals worth adding to your cart. Check back often, as we’ll be updating our picks regularly in the lead-up to the actual holiday on Friday, Nov. 24.

Early Black Friday laptop deals at Greatest Buy

Why we like it

Google’s new Chromebook Plus line is a series of elevated (but still affordable) ChromeOS laptops with built-in Google apps, Full HD IPS displays, and 1080p+ cameras with AI features. This 14-inch HP Chromebook Plus x360 is a 2-in-1 model that has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, and Greatest Buy’s impressive early Black Friday discount takes it down to just $379. (A 46% discount on a laptop that’s barely a month old is genuinely wild to see.) It’s a compelling choice for anyone hunting for a capable budget laptop.

Why we like it

Sporting a 16:10 display with a 120Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, Dell’s Inspiron 16 Plus is basically the affordable lovechild of a desktop replacement laptop and a gaming PC. (Our sister site PCMag gave it an “Excellent” 4/5 rating and recommended it for users who want a “16-inch laptop with a little more visual oomph than average.”) This particular configuration has a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 H-series CPU, a GeForce RTX 3050 GPU 16GB of memory, and a terabyte of storage. You can get it on sale for $999.99 via Dell’s website during its Black Friday Sneak Peek event, which works out to a 31% savings.

Early Black Friday laptop deals at Lenovo

Why we like it

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 5 is a solid mid-range pick for multitasking that has a 1080p webcam, a nice backlit keyboard, and a 16-inch, 16:10 display (albeit with a very average 60Hz refresh rate). This configuration Lenovo is on sale for $549.99 (or 41% off) during its own Black Friday Sneak Peek event, and is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which are relatively rare specs in the sub-$600 price range.
