As one of PCMag’s lead reviewers testing laptops and other tech products, I’ve personally tested hundreds of systems, from gaming laptops to light, affordable Chromebooks. I also know how tough it is to find a system that fits both your needs and your budget.
The good news is that Black Friday sales present tons of opportunities to snag a top-notch laptop at a steep discount. I’ve been picking through the deals, weeding out the misleading discount numbers, skipping the mediocre machines, and sifting through the deepest discounts to find helpful features, better performance, and the best values you’ll find all year. Below, I’ve found a chic 2-in-1 laptop for a steal, one of our picks for the best Chromebook on sale, and a giant gaming laptop with a smaller price.

One Terrific 2-in-1 Laptop Deal
LG gram 14 2-in-1
A high-end ultraportable 2-in-1 for way less
$799.99
at Amazon
$1,299.99
Save $500.00
Shockingly light and flexible, too, the LG gram 14 2-in-1 improves on one of the most portable laptops you can buy, turning the featherweight laptop into a convertible 2-in-1. When I first saw the latest LG gram 14 earlier this year, I was amazed at how LG has continued to improve on the slimness and portability of this perennial favorite. The ultralight magnesium alloy is surprisingly strong and robust, and the 2.75-pound carry weight can be carried in hand or in a bag all day. The touch screen and stylus also make it a smart pick for notetakers and doodlers. And the best part? Amazon is selling this airy ultraportable for $800, a full 38% off the regular price.
Can’t-Miss Chromebook Deal
A longtime favorite of ours, the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 isn’t just an Editors’ Choice award-winning Chromebook or the best Chromebook of the year in 2023. It’s one of the best values around, even at the regular price, thanks to features like a MIL-SPEC 810 durable construction and a full port selection. And, thanks to Google’s Chromebook Plus initiative, this budget-friendly ChromeOS machine has boosted processor power, a higher resolution display and camera, and a ton of additional features that regular Chromebooks lack. Amazon’s Black Friday sale ramps up the savings, selling the CX34 for 27% off, making this one of the best holiday deals we’ve seen. A stocking stuffer laptop if there ever was one.

More Gaming Power, Lower Price
Gaming power rarely comes cheap, but the Alienware M18 R2 is one of the beefiest gaming laptops on the market, with blistering Intel Core i9 processing and fiery frame rates from an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. And with a massive 18-inch QHD+ 165Hz 3ms panel, you’ll be able to see more and react faster, no matter what your game. This Black Friday, the price is slashed, saving you $500 on this gaming superstar.
