Best Acer Aspire 5 Black Friday deals

Acer makes all kinds of laptops, from budget options to mid-range marvels and top-of-the-pile flagship machines. If you're looking for a portable laptop for your everyday needs, then the Aspire 5 represents excellent value for money.

Best Acer Nitro 5 Black Friday gaming laptop deals

If you're looking to get into or step up your PC gaming efforts, then the Acer Nitro 5 is a great machine that brings performance without breaking the bank. Specs vary but having a dedicated GPU is a massive step up from integrated graphics and you'll be able to run AAA games (perhaps not quite at top specs) without a problem.

Best Apple MacBook Black Friday deals

MacBooks are highly desirable laptops and sales tend to be rare but Black Friday is perhaps the best opportunity to spot a MacBook sale. The Apple MacBook Air M2 (2022 edition) offers some of the best value on our list of the best MacBooks. With the more recent launch of the M3 series MacBooks, this is still a great time to grab an M2 MacBook Pro at a great price.

Best Acer Swift Edge Black Friday deals

If you want a beautiful 4K OLED screen in a lightweight package, may I introduce you to the Acer Swift Edge. This 16" beauty is a sight to behold and it's no slouch in the performance stakes either with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Ryzen 7 processor.

Best Dell XPS 13 Plus Black Friday deals

A 5-star top-performing Windows machine that we can't get out of our heads here at T3, the Dell XPS 13 Plus is a stunning bit of kit that should make mincemeat of most challenges you throw at it.

Best Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Black Friday deals

A 2-in-1 Chromebook, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 represents superb value for money, especially when it's on sale. At home as both a tablet and super portable Chromebook, it's not going to blow you away for power but for general use it's a brilliant choice.

Best Microsoft Surface Pro 9 Black Friday deals

The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is the latest instalment in the incredibly popular range of tablet/laptop hybrids. A joy to use in either setup, the 13" PixelSense Flow display is a great home for the Windows 11 operating system you'll be used to on larger computers.

Best Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 Pro Black Friday deals

Some 2-in-1 machines use detachable screens, but that often makes them a bit chunky and unwieldy. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 Pro offers a different solution, it can be folded over nearly 360 degrees to turn into a touchscreen tablet. It's a sleek laptop that positions itself as an alternative to MacBooks.

Best Chromebook Black Friday deals

If you're looking for a portable and budget-friendly laptop, you might want to consider a Chromebook. These Chrome OS-powered machines aren't powerhouses but they're very good at booting up quickly, searching the internet and performing basic tasks like word processing and Google Sheets. Students in particular often choose to go for a Chromebook.
