Hey guys,

As Black Friday 2025 approaches, major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and others have decided not to wait for the day itself. Many of the strongest laptop deals are already live, and more are dropping throughout the week. I have put together this Mega Thread to highlight the best and most worthwhile laptop deals available right now.

To keep things organized, I have categorized the deals into Gaming, High Performance, Productivity Laptops and General Purpose Laptops, making it easier for everyone to find exactly what they need. As always, the focus is on real value and genuine price to performance deals rather than filler or hype offers.

I will be updating this list continuously throughout the week leading up to Black Friday. New deals will be added as they appear, and any expired or unavailable deals will be crossed out. Check back often so you do not miss anything as we are expecting more deals to come.

If you need help choosing a laptop or want advice on a specific deal, feel free to leave a comment or message me directly. I will be available to help however I can.

Happy deal hunting, and good luck finding the perfect system.

I am planning to buy a new laptop this Black Friday deals as I think this is the best time to buy a laptop before the prices stay insanely high due to tariffs or what ever. Anyways, my old Dell XPS is on its last leg so wanted to get it updated as I use it a lot for work. I have a budget of $1000-$1500 and looking for a laptop that can last at least 5 years. I am not really looking for a Macbook as I use a lot of certain business software that does well on Windows. And also I am used to my hot keys and setup of my windows laptop.

Now I need the laptop to be able to multi-task as I usually dock it with an another monitor and do a dual screen setup. So I probably need good multi-tasking and ram. I also don’t need to game, and don’t do much graphic intensive work besides a little photo shopping and web development. So definitely don’t need a dedicated graphics card. I also need the battery life to be at least all day, around 6 hours would be nice. Because sometimes I like to work outside the office and I don’t want to always worry about if I need to charge the laptop.

I also like to keep the laptop at around 14-15” as I said I like to travel often and don’t want to carry around anything larger than that. I don’t mind if it has touch and if its a 2-in-1 or not, either is find with me.

So with that in mind, what are the best Black Friday laptop deals this year that are good? Where should I shop at? Best Buy, Micro center, Amazon, Walmart?

Thanks for the help!
