Amazon’s Black Friday Week is here, and the deals will be rolling out through Cyber Monday, making this a great time to pick up a new laptop. Heck, you can even do it while you’re chowing down on turkey and stuffing.

Whether you’re looking for a gaming laptop that can easily handle the latest shooters or a reliable laptop for day-to-day use, Amazon’s got lots of options. But the best part about shopping on Amazon is the convenience it offers. Free Prime shipping quickly gets your laptop straight to your front door, and easy returns take the stress out of online shopping, which can be a temperamental beast at times.

I’ve been overseeing PCWorld’s laptop reviews for years now, assisting a team of reviewers who carefully evaluate hundreds and hundreds of laptops of all shapes and sizes (price points, too!). In addition to this effort, I also maintain our laptop deals roundup on a daily basis and our best laptops roundup on a weekly basis. In other words, I’m well attuned to what’s going on in the laptop world and can parse out good deals from the bad ones.

That’s why I’ve assembled this list of the very best laptop deals from Amazon. Not all Black Friday laptop deals are genuine, which is why we rely on our hands-on testing experience and pricing history (Camel Camel Camel is an excellent tool for this) to filter out the low-quality stuff. If you’re curious about our methodology, go ahead and check out our explainer piece on how we test laptops here at PCWorld.

Sometimes all you need is a respectable, baseline-level machine. Personally, I use a low-powered laptop for writing, watching Netflix, checking email, and so on. I just dig the simplicity. So, if you’re not a gamer and just need a lightweight machine for day-to-day tasks, check out the list below.

• Acer Aspire Go 15, Intel Core 3 Processor N355 processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/128GB UFS, $199.99 ($97.19 off at Amazon)
• Asus Vivobook Go, AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/256GB SSD, $262.99 ($117 off at Amazon)
• Acer Aspire Premium, AMD Ryzen 3 7330U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $379.05 ($20.94 off at Amazon)
• Asus Vivobook 16 (F1605VA‑ES56), Intel Core i5-13420H/16-inch 1920×1200/16GB RAM/512 GB SSD, $429.99 ($70 off at Amazon)

My top pick: The Acer Aspire Premium is the best deal here and here’s why. Nowadays, 16GB of RAM is what you want if you’re aiming for a laptop that’ll last, so the Premium’s got you covered in that area. You also get a spacious 15.6-inch 1080p display, a modern Ryzen 3 7330U processor, and a bigger SSD (512GB, by the way) for under $400. That larger storage keeps multitasking smooth and responsive.

Looking for a little more oomph? A midrange laptop should do you just fine. These laptops typically offer more processing power and storage, and prices tend to fall in the $500 to $800 range.

• Microsoft Surface Laptop (2025), Snapdragon X Plus processor/13-inch 1920×1280 touchscreen display/16GB RAM/256GB SSD, $549.99 ($350 off at Amazon)
• Samsung Galaxy Book4, Intel 7 150U processor/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $589 ($110.99 off at Amazon)
• Asus Vivobook 14, Snapdragon X Plus processor/14-inch 1920×1200 display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $649.99 ($100 off at Amazon)
• Apple 2025 MacBook Air, M4 chip/13.6-inch 2560×1664 display/16GB RAM/256GB SSD, $749 ($249 off at Amazon)

My top pick: The Samsung Galaxy Book4 is the best Samsung laptop deal on Amazon right now. It should keep everyday work flowing without any hiccups or snags thanks to its Intel Core 7 150U processor. The roomy 15.6-inch 1080p display should also give you plenty of room to spread out, whether you’re managing a spreadsheet or juggling documents. Plus, with 16GB on board, you’re getting smoother multitasking performance.

Calling all gamers! There’s no better time to scoop up a blisteringly fast gaming machine. The laptops below are both powerful and reasonably priced, and should be able to blitz through most games.

• HP Victus, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor/RTX 2050 graphics/15.6-inch 1920×1080 display/8GB RAM/512GB SSD, $569 ($41 off at Amazon)
• Alienware 16 Aurora, Intel Core 7 240H Series 2 processor/RTX 5060 graphics/16-inch 2560×1600 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,099.98 ($300.01 off at Amazon)
• Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025), Intel Core i7-14650HX processor/RTX 5060 graphics/16-inch 1920×1080 display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,199.99 ($300 off at Amazon)
• Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor/RTX 5070 Ti graphics/16-inch 2560×1600 display/32GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,899 ($400.99 off at Amazon)

My top pick: The Alienware 16 Aurora strikes the best balance of performance, price, and versatility. It should deliver strong mid-range gaming performance thanks to its combination of a modern Intel Core 7 240H Series 2 CPU and RTX 5060 graphics. It also features Wi-Fi 7 (yay for future-proofing!) and a crisp 16-inch 2560×1600 IPS display, which is perfect for streaming or gaming.

If you’re looking for more premium features like an OLED display or a 2-in-1 form factor, you’ve come to the right spot. Below you’ll find ultra-lightweight machines as well as laptops with high-resolution displays.

• Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1, Snapdragon X Elite processor/13-inch 2880×1920 OLED display/16GB RAM/512GB SSD, $999.99 ($500 off at Amazon)
• Microsoft Surface Laptop (2024), Snapdragon X Elite 12-core processor/13.8-inch 2304×1536 display/16 GB RAM/1 TB SSD, $1,079.99 ($520 off at Amazon)
• Dell 14 Plus, Intel Core Ultra 9 288V processor/14-inch 2560×1600 display/32GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,090.44 ($309.55 off at Amazon)
• Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor/16-inch 2880×1800 AMOLED display/16GB RAM/1TB SSD, $1,299.99 ($400 off at Amazon)

My top pick: The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a versatile, powerful “do-it-all” laptop. With an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage, it should easily handle both productivity and creative work. It also somehow remains fairly lightweight at 3.7 pounds, so it’s more portable than you might expect, and the 2-in-1 design lets you to flip the screen around when you want to use it like a tablet.
