Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great opportunities for consumers to pick up a powerful laptop at a good price. This is partially because manufacturers and retailers know it’s a good time to offload their slightly older models in preparation for continued new releases. For most buyers, that’s not a problem — the average computer user will not notice many or any differences between last year’s model and this year’s refresh. This year, we’re seeing Black Friday deals on both older and newer models, including those from Apple, Lenovo and Dell.

Apple 2024 MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop with M3 chip 23% OFF
As one of the slimmest and lightest MacBooks to date, there are few arguments against this one if you’re a fan of Apple products. It features the latest, most powerful M3 chip, an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. It’s also compatible with Apple Intelligence and has up to 18 hours of battery life, among other features.
Apple 2022 MacBook Air Laptop with M2 chip 25% OFF
While it’s powered by the M2 chip rather than the latest M3 chip, the 2022 MacBook Air is still an excellent laptop. The Liquid Retina display ensures you can see every detail on the 13.6-inch screen, and the battery lasts 18 hours. You can get 16 gigabytes of RAM and 256GB of storage in this fantastic, lightweight laptop (which weighs just 2.7 pounds).
Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook
This lightweight laptop is easy to slip into your bag to take on the go. It has a powerful Intel Celeron N4500 processor that makes things run smoothly and quickly. It also comes with enhanced security features, up to 10 hours of battery life and 8GB of memory.
Dell Inspiron 15 3000 3520 Business Laptop Computer 22% OFF
The Inspiron 15 3000 is affordable and has few frustrating slowdowns. It doesn’t have the capacity for huge amounts of multitasking or using heavily resource-intensive software, but for everyday use at school or work, it’s a serious bargain.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 (Renewed) 64% OFF
The Core i7-8650U on this laptop is quite capable of doing anything you need it to do regularly (outside of playing AAA titles). The biggest draw for this one is the detachable design, which allows you to use it either as a tablet or a laptop.
