Black Friday deals are in full swing and are likely to continue through Cyber Monday. While it's great to see hundreds of laptops on sale, it's difficult to trim down that list to find the best deals. Luckily, our experts have done the dirty work for you.

Whether you need an extremely affordable PC, a flagship built for productivity, or an all-rounder with a 2K display, there are big discounts to take advantage of. I also tossed in a bonus pick for one of my favorite PCs that isn't exactly a laptop.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7
Discounted Flagship
Save 38% ($600)
Microsoft Surface Laptop 7: was $1,599.99 now $999.99 at Walmart

Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7 is a gorgeous device and one of the best thin-and-light laptops on the market. It combines a comfortable typing experience with a beautiful display inside a laptop powered by the efficient and powerful Snapdragon X Elite.

HP OmniBook 5 16
Beautiful All-Rounder
Save 36% ($249.30)
HP OmniBook 5 16: was $699.29 now $449.99 at Amazon

The 2K OLED display is the standout feature of this all-rounder from HP. This OmniBook 5 16 runs on a Snapdragon X Plus processor, making it great for everyday computing, watching content, and light creative work.

Asus Vivobook 16 FHD+ Laptop - Copilot+
Most Affordable
Save 53% ($400)
Asus Vivobook 16 FHD+ Laptop - Copilot+: was $749.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

This ASUS VivoBook 16 deal is ludicrous. The massive discount slashes the price by more than half. This laptop runs on an AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 processor that has a 50 TOPS NPU, allowing it to handle everyday tasks and AI workflows.

Surface Pro 12-inch + Keyboard Bundle
Bonus Pick
Save 28% ($250)
Surface Pro 12-inch + Keyboard Bundle: was $899.99 now $649.99 at Best Buy

One could argue that the Surface Pro 12-inch is not a laptop because its keyboard is detachable. Regardless of what you call it, the Surface Pro 12-inch is a compact and comfortable device that can be used like a tablet or for getting work done after attaching a keyboard.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday guarantees

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday have great deals on laptops, some items end up dropping in price after the shopping events end. Many retailers offer price match guarantees and will reimburse you the difference if the new price appears within a certain date range.

In the case of retailers without a price match guarntee, such as Amazon, you may need to return an item and purchase a new one to get the best deal.

FAQ

Are Black Friday and Cyber Monday a good time to buy a laptop?

Yes, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals discount many of the best Windows laptops. This year, you can save on anything from an extremely affordable Copilot+ PC to a more powerful flagship laptop.

Can you get a good PC for under $600?

Yes. Only a few years ago, PCs that cost less than $600 were subpar. They often had underpowered processors, creaky plastic builds, and lacked features many people have grown accustomed to. That has changed greatly. Now, you can find excellent laptops for under $600, especially if you find a good discount.

Do these laptops run Windows 11?

Yes, all of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday laptop deals are on PCs running Windows 11. With Windows 10 reaching its end of support in October, many are looking to upgrade to a new PC.
