A computer is an expensive, once-in-a-blue-moon purchase, which is why the right Black Friday deal can make a big difference. Right now you can save hundreds of dollars on a new laptop or desktop from virtually any manufacturer, whether you’re interested in an entry-level Chromebook for surfing the web and streaming or a top-of-the-line gaming PC you can take with you anywhere. We’ve been surprised at the sheer volume of computers that are on sale right now, which is why we’ve surfaced the best Black Friday computer deals for your convenience.

We’ve also rounded up the best discounts on accessories like webcams, monitors, keyboards, mice, and more. If you’re satisfied with your machine, upgrading or adding an accessory can make your life easier, especially if you’re moving from wired to wireless peripherals, or an HD to 4K webcam. But remember, these deals can be depleted as quickly as system resources in an underpowered set-up, so act fast if you see a deal you like.

The best MacBook deals

The M1 MacBook Air is the best general-purpose laptop you can get for under $1,000, and this Black Friday deal makes it even easier to get your first Mac or replace an aging one. The 13-inch laptop runs on Apple’s M1 chip, which is powerful enough to handle 4K video editing but energy efficient enough to help the machine last up to 17 hours per charge depending on your workload. There’s no Windows-based machine that can touch the M1 MacBook Air’s performance at this price, and this laptop’s incredibly svelte design is icing on the cake.

Razer’s Blade 14 is a full gaming PC that’s portable enough to stash in a backpack without feeling like you’re carrying bricks, and its $800 Black Friday discount is among the best we’ve seen across any category. The Blade 14 has a 14-inch 165Hz QHD display, speedy Ryzen 9 processor, and a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card. When you’re home, you can plug it into a monitor or TV with a single HDMI cable and have the desktop gaming experience, too.
