Black Friday is a fantastic time to shop for discounted laptops, but you don’t have to wait until the main event to take advantage of those deals. If you’re looking to get a jump start on your holiday shopping,

Black Friday is the absolute best time for finding good deals on laptops. (I would know: I've tracked them for Mashable since 2019.) And with retailers taking full advantage of the holiday's abnormally late timing this year, running sales that span most of November, steep discounts are expected to be plentiful all month long.

For example, the Dell G15 is $799 @ Dell, which is $300 off the usual $1,099 asking price of this 1080p gaming laptop. That's a great deal on this gaming machine, which is ideal for getting started with PC gaming thanks to its 165Hz 1080p display and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU.
