The AirPods Pro 2 are one of the best noise-cancellation headphones for Apple users.

AirPods Pro 2 can also enjoy the new Personalized Spatial Audio feature, which creates a unique profile based on the size and shape of your ears and head. What does this do? It ensures a more customized sound experience, a welcome perk for audiophiles.

In our MacBook Air with M1 review, we praise the notebook’s breathtaking performance and slim, unibody design. It endured 14 hours and 41 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test of continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. After thorough testing, the MacBook Air M1 garnered a 4.5 out of 5-star rating from us, backed by our Editor’s Choice award.

The 2022 iPad has only been available for a few weeks, so it’s great to see any discount on it, let alone $50 savings on Apple’s most affordable iPad. In fact, the new $449 price was one of our few complaints about the refreshed tablet, so seeing this deal bringing it down to $399 at B&H (opens in new tab) is music to our ears.

The new iPad introduces the A14 Bionic chip, improving performance and power efficiency over the iPad 9. Both the front and back cameras are upgraded for improved video calling and up to 4K video capture from the rear camera. The iPad 2022 also joins the rest of the iPad family in moving to a USB-C charging port. This is just one of the great Apple Black Friday deals so stick with us to make sure you don’t miss any of them.

Surface Laptop 4 drops back to all-time low under $900!

Usually, when a new laptop is released we see discounts on the old model and tell you what tradeoffs you are making by choosing to save some money over getting the latest, but that’s not really the case with the Surface Laptop 4. We are still seeing great discounts, this well-specced configuration with an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD typically goes for $1,199, but right now you can get it for $899 at Best Buy (opens in new tab).

That matches the all-time low price and the best part is that in a number of ways the Surface Laptop 4 is better than the Surface Laptop 5 that replaces it. That includes superior performance benchmarking scores and dramatically better battery life at 12 hours versus only 9 hours. If you have been eying the Surface Laptop 4, but were waiting to see what the Laptop 5 offered, save your money and pick up this discounted Surface Laptop 4 from Best Buy (opens in new tab).

This Windows 11 laptop crashed to just $99!

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1i is definitely not the laptop that is going to launch your career as a content creator, the Intel Celeron N4020 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage are specs that you expect to see on a lower-end Chromebook, but at $99 from Best Buy right now it is an outstanding deal for a secondary laptop or as a first laptop for a younger user that still has the full power of Windows 11 versus Chrome OS. 

The 14-inch display features a 1366 x 768 resolution, which again isn’t going to blow you away, but is sufficient for watching streaming content on Netflix, HBO Max or YouTube. You can also rest assured that Lenovo does a solid job with durability, even on its budget laptops, so the IdeaPad 1i will hold up to being tossed in a bag or around the house. While we haven’t reviewed the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i, based on the 4.4 out of 5 stars on 173 reviews on Best Buy most buyers are pleased with their purchase and currently marked down from $249 to just $99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) it is one of the best budget laptop deals we’ve seen for Black Friday.

Get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 for $99!

No, your eyes don’t deceive you. As we get closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 for $99 from Samsung with an eligible trade in. That means, you’re saving a whopping $600 on Samsung’s excellent 11-inch tablet. 

In our review, we praised the tablet’s bright, vivid display as well as its solid performance and excellent cameras. We were also impressed by its nearly 13 hours of battery life. Plus, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered slate with its 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage also comes bundled with Samsung’s highly versatile S-Pen.

But while the Tab S8’s performance is good, it’s nowhere near the iPad 2022 or even the 2021 model. 

Acer Nitro 5 with RTX 3060 is only $800!

Budget vs. specs –– is the frustration conundrum that many a budget-saavy tech consumer has to face. Not so much with this deal on the Acer Nitro 5. For a limited time, you can get the Acer Nitro 5 for just $798 at Walmart, which is a steal for many a gamer. The Nitro 5 often finds itself on our best cheap gaming laptop page as it serves up a solid amount of performance without going too hard on your wallet.  

The model in this deal features an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM. Although we didn’t review this iteration of the laptop, we’re excited about the graphics chip as it signals that you can play most AAA titles on at least medium settings on the 15.6-inch system. In our review, we loved the bright, 1920 x 1080, 15.6-inch display with 144Hz refresh rate, although the color was fairly lackluster.

Our only concern lies with the battery life, which only lasted 5 hours and 33 minutes. However, when you consider most gaming laptops, that’s not too shabby.

If you are feeling creative, need to take some handwritten notes, or sign a document you have stylus that is conveniently stored in the laptop so you won’t lose it. Dolby Atmos support gives the audio experience a boost.

If you like the elegant styling and reliable durability of a ThinkPad and don’t want to spend upwards of $2,000 this is solid value at $1,499 from Lenovo (opens in new tab).

The 2022 MacBook Air, packed with Apple’s custom M2 chip, brings new colors, a new design, and performance enhancements to the brand’s highly praised laptop. Boasting power, portability, and endurance, the MacBook Air M2 is one of the best laptops money can buy. 

In our MacBook Air M2 review, we praised its elegant redesign, good performance, and bright, colorful screen. Its battery lasted a whopping 14 hours and 6 minutes in our Laptop Mag Battery test, which is impressive. 10 hours is our normal standard for solid battery life, so the Air goes above and beyond. We gave the MacBook Air M2 an overall rating of  4.5 out of 5-stars and our Editor’s Choice Award.

The base model in this deal packs a 13.6-inch (2560 x 1664) Liquid Retina display, an M2 8-core processor, an 8-Core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. And it’s $150 off at Amazon (opens in new tab), which matches the lowest price we’ve seen on the new Air.

Weighing just 1.1 pounds and coming in at a slim 0.3 inches the Duet 3 is easy to tote with you or carry around the house for watching videos, browsing the web, or using Android apps.

When a gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 and RTX 30 series GPU drops from $1,079 to $699, that’s a Black Friday deal worth talking about.

The Asus TUF Gaming A15 is now $380 off, combining the might of an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU with an RTX 3050 Ti GPU to deliver good performance for work and play. Throw in the 8GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD for storage, and you’ve got yourself a great deal. While it may not deliver the graphically intensive performance like on gaming laptops with an RTX 3070, it can still handle many of the latest games — and that’s great considering its discounted price.

Asus TUF Gaming laptops feature the specs gamers need to play plenty of PC games — without breaking the bank. To keep the price down, Asus engineers design the TUF Gaming A15’s chassis out of plastic.

(Image credit: Laptop Mag)

The HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook is not your typical Chrome OS laptop, in our review we called it “the corner office Chromebook” and awarded it 4 out of 5 stars. The 13.5-inch 2K QHD+ touchscreen display absolutely decimates the typical Chromebook competition with superior brightness and color reproduction.

The build quality is superb as well, this HP will feel right at home next to any high-end laptop that slides in next to it at the conference room table.

It boasts an HDMI 2.0 port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, a 3.5mm headphone/mic jack, a microSD slot and a SIM-card tray for optional 5G connectivity. 

Battery life at 9 hours and 14 minutes comes up a little short of our 10-hour expectation for a premium laptop, but our only other complaint was the price, and this deal goes a long way to solving that one. Use coupon code “CHROME20” at checkout on any configuration of the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook at HP and you’ll save 20% off the current price (opens in new tab).

Our reviewer awarded the Alienware X14 R1 4 out of 5 stars and praised its sleek design, great overall and gaming performance, and solid battery life. Their only concerns were the display coming up just shy of the DCI-P3 color gamut average for premium laptops (77.7% vs. 81.6%) and the high starting price, so this deal eliminates one of the two.

One of the thinnest gaming laptops available at just 0.57-inches thick, the X14 R1 still packs some powerful specs—featuring an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, 16GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050Ti GPU, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 144HZ FHD (1920 x 1080) display.

Scoring this sleek gaming laptop for under $1,200 from Dell (opens in new tab) right now is one of the best deals we’ve seen on a premium gaming laptop so far.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 remains an outstanding option for 2-in-1 laptop fans that want something a bit closer to a tablet than a laptop. The best part about this deal is that it answers our typical complaint of not getting a keyboard as the Surface Pro 8 and Type Cover are just $899 at Best Buy (opens in new tab).

The model in this deal features an Intel Core i5-1145G7 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In my Surface Pro 8 review, I was thrilled with the performance, the new webcam, and the updated design that eliminated those infamous bezels from the now larger display. That was enough to earn it a 4 out of 5-star rating and an Editor’s Choice award.

At just over 9 hours the battery life is just ok, but my only other complaint was the price and lack of a bundled keyboard, both of which are solved by this deal.

While we understandably love our laptops, some tablets certainly blur the lines and Apple’s 2022 iPad Pro is certainly one such example. It is one of the best tablets to buy with even faster performance in its pro-grade series this year. It retains the same gorgeous 11-inch (2388 x 1668) Liquid Retina display — now powered by Apple’s M2 processor with enhanced GPU. 

Amazon is slashing $50 off the iPad Pro 11 (opens in new tab), the first discount we’ve seen on the new tablets and there’s a good chance that’s the steepest discount for this model through Black Friday. Much like the iPhone, the iPad enjoys years of software support and combined with the absolutely improbable power of the M2 processor you’ll be enjoying this tablet for years to come.

While it’s not the cheapest Black Friday gaming laptop deal we’ve seen, the ROG Zephyrus G14 for $899 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) is one of the most affordable that we’d recommend if you want to play modern AAA games with decent settings. 

A $500 discount on this already reasonably priced laptop brings it down to a great entry price and Asus makes some of the industry’s best gaming laptops. This model features a 14-inch (1920 x 1080) display with a 144Hz refresh rate and runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU coupled with 16GB of RAM. Rounding out its powerful specs are Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 GPU and a 512GB SSD. That’s plenty of brawn for playing the latest PC games and day-to-day tasks for school or work. 

In our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review, we were impressed by its slim design, stellar performance, and solid audio. We also appreciate its comfortable keyboard and amazing battery life. We also appreciate its comfortable keyboard and amazing battery life. With the powerful specs it boasts under the hood along with the now sub-$900 price tag, this is a tough deal to beat.

Black Friday MacBook deals abound and the MacBook Pro M2 is no exception, with $150 off the base model and $200 off any other MacBook Pro M2 configuration at Best Buy (opens in new tab).

The MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 earned 4.5 out of 5 stars from us on the strength of its outstanding performance, otherworldly battery life (18+ hours!), great webcam, and comfortable keyboard. While it didn’t get the design update that the Air M2 saw this year, that may not bother you as the classic look of the MacBook Pro won’t go out of style soon.

HP Spectre x360 16: $1,999 $1,499 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)

Typically $1,999, this HP Spectre x360 is $500 off right now at Best Buy (opens in new tab). Considering this 16-inch 2-in-1 is packing a 12th Gen Intel Evo Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a UHD+ (3840 x 2400) touchscreen, that is a screaming deal! And unlike some other tablets and 2-in-1s this comes with the stylus included!

HP’s Spectre x360 lineup is a mainstay on our best 2-in-1 laptops with strong performance along with a stylish and durable design and this model is no exception.

In our HP Spectre x360 16 review, we were stunned by that 16-inch UHD+ (3840 x 2400) OLED display, stylish form factor, and ample battery life. That model came with an 11th Gen Intel chip, but the HP Spectre x360 16 in this deal boasts Intel’s latest, powerful processor, meaning it can handle demanding tasks and plenty of multitasking without breaking a sweat.

If you want a laptop to keep in the kitchen for recipes or to watch a show, the HP Chromebook 11 is your huckleberry. We aren’t on the lookout for the race to the bottom deals for Black Friday, but sometimes a dirt cheap Chromebook is the perfect fit and the HP Chromebook 11 fits that bill.

The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 in this early Black Friday deal features a 15.6-inch  (1920 x 1080) AMOLED touch screen, an Intel Core i7-1260P CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD — all for less than $1,000 from Samsung

The Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 earned a fantastic 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editor’s Choice award from us this year. In our review we praised the 2-in-1 laptop for its stunning, portable design and powerful performance. We also adored its bright, color-rich AMOLED display. It continues to blow my mind that a 15.6-inch laptop, let alone a 2-in-1 laptop with a sturdy hinge, can be this thin and light.

You can even save another $200 off if you have an eligible phone, tablet, watch or laptop to trade-in.
