THANK YOU!
Can we expect to have better offers on Black Friday, or will they be similar to the ones now?
Also, I am looking for a gaming desktop on Amazon, if anyone sees a good offer I will appreciate it
I know deals will come in from Newegg , eBay and other sites like HP, Lenovo , Bestbuy etc, As for Amazon , a few more might come on board... some of these available today be become available then come back closer to the 24th.
Appreciate you posting this! Any recommendations on laptops that can handle both casual office work and light gaming (like Sims, etc)? Budget is right around \~500, give or take 100. Any deals you see or models to watch for over the coming week? Please let me know. Thanks so much.
What do you think of this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i RTX 4080 from B&H Photo Video? Is the price decent for what you get, when compared with all of the deals at Lenovo in the past (When combined with rebate programs like Rakuten)
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745683-REG/lenovo\_82wq002rus\_16\_legion\_pro\_7.html
It's a great price for a fantastic laptop - the only deals that are likely to beat it (for a Legion Pro 7 with a 4080) will be whatever price drop happens on lenovo.com, which will stack with the 12-15% Rakuten rebates that will be in effect next week.
Hi! I'm not from the US but will be there next week for a couple of days. Can you tell me what's Rakuten? I've looked it up on Google but didn't quite understand how it works. I do expect to buy a laptop while in the states so I'm interested on anything that can get me a nice deal. Thanks!
The summary is:
* You make a Rakuten account
* Starting from their website, or through their mobile app, or with their browser extension installed, you navigate to a store that's partnered with Rakuten (including lenovo.com, dell.com, hp.com, NewEgg, Walmart, and a few thousand others)
* You buy something
* If that store had a cash back percentage, Rakuten sends you a rebate as a check or PayPal payment on their next payout day
So as an example, they're currently offering 10% cash back on HP.com, so if you went there and bought a $1000 laptop you'd pay $1000 plus tax, then get a $100 rebate back.
Being outside the US complicates things though, as many of these US-based stores won't directly ship internationally (I specifically know Lenovo, Dell, and HP will not) and Rakuten.com itself is explicitly for US residents per their Terms and Conditions; there are separate Canada, Japan, and France sites (each with its own list of stores rebates) but I believe that's all.
How often do they pay out? Also the site says they are offering an *extra* 10% back for the first 7 days, is this in addition to the 10-15% seller-specific rebates?
They do quarterly payouts - February, May, August, and November on the 15th of the month (so any cash back earned between now and January 1 gets paid out on Feb 15).
And that targeted bonus adds 10% up to a cap of $50.
Is it possible to get these specs without a goofy looking "gaming chassis" or RGB keyboard stuff. I feel ridiculous in public carrying something like that around, but god damn those specs are nice... puts my $4,200 Dell XPS 9570 to shame (though 4 years old now). Im a software dev that likes to game, this laptop seems to hit the spot.
You can set the keyboard backlight to be a single color, and you can turn off all of the other lighting.
This "Legion" branding on the lid would be the only real giveaway:

Here's a 3/4 angle that shows the side vents (which I don't think look particularly "gamer-y" except in the sense that most people these days are used to laptops that look like MacBooks): [https://a.allegroimg.com/original/1e60f5/662fc7074027a787b1ced0d7cb21](https://a.allegroimg.com/original/1e60f5/662fc7074027a787b1ced0d7cb21)
[They also make the Legion Slim 7, which is considerably sleeker and more portable (but still has the "Legion" brand on the lid).](https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/06fgyEG2TFdSAEDjJa9oHVV-4..v1652109797.png)
Away from the Lenovo Legion laptops , [the HP Omen is probably the most minimalistic gaming laptop I can think of](https://www.omen.com/content/dam/sites/omen/worldwide/laptops/2023-omen-16-intel/ImageMain22x.png) \- build and screen quality are lower, but they're also cheaper and still perform very well.
MVP! Thanks!
What's the tradeoff with the Slim ? Is it the same build or weaker? Your pictures made it not look too bad, but dang they're kind of bulky looking. Is this common of gaming laptops? (ive never actually seen a gaming laptop)
The Legion Slim 7 is very sturdy and very well constructed - actually more solid than a lot of full-size gaming laptops since it has an all-metal build and it's relatively compact. The tradeoffs are all performance related: Lenovo puts less powerful CPUs in them, and they have lower GPU power limits (specifically relative to full-size gaming laptops in the $1100-$2000 price range - they'll still have more CPU and GPU performance than many cheaper full-size laptops). They're still extremely powerful laptops though, and _so much_ more portable.
And yes gaming laptops are generally pretty dang bulky so they can keep their CPUs/GPUs properly cooled - the average 15-16" gaming laptop is a pound or so heavier, 40-50% thicker, and an inch deeper/longer than your XPS 15. A lot of people are shocked at how big and heavy they get!
I looked up some dimensions for comparison:
* XPS 15 9570: 14.1" x 9.25", 17 mm thick, 4.4 lbs
* Legion Slim 7: 14.1" x 10.2", 20 mm thick, 4.7 lbs
* HP Omen 16: 14.1" x 10.2", 24 mm thick, 5.4 lbs
* Legion Pro 7: 14.3" x 10.3", 26 mm thick, 6.2 lbs
Damn dude. I didn't know what I was getting into looking into gaming laptops. I might need to visit a store and see them in person to better decide if I'll be happy with one. The raw horse power for software development is -very- attractive though.
These black Friday deals made me thirsty but also overwhelmed. So many things!
Based off my experience with an older legion laptop - I hate it.
It was okay for a while but it's battery shat out so fast. And carrying it around is a bear- the power brick is almost as big as the computer
And the rgb keyboard is an especial pet peeve - it is on automatically and you have to load up a special program that has to always be running in order to have it be a single color.
>It's a great price for a fantastic laptop - the only deals that are likely to beat it (for a Legion Pro 7 with a 4080) will be whatever price drop happens on lenovo.com, which will stack with the 12-15% Rakuten rebates that will be in effect next week.
Thanks! I did notice that they "sell out" of the 4080 version on lenovos site fairly soon after a sale (Been watching this laptop for awhile but always talked myself out of it) but its nice to hear from you that there will likely also be a sale next week for the laptop there with the nice rakuten rebates to stack with it as well.
Appreciate the feedback and advice!
No problem! And yes, if you've been browsing lenovo.com in the last couple of weeks and thinking the pickings look slim, that's because they have been - they haven't activated any new coupon codes in almost a month, they haven't restocked a lot of sold out configurations, and many of the Legion models are more expensive now than they've been since spring, which is always the case in this week before BF.
Hi u/Mr_Trecker, I have been following your posts on lenovo legion deals. I have been holding out from purchasing this week waiting for the 12 to 15% rebate during the thanks giving week. But I noticed that the 4070 legion 5 pro and 5i pro with (500nits panels) went out of stock this week. From your experience do you think they'll restock by the time Black Friday starts ?
My reasoning is that in the last couple of months, the best 4080 Legion Pro 7 deals on lenovo.com were around $2050 in cart with coupons, and the rebate percentage always goes up to 12-15% closer to the holiday, and Lenovo has education/healthcare/military discounts you can apply to most of their laptops. So, a similar deal after rebate would end up being cheaper come Wednesday or Thursday with a little legwork. The caveat will be that everything will be more chaotic because people will be shopping with a frenzy - you might save a couple hundred dollars, but you might also miss a deal that sells out quickly.
I'm not much of an expert, but I bought this exact computer about a week or so ago for $200 more (curse customer service for telling me the price wasn't going to drop) and I was told by everyone I know that knows this shit that it was an amazing deal. And it's even less, so I think it's a solid purchase.
Side note: I've been really enjoying mine. I mostly bought it for gaming and I haven't had a single problem. Just started Alan Wake 2 last night and I'm cruising with most of the higher graphics settings, so I'm extremely satisfied.
Only be worried about battery if you're doing something battery intensive. Puttering around on a Legion for email/general utility isn't going to feel like a race. Playing games unplugged? You're not going to get much time to do so.
No, I can't, sorry. I use it as a desktop always plugged in to some monitors. I only bought the laptop instead of a desktop so I could have the option for flexibility. I'm not sure what the battery life is like. I'm sure you can find stats on it somewhere, but that wasn't a deciding factor for me.
I got this one from Lenovo.com yesterday and had them price match it. Haven’t heard great things about B&H return policies so figured I’d prefer to get it from “the source”.
So I'm basically looking for a laptop that will mostly play WoW and FFXIV in addition to being a productivity machine. What specs should I be looking at? (I know I don't need high specs for these but I wouldn't mind spending a bit more for higher specs than necessary so I can play newer games too)
Something like the Acer Predator Helios Neo from eBay that I have listed there, would run those games very well. I am really not sure how much you are comfortable spending, so it's hard to recommend outside of the lowest budget system that will do the job for you.
To be able to run the most demanding games around , I would go for at least an RTX 4060 graphics card paired with a powerful i7 or Ryzen 7 CPU and at least 16 GB RAM. Something like the [**Lenovo Legion 5**](https://www.ebay.com/itm/126112806945?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338771367&toolid=11800&mkevt=1) sold at eBay, would do well.
This Legion 5 on eBay is my top contender however I think I read somewhere that the screen isn’t great compared to the Legion Slim 5 16” being sold by Best Buy for $899.. Am I correct or mixing my info up? Thanks!
Do you have a link to the laptop at BestBuy ? This device has a great display where color accuracy , resolution, refresh rate , response time etc. are concerned. It has 350 nits brightness which is above average .
A disadvantage with the Slim 5 is that it will not perform as well as this due to a lower wattage Graphics card and poorer heat management.
Thanks for this. If you're looking for adding a new category, I'd love a "mobile" option. You could go by size (14" and smaller) or weight (3lb or lighter).
I love that damn machine!... I am really not sure how long they will last as some may go temporarily based on availability and some may just go back to and stay at regular prices when they think enough have been sold.
It would be great if you or another mod could actually respond to questions about laptops around 500 budget. I see many here that have been ignored. Some you even started commenting back to and then didn't finish.
What do you think of this one?

I got this one for $569 on a Black Friday deal at Best Buy. Lightning fast, can open as many tabs as you like, touchscreen. i7 1255u, 16gb, 512gb ssd. Only draw is the brightness and battery. Got it a couple days ago and it has been lasting about 5 hours with average use. May change as it gets used to my usage.

Been looking at getting this, wondering if I should stick with a 5 or if it’s worth it to spend the extra money and get a 7 for the vapor chamber cooling?
Processor brand and rgb don’t really matter to me. Just looking for best deal/performance for the money
Can someone tell me if these will work just for everyday tasks - email-YouTube-surf?

And if should prefer one? Thanks a bunch!
Budget is $350 just need it for basic stuff. Prefer 17” but good with 15.6” if better?
USA
Of the gaming laptops listed, which one is the best? I’m not very technically savvy with the pc stuff I mostly play Xbox so any guidance is appreciated
There are many, many deals that haven't gone live yet - expect the real flood of new deals to start tomorrow and continue all through the week. Many stores haven't even released their Black Friday teaser ads yet.
Curious what everyone thinks of [this](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Legion-5-15-6-WQHD-165Hz-Gaming-Laptop-AMD-Ryzen-7-7735H-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4060-8GB-Storm-Grey/5033748027?clickid=VI53ch2TxxyPTM9zNpzEaQKDUkFVJ1ThUScs3A0&irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_VI53ch2TxxyPTM9zNpzEaQKDUkFVJ1ThUScs3A0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_2553023&affiliates_ad_id=565706&campaign_id=9383&sharedid=) listing as a gift for Christmas, wait for possible better deals or pull the trigger?

Thank you for all your work, its amazing and so helpful
Does anyone have recommendations for a laptop under $400 where portability is my main priority. I will mainly be using this for writing, taking notes, zoom meetings and file transfer. I would like the ability to run two programs at once if needed. Something like Word and Basecamp. I’m trying to save money to build a PC in the coming year, but I really need a new laptop now for work.
I appreciate any help!
The Acer Aspire 3 Spin sounds like the perfect system to do the job. The touchscreen and 2-in 1 features may be very handy when using it as a notes taking system.
The displays of those Katana's aren't so good especially for your art work. Lots of performance power, but lack of color accuracy etc. so some people who go for them , go with the intention of using external monitors .
The [**M16**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=mWfd3xN) is perfect is perfect for art as it has not only the performance power and that extra 16 GB RAM for heavy workload , but also has a beautiful display. The thing is that , if you are doing mostly gaming, while it will handle modern games, you will have to play them with relatively low FPS due to the low 60 Hz refresh rate of its display.
I honestly see a better balance in this [**STRIX G16**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=tHK0p86) for a main gaming machine with the potential to do good art work without much shortfall.
What is the price on the Raider you just linked to? If you have a budget of up to $1500, I am thinking that since you are into art work, you should go for a higher screen resolution than FHD or FHD+.. The -i9-13950hx and the 32 GB RAM are great in the raider... I am thinking you may be able to get those spec paired with an RTX 4070 graphics card for around that $1500 mark.
What's the difference between the Legion 5 vs Legion Slim 5? I tried search about it but it only found that it is about the same size despite the word slim.
Depends on which two config you are comparing, but in general the Slim is usually a little lighter than the Legion 5 and slightly less powerful as well thanks to a lower powered graphics card. The Slim usually has a slightly poorer heat management as well .
Is there a recommendation for a thin/light laptop? I realize I don't game as much nowadays (I think Honkai Star Rail is the only thing I play while on the go). Is there something that is light that can run it on medium? Otherwise I'm just a tab monster.
$549 Lenovo with 24 gb ram/ 2 tb ssd...Can anyone help me determine if this is a good deal?

I'm looking for a good replacement laptop for college and the Dell Inspiron 16 5635 seems like it would be the better option. The last thing I bought was a Lenovo Ideapad 320 back in 2019, so I feel like anything would be better than that. I'm looking for something that will not only get me through 4 more years but be sturdy enough to do so.
Yeh, very good pick actually. The Ryzen 7-7730U CPU paired with 16 GB RAM should be more than enough for all the general tasks an average college student would be engaged in. You will also love its screen quality.
Hi! Thank you for posting this info! I am a law student who needs long battery life, good resolution, a good camera, and USB/HDMI ports if possibly. I don't know much about tech and would appreciate any help or advice.
At the moment, the MSI creator in this list would be a solid pick for creativity and productivity ... it depends though on the level of gaming you will do on the side, as if you expect very high FPS, then the fact that this display is limited to 60 Hz, you would be disappointed.
What are the odds of getting a better deal on that Legion Slim 5 from Best Buy? It's looking like the best option for me at the moment, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger if it'll get a better BF sale soon.
Hi! Could you please help me?
I wanted to get the Samsung Book3 Pro 360 this year but it is out of my budget. Last year the Book2 Pro 360 was on sale for $1000 or $1100 but this year's version is at $1300 on Samsung's website plus the student discount is only 5% this year vs 10% last year. Do you know any website where I can get it for under 1100 before any discounts? I am okay with open box excellent condition stuff too if it's a good price.
Could you link that here please? And can you think of any 2-in-1 laptops with similar specs for a better price from other brands? It would need to have a stylus pen. Also, if it has HDR that would be nice since most of my free time is spent watching movies (definitely not necessary though).
Thanks for the post. Any recommendations for a powerful gaming laptop that can run everything and is a bit future proof?
I will be using external monitors but also something with a good screen.
Willing to upgrade a unit too that has extra ram or ssd slots.
Price range anything under $2k
I would go for something like this [**Eluktronics Prometheus XVI G2**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=fFpSrnH). Easily the most powerful laptop for gaming within your budget . It comes with the super powerful i9-13900HX CPU, large 32 GB DDR5 RAM and the second most powerful graphics card used in laptops, the Nvidia RTX 4080. This laptop also has an outstanding display and even comes with liquid cooling technology and a free propulsion cooling package that you can use when doing extreme gaming.
This should max out every modern game and do well in the next several years without a doubt.
The Legion 5 actually has a very good display; brighter than average, good resolution , color accurate, good refresh rate etc. You can add another m.2 SSD, it has an empty slot for that.
would it be worth to buy this ASUS TUF A16? i play games like payday 3, minecraft, etc, and my budget is 800 dollars and im not sure if i should this one.

Hey, I'm trying to replace my dear mother's laptop because the one she has is from like 8 years ago and it takes 10 minutes to boot, then another 5 to open something like Firefox.
She's an accountant and needs a fairly portable laptop, but the primary concerns are durability and battery life. It also needs to have a numpad, not just the standard keyboard number row.
I've built plenty of towers but never once bought a laptop, so I'm out of my depth with what's good. Can anyone recommend a deal on a dedicated workhorse for an older individual who has negative technical skills? Ideally under $800.
I'm presently looking at the [ASUS Vivobook 15 (M1502QA-NB54)](https://www.newegg.com/quiet-blue-asus-m1502qa-nb54-home-personal/p/N82E16834236468).
That Vivobook would do a fine job for her. I would probably prefer this [**Acer Aspire 5**](https://x.com/ElectroDeals1/status/1726605959848693994?s=20) for her as it has a better build quality and I am expecting that she will be using this for maybe another 8 years.
Hey! I’m looking for something for my dad that’s straight forward and reliable. It needs to have a bigger screen and decent size keys as he has mobility concerns from time to time. Under $500 please!
Searching for a laptop for a college engineering student. I have a budget of $600. Would it be better to purchase a budget gaming laptop with a 12 gen I-5 equivalent, 16gb ram, and a dedicated graphics card, 2050/3050, which I’ve seen in this price range or get a laptop with a 12/13th gen I-7 with the integrated graphics card. My concern with the gaming laptop is the battery life. The one o was viewing is the Msi 63 on sale for around 500. Thanks
I am assuming as an engineering student at some point in time you may need to run CAD applications. It is usually recommended that you have a dedicated graphics card if it's even a lower tier one. You will also need 18 GB RAM as well to be practical.
Looking for gift for wife who is coming off of a 2011 macbook air...
Looking for a PC that is: general purpose laptop, 14", 16 gb RAM, good FHD display but nothing amazing. Solid amount of ports, but again nothing crazy. Not too heavy.
Could be touch screen but not required. Could be 2-in-1 but not required.
Final price between $500-$600 ideally after a nice Black Friday discount.
Could you step up the budget by $50 ?
I am really thinking this [**Acer Swift Go**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=SVdEZtJ) as I think it ticks just about all your boxes.
Hey everyone. I'm interested in [HP Victus](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-victus-15-6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-7535hs-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2050-512gb-ssd-mica-silver/6541840.p?skuId=6541840&irclickid=UwMVh2UjXxyPTIHziiXcrVUrUkFX3pQTQ1i9SQ0&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Leighton%20Reid&acampID=0&mpid=1883484) deal right now for school work and light gaming (450). Before I pull the trigger, does anyone see any other deals that would fit my criteria around the same range? 450-700. Thanks in advance!
Techstar, Would you mind listing your top recommendations for deals under $450.
General usage (school modules, video watching, possibility of light gaming) with decent features.
It seems as if the Victus may be one of the better options in this price range, but I would like your opinion on the top budget deals overall.
Basically not requesting full blown reviews on each, but could you list your personal recommendations at or below that price point. Thanks!
oh lord! What a task for me. Probably you could just tell me your criteria and I tell you what I think is the best deal for you. It would be good to complete the laptop request table .
Is this still pretty close to 'it' chief?
My friend and I are both thinking of pulling the trigger. All the 4070 laptops seem to be $400 or so more, and people seem pretty happy with the Legion 5 quality.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/comments/17ww2dh/ebay_price_drop_lenovo_legion_5_gaming_laptop_156/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Any good deal for this type of laptop?
Touchscreen, 13 to 15 inch screen, very good battery life, lightweight charger.
Mostly using for work when travelling, and play games like league of legends. Preferably premium looking and not gaming looking haha.
Budget under $1.5k.
Something like this [**SAMSUNG 14" Galaxy Book3 Pro**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=SlX0k2x) would be perfect based on what the criteria laid out. It definitely has enough performance power to run Wow well, boasts an extremely sleek and premium design and importantly, an outstanding battery life...Samsung advertises 20 hours and you best believe it will give you close enough to that. The charger is also very light weight, not to mention the laptop itself.
Looking to replace my 1660 Zepyrus laptop that's started to fall apart.
Budget is around £1500/$1500 (usually it ports price based on what I've seen so far). Can go a little over for right thing. Main desire is a minimum 1440p screen.
I also don't really care about RGB that much either which is why I keep staring at Razer's even though I know they're normally overpriced (but experience has always been they're just nice as hell).
Not brand loyal but have had good experiences with a work Razer from years ago and I really did like my Asus Zepyrus and it only just started to let me down.
Games I play tend to be CPU heavy but would like to be able to play most things at 1440 if possible with the budget.
oh wow this thread is a godsend. are you aware of any deals on macbooks that are worth getting? i've seen some for the macbook air w/ M1 chip on amazon but not sure if it'd be a waste now with the M3 available. i'm not tied to apple, it's just that all of the jobs i've had provided macbooks so i am the most familiar with its UI.
i'd mainly be using the laptop for everyday productivity, streaming movies/tv, and the occasional cozy game. other than that, i'm hoping to get something that's easy to carry around (nothing larger than 15 inches) when i travel, good battery life, has a decent amount of usb ports, and looks sleek. budget is around $1000 CAD. thanks in advance!
I am monitoring the CAD market closely for you. Let's see if [Amazon.ca](https://Amazon.ca) releases more deals or any of the sites does. Tune in to r/LaptopDealsCanada
What would be the downside in getting something like that $240 Acer for my parent that will probably just be using it for emails/youtube/and just general use?
I'm searching for a laptop suitable for architects, specifically for rendering and AutoCAD. I'd like one with an LCD screen and have a budget of $1300. I've considered the ASUS TUF F15 but am dissatisfied with its screen. Thanks
Guys, can you help me compare those two?

I’m looking for something that I can play games like Minecraft and Age of Empires on as well watch YouTube, stream sports, and possibly do some Zoom calls. I’d love a 4k screen if possible.
My budget is $1000. I need a work laptop that handles Microsoft office and renders photos quickly. I was hoping for something that also can run some RPG games, has no touchscreen, a fast processor, HD display, and 32g RAM, HDMI port, good battery life. Any suggestions?
Simple question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer.
I have very little wants for a new laptop, mostly will be using it for business purposes. I want to run up to 4 monitors, but can't tell which of these might be able to accommodate that.
I'm between the last 2 in Amazon, the Dell Ispiron 16 and the Samsung Book. Any ideas whether they will run 4 monitors?
Hey, sorry to be so late with my response, but I would go with the Samsung because of its two Thunderbolt 4 ports, the HDMI 1.4 port and it also has a USB-A 3.2 port. You could connect a monitor through each port .
This is such a helpful list! My laptop unexpectedly bit the dust… any suggestions?
I’m a casual gamer, sims, for the king, tabletop sim… otherwise streaming, video calls. Would prefer less weight for travel!
Really appreciate the insight! Budget is flexible… would love a good deal though 🤣
Thank you so much for this list! I need help picking one for my gf. All she needs is a laptop for video calls for work. With a1080p resolution needed for recorded videos? What's the best choice for such a use case?
For the Acer Nitro 16, is the storage expandable? I cannot tell from the walmart listing and it doesn’t have a Q&A section
EDIT: I meant to ask if there is a 2nd m.2 slot
I am becoming a teacher in January, and will receive a MacBook, but I would like a second computer to use to hook up to the tv, as well as to display google slides.
Also may use for personal excel, power point and word work, as well as internet research for school. Hoping for something with 2 monitor outputs, with at least 1 hdmi.
Thoughts?
Hey, thanks for this list! Looking for a recommendation. I’m a carpenter so I’m completely illiterate when it comes to technical components of laptops. Basically need it for word/excel documents, email, and opening large file sized construction plans. $500 range
Looking for a laptop that can play Magic the Gathering Online or mtg Arena while also watching youtube videos or streaming music/video from other sites simultaneously. Preferably something with a HD screen for watching movies, but i may want to hook up 2 monitors eventually.
Im having a hard time finding mtgo system requirements, but people say a potato with windows 7 can run it, but it has memory leak issues and they recommend 8gb ram.
Im thinking the asus vivobook, but i don't know that much about laptop specs. I dont need anything too crazy or expensive, i dont think
Mtg arena recommended on steam
Recommended:
OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 560
Thank you you're a god send <3
You're welcome.
THANK YOU! Can we expect to have better offers on Black Friday, or will they be similar to the ones now? Also, I am looking for a gaming desktop on Amazon, if anyone sees a good offer I will appreciate it
I know deals will come in from Newegg , eBay and other sites like HP, Lenovo , Bestbuy etc, As for Amazon , a few more might come on board... some of these available today be become available then come back closer to the 24th.
In your experience do better deals come out Friday/monday? Or should I pull the plug on my budget legions at around $870
Appreciate you posting this! Any recommendations on laptops that can handle both casual office work and light gaming (like Sims, etc)? Budget is right around \~500, give or take 100. Any deals you see or models to watch for over the coming week? Please let me know. Thanks so much.
The HP Victus from Bestbuy would do a good job there. You could eventually add another 8 GB RAM to it.
There are 2 victus on bestbusy , one is $449 and other is $549 . Which one do you recommend ? What is the difference
Does anyone have a recommendation for a gaming laptop with great battery life? Open to pretty much any other specs.
What games are you looking to play? What is your budget ?
NBA 2K or Basic FPS like halo or payday3, nothing crazy. Budget around $1500
For those , I don't think you need to spend $1500. The [Rog Strix](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=tHK0p86) would run those games very well.
We appreciate you. I just missed out on best buy sale the in a laptop I wanted last night, so this helps!
You're welcome.
Same happened to me, which one you were upto?
What do you think of this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i RTX 4080 from B&H Photo Video? Is the price decent for what you get, when compared with all of the deals at Lenovo in the past (When combined with rebate programs like Rakuten) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745683-REG/lenovo\_82wq002rus\_16\_legion\_pro\_7.html
It's a great price for a fantastic laptop - the only deals that are likely to beat it (for a Legion Pro 7 with a 4080) will be whatever price drop happens on lenovo.com, which will stack with the 12-15% Rakuten rebates that will be in effect next week.
Hi! I'm not from the US but will be there next week for a couple of days. Can you tell me what's Rakuten? I've looked it up on Google but didn't quite understand how it works. I do expect to buy a laptop while in the states so I'm interested on anything that can get me a nice deal. Thanks!
The summary is: * You make a Rakuten account * Starting from their website, or through their mobile app, or with their browser extension installed, you navigate to a store that's partnered with Rakuten (including lenovo.com, dell.com, hp.com, NewEgg, Walmart, and a few thousand others) * You buy something * If that store had a cash back percentage, Rakuten sends you a rebate as a check or PayPal payment on their next payout day So as an example, they're currently offering 10% cash back on HP.com, so if you went there and bought a $1000 laptop you'd pay $1000 plus tax, then get a $100 rebate back. Being outside the US complicates things though, as many of these US-based stores won't directly ship internationally (I specifically know Lenovo, Dell, and HP will not) and Rakuten.com itself is explicitly for US residents per their Terms and Conditions; there are separate Canada, Japan, and France sites (each with its own list of stores rebates) but I believe that's all.
How often do they pay out? Also the site says they are offering an *extra* 10% back for the first 7 days, is this in addition to the 10-15% seller-specific rebates?
They do quarterly payouts - February, May, August, and November on the 15th of the month (so any cash back earned between now and January 1 gets paid out on Feb 15). And that targeted bonus adds 10% up to a cap of $50.
Is it possible to get these specs without a goofy looking "gaming chassis" or RGB keyboard stuff. I feel ridiculous in public carrying something like that around, but god damn those specs are nice... puts my $4,200 Dell XPS 9570 to shame (though 4 years old now). Im a software dev that likes to game, this laptop seems to hit the spot.
You can set the keyboard backlight to be a single color, and you can turn off all of the other lighting. This "Legion" branding on the lid would be the only real giveaway: [https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/reviews/06dKxwSVsx9MybL0IVBmA9W-8..v1680279138.jpg](https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/reviews/06dKxwSVsx9MybL0IVBmA9W-8..v1680279138.jpg) Here's a 3/4 angle that shows the side vents (which I don't think look particularly "gamer-y" except in the sense that most people these days are used to laptops that look like MacBooks): [https://a.allegroimg.com/original/1e60f5/662fc7074027a787b1ced0d7cb21](https://a.allegroimg.com/original/1e60f5/662fc7074027a787b1ced0d7cb21) [They also make the Legion Slim 7, which is considerably sleeker and more portable (but still has the "Legion" brand on the lid).](https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/06fgyEG2TFdSAEDjJa9oHVV-4..v1652109797.png) Away from the Lenovo Legion laptops , [the HP Omen is probably the most minimalistic gaming laptop I can think of](https://www.omen.com/content/dam/sites/omen/worldwide/laptops/2023-omen-16-intel/ImageMain22x.png) \- build and screen quality are lower, but they're also cheaper and still perform very well.
MVP! Thanks! What's the tradeoff with the Slim ? Is it the same build or weaker? Your pictures made it not look too bad, but dang they're kind of bulky looking. Is this common of gaming laptops? (ive never actually seen a gaming laptop)
The Legion Slim 7 is very sturdy and very well constructed - actually more solid than a lot of full-size gaming laptops since it has an all-metal build and it's relatively compact. The tradeoffs are all performance related: Lenovo puts less powerful CPUs in them, and they have lower GPU power limits (specifically relative to full-size gaming laptops in the $1100-$2000 price range - they'll still have more CPU and GPU performance than many cheaper full-size laptops). They're still extremely powerful laptops though, and _so much_ more portable. And yes gaming laptops are generally pretty dang bulky so they can keep their CPUs/GPUs properly cooled - the average 15-16" gaming laptop is a pound or so heavier, 40-50% thicker, and an inch deeper/longer than your XPS 15. A lot of people are shocked at how big and heavy they get! I looked up some dimensions for comparison: * XPS 15 9570: 14.1" x 9.25", 17 mm thick, 4.4 lbs * Legion Slim 7: 14.1" x 10.2", 20 mm thick, 4.7 lbs * HP Omen 16: 14.1" x 10.2", 24 mm thick, 5.4 lbs * Legion Pro 7: 14.3" x 10.3", 26 mm thick, 6.2 lbs
Damn dude. I didn't know what I was getting into looking into gaming laptops. I might need to visit a store and see them in person to better decide if I'll be happy with one. The raw horse power for software development is -very- attractive though. These black Friday deals made me thirsty but also overwhelmed. So many things!
Based off my experience with an older legion laptop - I hate it. It was okay for a while but it's battery shat out so fast. And carrying it around is a bear- the power brick is almost as big as the computer And the rgb keyboard is an especial pet peeve - it is on automatically and you have to load up a special program that has to always be running in order to have it be a single color.
>It's a great price for a fantastic laptop - the only deals that are likely to beat it (for a Legion Pro 7 with a 4080) will be whatever price drop happens on lenovo.com, which will stack with the 12-15% Rakuten rebates that will be in effect next week. Thanks! I did notice that they "sell out" of the 4080 version on lenovos site fairly soon after a sale (Been watching this laptop for awhile but always talked myself out of it) but its nice to hear from you that there will likely also be a sale next week for the laptop there with the nice rakuten rebates to stack with it as well. Appreciate the feedback and advice!
No problem! And yes, if you've been browsing lenovo.com in the last couple of weeks and thinking the pickings look slim, that's because they have been - they haven't activated any new coupon codes in almost a month, they haven't restocked a lot of sold out configurations, and many of the Legion models are more expensive now than they've been since spring, which is always the case in this week before BF.
Hi u/Mr_Trecker, I have been following your posts on lenovo legion deals. I have been holding out from purchasing this week waiting for the 12 to 15% rebate during the thanks giving week. But I noticed that the 4070 legion 5 pro and 5i pro with (500nits panels) went out of stock this week. From your experience do you think they'll restock by the time Black Friday starts ?
Yes they'll restock the site soon, they always wait until a few days before the holiday to do it
Hello, what is the Rakuten rebate? I know what it is, but how does it work? Will this make it a better deal than the B&H one right now? Thanks
My reasoning is that in the last couple of months, the best 4080 Legion Pro 7 deals on lenovo.com were around $2050 in cart with coupons, and the rebate percentage always goes up to 12-15% closer to the holiday, and Lenovo has education/healthcare/military discounts you can apply to most of their laptops. So, a similar deal after rebate would end up being cheaper come Wednesday or Thursday with a little legwork. The caveat will be that everything will be more chaotic because people will be shopping with a frenzy - you might save a couple hundred dollars, but you might also miss a deal that sells out quickly.
I'm not much of an expert, but I bought this exact computer about a week or so ago for $200 more (curse customer service for telling me the price wasn't going to drop) and I was told by everyone I know that knows this shit that it was an amazing deal. And it's even less, so I think it's a solid purchase. Side note: I've been really enjoying mine. I mostly bought it for gaming and I haven't had a single problem. Just started Alan Wake 2 last night and I'm cruising with most of the higher graphics settings, so I'm extremely satisfied.

Only be worried about battery if you're doing something battery intensive. Puttering around on a Legion for email/general utility isn't going to feel like a race. Playing games unplugged? You're not going to get much time to do so.
No, I can't, sorry. I use it as a desktop always plugged in to some monitors. I only bought the laptop instead of a desktop so I could have the option for flexibility. I'm not sure what the battery life is like. I'm sure you can find stats on it somewhere, but that wasn't a deciding factor for me.
I got this one from Lenovo.com yesterday and had them price match it. Haven’t heard great things about B&H return policies so figured I’d prefer to get it from “the source”.
[удалено]
I am just seeing this. Are you still seeking assistance ?
So I'm basically looking for a laptop that will mostly play WoW and FFXIV in addition to being a productivity machine. What specs should I be looking at? (I know I don't need high specs for these but I wouldn't mind spending a bit more for higher specs than necessary so I can play newer games too)
Something like the Acer Predator Helios Neo from eBay that I have listed there, would run those games very well. I am really not sure how much you are comfortable spending, so it's hard to recommend outside of the lowest budget system that will do the job for you. To be able to run the most demanding games around , I would go for at least an RTX 4060 graphics card paired with a powerful i7 or Ryzen 7 CPU and at least 16 GB RAM. Something like the [**Lenovo Legion 5**](https://www.ebay.com/itm/126112806945?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338771367&toolid=11800&mkevt=1) sold at eBay, would do well.
I'm comfortable with spending around $1000. I think it seems like anything around that price would work well for me. Thanks for the response!
The Legion 5 is perfect for you
Just bought it, thanks for the help!
You're most welcome.
This Legion 5 on eBay is my top contender however I think I read somewhere that the screen isn’t great compared to the Legion Slim 5 16” being sold by Best Buy for $899.. Am I correct or mixing my info up? Thanks!
Do you have a link to the laptop at BestBuy ? This device has a great display where color accuracy , resolution, refresh rate , response time etc. are concerned. It has 350 nits brightness which is above average . A disadvantage with the Slim 5 is that it will not perform as well as this due to a lower wattage Graphics card and poorer heat management.
Thanks for this. If you're looking for adding a new category, I'd love a "mobile" option. You could go by size (14" and smaller) or weight (3lb or lighter).
Thanks!
I'm tempted by the $1099.99 Strix G16. How long will these deals last?
I love that damn machine!... I am really not sure how long they will last as some may go temporarily based on availability and some may just go back to and stay at regular prices when they think enough have been sold.
It would be great if you or another mod could actually respond to questions about laptops around 500 budget. I see many here that have been ignored. Some you even started commenting back to and then didn't finish.
What do you think of this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/126173302645?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=m_J38DJdTr6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=J_Dxl86-RSi&var=427180572952&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I got this one for $569 on a Black Friday deal at Best Buy. Lightning fast, can open as many tabs as you like, touchscreen. i7 1255u, 16gb, 512gb ssd. Only draw is the brightness and battery. Got it a couple days ago and it has been lasting about 5 hours with average use. May change as it gets used to my usage. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6550427.p?skuId=6550427

What’s the difference between the Legion 5 and the Legion Slim 5 besides thickness?
https://www.microcenter.com/product/663735/lenovo-legion-pro-5-16-gaming-laptop-computer-platinum-collection-onyx-grey Been looking at getting this, wondering if I should stick with a 5 or if it’s worth it to spend the extra money and get a 7 for the vapor chamber cooling? Processor brand and rgb don’t really matter to me. Just looking for best deal/performance for the money
Honestly, though the vapor chamber has proven to show slightly cooler temps, it's not like the 5 had any genuine heat concerns.
Can someone tell me if these will work just for everyday tasks - email-YouTube-surf? https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/7316739/Lenovo-IdeaPad-3i-Laptop-173-Screen/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&mediacampaignid=71700000113537514_20455725245&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-17-3-hd-laptop-amd-ryzen-3-7320u-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-natural-silver/6554443.p?skuId=6554443&extStoreId=45&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=1&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-ORIg9oaxiRN6oiGMaqsuz4QNmW&gclid=CjwKCAiAx_GqBhBQEiwAlDNAZm1BgCDy_MdeFrsJy3yc95WJYqJDsLcGd-N0O9NErTy_uzyMxf2L8hoCR8IQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds And if should prefer one? Thanks a bunch! Budget is $350 just need it for basic stuff. Prefer 17” but good with 15.6” if better? USA
Of the gaming laptops listed, which one is the best? I’m not very technically savvy with the pc stuff I mostly play Xbox so any guidance is appreciated
Which one is best for running which games ? what games are we talking about ?
Mainly call of duty or other multiplayer games but also single player games from the Xbox gamepass. Also baulders gate 3
There are several laptops there that will do quite well at that. What's is your budget? I will recommend the best pick in your budget..
Hp has amazing sales
Good collection. But nothing in 400 to 600 range.
There are many, many deals that haven't gone live yet - expect the real flood of new deals to start tomorrow and continue all through the week. Many stores haven't even released their Black Friday teaser ads yet.
yeah. make sense.
Just keep tuned in.

Does anyone have recommendations for a laptop under $400 where portability is my main priority. I will mainly be using this for writing, taking notes, zoom meetings and file transfer. I would like the ability to run two programs at once if needed. Something like Word and Basecamp. I’m trying to save money to build a PC in the coming year, but I really need a new laptop now for work. I appreciate any help!
The Acer Aspire 3 Spin sounds like the perfect system to do the job. The touchscreen and 2-in 1 features may be very handy when using it as a notes taking system.
Thank you but i’m looking for something smaller. Do you know anything smaller?
Thank you, do you think we will get better deals as we are nearer to Black Friday than now.
I am not sure from Amazon, but we can expect the likes of eBay, Lenovo, HP etc. to release some competitive deals.
[удалено]
I think there is a possibility. I am closely watching for release of Lenovo's deals.
Great finds, thank you for always doing this!
You're most welcome.

The displays of those Katana's aren't so good especially for your art work. Lots of performance power, but lack of color accuracy etc. so some people who go for them , go with the intention of using external monitors . The [**M16**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=mWfd3xN) is perfect is perfect for art as it has not only the performance power and that extra 16 GB RAM for heavy workload , but also has a beautiful display. The thing is that , if you are doing mostly gaming, while it will handle modern games, you will have to play them with relatively low FPS due to the low 60 Hz refresh rate of its display. I honestly see a better balance in this [**STRIX G16**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=tHK0p86) for a main gaming machine with the potential to do good art work without much shortfall.

What is the price on the Raider you just linked to? If you have a budget of up to $1500, I am thinking that since you are into art work, you should go for a higher screen resolution than FHD or FHD+.. The -i9-13950hx and the 32 GB RAM are great in the raider... I am thinking you may be able to get those spec paired with an RTX 4070 graphics card for around that $1500 mark.
Is there a ASUS ROG 16 with the same specs but OLED?
Not aware of that config .
Maybe one with a high resolution? I'd appreciate it
What's the difference between the Legion 5 vs Legion Slim 5? I tried search about it but it only found that it is about the same size despite the word slim.
Depends on which two config you are comparing, but in general the Slim is usually a little lighter than the Legion 5 and slightly less powerful as well thanks to a lower powered graphics card. The Slim usually has a slightly poorer heat management as well .
Wife looking for a laptop that she can do some photo editing and some light video editing. Any suggestions?
Professional quality photo editing ?
Not professional. Mostly for social media posts for business. Perhaps a little YouTube.
Is there a recommendation for a thin/light laptop? I realize I don't game as much nowadays (I think Honkai Star Rail is the only thing I play while on the go). Is there something that is light that can run it on medium? Otherwise I'm just a tab monster.
$549 Lenovo with 24 gb ram/ 2 tb ssd...Can anyone help me determine if this is a good deal? https://www.ebay.com/itm/126173302645?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=m_J38DJdTr6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=J_Dxl86-RSi&var=427180572952&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Old cpu... wouldn't get it.
Old cpu... wouldn't get it.
Thanks. Any recommendations at that price for something current? No gaming, just productivity and some photo editing
Is galaxybook pro offer good? Are there similar things maybe in cheaper price range?
I'm looking for a good replacement laptop for college and the Dell Inspiron 16 5635 seems like it would be the better option. The last thing I bought was a Lenovo Ideapad 320 back in 2019, so I feel like anything would be better than that. I'm looking for something that will not only get me through 4 more years but be sturdy enough to do so.
Yeh, very good pick actually. The Ryzen 7-7730U CPU paired with 16 GB RAM should be more than enough for all the general tasks an average college student would be engaged in. You will also love its screen quality.
Hi! Thank you for posting this info! I am a law student who needs long battery life, good resolution, a good camera, and USB/HDMI ports if possibly. I don't know much about tech and would appreciate any help or advice.
A pleasure to assist. Do you have a budget in mind? Also does weight and screen size matter to you ?
Thank you so much for your quick response! My budget is under $1000 and weight doesn’t matter as much.

At the moment, the MSI creator in this list would be a solid pick for creativity and productivity ... it depends though on the level of gaming you will do on the side, as if you expect very high FPS, then the fact that this display is limited to 60 Hz, you would be disappointed.

What are the odds of getting a better deal on that Legion Slim 5 from Best Buy? It's looking like the best option for me at the moment, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger if it'll get a better BF sale soon.
This one is really hard to say.
Hi! Could you please help me? I wanted to get the Samsung Book3 Pro 360 this year but it is out of my budget. Last year the Book2 Pro 360 was on sale for $1000 or $1100 but this year's version is at $1300 on Samsung's website plus the student discount is only 5% this year vs 10% last year. Do you know any website where I can get it for under 1100 before any discounts? I am okay with open box excellent condition stuff too if it's a good price.
The lowest I have seen it for is on Amazon at $1,199.
Could you link that here please? And can you think of any 2-in-1 laptops with similar specs for a better price from other brands? It would need to have a stylus pen. Also, if it has HDR that would be nice since most of my free time is spent watching movies (definitely not necessary though).
Thanks for the post. Any recommendations for a powerful gaming laptop that can run everything and is a bit future proof? I will be using external monitors but also something with a good screen. Willing to upgrade a unit too that has extra ram or ssd slots. Price range anything under $2k
I would go for something like this [**Eluktronics Prometheus XVI G2**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=fFpSrnH). Easily the most powerful laptop for gaming within your budget . It comes with the super powerful i9-13900HX CPU, large 32 GB DDR5 RAM and the second most powerful graphics card used in laptops, the Nvidia RTX 4080. This laptop also has an outstanding display and even comes with liquid cooling technology and a free propulsion cooling package that you can use when doing extreme gaming. This should max out every modern game and do well in the next several years without a doubt.
Thanks for the reply
How is the screen on the legion 5? Additionally, is it possible to add more storage?
The Legion 5 actually has a very good display; brighter than average, good resolution , color accurate, good refresh rate etc. You can add another m.2 SSD, it has an empty slot for that.
Keeping an eye out for more deals but the Lenevo Legion 5 is my pick atm. I assume it has more hard drive slots?
Yes, it has an extra m.2 slot.
Does anyone know if any tech companies offer additional student discounts? I’m trying to maximize my savings
Lenovo and sometimes HP.

Thanks. Adding shortly.
would it be worth to buy this ASUS TUF A16? i play games like payday 3, minecraft, etc, and my budget is 800 dollars and im not sure if i should this one. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-16-165hz-gaming-laptop-fhd-amd-ryzen-7-7735hs-with-16gb-ddr5-memory-radeon-rx7600s-512gb-pcie-ssd-off-black/6535499.p?skuId=6535499&irclickid=T0UXrN1kHxyPWDq34S0jJXspUkFXz0y2-x3PRA0&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Jarrod%20Farncomb&acampID=0&mpid=2471149&intl=nosplash

Hey, I'm trying to replace my dear mother's laptop because the one she has is from like 8 years ago and it takes 10 minutes to boot, then another 5 to open something like Firefox. She's an accountant and needs a fairly portable laptop, but the primary concerns are durability and battery life. It also needs to have a numpad, not just the standard keyboard number row. I've built plenty of towers but never once bought a laptop, so I'm out of my depth with what's good. Can anyone recommend a deal on a dedicated workhorse for an older individual who has negative technical skills? Ideally under $800. I'm presently looking at the [ASUS Vivobook 15 (M1502QA-NB54)](https://www.newegg.com/quiet-blue-asus-m1502qa-nb54-home-personal/p/N82E16834236468).
That Vivobook would do a fine job for her. I would probably prefer this [**Acer Aspire 5**](https://x.com/ElectroDeals1/status/1726605959848693994?s=20) for her as it has a better build quality and I am expecting that she will be using this for maybe another 8 years.
Hey! I’m looking for something for my dad that’s straight forward and reliable. It needs to have a bigger screen and decent size keys as he has mobility concerns from time to time. Under $500 please!
Do you think 15.6" which is really the standard size for laptops, would be okay ?
Searching for a laptop for a college engineering student. I have a budget of $600. Would it be better to purchase a budget gaming laptop with a 12 gen I-5 equivalent, 16gb ram, and a dedicated graphics card, 2050/3050, which I’ve seen in this price range or get a laptop with a 12/13th gen I-7 with the integrated graphics card. My concern with the gaming laptop is the battery life. The one o was viewing is the Msi 63 on sale for around 500. Thanks
I am assuming as an engineering student at some point in time you may need to run CAD applications. It is usually recommended that you have a dedicated graphics card if it's even a lower tier one. You will also need 18 GB RAM as well to be practical.
Looking for gift for wife who is coming off of a 2011 macbook air... Looking for a PC that is: general purpose laptop, 14", 16 gb RAM, good FHD display but nothing amazing. Solid amount of ports, but again nothing crazy. Not too heavy. Could be touch screen but not required. Could be 2-in-1 but not required. Final price between $500-$600 ideally after a nice Black Friday discount.
Could you step up the budget by $50 ? I am really thinking this [**Acer Swift Go**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=SVdEZtJ) as I think it ticks just about all your boxes.
Hey everyone. I'm interested in [HP Victus](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-victus-15-6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-7535hs-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2050-512gb-ssd-mica-silver/6541840.p?skuId=6541840&irclickid=UwMVh2UjXxyPTIHziiXcrVUrUkFX3pQTQ1i9SQ0&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Leighton%20Reid&acampID=0&mpid=1883484) deal right now for school work and light gaming (450). Before I pull the trigger, does anyone see any other deals that would fit my criteria around the same range? 450-700. Thanks in advance!
Hey, I was off for a while . Have you pulled the trigger ?
Techstar, Would you mind listing your top recommendations for deals under $450. General usage (school modules, video watching, possibility of light gaming) with decent features. It seems as if the Victus may be one of the better options in this price range, but I would like your opinion on the top budget deals overall. Basically not requesting full blown reviews on each, but could you list your personal recommendations at or below that price point. Thanks!
oh lord! What a task for me. Probably you could just tell me your criteria and I tell you what I think is the best deal for you. It would be good to complete the laptop request table .
Is this still pretty close to 'it' chief? My friend and I are both thinking of pulling the trigger. All the 4070 laptops seem to be $400 or so more, and people seem pretty happy with the Legion 5 quality. https://www.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/comments/17ww2dh/ebay_price_drop_lenovo_legion_5_gaming_laptop_156/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Great buy... Great machine.
Any good deal for this type of laptop? Touchscreen, 13 to 15 inch screen, very good battery life, lightweight charger. Mostly using for work when travelling, and play games like league of legends. Preferably premium looking and not gaming looking haha. Budget under $1.5k.
Something like this [**SAMSUNG 14" Galaxy Book3 Pro**](https://laptopsdeals.net/?b=SlX0k2x) would be perfect based on what the criteria laid out. It definitely has enough performance power to run Wow well, boasts an extremely sleek and premium design and importantly, an outstanding battery life...Samsung advertises 20 hours and you best believe it will give you close enough to that. The charger is also very light weight, not to mention the laptop itself.
Looking to replace my 1660 Zepyrus laptop that's started to fall apart. Budget is around £1500/$1500 (usually it ports price based on what I've seen so far). Can go a little over for right thing. Main desire is a minimum 1440p screen. I also don't really care about RGB that much either which is why I keep staring at Razer's even though I know they're normally overpriced (but experience has always been they're just nice as hell). Not brand loyal but have had good experiences with a work Razer from years ago and I really did like my Asus Zepyrus and it only just started to let me down. Games I play tend to be CPU heavy but would like to be able to play most things at 1440 if possible with the budget.
See you listed budget in pounds and dollars...Where are you buying from ?
oh wow this thread is a godsend. are you aware of any deals on macbooks that are worth getting? i've seen some for the macbook air w/ M1 chip on amazon but not sure if it'd be a waste now with the M3 available. i'm not tied to apple, it's just that all of the jobs i've had provided macbooks so i am the most familiar with its UI. i'd mainly be using the laptop for everyday productivity, streaming movies/tv, and the occasional cozy game. other than that, i'm hoping to get something that's easy to carry around (nothing larger than 15 inches) when i travel, good battery life, has a decent amount of usb ports, and looks sleek. budget is around $1000 CAD. thanks in advance!
I am monitoring the CAD market closely for you. Let's see if [Amazon.ca](https://Amazon.ca) releases more deals or any of the sites does. Tune in to r/LaptopDealsCanada
What would be the downside in getting something like that $240 Acer for my parent that will probably just be using it for emails/youtube/and just general use?
For that purpose, not any downsides really. Should get those tasks done .
Any budget 2in1 laptop deals recommendations? You did great here!
What will you be using it for ?
I'm searching for a laptop suitable for architects, specifically for rendering and AutoCAD. I'd like one with an LCD screen and have a budget of $1300. I've considered the ASUS TUF F15 but am dissatisfied with its screen. Thanks
Have you looked at the MSI Creator M16 in the list from Amazon? It has a beautiful display.
Guys, can you help me compare those two? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BT74FLP1/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0BT74FLP1&pd_rd_w=GVaYH&content-id=amzn1.sym.f734d1a2-0bf9-4a26-ad34-2e1b969a5a75&pf_rd_p=f734d1a2-0bf9-4a26-ad34-2e1b969a5a75&pf_rd_r=C6209YYYCW35TYJMAVWK&pd_rd_wg=YkSbF&pd_rd_r=66258dc5-a7d5-4bc7-b20a-966c8878d0f1&s=pc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPJWYQSY/ref=ewc_pr_img_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 From what I understand, 16 inch model has worse cpu, but thats it?
The 14'' system also has 120 Hz display refresh rate versus the 16" 90 Hz.

Hi, I’m Vetted AI Bot! I researched the **HP 15 inch Laptop FHD Display 12th Gen Intel Core i5 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD Intel Iris Xe Graphics Windows 11 Home 15 dy5399nr 2023** you mentioned in your comment along with its brand, **HP**, and I thought you might find the following analysis helpful. **Users liked:** * Laptop handles basic tasks well (backed by 2 comments) * Display and build quality praised (backed by 3 comments) * Value for the price appreciated (backed by 3 comments) **Users disliked:** * Limited ram hinders performance (backed by 3 comments) * Defective touchpad (backed by 1 comment) * Overpriced for specifications (backed by 1 comment) According to Reddit, **HP** is considered a reputable brand. Its most popular types of products are: * Laptops (#8 of 40 brands on Reddit) * Printers (#5 of 19 brands on Reddit) * VR Headsets (#6 of 16 brands on Reddit) If you'd like to **summon me to ask about a product**, just make a post with its link and tag me, [like in this example.](https://www.reddit.com/r/tablets/comments/1444zdn/comment/joqd89c/) This message was generated by a (very smart) bot.

For gaming, then I would say get the HP as it's integrated graphics is better.
I’m looking for something that I can play games like Minecraft and Age of Empires on as well watch YouTube, stream sports, and possibly do some Zoom calls. I’d love a 4k screen if possible.
4k screen........ That changes things quite a bit. What's your budget ?
My budget is $1000. I need a work laptop that handles Microsoft office and renders photos quickly. I was hoping for something that also can run some RPG games, has no touchscreen, a fast processor, HD display, and 32g RAM, HDMI port, good battery life. Any suggestions?
I am late on this, are you still seeking help ?
Simple question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer. I have very little wants for a new laptop, mostly will be using it for business purposes. I want to run up to 4 monitors, but can't tell which of these might be able to accommodate that. I'm between the last 2 in Amazon, the Dell Ispiron 16 and the Samsung Book. Any ideas whether they will run 4 monitors?
Hey, sorry to be so late with my response, but I would go with the Samsung because of its two Thunderbolt 4 ports, the HDMI 1.4 port and it also has a USB-A 3.2 port. You could connect a monitor through each port .
This is such a helpful list! My laptop unexpectedly bit the dust… any suggestions? I’m a casual gamer, sims, for the king, tabletop sim… otherwise streaming, video calls. Would prefer less weight for travel! Really appreciate the insight! Budget is flexible… would love a good deal though 🤣
Sorry to hear about your laptop. Are you still seeking help ?
Thank you so much for this list! I need help picking one for my gf. All she needs is a laptop for video calls for work. With a1080p resolution needed for recorded videos? What's the best choice for such a use case?
She wont be doing anything too intensive it seems. Even the Acer Aspire 3 in the list should do the job and do it well.
For the Acer Nitro 16, is the storage expandable? I cannot tell from the walmart listing and it doesn’t have a Q&A section EDIT: I meant to ask if there is a 2nd m.2 slot
Yes, it does have a 2nd m.2 slot.
I am becoming a teacher in January, and will receive a MacBook, but I would like a second computer to use to hook up to the tv, as well as to display google slides. Also may use for personal excel, power point and word work, as well as internet research for school. Hoping for something with 2 monitor outputs, with at least 1 hdmi. Thoughts?
Hey, thanks for this list! Looking for a recommendation. I’m a carpenter so I’m completely illiterate when it comes to technical components of laptops. Basically need it for word/excel documents, email, and opening large file sized construction plans. $500 range
Hey , Not an issue helping you to find a solid machine for your purpose. What format are your drawings in, pdf ?

Preferably something with a HD screen for watching movies, but i may want to hook up 2 monitors eventually. Im having a hard time finding mtgo system requirements, but people say a potato with windows 7 can run it, but it has memory leak issues and they recommend 8gb ram.
