<div><p>Laptop deals are always plentiful on Black Friday, but it can be tricky to figure out which are actually good deals — much less decide which deal is the best for you and the notebook you're looking to buy. To make things easier, we've scoured the web's Black Friday laptop deals and collected the best of the bunch below. Our findings include noteworthy discounts on top <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:MacBooks;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-macbook-140032524.html">MacBooks</a>, <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:gaming laptops;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-gaming-laptops-172033838.html">gaming laptops</a>, <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Chromebooks;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-chromebooks-160054646.html">Chromebooks</a>, <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Windows ultrabooks;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-windows-laptop-130018256.html">Windows ultrabooks</a>, <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:budget models;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-budget-laptop-150038435.html">budget models</a> and more, so if you’re looking for a refresh, there should be something to suit your needs. It's worth noting that most deals you'll find are for pre-configured laptops; we recommend going straight to the manufacturer if you want to spec out your next machine to your heart's desire. But if you're willing to get a premade model, these Black Friday laptop deals could do the trick.</p><div> <p>Quick Overview</p><ul><li><div><p><img

Most are better off saving some cash and grabbing an Air with 16GB of RAM.</p><h2>Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch)</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M3 Pro);pid:amazon_B0CM5BL45N;aid:amazon_B0CM5BL45N;itemcost:$2,499;itmId:$2,299;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$2,299 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0CM5BL45N&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Apple+MacBook+Pro+%2816-inch%2C+M3+Pro%29&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0CM5BL45N&amp;brand=Apple&amp;price=2499.0&amp;salePrice=2299.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ001Qkw0NU4_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01NDYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAfXo0PMMjrN_v1rEOsWPnpNCVTJHXt8V0tDbCF42K2W6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/U8gKgxQdLp2ZOgBCHAJx4g--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/51639260-8a79-11ee-9bff-0a6598c46edc" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Devindra Hardawar/Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The larger MacBook Pro is also discounted just a few weeks after it was first released. </p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M3 Pro);pid:amazon_B0CM5BL45N;aid:amazon_B0CM5BL45N;itemcost:$2,499;itmId:$2,299;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$2,299 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0CM5BL45N&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Apple+MacBook+Pro+%2816-inch%2C+M3+Pro%29&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0CM5BL45N&amp;brand=Apple&amp;price=2499.0&amp;salePrice=2299.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ001Qkw0NU4_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01NDYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAfXo0PMMjrN_v1rEOsWPnpNCVTJHXt8V0tDbCF42K2W6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$2,299 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>The 16.2-inch <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:22;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:MacBook Pro;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:22;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ001Qkw0NU4_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTRlLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAf9BAx0KQMF2O20aLG_uxOizm9pz-Xb-EqHx3o_VTOhC&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CM5BL45N" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MacBook Pro</a> is discounted as well.

We’ve seen this deal a handful of times over the last few months, but it matches the lowest price we’ve seen. It’s really worth stepping up to the M2 Air if you can: It’ll get you a more modern design, a faster chip, a sharper webcam and improved speakers. The 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD in this config is only suitable for casual use, and this model will almost certainly be discontinued when we get the inevitable M3 refresh. But if you’re on a stricter budget and really want a MacBook, the M1 Air is still well-built, long-lasting and fast <em>enough</em> for the essentials.

You’re not getting the latest processor here, but this model is still performant enough for everyday work. The main issue here is port selection: There’s only two Thunderbolt 4 ports and no dedicated headphone jack. Still, if you can tolerate using a dongle every now and then, this is a good price for a high-quality ultrabook.</p><h2>Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus;pid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700797011832;aid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700797011832;itemcost:$499;itmId:$379;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$379 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Lenovo+IdeaPad+Flex+5i+Chromebook+Plus&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=Lenovo+&amp;price=499.0&amp;salePrice=379.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2xlbm92by1pZGVhcGFkLWZsZXgtNWktY2hyb21lYm9vay1wbHVzLWxhcHRvcC0xNC0yay10b3VjaC1pbnRlbC1pMy0xMzE1dS13aXRoLThnYi1tZW1vcnktaW50ZWwtdWhkLWdyYXBoaWNzLTEyOGdiLXNzZC1zdG9ybS1ncmV5LzY1NTA3MzYucD9za3VJZD02NTUwNzM2IiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAd_bbCZUcs1WNWNpu5objpnYAClW8I7jM2uRdXhLPx7I" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/CR0h92_DJ92A9KpfKJ3cqg--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/5d6ab6d0-86a3-11ee-8be7-4c5a13bc8797" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Lenovo</p></div></div><div><p>This discount takes 24 percent off the latest iteration of our favorite Chromebook for most people.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus;pid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700797011832;aid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700797011832;itemcost:$499;itmId:$379;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$379 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Lenovo+IdeaPad+Flex+5i+Chromebook+Plus&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=Lenovo+&amp;price=499.0&amp;salePrice=379.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2xlbm92by1pZGVhcGFkLWZsZXgtNWktY2hyb21lYm9vay1wbHVzLWxhcHRvcC0xNC0yay10b3VjaC1pbnRlbC1pMy0xMzE1dS13aXRoLThnYi1tZW1vcnktaW50ZWwtdWhkLWdyYXBoaWNzLTEyOGdiLXNzZC1zdG9ybS1ncmV5LzY1NTA3MzYucD9za3VJZD02NTUwNzM2IiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAd_bbCZUcs1WNWNpu5objpnYAClW8I7jM2uRdXhLPx7I" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$379 at Best Buy</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:30;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:30;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=5e0bed65-d2f8-4b34-9b8f-955218c0e37a&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2xlbm92by1pZGVhcGFkLWZsZXgtNWktY2hyb21lYm9vay1wbHVzLWxhcHRvcC0xNC0yay10b3VjaC1pbnRlbC1pMy0xMzE1dS13aXRoLThnYi1tZW1vcnktaW50ZWwtdWhkLWdyYXBoaWNzLTEyOGdiLXNzZC1zdG9ybS1ncmV5LzY1NTA3MzYucD9za3VJZD02NTUwNzM2IiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAd_bbCZUcs1WNWNpu5objpnYAClW8I7jM2uRdXhLPx7I&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Flenovo-ideapad-flex-5i-chromebook-plus-laptop-14-2k-touch-intel-i3-1315u-with-8gb-memory-intel-uhd-graphics-128gb-ssd-storm-grey%2F6550736.p%3FskuId%3D6550736" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus</a> is down to $379 at Best Buy, which is $120 off its list price. This is the latest iteration of the top pick in our Chromebook buying guide. Its 14-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS touchscreen is good for the money, and it's plenty fast for the web browsing and light work you'd do with Chrome OS. Both its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable, plus it comes with a decent 1080p webcam. This model comes with an Intel Core i3-1315U processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, one USB-A port, two USB-C 3.2 ports and a microSD card slot. The chassis isn't especially light at 3.6 pounds, and we found the battery to last roughly seven hours in testing, which is just OK. But for less than $400, this is a strong value.</p><h2>HP Pavilion Aero 13</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:HP Pavilion Aero 13;pid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797202036;aid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797202036;itemcost:$880;itmId:$550;sellerN:HP ;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$550 at HP ;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=HP+Pavilion+Aero+13&amp;merchantName=HP+&amp;brand=HP+&amp;price=879.99&amp;salePrice=550.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5ocC5jb20vdXMtZW4vc2hvcC9wZHAvaHAtcGF2aWxpb24tYWVyby1sYXB0b3AtMTMtYmUyMDQ3bnIiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAX1U3jDb5Ie-r2zjc8qv7UlGuU8VB6eyg232gwOZ35Fz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/1YJuU1m6RY8finXq_J.pOQ--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/ed5afb30-8a7a-11ee-bd8c-2dcab5b1b06a" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Daniel Cooper / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The lightweight Pavilion Aero 13 is a solid option for budget buyers when it's discounted to this extent.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:HP Pavilion Aero 13;pid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797202036;aid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797202036;itemcost:$880;itmId:$550;sellerN:HP ;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$550 at HP ;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=HP+Pavilion+Aero+13&amp;merchantName=HP+&amp;brand=HP+&amp;price=879.99&amp;salePrice=550.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5ocC5jb20vdXMtZW4vc2hvcC9wZHAvaHAtcGF2aWxpb24tYWVyby1sYXB0b3AtMTMtYmUyMDQ3bnIiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAX1U3jDb5Ie-r2zjc8qv7UlGuU8VB6eyg232gwOZ35Fz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$550 at HP </a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:HP Store;elmt:;cpos:31;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:HP Pavilion Aero 13;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:HP Store;elmt:;cpos:31;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=8a0e8870-4cf8-4bda-935c-af7c00c28e2b&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=HP+Store&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5ocC5jb20vdXMtZW4vc2hvcC9wZHAvaHAtcGF2aWxpb24tYWVyby1sYXB0b3AtMTMtYmUyMDQ3bnIiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAX1U3jDb5Ie-r2zjc8qv7UlGuU8VB6eyg232gwOZ35Fz&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hp.com%2Fus-en%2Fshop%2Fpdp%2Fhp-pavilion-aero-laptop-13-be2047nr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HP Pavilion Aero 13</a> is down to $550 for a model with an AMD Ryzen 5 7535U processor, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. This notebook goes on sale fairly often, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen for this config. The Pavilion Aero 13 is the top Windows pick in our budget laptop buying guide. It’s impressively light (2.2 pounds) and slim (0.67 inches) for the money, while its 13.3-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display is sufficiently bright and colorful. It comes with a solid backlit keyboard and the essential ports as well. It’s still a budget laptop, so it doesn’t have the sturdiest chassis, and it’s saddled with a 720p webcam. You’ll also have to navigate some bloatware. But if you want a cheaper notebook that doesn’t totally sacrifice aesthetics, it’s a decent option.</p><h2>ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14;pid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797251572;aid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797251572;itemcost:$1,600;itmId:$1,200;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$1,200 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=ASUS+ROG+Zephyrus+G14&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=ASUS+&amp;price=1599.99&amp;salePrice=1200.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2FzdXMtcm9nLXplcGh5cnVzLWcxNC0xNC0xNjVoei1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLXFoZC1hbWQtcnl6ZW4tOS13aXRoLTE2Z2ItbWVtb3J5LW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLTUxMmdiLXNzZC1tb29ubGlnaHQtd2hpdGUvNjUzNTQ5NS5wP3NrdUlkPTY1MzU0OTUiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAbe9fvTY2VoAMR8z0wQsqG3MqAaI4GREbkeRoq0UySI5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/R.KVi7dXfidsifWt_KlFLw--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/d11faee0-6f52-11ee-b9bf-65db79fd23b0" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>ASUS</p></div></div><div><p>This Black Friday deal matches the lowest price we've seen for this version of our favorite gaming laptop for most people.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14;pid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797251572;aid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797251572;itemcost:$1,600;itmId:$1,200;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$1,200 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=ASUS+ROG+Zephyrus+G14&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=ASUS+&amp;price=1599.99&amp;salePrice=1200.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2FzdXMtcm9nLXplcGh5cnVzLWcxNC0xNC0xNjVoei1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLXFoZC1hbWQtcnl6ZW4tOS13aXRoLTE2Z2ItbWVtb3J5LW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLTUxMmdiLXNzZC1tb29ubGlnaHQtd2hpdGUvNjUzNTQ5NS5wP3NrdUlkPTY1MzU0OTUiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAbe9fvTY2VoAMR8z0wQsqG3MqAaI4GREbkeRoq0UySI5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$1,200 at Best Buy</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:32;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:32;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=5e0bed65-d2f8-4b34-9b8f-955218c0e37a&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2FzdXMtcm9nLXplcGh5cnVzLWcxNC0xNC0xNjVoei1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLXFoZC1hbWQtcnl6ZW4tOS13aXRoLTE2Z2ItbWVtb3J5LW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLTUxMmdiLXNzZC1tb29ubGlnaHQtd2hpdGUvNjUzNTQ5NS5wP3NrdUlkPTY1MzU0OTUiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAbe9fvTY2VoAMR8z0wQsqG3MqAaI4GREbkeRoq0UySI5&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fasus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14-165hz-gaming-laptop-qhd-amd-ryzen-9-with-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-512gb-ssd-moonlight-white%2F6535495.p%3FskuId%3D6535495" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14</a> is available for $1,200 at Best Buy for a configuration with a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. That matches the lowest price we’ve seen and takes $400 off ASUS’ list price. This model also has a 14-inch 1440p display with a 165Hz refresh rate. The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the top overall recommendation in our guide to the best gaming laptops. It’s a compact notebook that’s plenty capable for triple-A gaming but doesn’t totally sacrifice the “laptopâ€ part of the phrase “gaming laptop.â€ It’s relatively light and portable at 3.6 pounds, and its keyboard and trackpad both work well. Its 720p webcam could stand to be sharper, though.</p><h2>MSI Stealth 14 Studio</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:MSI Stealth 14 Studio;pid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797357388;aid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797357388;itemcost:$1,500;itmId:$1,100;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$1,100 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=MSI+Stealth+14+Studio&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=MSI+&amp;price=1499.99&amp;salePrice=1100.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL21zaS1zdGVhbHRoLTE0LTE2NWh6LWZoZC1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLWludGVsLWNvcmUtaTctMTM2MjBoLW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLXdpdGgtMTZnYi1yYW0tYW5kLTF0Yi1zc2QtYmx1ZS82NTM0NTgwLnA_c2t1SWQ9NjUzNDU4MCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZDg1ZDE3NWUtZGUzYi00MmFlLTg4MjItMTk4NWRjZWRiYjMyIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAbvvp6PlHZsycPX1ATWl-u_L5VxW1R0PdQJP8k7Qx01m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/nWYjieYPIZwM4REaz7DGfw--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/5718cf80-6eaf-11ee-aad8-68fbccc5756d" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Sam Rutherford / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>We recommend the portable yet powerful Stealth 14 Studio in our guide to the best Windows laptops.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:MSI Stealth 14 Studio;pid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797357388;aid:manual_cd5c8114-c9c6-4945-98af-329629cdd60c_1700797357388;itemcost:$1,500;itmId:$1,100;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$1,100 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=MSI+Stealth+14+Studio&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=MSI+&amp;price=1499.99&amp;salePrice=1100.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL21zaS1zdGVhbHRoLTE0LTE2NWh6LWZoZC1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLWludGVsLWNvcmUtaTctMTM2MjBoLW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLXdpdGgtMTZnYi1yYW0tYW5kLTF0Yi1zc2QtYmx1ZS82NTM0NTgwLnA_c2t1SWQ9NjUzNDU4MCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZDg1ZDE3NWUtZGUzYi00MmFlLTg4MjItMTk4NWRjZWRiYjMyIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAbvvp6PlHZsycPX1ATWl-u_L5VxW1R0PdQJP8k7Qx01m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$1,100 at Best Buy</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:33;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:MSI Stealth 14 Studio;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:33;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=5e0bed65-d2f8-4b34-9b8f-955218c0e37a&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL21zaS1zdGVhbHRoLTE0LTE2NWh6LWZoZC1nYW1pbmctbGFwdG9wLWludGVsLWNvcmUtaTctMTM2MjBoLW52aWRpYS1nZWZvcmNlLXJ0eC00MDYwLXdpdGgtMTZnYi1yYW0tYW5kLTF0Yi1zc2QtYmx1ZS82NTM0NTgwLnA_c2t1SWQ9NjUzNDU4MCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZDg1ZDE3NWUtZGUzYi00MmFlLTg4MjItMTk4NWRjZWRiYjMyIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAbvvp6PlHZsycPX1ATWl-u_L5VxW1R0PdQJP8k7Qx01m&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fmsi-stealth-14-165hz-fhd-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-13620h-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-with-16gb-ram-and-1tb-ssd-blue%2F6534580.p%3FskuId%3D6534580" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MSI Stealth 14 Studio</a> is another gaming laptop we like, and right now Best Buy has it for $1,100. This model includes a Core i7-13620H chip, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an RTX 4060 GPU and a 14-inch 1,920 x 1,200 display with a 165Hz refresh rate. We gave the Stealth 14 Studio a <a data-i13n="cpos:34;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:score of 87;cpos:34;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/msi-stealth-14-studio-review-a-redesign-done-right-123028890.html">score of 87</a> in our review this past June; like the ROG Zephyrus G14, it’s light for a gaming laptop (3.75 pounds) and offers capable performance for everyday gaming. This config is a lower-end model than the one we reviewed — it has a slightly slower CPU and its display isn’t as sharp or fast — but the gist is the same. Its biggest flaws are its middling 720p webcam and the fact that it can run hot under load. It’s still a gaming laptop, so battery life isn’t amazing either.</p><p>Whether you should get this config over the ROG Zephyrus G14 deal above comes down to whether you can sacrifice a higher-res display for more storage space. The G14 has more ports as well, though the Stealth 14 Studio includes a Thunderbolt 4 port, which may be important if you ever plan on connecting an external GPU.</p><h2>Dell G15 5530 Gaming Laptop</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Dell G15 5535 Gaming Laptop;pid:amazon_B0CJGBMD42;aid:amazon_B0CJGBMD42;itemcost:$1,150;itmId:$900;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$900 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0CJGBMD42&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Dell+G15+5535+Gaming+Laptop&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0CJGBMD42&amp;brand=Dell&amp;price=1149.99&amp;salePrice=899.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0pHQk1ENDI_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01NDYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAARrprX4DR_Tbw-rfaNqOSepKZ8mS9hgXjYleHLaWMJNC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/6VbztGpBmz.kCtTbptNGKg--~B/aD01NzY7dz0xMDI0O2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/c374b440-8a7b-11ee-97f5-618093833612" height="576" width="1024"></img></a></p><p>Dell</p></div></div><div><p>The Dell G15 is the top budget pick in our guide to the best gaming laptops.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Dell G15 5535 Gaming Laptop;pid:amazon_B0CJGBMD42;aid:amazon_B0CJGBMD42;itemcost:$1,150;itmId:$900;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$900 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0CJGBMD42&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Dell+G15+5535+Gaming+Laptop&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0CJGBMD42&amp;brand=Dell&amp;price=1149.99&amp;salePrice=899.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0pHQk1ENDI_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01NDYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAARrprX4DR_Tbw-rfaNqOSepKZ8mS9hgXjYleHLaWMJNC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$900 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>A version of <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:35;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Dell’s G15 5530 Gaming Laptop;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:35;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0pHQk1ENDI_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTRlLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAWmL_z3gNvaJHfAnGXLi9fLNjwP3K77bOQLAfWs4xTTy&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CJGBMD42" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dell’s G15 5530 Gaming Laptop</a> with a Ryzen 7 7840HS processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, an RTX 4060 GPU and a 15.6-inch, 1080p, 165Hz display is down to $900 at Amazon.

Nobody would call this affordable, but it’s still 20 percent off Dell’s list price and the lowest price we’ve seen outside of special offers. The m18 is another pick from our gaming laptops guide: It’s too huge to be truly portable and weighs nearly nine pounds, but the giant screen is nice for taking in games, it’s sturdily built and it can consistently run demanding titles at high frame rates. It’s also upgradeable, plus it has a wide array of ports. You’ll want to keep it near a charger, though, and it’s far from the quietest notebook we’ve used.</p><h2>Razer Blade 15</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Razer Blade 15 ;pid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797932685;aid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797932685;itemcost:$2,499;itmId:$2,099;sellerN:B&amp;H;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$2,099 at B&amp;H;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Razer+Blade+15+&amp;merchantName=B%26H&amp;brand=Razer+&amp;price=2499.0&amp;salePrice=2099.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaHBob3RvdmlkZW8uY29tL2MvcHJvZHVjdC8xNzQ4ODE3LVJFRy9yYXplcl9yejA5XzA0ODV5ZWQzX3IzdTFfMTVfNl9yYXplcl9ibGFkZV8xNS5odG1sIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAb9DlAmNRaonnZWXlXHY9ypGI6RLNucPc_xLU7Qnecgt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/q_0waMZXyQPe050coXa3Bw--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/9d3f8e70-8a7c-11ee-bb76-86278f4373d7" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Will Lipman Photography for Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The Blade 15 is a worthwhile gaming laptop for those willing to pay extra for a more premium design. </p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Razer Blade 15 ;pid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797932685;aid:manual_d85d175e-de3b-42ae-8822-1985dcedbb32_1700797932685;itemcost:$2,499;itmId:$2,099;sellerN:B&amp;H;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$2,099 at B&amp;H;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Razer+Blade+15+&amp;merchantName=B%26H&amp;brand=Razer+&amp;price=2499.0&amp;salePrice=2099.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaHBob3RvdmlkZW8uY29tL2MvcHJvZHVjdC8xNzQ4ODE3LVJFRy9yYXplcl9yejA5XzA0ODV5ZWQzX3IzdTFfMTVfNl9yYXplcl9ibGFkZV8xNS5odG1sIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAb9DlAmNRaonnZWXlXHY9ypGI6RLNucPc_xLU7Qnecgt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$2,099 at B&amp;H</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:B&amp;H Photo;elmt:;cpos:38;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Razer Blade 15;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:B&amp;H Photo;elmt:;cpos:38;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=95276f3c-7b79-4c1e-803f-981cd9f7a968&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=B%26H+Photo&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaHBob3RvdmlkZW8uY29tL2MvcHJvZHVjdC8xNzQ4ODE3LVJFRy9yYXplcl9yejA5XzA0ODV5ZWQzX3IzdTFfMTVfNl9yYXplcl9ibGFkZV8xNS5odG1sIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAb9DlAmNRaonnZWXlXHY9ypGI6RLNucPc_xLU7Qnecgt&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fc%2Fproduct%2F1748817-REG%2Frazer_rz09_0485yed3_r3u1_15_6_razer_blade_15.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Razer Blade 15</a> is down to $2,100 at B&amp;H and <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Newegg;elmt:;cpos:39;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Newegg;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Newegg;elmt:;cpos:39;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=6ce976db-26d7-4094-a1be-4d1496b213f0&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Newegg&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uZXdlZ2cuY29tL2JsYWNrLXJhemVyLWJsYWRlLTE1LXJ6MDktMDQ4NXllZDMtcjN1MS1nYW1pbmcvcC9OODJFMTY4MzQzMjYwOTgiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImQ4NWQxNzVlLWRlM2ItNDJhZS04ODIyLTE5ODVkY2VkYmIzMiJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAYb1GcD9wmMx2ZHJXQX31fw0MuXCXOJXv9kpKOmykIsP&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fblack-razer-blade-15-rz09-0485yed3-r3u1-gaming%2Fp%2FN82E16834326098" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Newegg</a> for a config with a Core i7-13800H, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an RTX 4060 GPU and a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1440p resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. That’s $400 off and the lowest price we’ve seen for this 2023 model. The Blade 15 is the high-end pick in our gaming laptop buying guide. This model is powerful enough to play most modern games at high settings in 1080p or 1440p, but the main reason to buy any Blade is its design, which is slimmer and generally more premium than most gaming notebooks. Just don’t expect it to last super long on a charge or stay especially cool under load.

The big hook is its hinged touch display, which lets the bottom of the screen pivot and tilt over the keyboard like an easel for digital artists. We found the 14.4-inch, 2,400 x 1,600 resolution panel to look great more generally, while its battery life, build quality and overall performance all impressed as well. It’s slightly bulkier than competing models, and it’s still expensive even at this price, but this deal makes it a little more approachable for those who like the hinged design and want a laptop for media editing.</p><h2>Microsoft Surface Pro 9</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Microsoft Surface Pro 9 + Surface Pro Keyboard;pid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700798113267;aid:manual_5f50d2d2-e16e-4e5c-b825-534c7b94d183_1700798113267;itemcost:$1,540;itmId:$1,000;sellerN:Best Buy;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$1,000 at Best Buy;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Microsoft+Surface+Pro+9+%2B+Surface+Pro+Keyboard&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;brand=Microsoft&amp;price=1539.99&amp;salePrice=1000.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL21pY3Jvc29mdC1zdXJmYWNlLXByby05LTEzLXRvdWNoLXNjcmVlbi1pbnRlbC1jb3JlLWk1LTE2Z2ItbWVtb3J5LTI1NmdiLXNzZC13aXRoLXN1cmZhY2UtcHJvLWtleWJvYXJkLWdyYXBoaXRlLzY1NjA1OTkucD9za3VJZD02NTYwNTk5IiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkODVkMTc1ZS1kZTNiLTQyYWUtODgyMi0xOTg1ZGNlZGJiMzIifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAUnzZJ5NxPpCMxGLdkYn3OXM1bW7-9o-bdO3TyKCWFY9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/3tjkm44FAwfJ6ftNr4U_Pw--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/661f3390-8a7d-11ee-bcbc-332cdf26164f" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Devindra Hardawar / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The Surface Pro 9 is top pick in our guide to the best 2-in-1 laptops.
