Black Friday 2024 has officially begun over at Best Buy, which is promising doorstopper deals every week up to Black Friday itself on Friday 29 November. The first batch released today includes some great Black Friday laptop deals, including a massive $550 off the Dell XPS 16 with Nvidia graphics, and highly portable 2-in-1 like the Lenovo Yoga 7i for as cheap as $899.99 $599.99!
I've trawled through all of the Best Buy Black Friday laptop deals live so far to pick out the highlights, including a laptop for every use case, from creative pros who need the power to run demanding software, to gaming laptops and value laptops for general use and commuting.
I've been reporting on tech deals during Black Friday for over five years, and I think some of these deals are as good as they're going to get this Black Friday (for more savings, make sure you're following our roundup of the best Black Friday laptop deals in general).
The 6 top Best Buy Black Friday laptops deals so far
Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED: was $1,299.99 now $1,199.99 at Best Buy
Save $500: Best Buy has an incredible price for a laptop with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card along with Intel Core Ultra 7 and 16GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD providing masses of storage space for large image or video files. This is the Best Buy Black Friday laptop deal I'd recommend if you're a semi pro or enthusiast content creator looking to improve performance with a dedicated GPU without breaking the bank.
Microsoft Surface Pro 11: was $1,499 now $1,199 at Best Buy
Save $300: For a more portable and versatile device, this is a tempting deal on the new Microsoft Surface Pro, which was only released in June. It's more viable than ever as a laptop alternative thanks to improved performance and a superb OLED display. It can be used as tablet for drawing or notetaking, or as a laptop with the optional keyboard, and the keyboard can now be used detached providing more flexibility.
This is the best price we've seen on the more powerful Snapdragon X Elite configuration with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD configuration. Best Buy has the same deal on a bundle with the keyboard.
Price comparison: $1,399 at Amazon

If you can make do with less power, there's also $300 off a Core Ultra 5 512GB configuration, now just $599.99! This is the Best Buy Black Friday laptop deal to grab if you need a device for general use and occasional creative work.
Apple MacBook Air 13 (M2): was $899 now $749 at Best Buy
Save $150: If you prefer Apple, this deal isn't new, and Amazon is matching it, but it's still a great price for a MacBook, and this 2022 M2 model has only ever been $50 cheaper. It's been superseded by this year's M3 model, but we find the new laptop to be a relatively iterative upgrade.

Save $150: Finally, if you're looking for a Black Friday gaming laptop deal, this is the best deal at Best Buy.
