Hoping to find a good Black Friday laptop deal this November? We've been tracking them for years, and our best advice is to do some research first. A little preparation before the sale can help you identify the right laptop deal for you when you see it – and that's exactly what we're here to help with.

This means that even though Black Friday isn't until 29 November, it's a good idea to choose your laptop ahead of time, or at least choose a few candidates to keep an eye on based on your requirements in terms of size, features and performance.
