Amazon Black Friday is here! These are the 9 laptop deals to consider

Save $250: This is the lowest price yet on this year's M4-chipped MacBook Air, and this deal is actually even better than that sounds because this isn't the original entry-level configuration, which had only 8GB of memory. This is a 16GB configuration, which is what Apple's now offering as standard as of this month. This price is for the 256GB SSD option, but there's also $250 off the other configurations.

Save $413.07: MSI makes some of the most powerful laptops around for gaming and content creation, and this is a prime example. We gave it 4.5 stars, and praised the slim build for its size as well as the powerful internals. This configuration packs an Intel Core Ultra 9 and Geforce RTX 4080 GPU with 32GB of RAM.

Save $300: Gamers who aren't ready for such a massive investment need look no further than this 16in beauty from Asus. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, Intel Core i7 and 16GB in the solid build we expect from Asus's ROG range.

Save $200: If you're looking for a more modest compact laptop for general productivity and entertainment, we think this is an ideal option for travel and commuting. It's one of the lightest laptops we've tested, and we gave it 4 stars in our review. This config boasts 16GB of memory and a 512SSD, which should cover most people's needs even for some creative work. The gorgeous OLED display is a bonus.

Save $135: If you're on a tighter budget, this laptop offers incredible value: Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD for under $800! The build isn't as premium as the Zenbook above, and colour accuracy isn't quite a good, but this is the best value Windows laptop around.

Save $200 (click the coupon box): Back to Apple, and Amazon even has deals on the new M4 MacBook Pros, which were only released on 8 November. These are so new, we haven't finished reviewing them yet, but we're seeing even better performance than last year's M3 models, and incredible battery life. There are similar deals on other configurations and also $300 off the larger 16-inch MacBook with a more powerful M4 Pro chip.

Save $320: Another record deal here. We suggested the innovative Zenbook Duo could be a contender for laptop of the year when we reviewed it back in March. The novel second display can be used in multiple configurations and orientations, making it a potential game changer for creatives who find themselves struggling to work across multiple panels. The internals are solid too.

Save $300 (25%): If you prefer the two-in-one convenience of a tablet that runs Windows and can turn into a laptop, Amazon also currently has the best US deal we've seen on this year's Surface Pro. Now with an OLED display, the Surface Pro can be used as a touchscreen tablet for drawing or notetaking, or as a laptop if you add the optional keyboard (both the pen and keyboard are sold separately).

Save $400: Finally, if you're after a laptop with one of the biggest screens around, Amazon has a big discount on an LG Gram 17. This packs last-gen Nvidia 3050 graphics but 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD.
