The best early Black Friday gaming laptop deals
Should you buy now? Here are my tips
- Check for price guarantees
- Research price history, if possible
I’ve laid out a few points above under the assumption you already know what level of gaming laptop you’re going for. If you have no idea about what specs you need, then definitely check out our best gaming laptops buyer’s guide, which includes an extensive “how to choose” section that lays out exactly what you should be looking for.
If you have a solid idea of what to buy, then the standard advice for buying Black Friday deals early applies here. First up, I always make sure to check that there are solid price guarantees in place at the retailer so I don’t get undercut down the line. Both Newegg and Best Buy have guarantees right now, so they’re two of the better options if you’re shopping early.
Another thing I usually check is whether a product is at a record-low price. That can be tricky for some retailers, but as TechRadar’s retail editor, I usually keep my own records for reference. I’ve double-checked everything on this page, but if you’re doing your own shopping this November, it’s worth doing a proper Google Search for the product in question, as many editorial sites run news stories on deals – like the one I wrote earlier this year on the Asus TUF A15.
