Our Definitive List of the 180 Black Friday Deals

We have scoured the entire internet to make a definitive list of the best Black Friday deals on gear we've tested and approved. Black Friday may have been two days ago, but almost all the best bargains are still going strong today. Across the web, you'll find people recommending devices they've never actually used at prices that aren't discounted. WIRED's list of the best Black Friday deals is not like that. Everything on this list has been hands-on tested by a member of our Reviews team and is recommended as worth the money at full price. But you won't pay full price, as all these items are also actually cheaper than you'll find them the rest of the year. For $500, this Dell Windows laptop is actually . The resolution is 2560 by 1600, with decent color accuracy and brightness. The battery life is downright impressive. And the touchpad, which is an area where many budget laptops compromise, actually feels smooth and responsive. This is something no other Windows laptop can pull off. The only catch is that it's a Doorbuster-style sale on Dell's own site, meaning once they sell out at this price, this discount will disappear. The Surface Laptop is the MacBook of the Windows world, and the seventh edition has a brilliant display and great battery life. It's normally priced at $1,000, but you can save 20 percent on Black Friday. Weighing only 2.16 pounds, it's one of the lightest laptops you can buy, without making any major sacrifices to achieve that weight. This incredibly compact, powerful little laptop works just as well for studying, content creation, and work as it does for gaming. Chromebooks under $300 tend to compromise in the display and touchpad. Not the Acer Chromebook Plus 516, and this is a fantastic deal on it. The M4 MacBook Air came out in early 2024, and it's remained the best laptop you can buy. The price has slowly dropped, too.
