Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

Whether you're looking for a mainstream laptop or a powerful gaming PC, we've got some early Black Friday deals to share with you.

One of our favorite gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix G16, is currently 17% off at Walmart for Black Friday. This model features an elegant design, with a customizable backlit keyboard and light strip underneath the trackpad. The modern hardware delivers years’ worth of high-end gameplay, and you can save $300 on the laptop right now.

Check out our Deals page for more discounts on our favorite Wirecutter picks. I’ve covered Black Friday sales for Wirecutter since 2016, vetting hundreds of thousands of bombastic bargain claims and navigating seas of mediocre “blowout” TV deals.

Practically every retailer is pushing its Black Friday deals right now. Normally, I'd recommend people wait till Thanksgiving Week to make any big purchases, but this year I'm telling friends and family to start their holiday shopping now.

All kinds of Lenovo laptops are on sale for Cyber Monday, so whether you're a student, a work-from-home employee, or a gamer, there's an offer waiting for you.

What's better than spending time off during the holiday playing new video games? Two things. Not having to wait until and not having to pay top prices for the best hardware out there!
