Black Friday deals are already live, so why not consider a new laptop? Here’s what I’d buy as an expert

It’s hard to believe that Black Friday deals are already live at several retailers in the UK, but it’s true. Currys, Argos, and John Lewis are just a few of the big names that have launched early seasonal sales this week – and naturally, that includes thousands of laptops.

Where to start? Well, luckily, I’ve been looking through thousands of listings this week, and I’ve already found great prices on laptops we’d recommend at TechRadar.

You can see my editor’s picks just down below, including everything from super-cheap Chromebooks to high-end gaming laptops and Apple MacBooks. For ease of use, I’ve split my choices out into cheap, premium, and gaming laptops, so please feel free to scroll through based on what you’re looking for.

Highlights include a huge £400 discount on this Snapdragon-equipped Microsoft Surface laptop at Currys, a MacBook Air M2 for just £699 at Argos, and this budget-friendly £599 gaming laptop at Very. Read more about these choices, and others, just down below.
