When will Black Friday laptop deals start this year?
Black Friday falls on November 26, 2021. That is the day plenty of deals will go live and there will be flash events to cover all of your bases. But you can bet that many of them will start earlier. Plenty of discounts start in the weeks leading up, some of them as early as October, so just a few weeks away. So we expect to start hearing about some of these very shortly. Everyone saw that, at Apple's California Streaming event, there were no mentions of a new MacBook. But, with Apple announcing a new event, Unleashed, we are going to be getting information on the MacBook Pro M1X. We will have to find out next Monday more about this.
Last year, the MacBook Pro with an Apple M1 chip was discounted for the first time for Black Friday. You might find some of the best Black Friday laptop deals before Black Friday even comes. There are plenty of deals right now, including some you can find at Amazon.
It can be tricky to figure out when they might strike. If you've had your eye on a specific laptop, you're likely going to be following it and its price for months. As the time nears October and November, you may see a drop in that price. How do you know if you should grab it or wait to see if it drops even more? It's really a waiting game and whether or not you feel comfortable getting it at a certain price.
How to get the best Black Friday laptop deals?
Getting the best laptop deals is all about pouncing when the time is right. You'll notice some deals, especially at places like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Target, and then the manufacturers themselves. You're going to be signing up for email alerts for when laptop sales are going on. Some of them have already started, like Walmart and Best Buy are letting you know that these are coming out soon. Amazon has started its options too, with the Epic Deals portion of its site.
You're going to want to find something that comes with all the features that you want. The amount of memory, the video card, and the space that you require are musts. Figuring out the specs for your computer should be a top priority. Also, you definitely will need to decide whether a laptop or desktop makes the most sense for you.
Once you have all of that figured out, you'll be able to shop more easily. Before the sales start is the time to narrow down what kind of laptop you may want. That way, when you see the laptop for you, you can snag it before it runs out of stock.
Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday deals
Cyber Monday falls on November 29, 2021. It used to be called Cyber Monday because you could only get the deals online. But now, with more people shopping online than ever before, you're going to find a lot of great deals on both days. Now that we're under two months away, it's time to take it seriously and keep an eye out for the deals.
Which is the better one for buying a laptop is really up to where you want to buy it from. The manufacturers are likely to be tossing out major electronic deals on Cyber Monday that may be better than Black Friday. For example, HP always has a massive Cyber Monday on laptops after having a big sale on Black Friday. But there are certain laptops they only put on sale on Cyber Monday.
Last year's Black Friday offerings
As we mentioned earlier, the MacBook Pro M1 had its first discount around Black Friday last year. Some of the big names for laptops like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, and more will have big sales again. Narrowing down which one is right for you makes all the sense before the sales happen.
