Not every Black Friday laptop deal is worth your time. Here's how to spot the best deals this month.
The thing about laptops is that the relationship between the various subsystems is pretty tight, and the options for upgrading are much more limited than they are with desktops. The key takeaway here is not to drop $1,500 on a gaming laptop that has an RTX 3060 at its heart when you know that sort of money can net you a much more powerful RTX 3070, though there's a little more to it than just the GPU.
When you are checking for a deal, a holistic approach is key. After the graphics card itself, check you're getting an up-to-date CPU—we wouldn't go any older than a 10th Gen Intel CPU with 13th Gen on the horizon. Ideally you want an 11th or 12th Gen model .Next up you need to look at the amount of memory on offer. Ideally, you want 16GB of RAM, preferably as 2x 8GB sticks, not just a single 16GB SODIMM.
As for storage, you want at least a 500GB NVMe SSD or larger. If we're writing our dream specs, then a 1TB drive, or even 2TB, would be preferable considering the size of games today, but you can usually upgrade that later on. I say usually because some laptops still come with soldered SSDs—honestly, is it not the year of our Lord 2022?
Whatever you're looking for, there are certainly going to be some good deals out there on gaming laptops. And as we get nearer to Black Friday, we expect some choice deals to appear. Just have a mind about how much you should pay for what's on offer, and you won't make a costly misstep. Buyer's remorse isn't a feeling to take into the holidays with you.Screw sports, Katie would rather watch Intel, AMD and Nvidia go at it.
