If you've been waiting all year to buy a new laptop, it's time to pounce. We're seeing some deep discounts on laptops we like from Asus, Dell, and Samsung.

Take the sleek new Microsoft Surface Laptop: it's our pick for best battery life laptop of 2024 and it's currently $355 off at Amazon. There's also the iconic Apple MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, on sale for just $844, one of the lowest prices we've seen.

As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.
