UPDATE: Nov. 24, 2022, 1:00 p.m. EST This story has been updated with Amazon’s latest and greatest laptop deals of Black Friday 2022. Here’s a quick overview:

Amazon can’t compete with Walmart on the extremely cheap (sub-$100) Chromebook front, but it’s still one of the absolute best places to find a laptop deal this holiday season.

The retail giant is already rolling out all-time-high discounts on higher-end Samsung Galaxy Books and Apple MacBooks (including Pro and Air configurations from earlier this year). Shoppers in search of a basic Chromebook for kids or school can find plenty of options in the $100 to $300 range, including a couple of ASUS machines that come with free Office 265 or Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Gaming laptop deals from brands like MSI and Razer are just starting to hit their stride on Amazon, and we’ll be keeping a close eye out for new gaming laptop deals being added.

One important thing to keep in mind as you peruse Amazon’s listings is that it loves to mess with laptops’ MSRPs (by either inflating or deflating them), often obscuring whether deals are actually good or not. You’ll want to cross-check any Amazon laptop deals with MSRPs on retailer sites.

If that all sounds like a lot of work, fret not: We’re going through all of Amazon’s early Black Friday laptop deals and picking out everything that’s actually worth buying based on true MSRPs and historical data from camelcamelcamel(Opens in a new tab), a price-tracking site we rely on for fact-checking these kinds of things.
