Having a reliable way to access the internet, get work done on the go, and, you know, play the Sims for days on end is kind of a necessity in this day and age. But reliable laptops are pricy, and the cheap ones fall apart so quickly that replacing them becomes an annual expense.聽
Luckily, Black Friday always has some killer deals on laptops. We've already rounded up our聽, told you聽, and called out some great sales on laptops at聽聽in particular, but we thought we'd give anyone looking to score a new laptop during聽Black Friday sales a head start.

With a solid 4/5 rating on PC Mag (whose reviewers dubbed it "excellent") and a crazy-low price point to boot, this is one of the hottest buys of the season. While its small size and low storage capacity aren't going to be a selling point for anyone who聽relies heavily on apps like Photoshop or Adobe Premiere聽for work, if you're looking for an ultra portable, no-frills laptop that can get you online, responding to emails, stalking your ex's trip to Maui on Facebook, and running a basic word processor, this is聽a deal you'll want to scoop on next week.

Price-wise, this is as good as you're gonna get for a MacBook Air with those specs. While Best Buy is also offering a slightly less suped-up model of this laptop for $799.99 (down from $999.99), as our聽, anyone in the market for a MacBook Air likely needs to start at 256GB. While this is pretty minuscule discount, it's a still DISCOUNT ON AN APPLE PRODUCT which is about as rare as a Thanksgiving dinner without any political infighting.
