I've covered Black Friday laptop deals for 10 years — here are the best sales worth your money

Lowest price! What the HP OmniBook X lacks in style it more than makes up in substance thanks to its fast performance and exceptional battery life. Though an OLED option would’ve been nice, its 14-inch display delivers sharp and clear images, while its touchscreen gives you added versatility for work.

In our MacBook Air M3 review, we gave this laptop an Editor's Choice award because of its versatility, battery life and performance.

If you want a Windows laptop with MacBook-level battery life, then look no further than the Snapdragon X-powered Dell XPS 13.

At this price, it's an absolute steal.

In our MacBook Air 15-inch M3 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop delivers fantastic performance from its M3 chip along with class-leading battery life (15:03).
