Here at the Tom's Community, we love tech. We also love bargains. And Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best days of the year to score the best tech at rock-bottom prices!

We know that our readers are some of the most savvy around, and that you'll know about some of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals before anyone else. We also believe that everyone should get a chance to score great tech bargains (the Holidays are expensive, after all!). This thread is a place for everyone to share the best deals they find and save their fellow Tom's Community members lots and lots of money.

Instead of all of us searching the entirety of the web to save some sweet, sweet Hamiltons, Jacksons and Benjamins, this thread is a centralized place to share the deals that you find.

You'll find a thread like this in most of the major sections of the forums on Tom's Hardware and Tom's Guide, so there will be a place for every deal!

Please follow these guidelines when posting:

In each post...
• Include a link (and coupon code, if you need one)
• Tell us what item the deal is for
• Tell us the price of the deal. How good of a deal is it?
• Is it online, in store, or both?

What's a deal?
• A deep discount on a product. 10-50%, or even more!
• An unexpected, substantial bargain. When something is on sale for less than you'd imagine
• When you get something of value in addition to the actual purchase


When deals get old, moderators or curators will be able to strikeout expired deals. If you see an outdated deal, let us know.

Most importantly, if you see a deal, share it! If we all share the best deals, we're going to save a lot of money on gifts for others... and ourselves, too!

In this thread, please post the best deals you can find on laptops.
 
[strike]$50 credit for AMEX cardholders who spends at least $250 at HP.com by November 21st. You need a Twitter account to get the $50 credit on your statement which could take up to 90 days.

Who looks at Staples?


... me.

Toshiba Satellite L55-C5272 is half off if you're willing to comply with a mail-in rebate and trade-in savings. It's still $150 off if you just want the instant savings.

What sites would you all watch if you were looking for the following:

Max price $700
Laptop with 1080p, 15" or larger screen
Discreet graphics card
8+gb ram
intel i5 or i7

I'm seeing a few MSI and ASUS laptops around $900 that fit the bill but I'm hoping to find a black friday deal that gets them or something like them to my $700 price point. I assume I should just watch New Egg?

Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy and even manufacturer sites. That being said, $700 would be extremely cheap for a laptop with those specs, and you may be hard-pressed to find something like that in your budget.

Have that exact laptop, FO4 results:
System Specifications #5
Operating System: Windows 10 Home - 64-bit
Processor and Speed: Intel Core i5-6300HQ @ 2.3GHz
RAM and Speed: 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3-1600GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 960m 4GB

Can I play the game - Yes/No: Yes
What Resolution am I set at: 1920x1080
What are my avg FPS: Ultra Preset (vsync off): Avg: 30.650 - Min: 20 - Max: 52
What are my avg FPS: Medium Preset (vsync off): Avg: 50.483 - Min: 34 - Max: 99
What are my avg FPS: Low Preset (vsync on): Avg: 58.967 - Min: 57 - Max: 63

For mobile gaming option to accompany a main gaming PC it's pretty good. If you're not a stuck up graphics snob it's also good, and if you're willing to play with the settings for the perfect match it's pretty buck wild.
