Black Friday/Cyber Monday Laptop

[dixon222street]

I'm looking for a laptop under 700 us dollars, it doesn't have to be a gaming laptop but I would prefer it to have a decent gpu. Specifically, I would like a sleek, good looking laptop that can also preform decently for it's price range. Anyone know of good deals on this black Friday/cyber monday?

Edit: Ok so I was looking around a bit and so far this is the best deal I've found, idk if I should hold off until a later date, or maybe there is a better deal...but here: https/m.newegg.com/products/N82E16834860846

Acer Swift 3 with 8th gen i5, mx150 graphics (enough for most games, won't play AAA at high though). And a smaller 14" form factor. I also prefer glass displays myself not sure what your preferences are.

Too bad it's $719 now as it was $680 a day ago, maybe it'll drop again for BF or CM. Hard to get 8th gen CPU, dGPU as well as a slim macbook-like form factor for that price.

See, I like the specs, but the looks of the laptop aren't attractive... is there anything like this but that looks more like the acer swift 3 sever recommended?

I like the way this laptop is looking right now, I have it booked and will consider it. Thanks for your response! (I'm just waiting to see if it drops in price or another better deal comes around.)

I was going to purchase the swift 3, but found the new Lenovo Ideapad 720s with i7-8550u, same MX150 graphics. But with a slim bezel design so the notebook is actually only 12.5x0.6"(ish) chassis. It's a little more expensive though around $900 USD.

There isn't tons of benefit from i5 8250u to i7 8550u, but the form factor and thin bezel is what made me lean towards the Lenovo.

Yeah 900 dollars is out of my price range, 700 is the max I can go to. So far the swift looks the best to me.

I can say I tested the swift in person at bestbuy and really did like the build quality. I have not tested the 720s in person so we'll see when it gets here if I f'd up or not haha.
