I’ve tested over a dozen laptops in 2025 and these are my top picks for Black Friday

A reliable laptop is one of the best investments you can make. And if you’ve been searching websites and e-commerce sites for the best deals on laptops, I’ve rounded up two of my favorite deals for you.

Asus ZenBook A14 (45% off)

Let’s start with the Asus ZenBook A14. Normally priced at a flat $999, this sleek laptop is currently $550 at Best Buy, a significant 45% drop from its sticker price. At this price, this is one of the most compelling Windows laptop deals on the market.

One of the lightest Windows laptops on the market, this one features a beautiful metal construction with a unique surface texture and an eye-catching finish. Yes, it’s about the MacBook Air, but not without substance.

The ZenBook A14 offers a much better (and more diverse) port selection than its Apple competitor, a nice keyboard and, thanks to a 2K OLED screen, a real visual treat. At the top of the panel is an infrared camera sensor for Windows Hello biometric facial unlocking.

At its heart is a fast Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus silicon, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This combination performed well in our tests. Additionally, it is a Copilot+ machine, which means it supports numerous AI features on the device.

The ZenBook A14 also impressed with its battery life and easily lasted a whole working day. All in all, the Asus ZenBook A14, with its discounted price of $550, is the best choice if you’re looking for an everyday device that’s both chic and stylish.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (32% off)

If you’re looking for a device that’s a bit more powerful and can handle both work and play, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is one of the most respected options on the market. The regular asking price is $1,799.99, but as part of the Black Friday deals, this one is currently available in the US for $1,299.99.

Just in case you’re wondering, this is a few hundred dollars cheaper than the M5 MacBook Pro and offers a ton of significant benefits. It features a slim body with a nice light strip on the back and is solidly built overall with plenty of ports.

The real showstopper is the 3K 14-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, you’ll find a pretty powerful AMD Ryzen 9 270 processor paired with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a massive 1TB SSD storage drive.

With its discounted asking price of $1,300, this is one of the most powerful laptops on the market and a must-have for gaming enthusiasts looking for a portable package that can handle gaming at respectable graphics settings and productivity tasks.
