With a massive $1,320 off the usual price, there has never been a better time to snap up this Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme. The deal gets even better when you consider that we ranked it the best business laptop out there right now. For your money, you get pretty much the best experience possible. The laptop is lightweight, immensely powerful and yet still offers over 14 hours of battery life. That’s impressive going for a laptop that offers a 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card, and a 15.6-inch full HD anti-glare screen. Yup, it’ll even play games thanks to that great graphics card although, ultimately, we think the ThinkPad X1 Extreme’s strengths lie with how much it’ll help you get work done faster and more efficiently. If you’re in the market for a high-end laptop, this is the device for you.

Dell Latitude 7400 Laptop — $750, was $2,185

Dell

With a frankly ridiculous saving of $1,435, if you were keeping an eye on the Dell Latitude 7400 series, this is the time to buy one. We only reviewed the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1, but it has a very similar build and we’re big fans. Dell refers to the Dell Latitude 7400 as the world’s smallest 14-inch premium business-class notebook for good reason. It has an 8th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of SSD storage, and a 14-inch full HD screen. So far, so standard, right? Where things get better is the introduction of features like ExpressConnect which promises to automatically join the strongest Wi-Fi connection every time. Also, you can regain an 80% charge in just one hour, which is useful if you’ve got a busy life going on. It’s also incredibly sleek looking and ensures that your laptop looks as professional as you. With a big price saving right now, it’s a good time to buy. There are also plenty of other Dell business laptops out there in the Black Friday sales.

HP Elite Dragonfly — $1,410, was $2,560

With a saving of $1,150, this is the right time to buy an HP Elite Dragonfly. It’s a gorgeously sleek business laptop — in our HP Elite Dragonfly review, we stated was the perfect size for traveling and offered incredible battery life. The system offers an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD storage as standard. While that might not sound particularly high-specced, the HP Elite Dragonfly makes up for it with great features like Sure View Reflect which is HP’s latest privacy screen, ideal for working privately on a plane, for instance. It also has built-in Tile support so you can easily track where it’s gone if the laptop is mislaid. Everything about it is designed with business travel in mind. There are numerous other HP business laptops also in the Black Friday sale.

Amazon/Apple Inc.

If you’re keen to go the Mac route instead of a PC then this Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch is the laptop for you. With a $250 price cut, it’s a sleek and stylish device that’s also powerful. It has a 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, and an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M graphics card that’s ideal for video or photo editing. Alongside that is a Retina display screen with True Tone technology. Mac displays are considered gorgeous for a reason and that’s certainly the case here. Your security needs are also covered with Touch ID support ensuring no one can get in without your fingerprint. It’s a powerhouse of a MacBook Pro but it still offers up to 11 hours of battery life. If you’re looking for other Black Friday MacBook deals, we’ve got even more for you to check out.

Subvocal’s glasses promise to let you talk to your computer in complete silence
Voice dictation is incredibly convenient, but talking to your computer in public can be embarrassing. Subvocal thinks it has a solution.
Subvocal smart glasses use radar to track your mouth movement and convert it to text using AI

Typing has always been a bottleneck between what we think and how quickly we can communicate it to a computer. AI-powered dictation tools like Wispr Flow have made things considerably better. You can practically ramble your way through an entire email, or even an article, and have it transcribed into text in seconds.

But there's a rather awkward problem with talking to your computer. Try doing it in a quiet office, a library, or even your favorite cafe, and more often than not, you tend to attract some attention or end up disturbing others. A startup called The Subvocal Company thinks it has found a solution to this issue. It has developed a pair of smart glasses that promise to turn silent mouth movements into text at over 200 words per minute.
