It might be the holiday season right now but that doesn’t mean that Black Friday discounts are exclusively for personal items. Right now, even business laptops are getting in on the great Black Friday deals we’re seeing pop up left, right, and center. With plenty of great Black Friday laptop deals out there, it can get a little overwhelming so we’ve narrowed things down to four of the best business laptops out there including one high-end MacBook Pro.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme — $1,620, was $2,940

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.

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch — $2,150, was $2,400

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.

With the winter that’s coming, and even the spring beyond it, it makes more sense than ever to have a speedy reliable laptop at the ready, whether it’s for work or just your personal needs. And Black Friday deals could be the right place to score one. Mobility is key with work these days, whether you need to run into the office, work remotely, or even just move to another room of the house for some privacy. Right now, there are some amazing Black Friday laptop deals and Black Friday MacBook deals that are geared specifically toward those in need of a mobile computer. We’ve found some especially notable deals on the 13-inch MacBook Air and the Dell XPS 13 -- two of the best laptops on the shelves right now. The Macbook Air is $70 off, down to $929 from its regular price of $999. As for the Dell XPS 13, it’s $50 off, down to $1,000 from its regular price of $1,050.
Apple Macbook Air — $929, was $999

If you want something just as functional as the Dell XPS 13, but you’re devoted to the cult of Apple (or just want to get in on its incredible designs and performance), it’s hard to find a better everyday laptop than the MacBook Air. Apple recently relaunched this series, tackling the main three areas that had presented challenges to users in its former incarnations: The price, the design, and security. Visually, what’s new is an even sharper Retina display, a more compact body, and, finally, Touch ID (security check!). On top of these improvements, the latest Air comes with a tenth-generation Intel Core i3 processor (it’s superfast), Intel Iris Plus Graphics, and 8GB of memory, which is enough to allow you to do about a million things at once, seamlessly. It’s also got wider stereo sound than before, USB Type-C ports and up to 11 hours of battery. For basic tasks and everyday computing, this is a gorgeous, light, affordable option. And it might not get cheaper than this early Black Friday Deal.
