There’s nothing more cost-effective than a powerful desktop PC—especially on Black Friday! Whether you’re working from home, gaming, exercising your creativity, these are the deals for you.

Hold on, not everyone needs a powerful gaming desktop with a crazy RTX 3080 GPU. Maybe you should get a Chromebook. Oh, it just happens we have some great Chromebook deals below!

The Best Chromebook Deals

Most people don’t need a crazy-powerful Windows PC. In fact, if you don’t play games or run demanding professional apps, you’re probably better off with a Chromebook. These puppies give you a crazy bang for your buck, and even the crazy cheap models run better than most Windows machines.

Here are the best Chromebook deals this Black Friday:

• Lenovo Chromebook Duet (Gen 1): $245 ($55 off)
• Samsung Galaxy Chromebook (13.3-inch): $600 ($400 off)
• HP Chromebook Intel Celeron (14-inch): $200 ($110 off)
• HP Touch x360 Intel Pentium Chromebook (14-inch): $377 ($50 off)
• Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 2-in-1 (13-inch): $320 ($110 off)
• Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook (13-inch): $400 ($200 off)
• Lenovo 10e Chrome Tablet: $120 ($215 off)
• ASUS Intel Celeron Chromebook (11.6-inch): $120 ($100 off)

If you’re not sure which Chromebook to buy, I suggest grabbing the excellent Lenovo Chromebook Duet or the Galaxy Chromebook. They hit two different price ranges, but they’re both great machines (especially at these discounted prices).

The Best Mac and MacBook Deals

Believe it or not, but there are actually a few Mac deals this year. Most of these Black Friday deals are on older Intel-powered Macs, but there are a few new machines running Apple’s custom, battery-friendly M1 processor.

Here are the best (and only) Black Friday Mac deals:

• Mac Mini M1: $780 ($120 off)
• MacBook Air M1 (13.3-inch): $950 ($50 off)
• MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 (16-inch): $1,899 ($500 off)
• iMac 4K with Intel Core i5 (21.5-inch): $1,000 ($500 off)

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Apple will discount the new MacBook Pro this year. But the MacBook Air and Mac Mini with M1 are more than powerful enough for most professional and creative tasks.
