  Is Black Friday a good time to buy laptop?

  Yes, but laptop deals could be less numerous in general this year. Joanna Nelius, Reviewed's Senior Electronics Editor, pointed out that there's currently an ongoing shortage of in-demand computer chips worldwide, impacting the supply and prices of various laptops.

  Still, Nelius said the likes of Apple, Dell, HP, Samsung and more have deals on laptops every year. Nelius suggested that PC gamers, in particular, should keep an eye on Cyber Monday (on Monday, November 29) deals for the best savings on gaming laptops, while those simply looking for a new computer might find better deals on Chromebooks during both Black Friday (on November 26) and Cyber Monday.

  What are the best laptops to buy?

  It depends on what you're looking for. While the Macbook Air was our top choice for best overall laptop, we've also ranked laptops from HP and ASUS as top of the line. We can also recommend a variety of Chromebooks, with our pick for the best choices from Lenovo, Acer and Google.

  If you're on a budget, the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptop is our pick for the best laptop under $500 and is currently on sale at Dell for $229.99, a $189 price cut. We were impressed with its sturdy design, responsive keyboard and smooth trackpad. Though cheaper than higher-end laptops, we found the Intel Core i5 model that we tested performed as well (or better) than other pricier computers. If you want just the basics but are still presented with quality, you can't go wrong with the Inspiron.

  If you've got a student to shop for who's also a Windows fan, the HP Spectre x360 laptop for $840.99 is a great gift this holiday season. As one of our favorite laptops for students, the Spectre impressed us with its nine-hour battery life and wide screen. Though not as fast as the latest Macbooks, the Spectre still offers speedy performance for office work, light video editing and even gaming.
