‘What about laptop deals in the US?’ I hear you… type. Good question, and as you’d expect, there’s some excellent deals over there as well for Black Friday.
The absolute cheapest laptop I’ve seen in the US that’s worth buying on Black Friday is the HP 11.6-inch Chromebook for $79 (opens in new tab).
Yes, it’s another Chromebook, but as I’ve told anyone who cares to listen (and, to be fair, people who would rather I just shut up), if you’re after a laptop for around $100, you should steer clear of Windows laptops and go for a Chromebook instead – you’ll get a much better experience, as long as you keep your expectations in check.
Want a cheap Windows 11 laptop in the UK for Black Friday? Of course you do! In my book, this is the best value Windows 11 laptop on sale: the Acer Aspire 3, which is £349 at Currys (opens in new tab).
While the CPU isn’t that great, it’s a 10th gen Intel Core i3, it’s not awful for this price, and the 256GB SSD is a bit on the small side. However, it comes with 8GB of RAM, which I think is the minimum you want to run Windows 11 smoothly. Many cheap Windows 11 laptop deals on Black Friday come with 4GB of RAM, so keep an eye out for that, as it’ll lead to a slow and annoying laptop that will make you feel you’ve wasted your money, even if you haven’t spent much.
