Black Friday is less than a month away now, and we're still in that sweet spot just before everyone starts to put their prices up so they can pretend they've got comparatively bigger discounts on Black Friday itself. That means the deals here have a pretty good chance of being the same sort of price once the real deals madness begins in earnest towards the end of the month.
To ensure a little confidence in what you're spending your cash on if you do buy early, Best Buy and Newegg have both created a kinda of pricing guarantee. We've broken down Newegg and Best Buy's Black Friday price promises to give you a clear picture of where they can and can't help you.
Newegg's version is the most comprehensive, and the one which requires the least effort on your behalf to get some cash back if the prices drop further, but only up to November 16th. That would indicate to me that you've got up until that date to make a reasonable early purchase before prices needlessly rise ahead of Black Friday itself.
We've been curating the best deals for a long time now, and these are our favorite early Black Friday PC gaming deals of the week.
1. Asus TUF A16 | Radeon RX 7600S | AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | 16-inch | 1200p | 165Hz | $1,099.99$749.99 at Best Buy (save $350)
For a gaming laptop with close to RTX 4060-level gaming performance the TUF A16 feels like a genuine bargain. That 512GB SSD is a bit miserly, but everything else seems like excellent value for money. That RX 7600S GPU is a rare AMD mobile GPU, and sits above the RTX 4050 and a bit below the RTX 4060 in terms of performance. For a $750 gaming laptop, that's a good place to be.
Price check: Amazon $1,179.99 | Newegg $1,069.99
2. Alienware 34 AW3423DWF |
