These are our top ten early Black Friday deals this week: $899 gaming PCs, RTX 4080 laptops and 2TB SSDs
Black Friday is now a week away, and the deals have started already. While it's true that some retailers put their prices up just before the event to make the discounts look bigger on the actual day, we've still found some really good early deals that we think are worthy of a mention right now.
As with last year, both Newegg and Best Buy have price protection systems in place to give you some sort of reassurance that you won't lose out if you buy early and your item drops in price over the weekend. We've written a helpful explainer on Newegg and Best Buy's Black Friday price promises, and its worth giving it a read before you purchase as both retailers handle this in very different ways.
Essentially, if you're buying from Newegg you should look out for the price protection logo, as it should mean that you'll get refunded the difference if your item goes cheaper between now and November 25. Best Buy's is a bit more complicated, so check out the article above for the details.
Every year we dedicate ourselves to finding the absolute best deals, so without further ado, here are our favourite Black Friday picks for this week!

This is hands-down the cheapest RTX 4060 Ti toting gaming PC—and I think I can say this without undue hyperbole—we've ever seen. We were impressed when the Yeyian machine tipped up below the $1,000 mark, but this has a way better spec and is $100 cheaper. The Ryzen 7 5700 may be last-gen now, but it's an eight-core, 16-thread chip with enough processing grunt to keep the Nvidia GPU fed. For a budget machine, the 16GB DDR4 is decent, but that 2TB SSD is outstanding. With game sizes
