Unlike video game consoles, headphones, certain LEGO sets, and cheap TVs, laptops aren't the sort of products you really have to worry about selling out early on in the holiday season. Whether you're after one of the powerful new Apple MacBook Pros or a basic Chromebook for schoolwork, most shoppers can comfortably wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to scoop one up at a serious discount.

That being said, those who want to get their shopping out of the way ahead of schedule (and avoid the post-Thanksgiving chaos) can already peruse a number of early Black Friday laptop deals at major tech retailers: Best Buy, Walmart, and Dell have released some initial waves of doorbusters, while Lenovo and LG were hosting Black Friday preview sales as of early November.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday sales are already live. Here are the best early deals we've found so far.

Below, we're keeping a running list of the early Black Friday laptop deals worth adding to your cart. (All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨.) Check back often, as we'll be updating our picks regularly in the lead-up to the actual holiday on Friday, Nov. 24.

Our pick: Lenovo Yoga 7i, 16-inch ✨
$549.99 (save $300); extra $50 off for paid My Best Buy members

Why we like it

This 16-inch convertible laptop with a 13th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage hails from Lenovo's incredibly popular Yoga series, which is known for versatile 2-in-1 models with sleek, premium designs and sturdy 360-degree hinges. It's relatively rare to see a laptop with that much memory in the sub-$600 price range, and it's even rarer to find a Yoga for less than $500: You can lock it in at just $499.99 if you're a paid (Plus or Total) member of the My Best Buy program.

Our pick: Dell XPS 15 9530
$1,549 at Dell.com (save $450)

Why we like it

Dell's 15-inch XPS machine is Mashable's favorite Windows laptop, boasting a premium build with a stunning edge-to-edge display and powerful specs that rival some desktops. (This particular model has a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 H-series processor with 16GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, and 1TB of storage.) One of the worst things about it is that it doesn't go on sale all too often, making Dell's $450 Black Friday discount all the more welcome.

Our pick: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5
$549.99 at Lenovo.com (save $380)

Why we like it

Lenovo's IdeaPad Slim 5 is a solid mid-range pick for multitasking that has a 1080p webcam, a nice backlit keyboard, and a 16-inch, 16:10 display (albeit with a very average 60Hz refresh rate). This configuration features an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and it's an excellent value at just $549.99 — especially considering another IdeaPad Slim 5 with a slightly downgraded Ryzen 5 7530U processor (which has two fewer cores) was $10 more expensive at the time of writing.

Early Black Friday laptop deals at LG

Our pick: LG gram 14 2in1 ✨
$1,499.99 at LG.com (save $200)

Why we (sort of) like it

Impressively light and thin, the LG gram 14 2in1 is a premium 14-inch hybrid laptop with Dolby Atmos speakers, a beefy battery, and a 16:10 touchscreen display that you can draw on using its included LG Stylus Pen. LG just put a 1TB configuration with a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM on sale for $1,499.99 (typically $1,699.99) as part of its Early Black Friday sale, but we'd recommend holding off for now: The same model has dropped down to $1,199 on Amazon before.

Our pick: Lenovo IdeaPad 1
$249 at Walmart.com (save $90)

Why we like it

In the cheapest laptop deal of Black Friday 2023 so far, this 15.6-inch Lenovo IdeaPad with last year's AMD Ryzen 3 7320U CPU, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD storage comes in at just $249 thanks to Walmart's first Black Friday Deals event. It's a great buy for basic web browsing and document creation, as most sub-$300 laptops have crappier (older) processors, 4GB of RAM, and slow eMMC storage.
