If you’ve been keeping up with RadioTimes.com‘s Black Friday offers, you’ll be well-versed with the Black Friday lore by now, but for those of you who might need a little reminder of why the November sales are the best time of the year to pick up big-ticket items such as laptops, here it is.

Black Friday typically takes place on the last Friday of the month — the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States — and it traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping period. While Black Friday took place on Friday 24th November, plenty of offers extend into the weekend and into Cyber Monday (Monday 27th November). As a lot of people use this sales period to buy Christmas gifts for their loved ones, reputable UK retailers such as John Lewis, Currys, and Argos offer huge savings to incentivise people to shop, and that includes discounts on the latest tech.

So far this November, we’ve seen huge deals on gaming devices such as Xbox Series X Black Friday deals, PSV2 Black Friday deals, and Meta Quest 2 Black Friday deals, along with on big-ticket items like Black Friday TV deals and MacBook Black Friday deals. There are savings on monthly subscriptions, too, like Black Friday streaming deals and Black Friday SIM only deals.

Now, we’ve turned our attention to laptops; the Technology team recently put together guides on the best tech essentials for students and best budget printers, and we’ve had plenty of hands-on time with sought-after devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Book3. In this guide, you’ll find great savings on trusted brands such as HP, LG and Samsung, and we’ve found deals which offer up to a huge 65 per cent or £900 off.
