It might be early, but Black Friday desktop PC deals have begun. Some retailers have already launched early deals on everything from home office computers to gaming PCs to all-in-ones. What’s more, many retailers are offering price protection so you can make your purchase now and rest assured you’ll end up with the best price.

One of the best Dell Black Friday deals takes $400 off the Alienware m18 R2 RTX 4070 graphics Although we didn't get our hands on this exact laptop, in our Alienware m16 R2 review, we praise its excellent design, gaming, and productivity performance. We expect the RTX 40 series m18 R2 to be on par with its 16-inch sibling.

Black Friday is the absolute best time for finding good deals on laptops. (I would know: I've tracked them for Mashable since 2019.) And with retailers taking full advantage of the holiday's abnormally late timing this year, running sales that span most of November, steep discounts are expected to be plentiful all month long.

Limited-run deals on LEGOs, gaming peripherals, PCs and laptops, and headphones worth shopping now at Best Buy.

The holiday shopping season is just around the corner, and if you can't wait until Black Friday to upgrade your gaming desktop, you can save big now on brands like Alienware, HP Omen, and Lenovo.

Save up to $400 on 2-in-1 laptops on sale ahead of Black Friday.

One of our favorite gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix G16, is currently 17% off at Walmart for Black Friday. This model features an elegant design, with a customizable backlit keyboard and light strip underneath the trackpad. The modern hardware delivers years’ worth of high-end gameplay, and you can save $300 on the laptop right now.

The only way you can beat the value, customizability, and power of a desktop is by dropping that price tag with a big old discount just in time for the holiday shopping season.
