If you’ve been seeking out one of the cheapest laptop deals possible, you’re going to appreciate this Lenovo IdeaPad 1. Available at a Chromebook price, it’s a Windows 11 system that runs the operating system in S mode. It comes with an AMD Athlon Silver 3050U processor as well as 4GB of memory and 128GB of eMMC storage. This is a simple system, but it’s useful if you need a Windows system but you’re keen to keep costs low. A 14-inch HD screen looks pretty good while there are useful extras like a built-in media reader and HDMI output so it’s more flexible than you would expect.

With easy access to Google apps, very fast charging speeds, and robust health tracking, it’s easily one of the best smartwatches to pair up with your Android smartphone.

The Acer Nitro is a great option for gamers looking to get into a first system on a budget. Or if you have a full gaming PC but need something for on the go, this is a great device. The Nitro 5 is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card and a 12th-Gen Intel Core i5 processor. That’s a powerful graphics card and a fairly beefy processor. It only comes with 8GB of RAM, so it won’t handle too many processes at once, but you can always update that on your own for relatively cheap. Its 15-inch screen runs at 1080p and has a 144Hz refresh rate, so it will keep your games looking crisp and smooth.

The 15 best gifts to buy on Black Friday for every shopping budget
An assembled Lego Icons Tiny Plants set on display.

Update 11/22/24: This is our first look at gifts this year, and we must say that non-procrastinators have some fun items to pick up already. We're excited to see what new and fun gift items become trendy as the fall moves along. We've also added a bunch of new stuff the Digital Trends team loves.

When we look at early Black Friday deals, we're often looking for something for ourselves, a big-dollar item at an affordable price, or the excuse to finally get that thing we've been dreaming about all year. That means early Black Friday TV deals are popular, as are early Black Friday gaming laptop deals and the like. But, if we really look at the shopping holiday, it is clearly meant (at least originally) as a time to get all of the gifts for people we love at a somewhat lower price, enabling us to show our love to family and friends, but also our bank account. Here, we get back to this sort of original meaning of Black Friday, turning ourselves into gifts.
