Gizmodo compiled all the deals on one page.

Another thing is that Gateway laptops don't deserve the negative things people say. I'm actually posting from a Gateway laptop that I got for $1200 and can play 1080p movies and Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at 1920x1200.

Black Friday items are usually discontinued items or very low end stuff they just want to get rid of. I wouldn't waste my time. Save your money and buy a better quality PC for the same amount of money at Newegg.com

http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-compu...-laptops-651331. My experience of HP and Dell is quite bad. HP's warranty was useless for me as the uber dumb technical support couldn't understand the issues the laptop was having. They're only interested in selling you extended warranty packs.

If you're buying a netbook, then Acer and Gateway make awsome ones.

Dell and Lenova are absolute junk though.

For laptops, I'd say HP and Toshiba.

Netbooks are the way to go, small, light, long battery life, fairly powerful and Win 7 absolutely flies on em.

But if you're into games, I'd go for a laptop though, screens too small on netbooks for gaming, and Intel graphics cards aren't any good for that. But Gateway makes an awsome 11.6 inch netbook with AMD 64bit processor and ATI graphics card, which I'd imagine is quite awsome, in fact, that'll be the next thing I buy.

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
