The 17 Black Friday deals with the biggest discounts

26.11.2023 - 02:41 / pcgamer.com

We've flipped our calendars from Black Friday to normal Saturday, but that doesn't mean the deals are off. They're still very much on, and while I tend not to buy much stuff during the holiday season, I do feel a draw toward huge discounts. It hardly matters what kind of tech it is—it's interesting to see just how deep some companies are willing to cut prices on tech during this singular weekend.

To satisfy my curiosity and yours, I've poured over our Black Friday buying guides and picked out the 17 biggest price cuts by dollar amount. These aren't the lowest prices out there, or even the best Black Friday deals necessarily, just steep discounts.

You'll notice an obvious trend in what type of products get the big discounts: laptops, monitors, prebuilt rigs, TVs, and other big-ticket items that retailers are looking to clear off their shelves for next year's stuff. The top prize, unsurprisingly, goes to a fancy laptop that I'd never imagine laying down the cash for at its normal price. But for $1,200 off? I'm leaning in.

Razer Blade 17 | Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | Intel Core i7 12800H | 17.3-inch | 1440p | 240Hz | 16GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $3,199$1,999.99 at B&H Photo (save $1,200)
It's a last-gen model, and it's still not cheap by normal laptop standards. But you'd have paid over $3,000 for this laptop a year ago. So, if you're in the market for a big Razer, this is a very nice deal. The RTX 3080 Ti is likewise still a very decent mobile GPU.

Price check: Amazon $3,109.99

Samsung Odyssey Ark | 55-inch | 4K | $2,699.99$1,799.99 at Best Buy (save $900)
Do you need the Ark? Probably not, but damned if it isn't at least worth a look nonetheless. This screen offers something few others do, probably for good reason. It's absolutely massive, curved out the wazoo, ready for HDR to the extreme, built with Mini LED tech, and runs at 165Hz. It's something different, and that's why it bears mentioning that it's pretty much always on sale.

LG C3 OLED | 65-inch | 4K | Smart TV | 120Hz | $2,496.99 $1,596.99 at B&H (save $873)
Deja-vu? Nope, just a recommendation for the 65-inch model of the C3, for those of you looking for a huge TV capable of delivering all the 120Hz OLED gaming goods. It's a true behemoth this thing, but sometimes you just want to be in the pixels, don't you?

Price check: $1,599.99 at Best Buy

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | Nvidia RTX 4080 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $2,749$1,899 at B&H Photo (save $850)
This is a great discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested and is even cheaper than it was over Prime Day. It's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review). There's a
