Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great opportunities for consumers to pick up a powerful laptop at a good price.

Here are the best Black Friday laptop deals we could find, including discounts on Apple MacBooks, gaming laptops, Windows machines and Chromebooks.

The 13.6-inch M3 MacBook air is one of our favourite laptops, and is an even better deal now Apple has made 16GB of RAM the base configuration. JB Hi-Fi's is current taking up to AU$282 off both the 16GB and 24GB RAM models, which is a pretty decent saving compared to buying from Apple.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop has dropped to $899 in Black Friday sales, $300.99 off its list price of $1,199.99.
