Newegg had suggested that this deal would end on Monday evening — but it’s still available, though for $50 more than before. MSI’s snazzy GS65 delivers decent performance for gamers and has a stylish but acceptably businesslike design. Newegg’s configuration features a ninth-gen Intel Core i5, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. This deal, which includes a $50 discount and a $100 rebate, is Black Friday paydirt.

Acer packs a lot of unique features into the midpriced Predator Helios. Newegg has slashed $260 from a higher-end configuration. With this deal, you get a 15.6-inch display, a six-core Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of DDR5 RAM, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Pretty nice.

The initial discount was more than $1,100 — but even at $2,700, this is a good deal on a monster G703 configuration featuring a 17-inch 144Hz FHD display, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 and 8th-gen Intel Core i9 processor. This desktop-caliber behemoth has a more straightforward design that its alter ego — the Asus Mothership — but just as much firepower.

This 15.6-inch gaming machine from Lenovo has been making the Black Friday rounds. Newegg has a nice entry-level configuration featuring an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, Nvidia GTX 1650 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD (plus a 1TB hard drive) — for $900.

Dell
Dell’s Vostro line is designed for business folks — but this loaded configuration would let you interrupt the workday for some gaming. After an $820 discount, you get an Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce MX130 graphics card for $999.

Update: The big discount on this model is gone (for now).
This souped up configuration — with the Core i7 processor and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU — is a killer deal.
