Laptops are a Black Friday staple and this year we are seeing stores take a different direction and bailing on the low cost laptop frenzy in favor of giving great discounts on featured packed laptops. In previous years you could get a dirt cheap laptop but you likely would be left frustrated at its poor performance or its terrible screen. Features we recommend you look for in any laptop this Black Friday are: a high resolution screen around 1920x1080, a solid state drive for fast performance, a discrete video card if you watch a lot of 1080p videos or enjoy light gaming, and of course something light and sleek.
Luckily for you, the team over at TechBargains has hand selected the best bang for you buck laptops in every price range for use from casual web surfing and gaming, to all around performers.

Dell Inspiron 15.6” Laptop
TechBargains
Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Intel i3 Dual-Core 15.6” Laptop w/ Windows 10 Pro $349 / list price $549.
This is a solid laptop that is plenty fast for web surfing, watching videos and running Word or Excel. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal for a laptop with a full size keyboard. And it comes with the strong bonus of running Windows 10 Pro which is better for power users and small businesses to secure their hard drives with encryption setting, support for remote desktop, group policy management and virtualization.

Asus Zenbook UX305LA Intel i5 13.3" 1080p Laptop (256GB SSD, Win10) $699 / list price $899.
At under 3 lbs. this compares favorably with a MacBook Air, until you realize it has twice the capacity, twice the RAM and has a higher resolution display compared to a base model 13” Macbook Air. To make an apples to apples spec comparison it would cost $1300 to customize and the Zenbook would still have a higher resolution screen.
