Black Friday 2016 is one day away and holiday shoppers can find a wide range of deals for desktops, laptops, monitors, and PC accessories. Hybrid computers are also available that combine the CPU power of notebooks with the portability of tablets. The day after Thanksgiving is the impetus of the holiday shopping season that boosted global PC shipments to 75.7 million units in Q4 2015.
Desktops
Best Buy is slashing the price tag of an HP Tower with 27-inch monitor about 43 percent from $1,050 to $600, according to Wired. The PC/monitor combo is a steal of a deal and a great choice for a home office.
Laptops/Notebooks
Best Buy has discounted select models of Apple MacBook up to $200. Apple is somewhat of a Scrooge McDuck during the holiday season but it is offering a few hundred bucks off MacBooks starting at $1,100.
Costco, meanwhile, is offering a 14-inch Google Chromebook with 1080p IPS display for $230 starting on November 25, Friday. The portable computer with a 22 percent-off sale is bundled with a wireless mouse.
MSI 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop is also getting a price cut at Best Buy for $1,250, which is $200 off the $1,450 regular price. The laptop allows players to enjoy on-the-go PC games and a rainbow-colored keyboard.
Amazon is offering the MSI Stealth15.-6inch GS63VR Stealth Pro gaming laptop. This version includes 512GB solid-state drive and the price has been discounted $100 to $1,599.
Hybrids
Best Buy has an in-store sale on the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 128 GB Bundle. The sale price on the hybrid computer is $600, which is 40 percent off the $1,000 regular price. Best Buy is throwing in a keyboard that usually costs over $100.
The consumer electronics giant is also offering Lenovo's Yoga 900 2-in-1 13-inch PC for $700, which is about 42 percent off the $1,200 original price. This Windows PC folds up between tablet/laptop modes.
Tablets
Best Buy is also taking $125 off all 9.7-inch iPad Pro models, which now have a starting price of $475. These high-end tablets have better performance and longer battery life than other iPad models.
Monitors
Costco is offering the HP Omen 32-inch Quad High Definition (QHD) FreeSync monitor for $300. It is a 30 percent price drop from the $430 regular price, according to PCWorld.
Accessories
Finally, several retail chains are selling the Steam Controller at a reduced price. They include Amazon ($35), Steam Link ($20), and GameStop ($35) starting on Thanksgiving Day.
