Best Black Friday laptop deal?

[Cargirl]

This year I am searching for the best laptop deal and looking for some feedback on what others think is a good deal? I do not do any gaming and just use for creating documents & spreadsheets , searching the web. I am liking the Dell ones but wondering if there's a better deal somewhere that I am missing?

Len is a wealth of knowledge on this subject. I just wanted to chime in and say I just got my ds a HP Victus. I know you said you don’t do gaming. But worth a peek. It’s sold out right now on Best Buy. But that could change…
