Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, kicks off the holiday shopping season. Long lines and crack-of-dawn wake-up calls aren't for everyone, but they're worth it if you want to snag some of the season's best deals. Before waking up for a 5 a.m. doorbuster, or impulsively overloading your online shopping cart, do your homework and come prepared with a wish list. In the spirit of the season, we decided to help by combing through lots of ads, and picked out our ten favorite deals. So whether you have a shopping budget of five dollars or four hundred, we've found a deal that's sure to make you smile.

 

*Note: With few exceptions, all of the prices, specs, and products listed here were found in early releases of retailers' advertisements. LAPTOP assumes no responsibility for incorrect prices or information and does not guarantee that these items will be available on Black Friday.
