Black Friday is the absolute best time for finding good deals on laptops. (I would know: I've tracked them for Mashable since 2019.) And with retailers taking full advantage of the holiday's abnormally late timing this year, running sales that span most of November, steep discounts are expected to be plentiful all month long.

Take home a versatile and virus-proof Chrome OS laptop at a big discount before the holiday sales even start with hot prices on Chromebooks from Acer, HP, and Lenovo.
