As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

Anyone on the market for a new Laptop will no doubt be checking out the Black Friday deals to see what's on offer, and Amazon has delivered 25% off the

Hz touchscreen, haptic trackpad, Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD storage for just $1,499? This Surface Laptop 7 deal is unheard of.
