UPDATE: Nov. 10,Nathan Cajucom Archives 2023, 5:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated with additional laptop deals from Walmart's first Black Friday deals event.

A quick look at the best early Black Friday laptop deals at Walmart:

---

Best traditional laptop deal Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (AMD Ryzen 3 7320U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $249 (save $90)

---

Best gaming laptop deal Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $499.99 (save $70)

Walmart generally isn't the best place to score laptop deals. (That title goes to Best Buy.) But when the holidays roll around, shoppers in search of cheap PCs should keep their eyes on the big box store: It's offered $79 Chromebooks during Black Fridays past.

While we're not seeing Walmart's laptop prices dip that low quite yet, it just rolled out some solid deals on traditional and gaming models as part of its first Black Friday Deals event — including a $479 MSI gaming laptop with NVIDIA GeForce 3050 graphics. (That one was sold out at the time of writing.) The sale is live online this week and continues in Walmart stores starting Friday, Nov. 10 at 6 a.m. local time.

SEE ALSO: Walmart's first Black Friday Deals event is live for members. Here are the best deals of the sale so far.

Traditional laptops

Why we like it

Lenovo's IdeaPad 1 is a 15.6-inch laptop that's billed as a lightweight and modern-looking entry-level pick; it's best suited for basic tasks like web browsing and schoolwork. Its 14-hour battery life is the only thing on its spec sheet that's relatively notable, though it does punch above its early Black Friday price point with last year's AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD storage — most budget laptops we find for less than $300 have puny Intel Celeron N Series CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and slower eMMC storage that maxes out at 128GB.

Gaming laptops

Why we like it

Walmart's $479 MSI GF63 Thin deal didn't stand a chance, but this $499.99 Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is still hanging around. It's got an older NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card butthis year's AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, which connotes a thin, portable gaming PC. You could probably stand to upgrade its RAM down the road (it comes with 8GB of memory), but it's perfect as-is for undemanding games like Grand Theft Auto Vand Fortnite.
