Can gaming laptop Black Friday deals really save you money?

If you’re looking for deals on gaming laptops or any other type of electronics, they’re certainly easy to find this time of year. That said, you won’t necessarily find the lowest prices of the year during so-called “deal szn” especially if you’re shopping mainstream stores that only sell new products.

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are heavily advertised this time of year, you can usually save more money by shopping for refurbished devices instead of new. When it comes to big-ticket items like gaming laptops, even the most hyped Black Friday sales simply can’t compete with the low prices and discounts on renewed devices.

If you truly want the best deals on gaming laptops, look for used and refurbished devices from a reputable seller. At Back Market, we only work with trusted sellers who are experts at repairing and testing computers to make sure every device is 100% functional. Not only that, you can shop our deals on refurbished gaming laptops year round, so there’s no pressure to buy on Black Friday—our sales last all year long.

Gaming laptops can be expensive, but there are some good budget-friendly options if you know what to look for. If you buy refurbished, you can even get some of the higher-end features that would otherwise cost top dollar.

Here are a few of the best gaming laptops with a low price tag:

• Refurbished Acer Gaming Laptops: The Acer Nitro 5 in particular is a great budget gaming laptop, especially for beginners.
• Refurbished Dell Alienware Laptops: Alienware is popular with gamers who want powerful performance. Get high-end features on a budget with a used and refurbished Alienware laptop! 
• Refurbished MSI Gaming Laptops: The MSI GS66 Stealth delivers long battery life and strong performance. Deals for a refurbished MSI GS66 Stealth laptop on Back Market start under $1,000.

Flashy Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales can often make it seem like you’re getting a better deal on a laptop than you really are. To avoid any buyer’s remorse, make sure that the gaming laptop has all the features you want and the right technical specifications to deliver good performance, processing times, and graphics for your favorite games.

Another tip is to carefully check the warranty and return or exchange policy before you buy a gaming laptop on Black Friday (or anytime, really). This is extra important if you’re buying a used laptop.

Did you know: many used devices are simply sold as-is, with no repairs or testing. 😱

Opt for an expertly refurbished device instead, so you can save the surprises for something else!

At Back Market, every purchase comes with a minimum 12-month warranty and 30 days to change your mind. Whether you buy a gaming laptop on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or any other day of the year, you’ll get the best possible price and save yourself the stress of holiday sales.
