Black Friday is the time to secure savings on big ticket items like appliances, televisions—and, yes, computers. These deals are sure to impress and shopping from home will save you the headache of the holiday crowds. So take a look at our roundup of available mini-PCs, all-in-one machines, and traditional towers that'll save you some serious coin.

This Inspiron 3020 compact desktop will easily fit on or under your desk. The Intel i7 processor is quick and responsive and the RTX 3050 graphics card will give you that extra edge when you’re creating content.

This HP Pavilion TP01 desktop runs a zippy Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It makes an excellent daily-use configuration and the Black Friday pricing makes it worth taking a second look.

This all-in-one desktop has a 23.8-inch 1080p touch display which houses an Intel Core i5 processor, a 512GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM. Also included is a wired keyboard and mouse, making this purchase truly an all-in-one affair.

A 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and RTX 3060 GPU make this gaming desktop a solid purchase for gaming enthusiasts. 16GB of RAM is plenty for most applications and the 512GB SSD will hold loads of files and games, but if you need to upgrade later down the road, that’s always an option.

The HP Omen 40L is a good option for those seeking to dip their toes in the 40-series GPU pool. Sporting a Ryzen 5 processor and an RTX 4060 graphics card, this capable configuration will handle all your gaming needs.

With fully customizable ARGB lighting and an RTX 3070 GPU, the Acer Predator Orion 5000 is here to look good and play hard. Three display ports and an HDMI 2.1 port means you can connect multiple inputs and outputs without having to juggle.

Gaming on a budget doesn’t have to limit what you can play. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i has an RTX 3060 GPU, which will handle most AAA games at medium to max settings, and a 13th Gen Intel i5 processor. A 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM are a great base to build on and you could always add more down the line. The best part? It costs only $800 for Black Friday.

And for those who are looking for a laptop instead, we’ve got you covered.
