Everything we know about Walmart's Black Friday 2023 sale so far.
https://www.ign.com/articles/black-friday-walmart-2023
The holiday season is coming up fast! From here to the end of the year, there is a ton going on, so if you are anything like me, you want to get your gift shopping settled while everything you want is still in stock. Whether you like to be known as someone who gives the coolest tech gifts or you just want to make someone's lives a bit easier there are tons of great presents for your friends and family.
Laptops are everywhere. Whether they are for work or for play, portable computing is more powerful than it's ever been, and the number of things you lose moving from desktop to laptop is smaller than ever, making them even more tantalizing. From the sleekest Apple laptops to the buffest gaming PC laptops, mice and accessories, we've got you covered.
This article is presented by Walmart.
The Best Apple Laptop Gifts for 2023
Apple connoisseurs are all about simplicity, focus, convenience, and design. I used Apple computers for many years for those same reasons. If you want to pick up the best lightweight laptops from Apple, the latest MacBook Air is a thing of beauty, rocking an M2 chip, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
You can also save some cash (and space) by getting one with a 13" screen and an M1 chip.
The Best 17" Gaming Laptop Gifts for 2023
Gaming laptops are getting more and more powerful all the time, bringing console and desktop-quality experiences to wherever you want to play. Asus and MSI are well-known qualities in the gaming space, and you can grab the Asus TUF F17 17.3" laptop with a blazing fast 144Hz refresh rate, which is amazing for competitive games like shooters. It has an Intel i5 processor and RTX 3050.
If you wanna go with MSI, this model has an Intel i7 2.3GHz processor and RTX 3050Ti, and it comes with Windows 10, if you prefer that to the Asus' Win11.
The Best 15" Gaming Laptop Gifts for 2023
Gaming laptops come in a wide variety of colors and sizes, but the 15" gaming laptop is certainly the most popular. With a solid split of portability and visibility, they often represent the best of both worlds.
This Acer Nitro 5 has an impressive 144Hz IPS, an RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, Intel i5 12th Gen CPU, 16GB of DDR5, and 512GB of SSD storage space, while the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 downshifts he display to 120Hz with an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, but ramps the RAM and storage up to 32GB DDR5 and 2TB SSD, respectively. MSI, not content to be left behind by the competition, has 32GB DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4070 Laptop, with an Intel Core i7 13th Gen.
The Best Laptop Accessory Gifts for 2023
Laptops don't run solo. If you want to make the most of your portable computer, grabbing a mouse is a great choice. I always prefer using a dedicated wired mouse when I'm using my laptop, but the Razer Basilisk wireless mouse is a great choice for those who value more flexibility and convenience. It has tons of buttons, which is ideal for gaming.
If you want something a bit more straightforward, the Logitech G305 is also a great pick, and if you want to keep your laptop cool, the PlusBravo cooling pad with built-in fans is a low-cost way to keep gaming.

The official Secretlab Black Friday Sale starts now and runs until November 25. Save up to $150 in discounts on their most popular gaming chairs and gaming desks. The breakdown is as follows:
Up to $100 Off Secretlab TITAN Evo gaming chairs
Up to $150 Off Secretlab Classics gaming chairs
Up to $100 Off Secretlab MAGNUS Pro gaming desk
Up to $70 Off Secretlab MAGNUS gaming desk
Up to $40 Off NeueChair task chair
It's no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. We've consistently rated them as the best high-end gaming chair on the market, as well as the best gaming chair for "big and tall" gamers. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our "Budget to Best" roundup video earlier this year, Akeem considered the Secretlab Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap, and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, customer service, and customizability are worth it.
On a personal note, I've recently swapped my aging Herman Miller Aeron chair to a TITAN Evo, and I won't be going back. The Aeron chair is indisdutably an amazing chair, but the TITAN Evo is, in my opinion, is more comfortable, nearly as customizable, and looks way cooler with my gaming setup.
The Best Secretlab Black Friday Sale Deals
Up to $100 Off Secretlab TITAN Evo Gaming Chairs
The TITAN Evo starts at $519 during the sale. This is Secretlab's latest flagship chair and it's available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes. It comes standard with Neo Hybrid Leatherette, which is easy to clean and considerably more durable than the commonly used PU leather. You can also upgrade to either SoftWeave Plus fabric or premium NAPA leather. Every TITAN Evo chair features a sculpted base with plush cold-cure foam upholstery, a supportive 4-way lumbar system, a full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions (can be upgraded to gel or memory foam), and a magnetically attached memory foam headrest pillow. The TITAN Evo comes with a 3 year warranty.
What's really amazing about Secretlab's chairs are the sheer number of officially licensed designs available. My personal favorites are the Witcher, Monster Hunter, Attack on Titan and Game of Thrones House Targaryen chairs. They cost more than the standard colors, but they're worth it if you're want that extra personal touch to your gaming space.
Up to $150 Off Secretlab "Classics" Gaming Chairs (Including TITAN 2020)
If you're not married to the idea of getting the newest TITAN Evo, you can get prior model TITAN 2020 gaming chairs starting at $474. The upgrades to the Evo are relatively minor. Besides the changes in upholstery (PU leather to their new Neo Hybrid Leatherette), the addition of magnetic elements to the armrests and headrest, and the NFC anti-counterfeit tag, the chairs are more or less identical. That means the TITAN 2020 also has the more important features like the cold cure foam upholstery, 4-way lumbar, 165 degrees of recline, 4D armrests and more. The TITAN 2020 also comes with a 3 year warranty.
$100 Off Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Desk
The MAGNUS Pro is currently selling for $799 for Labor Day (normally $899). This is one of the few electric standing desks that's designed for gamers. It has everything you'd want from a quality standing desk, like a powerful dual-motor system with 3-stage telescoping metal legs, horizontal cross brace, anti-collision feature, and memory presets. However it has some pretty awesome unique tricks up its sleeve. One of the columns doubles up as a power center. You plug a power cable into an outlet at the base of the column. There is a cable management tray that spans the entire length of the table. There you can put in your own power strip and plug it right into a second outlet at the top of the base. Other great features include a completely magnetic top so you can stick on magnetic accessories like their deskmat, integrated RGB lighting (optional), and a control panel interface that's seamlessly built into the tabletop surface so your chair won't run into it. The MAGNUS Pro desk comes with a 5 year warranty.

Walmart Black Friday TV Deals
One of Walmart's early Black Friday doorbuster deals is this 50-inch 4K smart TV that's on sale for just $148. You're probably not going to get a super high-quality picture out of this thing compared to TVs 10 times its price, but that's not what this is for. This would be a great set for someone on a tight budget, or a good second or third TV to put in a guest room for less frequent use. There's also a super affordable 75-inch TV from Hisense with the same caveats. If you want size over quality, it's a great buy and one of the best Black Friday TV deals around.
