If you've been dragging your feet today, the bad news is we've already seen Black Friday deals starting to expire, particularly at Walmart. In fact, of the entirety of the sales period so far, Walmart Black Friday has been one of the best sales going, even with deals expiring. That being said there are still a lot of chances for Black Friday PC deals to be claimed before Walmart switches the lever from "Black Friday" to "Regular Saturday."
PC Black Friday Deals at Walmart
Gaming Laptop Black Friday Deals at Walmart
Gaming laptop deals are also pretty abundant this time of year, as Black Friday truly is the best time of the year to buy electronics. Walmart really has done a comendable job getting itself set up in the PC gaming marketplace. My local Walmart has legit gaming laptops from brands I recognize on display. It's a far cry from the early 2000's "Lindows" computers (look it up, it's awesome).
Best PC Black Friday Monitor Deals at Walmart
This Razer gaming monitor Black Friday deal is a definite must-get if you're looking to save on a gorgeous new monitor. At this size, 1440p is the perfect resolution, and 165Hz is more than fast enough for most people. Not all, though. Looking at you, pro-gamer guy in the comments.
If you're not into the best PC gaming deals of Black Friday, there also some of the best console gaming deals happening right now at Walmart, with huge savings on PS5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles and games.
What to Look for in a Gaming PC
If you're looking to hop into the glorious world of PC gaming for the first time, or you're hoping to introduce the hobby to someone through the purchase of a Black Friday gaming PC deal, it can be pretty daunting. If you're already a seasoned PC gamer, you know all about it and congratulations for making this far in the article.
First of all, almost any new gaming PC will run games just good enough. Even the least-expensive gaming PC on sale at Walmart for Black Friday will handle most games, although they might need to have their graphical settings dialed down. But think about the explosion in handheld PC gaming: the Steam Deck, the ASUS Rog Ally. Those machines don't have dedicated graphics cards, and people love them. OK, it's more technical and complicated than that, but basically any new gaming PC in 2023 will run most every modern game at some level, and older games will run without issue.
