Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November (Nov 26, 2026). Cyber Monday comes on the following Monday, Nov 30, 2026. Each store announces its own sale period on its website.
Date sources: U.S. federal law, 5 U.S.C. § 6103: Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday of November; Black Friday: the Friday after Thanksgiving (Wikipedia); Cyber Monday: the Monday after Thanksgiving (Wikipedia).
Is it worth buying laptop on Black Friday?
It depends on the model, and the price history shows why. The Radar compares today’s price of each model with the model’s own 30-day median. The series shows what the price has done so far, not what each store will do on Nov 27, 2026. If a model is already below its own median, buying early doesn’t depend on the date; if it’s above, its page shows the history to compare.

How to tell if the discount is real
We save the price every day
Each collection records the trusted-store price of each model, and the series becomes the history that serves as the benchmark.
We compare with the median, not the "was" price
The benchmark is the median of the model’s own price over the last 30 days. The "was" price the store crosses out is not used.
We only call it a drop with enough history
With 14 days or more of history and a price 5% or more below the median, the model goes into "Price really dropped".

Frequently asked questions
When is Black Friday 2026?
On November 27, 2026, a Friday. It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November (Nov 26, 2026). Each store announces its own sale period on its website.
Is the Black Friday discount on laptop real?
The only way to know is to compare with the same model’s history. The Radar compares today’s price with the median of the last 30 days for that laptop in the price history and ignores the "was" price the store crosses out. On Nov 6, 2026, no model is 5% or more below the median, with enough history.
Is it worth waiting for Black Friday to buy laptop?
It depends on the model. The Radar saves the price of each laptop every day and compares it with the 30-day median. The series shows how the price has moved so far, not what the store will do on Nov 27, 2026.
When is Cyber Monday 2026?
On November 30, 2026, the Monday after Black Friday (Nov 27, 2026). The date comes from the calendar rule; each store announces its own sale period.
When does early Black Friday start?
Each store sets its own warm-up period and announces it on its website. The Radar only publishes a store’s date with an open source and, without one, shows the calendar rule: November 27, 2026. What matters to shoppers is the price, and the 30-day median shows whether it already dropped before the date.
Do prices go up before Black Friday?
It depends on the model, and only the series can answer. The Radar saves the price of each laptop every day and compares today’s with the 30-day median: a price that rose in the previous days barely moves that median, because it uses the middle value of the series. The page for each laptop shows the history of of the laptop.
What is "Black Fraud" or "half of double"?
These are the popular names for a sale where the discount doesn’t hold up. The check is the same as on any day: compare today’s price with the same model’s history, not with the "was" price on the tag.
How does the Radar know the price dropped?
It saves the price of each model every day and compares today’s with the median of the last 30 days for the same laptop. It only counts as a confirmed drop with enough history (14 days or more of history) and 5% or more below the median.
Which laptops does the Radar track?
165 models from 7 brands, from $200 to $7,899 on Nov 6, 2026. The price is the brand’s official store, a partner store, the store’s own or a seller rated 4.0 with 100 or more sales’s, in the stores we track; the final price is the one at the store.

Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product on Amazon.com, shipped to New York 10001, on the day it was read, before sales tax. The history keeps one price per day. The median is the model’s own over the last 30 days, and it only counts with 3 records or more. A confirmed drop needs 14 days or more of history.
The price is the one collected on the date shown and changes without notice. The series shows what the price has done so far; it doesn’t predict the Black Friday price or say it’s time to buy.
