Some interesting deals in the Black Friday ad, especially on the AMD Ryzen CPUs (3000 series are pretty decent, 4000 series are the latest 7nm platform, a 4700u is every bit as good as a i7-1165G7) If you want a doorbuster, put it in your cart ahead of time, and when the doorbuster time arrive

If you see any more good deals on laptops, please pass them on. SWMBO has decided it is time for at least one new laptop, now that we have three in the house who frequently need to get stuff done and only one laptop to share. I know nothing about the HP Elitebook, but I'm tempted by this offer. I
