Black Friday 2025: 7 Laptop Picks for Small Businesses and an offer on IT Projects through the rest of 2025

Black Friday 2025 is shaping up to be a strategic upgrade window for small businesses. With inflation pressure still present and remote/hybrid work models here to stay, investing in robust, future-ready hardware pays off in productivity, security and longevity. Both Lenovo and Dell are pushing meaningful deals at the business/SMB level: Lenovo’s Black Friday Sale is live with “incredible discounts on laptops, desktops and much more” and Dell’s business PC deals include up to 50% off software with a PC purchase, savings on business-grade laptops and desktops and major savings on extended service/support plans.  This is a great chance to align tech refresh with year-end budgeting, while locking in discounts before stock thins out.

Here are seven strong hardware models that fit common small and medium business use-cases (office productivity, remote/hybrid workforce, design/creative, durable everyday laptop). Each is anchored by a brand and model we recommend investigating.

Now that we’ve identified some good options, here are key considerations when buying new devices for a small business:

• Warranty/Service levels: Especially in business context, downtime costs money. Dell’s service-plan discounts (e.g., 2-year ProSupport) during Black Friday are worth investigating.
• Software bundles: OEMs are bundling software (Microsoft 365, Adobe, etc.). Dell’s deal includes up to “50% off software with PC purchase”.
• Hardware specs vs future needs: Ensure the model meets at least 3-5 years of expected use. Don’t buy just the “deal” if the specs are already aging.
• Compatibility & standardization: If you already have Lenovo or Dell machines, stick to same manufacturer to ease IT management.
• Procurement timing & tax considerations: Since year end is near, locking in before December makes sense for budgeting and tax write-offs.
• Stock/availability: Black Friday means high demand; if you find a good fit, don’t wait too long.
• Let's negotiate: Especially with business accounts, call your rep at Lenovo or Dell and see if you can stack further discounts or extended warranty.
• Refresh your support plan: If you buy now, ensure you coordinate with your MSP or internal IT to include in your support tracking, asset management, and backup/DR plan.
