Next up with the announcement of its Black Friday plans is BJ’s Wholesale Club, an East Coast chain of warehouse locations (along with its online store) that will start its Black Friday early, but not as early as some other retailers that have already begun launching their deals. BJ’s says its Black Friday savings will kick off on November 4, followed with more sales starting on November 16, and finishing up with discounts available between November 25 and 29. Among the myriad items BJs is discounting are a number of PCs, with several of the best laptop, desktop and tablet deals detailed below.
Note that BJ’s is also promising deals on Apple’s latest iPad and iPad Pro, but those savings have yet to be revealed, so check back here closer to Black Friday to learn more.
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go for $279.99
$50 off
The Galaxy Chromebook Go is currently unavailable at BJ’s, though this deal will presumably be available once November rolls around. While Samsung’s online store is currently selling a version for $249.99, it’s a silver model with only 32GB of storage. Based on its ad BJ’s, on the other hand, will have a black version with 64GB of storage for $30 more, while also throwing in a free Bluetooth mouse. Unlike the current Samsung Chromebook available through BJ’s.com, the Galaxy Chromebook Go features a newer Intel Celeron N4500 processor, includes Wi-Fi 6 support, and can go up to 12 hours between charges.

HP Pavilion x360 14-inch laptop for $599.99
$140 off
Another notebook currently unavailable through BJs.com, this Pavilion x360 2-in-1 will be in stock during Black Friday week at this special price. Its specs are very similar to an HP convertible on the BJ’s website today — same processor (11th-generation Intel Core i5-1135G7), amount of RAM (8GB), storage capacity (256GB), and display (14-inch touchscreen) — but that model costs $750. If you can hang on until November 25, this Pavilion x360 is a much better deal.

Acer Aspire C24-963-UJ11 All-In-One Desktop for $399.99
$200 off
If you’re still working remotely and would like a nice roomy all-in-one desktop setup that won’t break the bank, then this sale on Acer’s Aspire C24-963-UJ11 should appeal to you. At the center is the Aspire’s 23.8-inch display with LED backlighting and full HD (1,920×1,080) resolution, with an Intel Core i3-1005G1 CPU, 8 gigs of RAM and 256GB solid-state drive placed inside. A wireless keyboard and mouse complete the package, which will cost just $400 during BJ’s November 16 through November 29 sale period.

Asus VivoBook F513 laptop for $599.99
$130 off
With this VivoBook special, you can get your hands on a system with AMD’s excellent Ryzen 7 4700U processor for just $600 during the November 16-29 deals period at BJ’s. In addition to containing a CPU that can go toe-to-toe with some of Intel’s higher-end Core chips, the VivoBook comes with a generous amount of RAM (16 gigs) and storage (512GB). A 15.6-inch full HD display and a built-in fingerprint sensor for login security round out the appealing feature set Asus has assembled.

HP 14-fq0057nr laptop for $249.99
$50 off
While the Galaxy Chromebook Go mentioned above is a nice budget option for someone who just needs a basic laptop, this HP deal is for those who need a cheap Windows notebook instead. Another Black Friday deal in the store’s November 16-29 sales period, the 14-fq0057nr comes with the minimal specs you’d expect a laptop of this stripe to include: AMD Athlon Silver 3050U2a processor, 4GB of memory, 64GB SSD. But the touchscreen capabilities on the 14-inch display are a nice perk, not to mention the free year of Microsoft Office365 Personal that’s included — and that’s before BJ’s slices $50 off the current price.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Android tablet for $279.99
$100 off
BJ’s may be teasing a sale on the new iPads during Black Friday, but it’s provided all of the details on its Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite deal, if you prefer an Android tablet instead. The 10.4-inch slate features WUXGA+ (2,000×1,200) resolution, 4 gigs of RAM, and 64 gigs of built-in storage. Samsung’s highly touted S Pen is included to make it easier to take notes and perform other productivity tasks, and a bonus book cover is thrown in to protect the tablet and give it a de facto stand. Grab all of this for under $300 during the November 16-29 Black Friday deal period.
