As the Gaming and Tech News Editor here at Windows Central, I’ve been able to review a lot of tech this year, including gaming monitors, video games, keyboards, mice, laptops, gaming handhelds, and more. Because of this, I decided to create my ideal PC gaming setup solely based on the devices and games that I reviewed this year that are on sale for Black Friday.
Of the products listed, the two I appreciate the most are the Alienware 27″ QD-OLED that can reach an insane 350Hz and the ROG Ally X. The gaming monitor usually sells for $899.99, but right now it’s on sale for just $699.98 at Dell. Meanwhiile, the ROG Ally X usually has an MSRP of $799.99, but it’s reduced to only $699.99 at Best Buy . If you have an original ROG Ally, you can trade it in for even more savings on the Ally X.
Here are some other amazing devices that I reviewed this year with excellent Black Friday deals.

I have a unique perspective on the devices that released this year as someone who regularly gets to review gaming laptops, gaming monitors, gaming handhelds, gaming desktops, and various gaming accessories. Thankfully, all of my top picks have Black Friday deals going on now.
Through the months, I’ve gotten my hands on some really cool pieces of tech, but the seven listed above are the ones I enjoyed above all others. If I didn’t already have a good PC gaming setup, I would be eyeing these products.
First off, there’s the My Passport Ultra HDD with up to 6TB of space from Western Digital. I was able to move a bunch of files off my computer to make way for more game files thanks to this wonderful device and its fast transfer speeds. You can get it for $144.46 at B&H.
Meanwhile, I’ve been using the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Mechanical Keyboard with my PC gaming setup for the last few weeks, and I love it. I can customize the colors and effects very easily or even change the switches. Remember, it’s currently only $164.99 at Best Buy.
Then there is the ROG Ally X, which I basically have played every day since I got it. This portable gaming device is excellent for unwinding in bed or on the couch after a long day. Even though it released this year, it’s already on sale for $699.99 at Best Buy . Plus, if I plug it into the JSAUX 6-in-1 Docking Station, I can use it on my TV or connected to my monitor. It’s $36.79 at Amazon.
Speaking of monitors, I’ve been obsessed with the Alienware AW2725DF and its insane motion clarity ever since I first saw it. Its ultra-high 360Hz refresh rate and speedy 0.03ms response time work extremely well to provide a very smooth playing experience. At just $699.98 at Dell, it’s currently at a very good price.
As for the computer itself, I’ve loved using the ROG G22CH compact gaming tower because it doesn’t take up a lot of room and still supplies plenty of power for my gaming needs. Because it is so small, I connected it to my TV and play games there. If you’re interested, you can currently purchase it for $899.99 at Amazon.
Of course, if you want a gaming laptop rather than a gaming desktop I cannot recommend the Alienware M16 R2 enough. This laptop blew me away with how easily it can handle some insane ray tracing settings on AAA games. If you want the very best laptop playing experience, then you really ought to consider this laptop. It’s usually close to $2000, but right now, it’s $1,299.99 at Dell.
When does Black Friday start?
Black Friday officially starts the day after Thanksgiving. In 2024, it is on Nov. 29. That said, many retailers start offering Black Friday deals as early as October. Additionally, Black Friday deals morph into Cyber Monday deals starting the Monday after Thanksgiving, which is on Dec. 2 this year.
Should I wait until Cyber Monday rather than buy deals on Black Friday?
Some deals will only be available for as long as stock lasts. If you see a really good deal during Black Friday, you should jump on it when you can. Many places allow for returns, so you might be able to return a device if you discover a better deal on Cyber Monday.
