Black Friday gaming laptop deals: is it actually cheaper?

• Real deal: today's price is at least 5% below the product's own 30-day median price at the same shop listing (for GPUs: the cheapest listing of that card across the shops we track).
• Same as usual: within −5% to +3% of the 30-day median. A "Black Friday price" here is just the normal price.
• Price went UP before the sale: today's price is at least 3% above the 30-day median, so any "was/now" discount is measured from a raised price.
• Too early to tell: we have less than 7 days of history for it. We don't guess.

The median is time-weighted: each price counts for the hours it was actually listed, so a one-hour spike or dip can't move the "usual" price. The 30-day low is the lowest price we recorded in the last 30 days. Prices are checked hourly on each shop's category pages; stock isn't verified, and the shop's price at checkout applies. These are our numbers from our own price checks, not the retailer's "RRP" or "was" price.
