The holiday season is getting closer and closer, and that also means that Black Friday sales are just around the corner.

For the second consecutive year, Dell is yet again the first major tech company to have its Black Friday plans revealed ahead of schedule. This time around, the leak came even earlier than it did last year, according to ZD Net.

This is good news for consumers, as they will be able to strategize for the upcoming shopping apocalypse and perhaps get their hands on some of the best Black Friday deals.

Consumers will be glad to know that there appear to be plenty of Black Friday laptop deals that they can look forward to from the company.

Among the cheapest laptops that are expected to be on offer for Black Friday will be the Inspiron Micro desktop that will reportedly go on sale for just $99.99. That would represent $80 off its current price.

For those looking for more powerful units, they can also go for the Inspiron 11 3000 2-in-1 notebook that will be on sale for $299.99. This notebook will feature the Intel Core i3 Haswell chipset that will be paired up with 4GB of RAM as well as a 500GB hard drive.

Gamers looking to snag themselves a new rig for the holidays can also consider the Alienware 15 laptop that will be available for $1,199.99. That discounted price represents $250 off its current listing.

For those looking for deals from other companies such as Apple, as of now there's no word on what those might be. Apple in particular has been known for offering little in the way of Black Friday deals, though consumers could find a 21.5 inch iMac for as low as $900 last year, according to iDigital Times.
