One of the more popular items savvy bargain shoppers may try hunting down on Black Friday is a new laptop computer-and retailers are not turning a blind eye to those customers this year.  

Several stores-most notably Best Buy, Office Depot/Office Max, Walmart and Target, have offered slashed prices on a number of models through all brands. However, the quality of a laptop does cross the mind of several consumers as they consider spending their hard-earned dollars. Though the prices could be severely discounted for Black Friday, the shopper does want to make sure they're getting a good deal on a machine that won't later malfunction on them.  

With that in mind, Enstars took a look at some of the ratings on Laptop brands and took a look through some of the ads for this year's Black Friday sales to determine some of the best deals being offered this year. Here are our top picks for laptops to buy this Black Friday, and where to find them:  

Apple Macbook Models: 
 

Laptop Magazine has ranked Apple as the number one laptop maker for five years in a row, but the models offered by the company often come with hefty price tags. However, Best Buy is offering discounts on most of their Apple laptops, including:
