On Black Friday, without waiting in line, you can get a deal on an HP DV6-3013nr Laptop for $524.99. That’s $224 off the HP Pavilion V6-3013nr MSRP of $749.99.

The Pavilion DV6 line is an HP’s mainstream consumer entertainment notebook. It balances portability, performance and styling. These are good workhorse laptops with a  battery rated to run at the the most 4 hours.

This laptop comes with an AMD Phenom II Triple-Core Mobile Processor N830, running at 2.1GHz. It also has 4 GB DDR3 with a max of 8GB supported. The hard drive is a fast 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive.

The 15.6” HP BrightView LED Display has a pretty average resolution of 1366 x 768 powered by an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 128MB display memory. That is bare minimum HD capable of 720p video.

All of that means this is not a low-powered computer near the netbook quality, like some of the Black Friday deals we’ve seen. It should handle most tasks the average user will throw at it, including the basics like Internet, email and document creation. But it will do a lot more with decent enough graphics to play some video games, of course watch DVDs or streaming HD video, and some video/image editing. At only 3-4 hours of battery life don’t get too far from a power outlet.

It has an 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support and Dolby Advanced Audio with Altec Lansing speakers. So firing up a movie in the dorm room or around the house will be an enjoyable experience.

This model has the HP Imprint finish with the link design in Argento. It is a brushed aluminum finish, which is a textured and not just a smooth piece of fingerprint magnet plastic. Throw in an HP TrueVision Webcam, integrated digital microphone, 5-in-1 integrated card reader, and this has all you need for Skype and video chat as well as importing digital photos and videos.

To get on the Internet or a home network it has a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN  port as well as wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.

There are 4 USB2.0 ports. The 4th port is also a shared eSATA port. There is an HDMI for hooking up to an HD TV for movie watching or doing presentations. Other ports and connectors include a VGA, headphone-out and microphone-in.

An interesting feature is the fingerprint scanner. It will let you log into not only the system, but also favorite web sites with just a swipe of your finger.

There have been a number of these HP DV6 laptops on Black Friday lists from other stores. For example Best Buy has one for about just $25 less with an Intel Core i3 processor and the same memory but slightly more hard drive space. However, Best Buy’s deal will require you to get in line. Also BJ’s Wholesale Club has one for the same price as the Best Buy deal. In fact the one at BJ’s is nearly identical except for the processor is not as fast as the Amazon deal. At only $25 we say go with the Amazon deal, especially over the one at BJ’s. Fair warning; this one has some mixed reviews on Amazon.

Below is an overview of the various Pavilion notebooks from HP. The DV6 is one of those shown.

Panasonic’s VIERA 50-inch Plasma HDTV will be on sale for $699 during Best Buy’s Black Friday 2010 sale. This HDTV,model number is VIERA TC-P50U2, is usually sold for $899 at Best Buy, which means the retailer is offering a $200 discount the day after Thanksgiving.

The Panasonic VIERA TC-P50U2 displays content at up to 1080p and has plenty of inputs. There are three HDMI inputs (one on the side), 2 composite RGB inputs (one on the side) and two component video inputs. It also has a single digital audio output for plugging into a receiver with digital surround sound. The SD card slot lets you view your pictures on the TV. Below are the back (see left) and side (see right) views of the input panels.

The 50-inch screen has an actual measurement of 49.9-inches and a 16:9 widescreen ratio. It boasts a 2 Million to 1 contrast ratio and 600Hz refresh rate.  This fast refresh rate means fast motion will appear fluid, putting this HDTV at an advantage over LCD TVs, which typically have a 60Hz, 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate.

The case is only 3.75-inches deep. With its table-top stand it is just over 14 inches. It is 48-inches wide and 32.25-inches high weighing 68.3 pounds with the stand.

Best Buy’s Black Friday deals have been leaked. One item on the list of deals that’s sure to be very popular the day after Thanksgiving is the Apple MacBook.

Those who buy an Apple MacBook for $999.99 will receive a free $150 gift card, which effectively brings the price down to $849.99.

The MacBook in Best Buy’s Black Friday ad is the deal I like the most. The MacBook has a 13.3” display, 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of memory and a 250 GB hard drive  This MacBook’s new seamless, more durable unibody enclosure with rounded contours makes it easy to pick up and slide into and out of your bag. And it’s made of rugged polycarbonate that withstands the rough and tumble of everyday life at school, at work or while traveling. It comes pre-loaded with Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system and iLife 09, a suite of applications for organizing and editing video, music and photos.

Update: According to Best Buy’s Black Friday Ad there will be a minimum of three MacBooks at with this deal per store. Some Best Buy stores that sell computers at a higher volume will have more than the minimum on Black Friday. Regardless of the actual number available, you should expect to get to your local Best Buy several hours ahead of time on Black Friday if you hope to take advantage of this deal.
