Early Black Friday deal: ASUS VivoBook Pro just dropped to $999

Black Friday has moved from one major shopping day ahead of the holidays to a week-long affair in recent years. In 2022, we’re seeing an interesting shift from US retailers looking to cash in on the trend — a move toward far-longer sales events and pre-Black Friday deals. 

A deal we’ve come across ahead of Black Friday is for the ASUS VivoBook Pro. Available at Newegg for $999, this is $400 (28%) off the laptop’s typical retail price of $1399. 

The ASUS VivoBook Pro is a work-ready laptop sporting high tech specifications and one that will likely last you for years to come.
