When things feel too good to be true, they often don't last. One of the best deals on a brand-new, modern gaming desktop PC disappeared with the setting of Black Friday's sun, rejecting any who hesitated on pulling the trigger. There is still a higher-end configuration available, but the closing of one door may have led to the opening of another: there's a new tower PC vying for the "best deal of the day" crown.
The HP OMEN 35L is the company's latest gaming PC platform, striking a balance between the compact (and limited) 25L and the monstrously large 45L. You get the best of both worlds: a slim design with clean aesthetics, and incredible performance with plenty of thermal headroom. Oh, and it's easily upgradeable. The HP OMEN 35L is only $999.99 at Best Buy, too, a staggering $500 price cut that gets you a well-equipped PC powered by the newest AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 4060 Ti GPU.

Sleek and stylish with all the power you need
Forget everything that you may have read here before. It's time to write a new story to welcome a new day of deals this Black Friday and Cyber Monday season. Those tempted by yesterday's impressive $900 HP OMEN 25L pre-built gaming desktop PC are out of luck today, but that doesn't mean you're out of options. Another HP OMEN desktop is enjoying its own beefy discount, and it may even be more enticing than the last.
The HP OMEN 35L is the latest tower platform from HP and HyperX, and it aims to pair the sleek design of the 25L family with the performance, thermals, and upgradeability of the 45L family. It's certainly an attractive desktop PC, with toolless entry into its internals, allowing you to access, swap, and upgrade the standard parts to your heart's desire.
This HP OMEN 35L is equipped with the latest-gen AMD Ryzen 7 8700G desktop CPU, an impressively efficient 8-core CPU that excels at gaming. That's paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. This isn't the most ridiculously overpowered OMEN desktop, but you're getting an excellent foundation for 1080-1440p visuals and stable performance in all the latest and greatest PC games, and you can easily upgrade it as you go.
You can admire an HP OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop PC on your desk for $999.99 at Best Buy, saving you a cool $500 and only costing $100 more than yesterday's OMEN 25L deal — but you're getting a cooler chassis, a more efficient CPU, and a beefier GPU. The only downgrade in sight is 16GB of RAM versus the OMEN 25L's 32GB, but that's an easy and affordable fix. Actually, here you go: 32GB of Corsair's RGB-lit VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM, color matched to the OMEN 35L, fully supported at its full 6,000MHz speeds, and on sale for just $97.99 at Best Buy.
While we're at it, I can also recommend the perfect monitor. I reviewed the HP OMEN 27qs gaming monitor and praised it for its solid picture quality, excellent performance with QHD, 240Hz gaming, and attractive pricing. Right now, it's an even more stellar deal, as the HP OMEN 27qs makes the perfect partner for the OMEN 25L at only $279.99 at Best Buy.

When did Black Friday end?
On paper, at least, Black Friday ended the moment Midnight chimed on Nov. 29, 2024, or the Friday following the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. However, that didn't necessarily mean all the deals up and disappeared at that time. Many persisted throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday, even as many others ended or went out of stock. Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become more of a four-day sales event than two separate days.
When did Cyber Monday end?
While it feels that Black Friday and Cyber Monday seemingly start earlier each year, the four-days sales event tends to end its annual run on a similar note. Cyber Monday marks the tumultuous finale on Dec. 2, 2024, ending when the day does. The vast majority of deals do tend to end when Cyber Monday is over, and the deals that remain often become less aggressive, with smaller price cuts. You're not likely to get another chance at most of those deals until next Black Friday rolls around.
Are there still deals after Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
It's not as if the entire world returns to MSRP after Cyber Monday ends, but many of the best deals absolutely do end before Tuesday arrives. Some retailers and companies will continue Cyber Monday promotions throughout the week, but even then, many of those discounts won't be as steep. You can keep an eye on Windows Central's deal coverage for help finding the sales that are still worth your time, since the majority of Black Friday and Cyber Monday coverage online will now be concluded or out of stock.
