Bitcoin Black Friday was hailed as a huge success last year and it looks set to be even bigger in 2014, with hundreds of retailers competing for your hard-earned bitcoins.
There are a plethora of great deals and offers floating around for today’s retail bonanza – so many that we could not include them all. Check out our top picks below.

The items on offer include MSI’s GS60 Ghost-470 Gaming Laptop, originally priced at $1,599, reduced to $1,349 for customers paying in dollars, but an amazing $1,099 for bitcoiners.

Dell/Alienware
Dell also has a number of Black Friday deals, ranging from affordable Intel-based tablets, through detachables and no-frills value laptops, to premium Alienware gaming PCs. The latter tend to carry a hefty price tag, but are getting the biggest discounts.
For example, the Alienware 17 is based on a Core i7-4710MQ and AMD Radeon M290X graphics with 4GB GDDR5. The list price is $1,999, but Dell is offering a $500 discount.
