The best laptop deals we found for Cyber Monday
Save hundreds on notebooks from Dell, HP, ASUS and others.
A lot of decision making goes into picking a new laptop. But Cyber Monday, like Black Friday before it, can help you decide by making the cost of a new notebook a bit easier to stomach. We saw a handful of good deals on laptops for Black Friday, but new sales have popped up for Cyber Monday. As usual, we recommend checking out places like Amazon and Best Buy if you’re willing to buy a pre-fab notebook. If you want to customize the machine from the ground up, choosing things like processor, memory and storage capacities, color and more, head directly to manufacturers like Dell, Microsoft, Lenovo and others as they’ll have more customization options. Here are the best laptop deals we found for Cyber Monday.
