Cyber Monday 2022 laptop deals: What to expect
Cyber Monday is the best time of year to shop for a laptop, even compared to Black Friday. Year after year, we see devices from major brands drop to all-time low prices. Whether you're in need of a simple Chromebook or need a powerful, full-featured gaming laptop, you'll be rewarded with excellent discounts by shopping during this event.
Apple's iconic MacBooks will likely drop to their lowest prices of the year this Cyber Monday, and we're already seeing discounts on the 16-inch Macbook Pro and the new Macbook Air. Normally we see sales on previous-generation MacBooks, but there are also deals on newer machines, like the MacBook Air M2. It's somewhat uncommon to find a MacBook discounted any other time of the year, so it's worth catching these sales if you see the right one for you.
Chromebooks are some of the most affordable and compact laptops on the market, great for younger students. Expect to see major, limited-time discounts dropping some devices down by over $100 from brands like Asus, Lenovo, HP, and more.
Windows PC laptops run the gamut in terms of specs and price, which means it's not hard to find the perfect laptop for your needs. During Cyber Monday, we expect to see major price drops from high-end brands like Razer and MSI, but also from more generalized brands like HP, ASUS, and Lenovo.
Who has the best laptop deals on Cyber Monday?
Any major retailer that carries laptops will offer laptop deals, including Amazon, Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart. You can also find Cyber Monday deals directly from laptop makers such as Dell.
The exception is Apple, which tends to avoid discounting its own products during Cyber Monday. If you want to find Apple sales, check out third-party retailers like Best Buy or Amazon.
