Cyber Monday marks the grand finale of the Black Friday shopping weekend, and if you haven’t snagged a laptop deal, time is running out. This year was one of the best we’ve seen in a long time, with deals like a MacBook Air for a record low price, killer gaming machines, and more. Each and every offer that we publish is guaranteed to be vetted and price-compared to ensure that it’s a real bargain.
When it comes to laptops, we review hundreds of them every year with some of the strictest methods around. So, when we write up a portable that’s on sale, you know it’s worth it. We’ve got productivity portables, budget Chromebooks, gaming machines, and more. Here are nine portable PCs that you can save on thanks to Cyber Monday.
Dell Laptop Deals
Dell 16 Plus
16-inch WQHD display, Intel Core Ultra 7 256V CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
$699.99
at Dell
$1,149.99
Save $450.00
One of the most impressive Cyber Monday laptop deals out there is a 39% price cut on a potent desktop replacement from Dell. We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the 16 Plus in our review, with praise for the excellent, large screen with great color quality and a fast 120Hz refresh rate, durable all-metal build and good performance. The larger form factor gives the dual-level backlit keyboard room for a full-sized number pad. It’s a little heavy, but that’s a minor complaint for a portable this solid at the best price we’ve seen it at all year.
Dell Inspiron 3530
15.6-inch 2K display, Intel Core i5 1334U CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$377.99
at Best Buy
$629.99
Save $252.00
If there’s one adjective we use over and over to describe Dell’s portables, it’s “reliable.” They’re designed for stable, no-surprised functionality with competent components and good keyboards, often featuring separated number pads and responsive touchpads. The Inspiron 3530 is a midrange contender that’s a tremendous value at 40% off retail, with a capable Intel Core i5 processor running the show. We have a review of the similar Inspiron 3535 here, where we were impressed by how it combined a budget price with good performance and a full Windows 11 Home install.
Microsoft Laptop Deal
Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 Laptop
15.6-inch 2K display, Snapdragon X Elite CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$999.99
at Amazon
$1,499.99
Save $500.00
This deal is pretty incredible, but take note: the Surface Pro 2-in-1 doesn’t come standard with the separate keyboard that makes it a full laptop, so you’ll have to buy it separately. But with the $500 you save here, you’ll still have cash left over. In our review, we were impressed by the lightweight machine’s 13-inch OLED touchscreen, impressive battery life and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. It’s an extremely versatile device, and the ARM-based Snapdragon X Elite was built from the ground up to boost Copilot AI features if those are part of your work routine.
Microsoft Surface Laptop
13-inch FHD display, Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$729.99
at Amazon
$999.99
Save $270.00
If you don’t need the flexibility of a two-in-one, this is a sweet deal on the baseline Surface Laptop. We reviewed the 2025 model and had a good time, noting that the unit boasted a sleek all-metal build, nice display and unbelievable battery life, making it a solid choice for on-the-go use, long commutes, and more since it also weighs in at just 2.7 pounds. The ARM-based processor does have some performance quirks, but for most users they won’t even be noticeable. Cyber Monday gets you a 27% discount.
Samsung Laptop Deal
Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360
16-inch QHD+ display, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
$1,199.99
at Best Buy
$1,899.99
Save $700.00
We marveled over the sleek appeal and solid performance of this convertible laptop in our 2021 review, giving it an “Excellent” rating thanks to its ultra-thin and lightweight build coupled with a bright and beautiful Super AMOLED touch display. The Core Ultra 7 processor strikes a great balance between performance and battery life, and it packs plenty of storage to hold all your projects. Port selection is reduced a bit due to the slim form factor, but three USB-C ports should handle most of your needs. Slice $700 off right now at Best Buy.
HP Laptop Deal
HP EliteBook X G1i
14-inch WUXGA display, Intel Core Ultra 7 268V CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
$1,399.00
at HP
$2,869.00
Save $1,470.00
Need a portable with lots of stamina? When we reviewed the new HP EliteBook X G1i laptop, it absolutely dominated in our battery benchmarking, clocking in at 25 hours on a single charge. That doesn’t come with any compromises in performance, either, with solid results on all of our productivity tests across the board. This is aimed at high-end enterprise users, with hardware-enforced always-on Wolf Security keeping your secrets safe. A 51% discount makes it extremely attractive, but it’s gone when Monday ends.
Lenovo Laptop Deals
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 2
16-inch WUXGA display, AMD Ryzen 7 7735U CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
$909.00
at Lenovo
$1,239.00
Save $330.00
Lenovo laptops deliver some of the best value for the money on the market, and a 26% price drop on the ThinkPad E16 makes this big-screen business portable a great value. In our review, we gave it an “Excellent” rating for its port selection, solid performance and typically excellent Lenovo keyboard and build quality. The 16:10 display is a slightly different aspect ratio than most business laptops, giving you a little more vertical space. We did dock it a few points for a slightly dim screen, but overall this is a very solid laptop for what you’ll spend.

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 6
14-inch WUXGA display, AMD Ryzen 5 7535U CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$679.00
at Lenovo
$959.00
Save $280.00
Virtually identical to the 16-inch model but a little more portable, the ThinkPad E14 is also on sale at Lenovo for Cyber Monday. We haven’t put this one through the review process yet, but we gave an Editors’ Choice award to the 5th-generation version, with expert Charles Jefferies declaring that it “delivers the qualities that ThinkPads are known for, including a first-class keyboard and long battery life” in his review. The addition of Thunderbolt ports for faster data transfer is also a big plus. Snag a 34% discount while you can.
Apple MacBook Deals
Apple MacBook Air M3
15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, M3 CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$1,065.99
at Best Buy
$1,299.00
Save $233.01
Best Buy has the Editors’ Choice-winning MacBook Air M3 at clearance prices for Cyber Monday. This is a truly spectacular ultraportable laptop, tuned for blazing performance, and in our review we raved about the M3 processor’s visible improvements in our benchmarking, along with the added support for multiple monitors and expected Apple build quality. While it’s not externally that much different from the previous MacBook Air generation, and the M4 version is an improvement, the changes under the hood make it more than worth it, especially at this discount.
Apple MacBook Air M1
13.3-inch Retina display, M1 CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
$549.00
at Walmart
$649.00
Save $100.00
Walmart is often a spot where you can snag older tech at a nice price, and while the MacBook Air M1 debuted in 2020, it’s still a capable slimline laptop that looks great. For $549, it’s the most affordable way to get into the MacBook ecosystem. In our 2020 review, we gave it an Editors’ Choice award for its improved performance, high-quality display, long battery life and solid value proposition. While it’s certainly outclassed by the recently released M4 MacBook Air, you’ll get a lot of use out of this classic too.

Gaming on a really tight budget? Grabbing this MSI portable for under a thousand bucks is a massive deal. We reviewed the MSI Katana 14 HX and were extremely impressed by it, bestowing an Editors’ Choice award thanks to the capable RTX 5050 GPU, which delivers some of the best 1080p performance on the market, as well as the nice-feeling keyboard and touchpad and good battery life. While it doesn’t have as luxurious a build feeling as some other machines, it dominates on value for money, especially with a $200 discount at Walmart.
Alienware Aurora 16X Gaming Laptop
16-inch WQXGA screen, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
$1,349.99
at Dell

Save $450.00
For a portable PC that hits right in the middle, there’s no better deal than the new Alienware Aurora 16X for 25% off during Cyber Monday. We rated this machine “Excellent” in our review, giving points to the high-quality part-aluminum build that feels sturdy but not heavy, a bright and colorful display with a 240Hz refresh rate, and a great CPU and GPU pairing. While it doesn’t push the envelope, it’s a great utility player that will be usable for many years to come. This is an absolutely great deal on components alone at this price.

Chromebook Deals
Asus Chromebook Vibe CX34
14-inch WUXGA display, Intel Core i5-1335U CPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
$499.99
at Best Buy
$799.99
Save $300.00
While most Chromebooks comfortably sit in the lower end of the potency spectrum, the Asus CX34 pushes the portable’s capabilities to the max while still keeping prices low. We gave an Editors’ Choice award to this machine, noting in our review that it delivered exceptional productivity performance with a comfortable keyboard and touchpad. This configuration is the Vibe model, which ups the onboard storage to a 256GB SSD, boosts the resolution slightly to WUXGA, and includes a garaged stylus for precision input. A 37% price cut makes it a solid buy.
Acer Chromebook 315
15.6-inch FHD display, Intel Celeron N4500 CPU, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC storage
$177.51
at Best Buy
$299.00
Save $121.49
If you’re looking for a pure value proposition, you’re not going to do much better than this capable Acer with an included carrying case for $177. In our review of the Acer Chromebook 315, we were impressed by its surprisingly big screen and solid port selection. With a dated Intel Celeron processor and skimpy storage, it’s not going to compete with Windows laptops, but for students and casual users it’s more than good enough for everyday productivity tasks, Web browsing, and watching streaming videos.
These deals are disappearing fast, so if you’ve got a model in mind, snag it while you can. Looking for more savings? Our Cyber Monday page has all the best prices on top tech.
