Cyber Monday computer deals, plus Black Friday deals on laptops and Chromebooks you can still shop
If you're in the market for a new computer, now is the time to start shopping. Black Friday 2021 may be over, but it's only a technicality. Cyber Monday sales are jam-packed with great deals on Chromebooks, laptops, touchscreens, 2-in-1 devices and more. You might not find a better deal until Black Friday 2022.
How can you pick between laptops and Chromebooks? If you mostly do light computing tasks, such as visiting websites, writing documents or video conferencing, an inexpensive Chromebook is a great choice. But if you're a gamer, like to edit photos, or frequently work with big data, a more powerful Windows 10 or MacBook is a better option.
Screen size is important -- smaller devices are more portable, but larger screens are easier to read. Features such as touchscreen functionality and tablet mode are a matter of personal preference.
Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon and Samsung all have deals available through Cyber Monday, featuring Apple, HP and more. To view all the deals, tap the buttons below. Or scroll down and check out our top laptop picks.
