Best Cyber Monday laptop deals LIVE – The best laptop offers available to buy

The best laptop deals available for Cyber Monday sales

I've been reviewing laptops for more than two decades now, so I know how to tell the best laptops from the not-so-hot ones. I can also spot when a Cyber Monday deal is value for money versus when retailers are simply trying to shift stock of a laptop model that no one's interested in.

As part of our efforts to go all-in for you on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year at T3, I'm scouring multiple sites and stores to find the best-of-best laptop deals, and writing them up here – live and direct. Whether you're team Windows, team MacBook, or team Chromebook, you'll find offers to tempt you here.

In the lists below you're also going to come across different price points and different types of laptops. Cyber Monday deals don't discriminate when it comes to discounts, and you'll find them piling up on gaming laptops and premium laptops – in addition to budget and mid-range models.

Cyber Monday is now here, so I'll be updating this page on a regular basis as more deals appear – and with the broad range of offers and price drops happening at every major retailer, this is the best time of the year to invest in that new laptop upgrade.
