I’m a Cyber Monday laptop deals expert, and these are the price cuts I’d recommend to friends and family

With Black Friday done and dusted, it’s time for Cyber Monday laptop deals! Last week, I was really impressed with the quality of laptop deals in the run-up to Black Friday, with retailers in both the US and UK making some hefty cuts to some of the best laptops on the market, and I’m hoping that this trend of great laptop, Chromebook and MacBook deals carries on throughout today, December 1, otherwise known as Cyber Monday.

So, if you’re considering a new laptop, there’s still time to bag a bargain, and myself and TechRadar’s team of computing experts will be here throughout Cyber Monday (and a bit beyond) to highlight all the very best laptop deals we can find, while also giving you live buying advice as well, as we all know how confusing and intimidating buying a new laptop can sometimes be.

There’s been a lot of concerning talk recently about big price rises on the horizon for various computing components, especially memory-related one such as RAM, storage and graphics cards, which could rise the overall price of laptops, so this year’s Cyber Monday could be perfectly timed to beat those price increases. Rather than having to hop from retailer to retailer in a bid to find the best laptop deals, I’ll be highlighting the best I’ve found for both UK and US readers.

But, why trust me? I’ve been testing and writing about laptops for close to two decades now, and the whole point of this page is to help track down the right deal for your needs and budget as easily and hassle-free as possible.

I’ve led TechRadar’s Cyber Monday laptop coverage for more than 10 years, so I’ve now got a good idea of what kind of laptop deals are worth snapping up – and which ones are best left alone.

I also know that these days, money can be very tight, so I’ll be including a wide range of laptops at different price points to cover everyone’s budgets. That also means for extremely cheap laptops, I’ll be making sure to only recommend ones that are actually worth buying, not just because they have the lowest price around. Some super-cheap laptops are too good to be true, and to keep the prices low, manufacturers have fitted them with underpowered or out-of-date hardware, which means they end up being too slow for any of your needs, and no matter how cheap they were, they are still a waste of money.

I’ll only be featuring laptops that are worth spending your hard-earned cash on, backed up with straightforward, unbiased buying advice.

I’ve been writing about laptops since 2008, and have covered every Cyber Monday shopping event on TechRadar since 2014, so I know a great laptop deal when I see one. One thing I can’t stand are garbage ‘deals’ for underpowered laptops with ancient CPUs and not enough RAM, so it’s my mission to highlight only the very best Cyber Monday laptop deals on this page, as well as giving you honest buying advice I’ve learned from my (far too many) years of covering Cyber Monday laptop sales to help you find the best laptop for your needs and budget.
