Best Cyber Monday laptop deals

Cyber Monday is here, and this is where the laptop deals start to get interesting. It's last chance avenue for you to pick up these Black Friday-tier savings, and you'll notice some of the best laptops get even cheaper.

Why is that? Well, if I can get nerdy for a second, it comes down to stock allocation. To prepare for the weekend, laptop makers will put a certain number of items to one side ready to sell at the lower price. If they have plenty left, that cost will come down slightly to shift the final few.

It may not happen for everything. For example, Apple is still staying strong with up to $400 off the brand new M4 MacBook Pros (you can see more about these in our Cyber Monday MacBook deals live blog). But we are seeing some price cuts across the board, including a further $20 off the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus and the Dell Inspiron 16 coming in at that same $749 price tag but with 32GB of RAM over 16GB.

Over in the UK, prices are remaining steady with the M4 MacBook Pro ar £150 off, and my favorite Chromebook from Acer staying at its lowest price.

So put simply, if you've held your nerve, you can get a better deal than you could've on Black Friday. But this is last chance alley for these savings!
