Cyber Monday laptop live blog: the best chromebook and laptop deals live now


Cyber Monday laptop deals are finally here, even though we just went through one of the biggest silicon shortages ever. While some of my favorite laptops came out over the last year or so, they've been expensive and hard to come by - especially if you have been trying to buy a gaming laptop

So I was surprised when Black Friday rolled around and so many excellent gaming laptops were on sale. Now that Cyber Monday is right around the corner and it doesn't look like the deals are slowing down any time soon, it's time to go into overdrive to make sure we don't miss any spectacular deals. 

We're going to be spending the next couple of days finding all the best Cyber Monday laptop deals, so stay glued to this page and we'll find you the laptop of your dreams.

It's early on Cyber Monday morning, so let's get deal hunting! If you want a sleek and modern laptop, you can get the Asus VivoBook 15 OLED, with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 and 12GB of RAM for $694 at Amazon.

It's not a 2-in-1, but it's an OLED display which makes up for it. Pro tip: set a dark background and reap the battery life benefits.

Meanwhile, over in the UK, one of the best laptops in the world just got a big price cut on Cyber Monday, with the brilliant Dell XPS 13 now just £849.

This is the latest model, which comes with an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 512GB SSD and 8GB RAM, and it's Intel Evo certified, which means it comes with fast Thunderbolt 4 ports, turns on in a matter of seconds and has a battery life that lasts well beyond nine hours. 

This model has had a £150 price cut, which drops it from £1,149 to £999. Then, use the code CYBER15 for an extra 15% off.

That deal is also highlighted in our Cyber Monday Dell live blog which as the name suggests, focuses on devices from Dell.

I've gone on at length about this in the past, but my favorite gaming laptops are the ones that look like just any laptop but can still kick some ass. 

The reason I bring that up is that the MSI Stealth 15M with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is on sale for $1,282 at Amazon. Totally worth it.

OK, this is a great laptop deal in the UK. John Lewis has the MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020, M1) for £340 off for Cyber Monday. This is for last year's model with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, all for a new low price of £1,459.

Sure, this isn't the latest model with Apple's own M1 chip, but it's still a fantastic laptop from Apple, and is ideal for people looking for a laptop for creative work.

This model still comes with the Touch Bar! Rejoice! Or despair! Your choice, depending on how you feel about Apple's divisive mini touchscreen, which it's killed off on more recent MacBooks.

Speaking of recent MacBooks, Amazon has the brand-new 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip on sale for £100 off, knocking the price to £1,799.

Now, I know, I know, £100 off isn't going to be the biggest Cyber Monday price cut, but bear in mind that the MacBook Pro 14-inch came out mere weeks ago. Finding price cuts for Apple's devices is hard enough at the best of times, but a £100 discount on a brand new device? That's Cyber Monday magic, baby.

I can't believe I just typed that.

ANYWAY this is a simply amazing laptop, and with the 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU of the M1 Pro, coupled with 16GB of memory and 512GB SSD, this is one of the most powerful - and portable - laptops you can buy, with a simply stunning display. Honestly, this is well worth buying if you have the cash.
