A laptop is one of the biggest tech purchases for most people, so Cyber Monday is a great time to make that investment. Windows laptops, MacBooks, and even Chromebooks have their usual cadence of discounts and sales promotions from retailers like Best Buy, but this time of year is often when you can save a few hundred dollars and get a quality machine that should easily last more than a few years.
Yes, the timing may be a little awkward because CES is just around the corner in January and all the big Windows laptop manufacturers are introducing new generations of products there. But those anticipated models may take a couple more months to hit stores, and even longer before they see significant sales. If you need a laptop for productivity, content creation, or gaming, and you're in the market nowThese are your best options.
