The best Cyber Monday laptop deals for 2024: Save on notebooks from Apple, Microsoft, Lenovo and more

While most Cyber Monday sales are just extensions of discounts from Black Friday, they still present a good opportunity to grab a solid notebook at a decent price. To help you avoid wasting cash, we’ve researched reviews, checked price histories and rounded up a few Cyber Monday laptop deals that are genuinely cheaper than usual.

The offers still bring several notebooks we’ve tested and recommended down to (or at least close to) their best prices to date. Apple's latest MacBook Air is available for a low of $844, for one, while the newest Microsoft Surface Laptop is $300 off. The top recommendation in our Chromebook buying guide is on sale as well, as is our pick for the best Windows notebook for those on a budget.

We’ll update this post if prices change and more deals pop up over the rest of the day. Just keep in mind that many of the deals below are for pre-configured models; if you want to spec out your machine more precisely, it’s worth buying directly from a manufacturer. You're also more likely to run into longer shipping times than we saw last week. 

• Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M3) for $844 at Amazon ($255 off MSRP): The latest MacBook Air is our pick for the best laptop you can buy. It ticks nearly all the boxes for those who prefer macOS, from its premium design and comfy keyboard to its lengthy battery life and capable performance for everyday use. We gave it a score of 90 in our review. A recent Bloomberg report said that Apple will likely release a minor refresh early next year, but this is a new low for the current base model, which includes Apple’s M3 chip, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. If you want more storage, the 512GB variant is down to an all-time low of $1,049. Also at Best Buy, but for $55 more.

• Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M3) for $1,044 at Amazon ($255 off): The 15-inch MacBook Air is more or less identical to the 13-inch version in terms of features and performance, but it has a more spacious display and better speakers. It is about 0.6 pounds heavier, though. This is the best price to date for the base model with an M3 chip, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but a version with double the storage space is available for a new low of $1,234 as well. The latter is also at Best Buy for $1,299.

• Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M2) for $799 at Amazon ($200 off): If you’re on a tighter budget, the last-generation MacBook Air gets you most of the things we love about the newer M3 model at a lower price. The main sacrifices are a slightly lesser chip, technically slower storage in the base model and no ability to connect to two external monitors. This deal is for the entry-level variant, which includes an M2 chip, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage — it's $50 more than the all-time low we saw during Black Friday but still $200 less than buying from Apple directly. Also at Best Buy.

• Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, M4 Pro) for $2,099 at Amazon ($300 off): The recently updated MacBook Pro is more laptop than most people need, but it's still a powerhouse for coders, media editors and those with more demanding needs. We gave it a 92 in our review earlier this month. Just keep in mind that there’s no USB-A port and, as with all Apple laptops, effectively no way to upgrade the device after purchase. This is the largest discount yet for the configuration with Apple’s M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. A version with 512GB of storage is $250 off and down to a low of $1,749 as well. Also at
