UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2022, 6:30 p.m. EST This story has been updated with Amazon’s latest and greatest laptop deals for Cyber Monday 2022.


Amazon can’t compete with Walmart on the extremely cheap (sub-$100) Chromebook front, but it’s still one of the absolute best places to find a laptop deal this holiday season.

The retail giant is already rolling out all-time-high discounts on higher-end Samsung Galaxy Books and Apple MacBooks (including Pro and Air configurations from earlier this year) for Cyber Monday. Shoppers in search of a basic Chromebook for kids or school can find plenty of options in the $100 to $300 range, including a couple of ASUS machines that come with free Office 265 or Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Gaming laptop deals from brands like MSI and Razer haven’t hit their stride on Amazon just yet, but we’ll be keeping a close eye out for their inevitable appearances.

One important thing to keep in mind as you peruse Amazon’s listings is that it loves to mess with laptops’ MSRPs (by either inflating or deflating them), often obscuring whether deals are actually good or not. It’s a good idea to cross-check prices on direct retailers’ websites to make sure you’re getting a good deal.

If that all sounds like a lot of work, fret not: We’re going through all of Amazon’s Cyber Monday laptop deals and picking out everything that’s actually worth buying based on true MSRPs and historical data from camelcamelcamel, a price-tracking site we rely on for fact-checking these kinds of things.
