The Best Cyber Monday Apple Watch Deals of 2024

For Cyber Monday, two of the three tiers of Apple Watches – the Apple Watch SE and the Apple Watch Series 10 – are still on sale right now at Amazon, Target, and Walmart. The Apple Watch Ultra had also been discounted on Black Friday, but unfortunately that one expired prematurely. If you own an iPhone, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are easily the best times of year to pick yourself an Apple watch at the lowest price possible. After all, the Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for iOS users. It's sleek and stylish, it's chock full of useful features that complement your iPhone, and it's surprisingly affordable. In fact, the Apple Watch SE might be the least expensive smartwatch you could get.

For more workout gear, check out our list of the best fitness deals for Black Friday.

Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen)

The best budget Apple Watch

For anyone on a budget, this is the Apple Watch to get. The second-generation Apple Watch SE starts at just $149 only at Amazon and Walmart. This is the best price we've ever seen for a brand-new Apple Watch with a warranty. Despite the affordable price tag, you actually don't lose out on much functionality if you opt for an Apple Watch SE. It's powered by the same S8 processor found in the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra. It also features a bright and sharp OLED Retina display, IPX7 water resistance, fall detection, sleep tracking, Apple Pay, nearly all the fitness tracking functionality including heart rate monitoring, and more. The $149 model does have a smaller 40mm face, but it might actually be a better fit for more petite wrists.

Apple Watch Series 10

The best Apple Watch for most people

The Apple Watch Series 10 is the newest generation mainstream model and is currently $70 off at several retailers including Amazon, Target, and Walmart. The price starts at $329 for the base model with a 42mm case and GPS + Wi-Fi functionality. Improvements over the Apple Watch Series 9 include a bigger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that isn't faster but it's thinner, which allows the watch itself to have a slimmer profile, and new some new (although admittedly trivial) features like a water depth gauge. If you do already own an Apple Watch 9, there's little reason here to upgrade.

Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 10 has a bigger display and Always-On functionality, 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, more advanced fitness tracking and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. The Series 10 is pricier than the SE, but I think the upgrades are worth it for most people.

Apple Watch Ultra 2

The best Apple Watch for the rugged outdoors

The second generation Apple Watch Ultra Smart Watch is down to $619.99 $719.99. That's the best price we've seen for Apple's highest end and most rugged watch in its lineup. It's definitely the best watch if you enjoy the rugged outdoors.

The Apple Watch Ultra features a titanium case that's more rugged and corrosion resistant than the softer aluminum or stainless steel casing found in the less expensive Apple Watches. Pure titanium (not titanium "coated") metal is considerably more expensive and is probably one of the main reasons why the Apple Watch Ultra is so much pricier. The size of the case is also larger at 49mm (compared to 41mm-45mm for the Series 8) so it feels more substantial.

Other upgrades over the standard Series 10 include a brighter display protected by a more scratch resistant sapphire crystal face, a more precise dual-frequency GPS, beam-forming triple microphone array, dual speakers, up to 36 hours of battery life, up to 100m (300ft) of water resistance, a customizable physical action button next to the crown, and a built-in Oceanic+ app that literally puts a dive computer on your wrist.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

Although it's technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn't worth it. If you're absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option. For those of you quite happy with your Android smarpthone, there are plenty of Android smartwatches that would be a better fit than the Apple Watch.

Looking for More Apple Deals?

These are just a few of Apple's Cyber Monday deals, so check out the rest if you're in the Apple ecosystem. If particular, if you're looking for an iPad, there are plenty of amazing Cyber Monday iPad deals going on right now. And if you've decided to upgrade to a new pair of buds, the Apple AirPods Pro has also dropped to the lowest price ever.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.

Target Cyber Monday 2024: 5 Hidden Gems You Might've Missed

There's nothing more satisfying than finishing up your holiday shopping for friends and family, looking back at the receipts and realizing exactly how much you saved. Though Black Friday has come and gone, Cyber Monday invites a whole new slew of deals for you to shop smart on a budget while grabbing rave-worthy gifts for your friends and family.

Target has an especially competitive lineup of Cyber Monday deals, including major discounts on electronics, beauty products, and cookingware. We've compiled a list of the five hidden gems you might have missed at this sale-savvy retailer — suggestions we're sure would make perfect holiday gifts at a range of price points.

Don't wait until the last few days before the holidays when stores are jam-packed, items are full price, and stock is limited. Your best bet is to grab these items now, while they're at the lowest prices you'll see all year.

Settlers of Catan Board Game - $25.49

Settlers of Catan is one of the most bestselling strategy board games of all time, according to company data provided to NPR. And if you've played it for yourself, it's no surprise why. Each game is different depending on the amount of players, who you're playing with, and a little bit of luck. For the friends and family in your life who haven't tried it, or maybe don't have their own copy, you can grab the base game from Target right now for just $25.49, shaving $18.50 off its list price of $43.99.

It's a simple game to learn, dealing primarily with turn-based strategy and bartering among players. The goal of the game is to reach 10 or more victory points before anyone else, which you get from creating villages and cities with resource cards you randomly receive each turn based on other players' dice rolls. I won't get into the nitty gritty of it all, but it's a modern classic beloved among board game fans, and the ideal game to pull out for family gatherings on cold December nights (just don't blame us when things inevitably get heated).

The best part of this deal is that Target is also currently offering a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion on a variety of other board games in their collection, which means you can pair the base game with a couple expansion packs for an incredibly fair price.

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush - $32.99

Let me assure you, this one-step hair dryer, volumizer and brush can truly do it all. Speaking from personal experience, I use this product religiously for a quick blow-out every morning, and it works wonders. You can grab this brush from Target for $32.99 — a 40% off discount from its list price of $54.99, which is a steal when you consider the money you'll save the lucky recipient from skipping trips to the salon.

This Revlon brush leaves hair feeling smooth and silky, eliminating frizz and hair damage that's par for the course with a regular blow-dryer. Plus, if you're impatient like me, this device gets the job done in minutes — it offers three different heat settings to get your hair dry at rapid speed.

For my fellow ladies out there with curtain bangs, it's the perfect device to seamlessly swoop your front layers to the side with ease. The blend of brush and blow dryer in one makes it so you can shape and style while removing moisture from your hair. Plus, there's a built-in cooling option so you can flexibilly style according to your hair type.

Keurig K-Iced Plus Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker with Iced Coffee Option - $64.99

If you're stumped on what to get your kid in college, look no further. Sleepless nights preparing for exams are a whole lot easier with your own coffee maker. But Keurigs are especially great because they do all of the work for you, aside from turning it on, adding water, and placing a pod with the roast of your choice into the machine. These are also just a great kitchen addition to any home for those days where you only want a single serving of coffee rather than the whole pot.

What sets the Keurig K-Iced Plus machine apart from other models is that you can even brew coffee over ice directly from the machine. The brewer will auto-adjust the temperature, starting hot to extract the full flavor, and then cooling down significantly to minimize ice meltage so your coffee never tastes watered down. It's a quintessential multi-use machine for both hot and cold beverages, and like other Keurigs, it comes with options for three brewing sizes — 8, 10, and 12oz.

Plus, at just 5" wide, it can easily fit on any countertop or in the confines of a dorm room. You can pick up a Keurig K-Iced Plus Single-Serve Coffee Maker from Target for $64.99 right now — a 50% off markdown from its $129.99 list price. You'll save $65.00 on this purchase, but the recipient of this gift will save hundreds from switching to at-home brews instead of coffee shop excursions. Take this gift a step further by pairing it with a box of starter pods: Target is selling La Colombe pods in medium and dark roasts right now for 26% off.

Beats Studio Buds True Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds - $79.99

For the music lovers in your life, Target's deal on the Beats Studio Buds is pretty unbeatable. These ear buds usually sell for $149.99, but right now you can get them for just $79.99. At a hefty 47% markdown from their retail value, it's well worth it to pick these up while the sale lasts. These buds are an excellent alternative to AirPods if you're in the market for a more cost effective option.

Like modern AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds offer noise reduction technology that allows users to toggle between Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency modes to control how much they can hear of the outside world. Three different eartip sizes are provided with purchase to ensure a comfortable fit that also optimizes acoustic delivery.

These ear buds actually provide even more playtime than standard AirPods, allowing users to keep jamming for up to eight hours with noise reduction features turned off, or five hours when these features are being utilized. When plugged into the pocket-sized charging case, these buds can keep going for a maximum of 24 hours.

If you're more in the market for a standard pair of headphones, the Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are also heavily discounted at Target. You can purchase a pair right now for $159.99, which is 54% off from the list price of $349.99, saving you a total of $190.

Elephas 1080p HD Mini Projector - $99.99

A mini projector is a fantastic gift for any film buff to take their movie-watching experience to the next level. Or, give it to a friend who loves camping so they can bring a compact theater with them wherever they go. Right now, Target is selling these mini projector sets (tripod and bag included) for $99.99, which is $100.00 (or 50% off) from their retail value of $199.99.

This is one of the latest models from Elephas, so it's equipped with all of the best technology to ensure crisp, high resolution picture quality. The projector supports 1080p HD video and uses a German emerald glass lens to deliver vibrant color. Don't be deceived by its tiny appearance; with this device, video can be projected on a screen as big as 200". The Elephas Mini Projector also comes with several ports, so you can connect to your laptop, PC, TV, Chromebook, tablet, Blu-ray or DVD player, smartphone, or a USB flash drive on a whim.

The Target bundle comes with a carrying bag, which is essential to ensure the safety of your device while you're on the go, as well as a tripod, which means you won't have to craft a DIY stand to get the best angle for projecting.

The Cyber Monday iPad Deals Are Selling Out Quickly, Here Are the Best Deals of 2024

Apple has a reputation of being stingy when it comes to discounts and sales, but you'll be still be able to take advantage of significant savings on iPads during the holiday season. Deals on select Apple iPads - including new 2024 models - went live during Black Friday and has continued to stay live through Cyber Monday from retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Unfortunately, prices are climbing back up and the most popular models are going out of stock. Apple products that go out of stock probably won't return. If you see a deal you are interested in, you should jump on it sooer than later.

Featured in this article

The list of iPads and their lowest prices are listed above. For a breakdown of each iPad model, read on below.

iPad 10th Gen

Right now 10th gen Apple iPad is down to $259 only at Walmart. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This model has significant improvements over its predecessor. For starters, it boasts a larger 10.9" screen without adding to the overall dimensions thanks to a slimmer bezel. It also has a faster A14 Bionic chip, which is a 20% increase in CPU performance and 10% increase in GPU performance over the A13. It's now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow (making it one of the best iPads for students). Other upgrades include the transition to a USB Type-C port, a better camera, and the Wi-Fi 6 protocol.

iPad 9th Gen

This super popular deal is back at Target. The iPad 9th Gen is the most affordable iPad model you can get brand new with warranty. Currently you would have to pay an extra $60 to upgrade to the newest 10th gen Apple iPad, which may not be worth it for many people. Despite its very low price tag, the 9th gen Apple iPad is a fully featured and capable tablet. The 10.2" Retina display is bright and crisp, and the Apple A13 Bionic chip offers good CPU and GPU performance. The iPad is also equipped with both a front-facing camera for voice chat and rear camera for taking photos and videos. This is a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service.

iPad Pro (M4)

The 2024 iPad Pro is the best tablet, iOS or otherwise, thanks to the new M4 processor which is both powerful and power efficient. Amazon has dropped the prices by up to $200 and I don't think the price will drop any further. In our iPad Pro M4 review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote, "For creative professionals, the 2024 iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet on the market and is going to shine if your work revolves around a touchscreen. For the rest of us, though, the iPad Pro is simply the most beautiful display you'll find in a tablet, with hardware that's powerful enough to be a top-end device for years to come."

Compared to the previous generation iPad M2, the new M4 chip boosts performance across the board by about 20%. However, the biggest update of the iPad Pro is actually the newer processor, but instead the tandem OLED panel which hadn't previously been seen on an Apple product. Tandem OLED is better than traditional OLED in two ways: (1) it's far brighter and (2) it's less prone to burn-in. If you're wondering why this technology hasn't found its way into TVs, the answer is simply because it's not cost effective. The iPad can get away with it because the display is much smaller, but that's also why the iPad Pro is priced much higher than the other iPads in Apple's 2024 lineup.

iPad Air (M2)

The 2024 iPad Air is nearly as powerful as the iPad Pro but at a much lower price point. It comes in two sizes, an 11" display with 2360-by-1640 (264ppi) resolution and a 13" display with 2732x2048 (264ppi) resolution. The display is superior to the one found on the standard iPad model with more premium features like P3 wide color, True Tone, and an ultra-low reflectivity film that helps combat glare and direct sunlight. Upgrades over the previous gen iPad Air include an M2 chip that's 15% faster in CPU performance and 25% faster in GPU performance over the M1, compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, and adoption of newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 6E and USB Type-C.

We chose the iPad Air as our best iPad of 2024 because it’s the ideal tablet for both casual and professional use -- from watching videos, listening to music, drawing with the Apple Pencil to getting some work done with the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio or Apple Magic Keyboard.

iPad Mini (A17 Pro)

The 2024 iPad Mini is priced at $469 exclusively at Amazon. This is the most recent model that was released on October 23 of this year. The iPad Mini may be the most diminutive tablet of the bunch, but that doesn't mean it's hindered in any way. This is the most compact and portable iPad measuring 7.7" long, 5.3" wide, and only 0.25" thin, but still manages to pack in a gorgeous 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. This new generation improves upon its predecessor, with a more powerful A17 Pro processor, double the base storage capacity, an updated faster Wi-Fi 6e protocol, a USB Type-C port that offers faster charging, compatibility with the newer Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and upcoming support for Apple Intelligence.

iPad Mini 6th Gen (A15 Bionic)

Don't discount the older iPad Mini just yet. Even with the release of the new iPad Mini, the 6th gen iPad Mini has plenty of power and features under the hood that keep it up to date. Walmart currently has it for $358, lower than anyone else. Like its successor, the 6th gen iPad Mini boasts an 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. It's powered by an Apple A15 Bionic processor, which is still superior to the A14 Bionic found on the 10 generation iPad. It's also equipped with a USB Type-C port for supports the Apple Pencil 2 Apple Pencil (USB-C) for better workflow.

The Best Cyber Monday Gaming PC Deals of 24: Walmart and Lenovo Are the Winners Right Now

Without a doubt, the period between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the best time of year to upgrade your gaming PC. Several retailers including Alienware, Best Buy, Walmart, HP, and Lenovo have released excellent Cyber Monday deals on gaming PCs ranging from budget to best. There are a lot of options to choose from, and I've highlighted the deals I think stand above the rest. More deals may show up on Monday, and if they do, I'll make sure to add them to thlis list.

Looking for gaming laptops instead? Check out the best Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals.

This might very well be the best gaming PC deal of Cyber Monday. As part of its Walmart Cyber Monday Sale, Walmart is offering this iBuyPower Y40 gaming PC with AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU and the excellent RTX 4070 GPU for only $1199. The RTX 4070 Super is one of the best graphics cards for most people; it's affordably priced and yet it's powerful enough to run games at up to 4K (although 1440p is its sweet spot). I personally gamed on a 4K monitor with a RTX 3080 GPU (less powerful than the RTX 4070 Super) before I upgraded. The system is contained in a nice looking Hyte Y40 midtower chassis (iBuyPower and Hyte are sister brands).

Walmart also has this CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme gaming PC for only $1,199 after a $370 instant discount. This PC features an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU, Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a relatively recent (March 2024) release. It's roughly 10-15% faster than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU and is more comparable to the new RTX 4070 Super. This rig is ideal for gaming at up to 1440p resolution at high framerates, although it can also run most games in 4K.

This the currently the best Cyber Monday deal at Lenovo. This Legion Tower 7i RTX 4080 Super gaming PC is currently available for under $2000 with coupon code "LEGIONC5SALE24". This system will pretty much run any game in 4K at maximum settings, even with ray tracing enabled. We rarely see a Legion RTX 4080 gaming PC ever drop below $2,000, and we even reviewed it (favorably) as well.

This Lenovo Legion Tower 5 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, RTX 4070 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. That's a good price for a gaming PC with well rounded specs ready to go without any upgrades. The RTX 4070 Super outperforms the RTX 4070 by a decent amount. In her RTX 4070 Super review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the mid-range card we should have got back when the RTX 4000 generation launched. It's around 16% faster in most games at the same price. If you've been waiting to make your GPU upgrade, now's the time."

The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Super gaming PC drops to $2,999.99 after a massive $1,000 instant discount. It features an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, RTX 4090 GPU, 64GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. In his RTX 4090 review, Chris Coke writes, "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out." The 4090 is also great for AI thanks to its 24GB of VRAM.Crucial® DDR5 Pro OC Gaming DRAM

The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC features a Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The RTX 4060 Ti video card is a very good option for 1080p gaming at high frame rates. It's also the minimum NVIDIA GPU we'd recommend for 1440p gaming.

HP's new sensibly designed Omen 35L gaming PC is least expensive at Best Buy. This attractive gaming desktop features an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 4060 Ti video card is a very good option for 1080p gaming at high frame rates. It's also the minimum NVIDIA GPU we'd recommend for 1440p gaming.

More Best Buy Cyber Monday Deals

The OMEN 45L is HP's flagship gaming PC. This is HP's roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of three 120mm fans positioned at the front of the case and another three 120mm fans attached to the 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling radiator at the top of the case. This PC is equipped with a massive 1,200W 80PLUS Gold certified power supply that's big enough for even the most power-hungry of gaming PCs.

For $900 less, HP has another OMEN 45L gaming PC on sale. This configuration is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for only $2,099.99 after a $700 off discount.

More HP Cyber Monday Deals

HP has kicked off its Black Friday Sale, which includes deals on their Omen and Victus gaming PCs. Save up to $1,000 off HP's flagship Omen 45L gaming PC, which is equipped with your choice of an RTX 4090 or 4080 Super GPU and 240mm-360mm AIO liquid cooling. For the budget-minded, the HP Victus gaming PC with RTX 4060 GPU is down to $779.99.

If you're in the process of building out a new gaming PC and you're looking for the best gaming processor, this is it. Right now, the recently released AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is back in stock at Amazon at its retail price of $479 shipped. This is the official launch price with zero markup, and it's not bundled with anything you don't want or need.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor currently on the market and a much better option than the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. If you're waiting for a discount on this processor for Black Friday, though, don't hold your breath. There is the slimmest of slim chances that anyone will drop the price of this hot commodity before 2025.

In our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, Jackie Thomas wrote that "the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is extremely powerful in games, which makes it easier to recommend than other recent processors like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9900X. Especially if you’re building a rig with a powerful graphics card, the 9800X3D is going to be the best way to get the most performance out of whichever GPU you pair it with.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired.

21 Nintendo Switch Games You Can Get for $30 or Less Right Now (Including Tears of the Kingdom)

Switch games aren't known for being cheap. Especially when it comes to first-party Nintendo titles like Zelda and Mario, you often see games sticking with an above $40 price tag years and years after their release. That's why this deals season, the number one thing I had my eye on was price drops on Switch games, and for the first time (maybe ever), Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have exceeded my expectations. While the Nintendo eShop has its own digital game sale underway, some of the best Switch games have their lowest prices ever at select retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart.

With major price cuts to games that typically cost upwards of $50 (looking at you, Zelda), these Cyber Monday deals aren't getting any better. We’re here to help you find the best picks for Nintendo's handheld while holiday shopping on a budget. Here's 12 Switch games under $30, and 9 more Switch games under $20.

The Best Switch Game Deal, Period - Tears of the Kingdom for $30

If you just want a straight answer about the best Cyber Monday game deal, look no further than Tears of the Kingdom for $30. Usually retailing for a full $69.99, this $40 discount from Walmart is an unprecedented deal for a first-party Nintendo game, let alone one of the best games ever. And in case you were wondering, Walmart's deal is $20 cheaper than the eShop.

11 More Switch Games Under $30:

The Best Switch Game Under $20 - Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection

This might kind of be cheating, but if you want the most bang for your buck, Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is over 50% off, making it my top pick for the best Switch game under $20 right now. If you recently finished Metaphor Re:Fantazio and want to check out more Atlus games, Persona 5 Royal is down to $15.

8 More Switch Games Under $20:

Amazon Has Unbeatable Cyber Monday Deals on Switch Accessories

If you’re planning on taking advantage of Walmart’s $30 Tears of the Kingdom deal, you’d be remiss to disregard Amazon’s abundant deals on memory cards. A regular Nintendo Switch holds only 32GB of internal storage, and the Legend of Zelda entry takes up about half of that space. But don’t fret! With Amazon’s nearly half off discount on the Lexar 1TB Play microSDXC memory card, you can ensure you have room to download all of your favorite games without spending a small fortune.

When Do Switch Games Go on Sale?

If you’re looking to expand your game library, now is the time to do so. Switch games rarely go on sale, and when they do, they tend to sell out quick. These are some of the lowest prices I've ever seen on the games listed above, and I doubt those prices will get lower over the holidays. That said, I do recommend keeping an eye on the Deals section in the Nintendo eShop.

If you’re not a Switch gamer, there’s plenty more gaming deals to take advantage of this holiday season for PlayStation and Xbox. Or, check out IGN’s picks for the best tech sales on TVs, gaming PCs and Apple devices.

Walmart's Cyber Monday Sale Is Live Now

Walmart's Cyber Monday 2024 sale is now live for everyone. That means you can save a bunch on everything from LEGO sets to housewares, from gaming laptops to PS5 controllers. You can scroll down to see our picks for the best deals across all sorts of categories, or you can skip all that and see all the deals here. It's your call.

Pokemon TCG Legendary Warriors Premium Collection

This Pokemon Trading Card Game collection is selling fast and contains the following:

  • 2 foil cards featuring Zacian V and Zamazenta V
  • 2 foil cards featuring Zacain and Zamazenta
  • 1 oversize foil card featuring Zacian V
  • 14 Pokemon TCG booster packs
  • A code card for Pokemon TCG Live

FitRx 52.5lb Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

Far and away, one of the most popular Walmart deals over past week has been this pair of adjustable dumbbells. Without filling your house with bulky weights, it lets you quickly pick how much you want to lift and get started lifting. It's like an entire weight rack in a compact package. It's also three times cheaper than Bowflex's take on the exact same idea.

PS5 Hardware Deals

Cyber Monday is a great time to save on Sony hardware. You can get an all-time best price on PS5 bundles (either with or without a disc drive). This is also the best-ever price on PSVR 2, if you want to venture into virtual reality. And the Pulse 3D headset is another terrific pickup at this price.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Digital) for $30

Physical copies sold out quickly at this price, but you can still grab a digital copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom $30. That's a terrific price (over half off!) on one of the best games ever made. Don't expect to see this price again until next holiday season.

Switch Games for $30

During regular sales throughout the year, Nintendo never drops prices on Switch games to $30. It's just unheard of. Thankfully, Cyber Monday is no regular sale, so you can score the best deals of the year on both first-party and third-party Nintendo Switch games.

LG C4 OLED 4K Smart TV for $1272

Cyber Monday is also the best time of year to buy a new TV. This is a killer deal on one of the best TVs on the market (see our best 4K TV, best TV for gaming, and best TV for PS5 guides for proof). Walmart currently has the newest 2024 model 65" LG Evo C4 4K OLED Smart TV down to only $1,272.44. To get this price you will need to follow these simple steps:

  1. You'll need to sign into your Walmart account to see this deal (signing up is free)
  2. Add the 65" LG Evo C4 4K OLED TV to your cart
  3. Clip the $224.55 coupon in your shopping cart to bring it down to $1,272.44

The deal is so popular that the TV is on backorder, but you can lock this price in now, and it'll ship when it's available.

50" Philips 144Hz 4K Ultra HD Gaming Smart LED TV for $298

If you want a modestly priced 144Hz 4K TV for gaming, this 50-inch Philips is a solid bet at just $298. That's a lot of TV for not much price. It won't have as nice a display as the LG C4 above, but it ought to look good enough.

55" Hisense R6 4K TV for $178

I can't believe this one is still in stock. One of Walmart's doorbuster deals is a 55-inch Hisense 4K TV for just $178. It might not have all the top-of-the-line features of the latest, much pricier TVs, but it'll do just fine for many instances, like as a TV for a bedroom or guest room.

More TV Deals

If you don't want the two TVs listed above, perhaps one of these will fit the bill. There's a variety of TVs on sale right now that run the gamut in terms of features and price points.

PS5 and Xbox Game Deals

If you're looking for Black Friday video game deals, Walmart has some serious doorbusters, with prices lower than we've seen anywhere else, sometimes by a lot. Two of this year's biggest PS5 exclusives, Rise of hte Ronin and Helldivers 2, are both on sale for just $30. The excellent action-RPG Hogwarts Legacy is the same price. That's killer.

Gaming Laptop and Monitor Cyber Monday Deals

Gaming laptops are on sale right now for reasonable prices, as are a couple of gaming monitors. These aren't super high-end machines, but they ought to be able to play modern games on them for a while to come.

Board Game Cyber Monday Deals

Board games are also on sale for Cyber Monday. These include a lot of time-tested classic board games, as well as a smattering of more modern entries. And if you pick up Monopoly: The Witcher Edition, you'll bridge both.

LEGO Cyber Monday Deals

If you've been a fan of LEGO in recent years, you may have noticed the sets getting more expensive. That's a bummer, but sales like this Cyber Monday one can help ease the pain on the pocketbook. Some of our favorite Marvel and Disney-themed sets are included in the deals.

Up to $500 Gift Card with Select Phones

The iPhone 16 just came out, so you're not likely to find too many deals on it just yet. That said, Walmart has the next best thing for Cyber Monday. You get free gift cards (up to $500) with the purchase of select iPhone and Android models. That includes the brand-new, as well as Samsung Galaxy S24. If you have an eligible phone to trade in, you can get up to $1,500 in gift cards, which just seems wild.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C for $154

The price of the latest model of AirPods Pro has never been this low, and these noise-canceling earbuds are absolutely fantastic. I have a pair, and I couldn't live without them. I wear them on runs, while mowing the lawn, while doing the dishes, and many other times besides. If you have an iPhone or other Apple device to use them with, I wholeheartedly recommend them. For an added bonus, pick up a MagSafe charger (on sale for $29) to charge them wirelessly.

Apple Watch SE for $149

Not everyone needs to spend $400 to get the smartwatch to suit their needs. If a basic Apple Watch will fulfill the role you want it to, then you don't actually need to spend more than $149. The Apple Watch SE has all the features you probably want in a smartwatch, without all the extra sensors and features they've tacked on since.

Kitchen and Home Deals

It's not always fun to buy new appliances and items for your home and kitchen, but it is often necessary. Right now for Cyber Monday, you can save on everything from air fryers to blenders, from vacuums to food storage containers. See the all the discounted home and kitchen items here.

Seasonal Decor Deals

The time for Christmas decorations has arrived. If your halls could be decked with new pieces, you'll probably want to spend as little as possible. These Cyber Monday discounts help you do just that. You can see the whole category here.

Headsets and Earbud Deals

If discounts are music to your ears, then check out these terrific deals on earbuds and over-ear headphones. You can save on brands like Beats, Apple, and JLab.

Toy Deals

From riding toys to plushes, plenty of toys are on sale at Walmart for Cyber Monday. Scroll through the ones above for the kids on your gift list this year. And if you want even more choices, check out all the toy deals in the sale.

Batteries, Portable Chargers, and More Tech Deals

We can't cover all of the categories here so see all the tech deals in Walmart's sale if the ones above don't cover your Cyber Monday shopping needs.

Walmart+ Cyber Monday Deal

Walmart+ gets you free shipping from the website with no minimum order and free delivery on $35+ orders from stores (groceries and anything else your local Walmart sells). It also includes a subscription to Paramount+, discounts at Burger King, savings on fuel at select gas stations, and more.

Why Pay $400 for Bowflex When You Can Get These FitRX Adjustable Dumbbells for $139 for Cyber Monday

Bowflex isn't the only option when it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, especially on Cyber Monday. FitRX is another popular brand at a much, much lower price point. As part of the Walmart Cyber Monday Sale, you can pick up a pair of FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells for only $139.97. A comparable set of Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbells costs three times more. Walmart even offers free shipping, which is great since the package will weigh in at well over 100 pounds.

Update: A pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells just dropped to $379 on Amazon for Black Friday. Retail price is $429. That price seems comically expensive compared to these.

Pair of FitRX Adjustable Dumbbells (52.5lbs Each)

The low price of $140 gets you a pair of FitRx adjustable dumbbells, or $69.50 apiece. Each dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way to 50 pounds. The weight can be adjusted across 15 increments (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 52.5lbs) with just a turn of the dial. The advantage of an adjustable dumbbell is that the plates are all neatly contained in a small tray, which means this set will take up far less floor space than an entire rack of individual dumbbells. A stand isn't included; you can add the official stand for $50 but honestly any sturdy stand or table will do.

I haven't personally tried out this exact brand of dumbbells, but I can tell you that although they are cleverly engineered, adjustable dumbbells feature a relatively simple design with few moving parts (and no electronics and software) so they are easy to replicate. The FitRx dumbbells have plenty of positive reviews on Walmart, with over 2,700 users rating it an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars. This Black Friday deal is exclusively at Walmart.

Free weights are a great choice for anyone who wants to work out at home but is limited on space. A pair of dumbbells is all the equipment you need to get access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. Supplement your free weight exercises with cardio and other workouts that use your own body weight as resistance (like pushups, burpees, or squats) and you may never need to purchase more equipment.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.

Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Deals Are Still Live for Cyber Monday

Black Friday may be over, but the deals are still in full swing for Best Buy and Amazon's Cyber Monday sales. The time is now to give your kitchen a makeover by stocking up on new appliances for some of the lowest prices you'll see all year. Ninja Foodi products are especially discounted right now for the holiday season, so we've put together a list of the air fryers you can still purchase for the most bang for your buck.

Ninja Foodi 10qt XL 2-Basket Air Fryer

Save $126.50 on this air fryer when you purchase at Best Buy today for Cyber Monday. Normally sold for $249.99, the Ninja Foodi XL 2-Basket Air Fryer is currently being offered for half off at $123.49. It's the perfect addition to your kitchen for hosting large gatherings of friends and family, with two separate 5qt cooking baskets that let you simultaneously cook two different foods two different ways.

Its DualZone technology makes timing your meals easier than ever, ensuring that settings are synced across zones so that both baskets finish cooking on time. An integrated Foodi Smart Thermometer also guarantees that your meats reach the perfect internal temperature – no more dry, overcooked chicken breast.

It's an incredibly versatile product that comes with six cooking pre-sets, including Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. My personal favorite use is the Air Fry function, which makes eating french fries feel guilt-free — the Ninja Foodi XL gets them extra crispy without using any oil and up to 75% less fat.

Ninja - Foodi DualZone FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7qt MegaZone

If you're looking for a slightly cheaper option and don't require as much space, the Ninja Foodi DualZone FlexBasket Air Fryer is the perfect middle ground. This air fryer is selling for $99.99 at Best Buy, but it typically has a retail price of $179.99 any other time of the year.

Cook a large protein in one basket and a side dish in the other to create the perfect family dinner, all using just one device. Each basket holds 3.5qts, and they're separated by a removable divider so you can maximize the full 7qt capacity — the MegaZone — of your air fryer. You'll still have access to the six stand-out cooking presets as well as DualZone technology that allows you to cook two foods different ways and sync your settings so your food all finishes at the same time.

Ninja - Foodi 8qt 2-Basket Air Fryer

Currently selling for $119.99 — an $80 markdown from its $199.99 list price — the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8qt 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology is the next best thing to the XL model at an extremely fair price. It has all the same bells and whistles as the XL model, but with 1qt less capacity in each basket. It was the first air fryer of its kind to feature two independent cooking baskets, which is what paved the way for later models like the XL and Max to hit the shelves.

If the deal on the XL sells out, this is another great option. But honestly, for less than $4 extra, it's worth it to get the slightly bigger model.

Ninja Foodi Max Digital Air Fryer

This product is making waves on Amazon UK, where it's priced at £159 — a total of £80 less than its retail value. Unfortunately, if you're in the US, this probably isn't the deal for you unless you're willing to pay over $150 in postage and packing fees.

The Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer is like the sleek British cousin of the XL model, with both offering similar functions and storage capacities. The main difference comes down to appearance — with the Max boasting copper hardware that makes it an appliance worthy of staying out for the long haul on your kitchen counter.

This product has an extra large 9.5L (about 10qts) capacity and two separate cooking baskets, which makes prepping dinner for a large group of people extra convenient. Like the XL model, the same six cooking functions are built into the product. The only difference among the presets between the XL and the Max is the "Max Crisp" setting, which subs in for the XL model's "Air Broil" setting.

More Cyber Monday Deals

Cyber Monday officially starts tomorrow, but don't miss this opportunity to grab these powerhouse products for a fraction of the cost. For more fun new finds that will make your kitchen shine and your cooking stand out, check out these deals that are still live on espresso machines, blenders, ice cream machines. We'll keep you updated as more get posted and others sell out.

All the Best Cyber Monday Board Game Deals

Believe it or not, Cyber Monday deals are already here. Many of last week's deals are still alive and well, and a new batch of discounts is also coming online. Included in the latter category are a whole bunch of new Cyber Monday deals on board games. We're talking board games of all kinds, from the classics your parents grew up playing to bleeding-edge new games all the cool kids are talking about. Read on, because we've gathered the best board game deals from all the major retailers below.

Amazon's Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale

If you want to stock up on board games, then your best bet this Cyber Monday is Amazon's Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale. It features lots of excellent games to bring to the table, including family board games like Exploding Kittens to adults-only games like Cards Against Humanity. Some of these are party board games, while others are deep strategy board games like The Lord of the Rings. Basically any category of board game you want to play is represented in the sale.

More Amazon Board Game Deals

Outside of the above deal that rewards multiple purchases, plenty of individual board games are on sale at Amazon for (sometimes) all-time low prices. You're not going to find Azul for less than $13.33 anytime soon, because that's the lowest price we've ever seen on it (per the price-tracking site Camelcamelcamel). Ditto Disney Lorcana. Scroll through and grab whatever games grab you.

Walmart Board Game Deals

Not to be outdone, Walmart has plenty of board game deals of its own for Cyber Monday, though the options don't go too deep. These are mostly board game mainstays, like Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Scrabble. But if you don't have some of these on your shelf, they make excellent additions – especially at these discounted prices.

Target Board Game Deals

If you want to see the scale of Target's truly massive Cyber Monday board game sale, take a look at the full sale here. It has over 5,000 items in it. We've selected some of the highlights above, but that just skims the surface of what's available.

Black Friday vs Cyber Monday

Typically, the deals available on Cyber Monday are similar to what you'll find on Black Friday. Back in the olden days of yore, Black Friday was an in-store shopping event and Cyber Monday offered an online alternative. As people became more comfortable doing their shopping online, these two events gradually blurred into the several-weeks-long mishmash of savings you know it as today. Even so, some deals are Cyber Monday-exclusive, and some are even better deals than you'll find during Black Friday. So stay nimble and when you see a deal you can't pass up, grab it.

Save 40% Off the Apple AirPods Pro for Cyber Monday

The best Cyber Monday AirPods deal is still available, although it looks to be selling out quickly. The Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-canceling earbuds dropped to $154 during the leadup to Black Friday, and although most retailers have bumpted the price back up to $170, a few - namely Amazon and Walmart - still have it discounted for Cyber Monday. This discount brings the price down to the same level as the Apple AirPods 4 with noise cancellation. Between the two, the AirPods Pro is still Apple's best earbuds because it offers better sound quality and better noise cancellation.

Apple AirPods Pro for $154

The AirPods Pro is the best-sounding "truly wireless" earbuds for iPhone users thanks to its passively isolating in-ear design, low-distortion driver and amp, and the newer Apple H2 chip. In addition to being only one of two AirPods earbuds with active noise cancellation, the AirPods Pro has useful features like "Adaptive Transparency Mode" to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds and "Conversation Mode" that automatically enhances the voices of people you're talking to. The newer second-generation AirPods Pro replaces the Lightning port with a more universal USB Type-C port so you don't have to mix and match cables, and also includes a MagSafe charging case by default.

Should you get the AirPods Pro over AirPods 4 with ANC?

Normally, I would suggest going with the AirPods 4 ANC because it's usually $70 cheaper. However, if the price is taken out of equation, the AirPods Pro is a superior earbud. Both feature active noise cancellation, but the AirPods Pro produces better sound and more effective noise cancelling because of its design. The AirPods 4 ANC is an open-ear style earbud with non-adjustable tips. They're designed to sit right outside of the ear which – while comfortable – means you get plenty of sound leakage and ambient noise intrusion.

On the other hand, the AirPods Pro is an in-ear style of earbud that sits right inside your ear canal, sealing the passage and passively isolating it from the ambient air. Adjustable tips are included to accomodate different sized ears and ensure you get that proper sealing fit, which is very important to squeeze out the best performance. At this price, the only compelling reason to still go for the AirPods 4 ANC is if you don't like the intrusive nature of in-ear style earbuds in general.

This is just one of Apple's Cyber Monday deals, so check out the rest if you're in the Apple ecosystem. If particular, if you're looking for an iPad, there are a few straggler Cyber Monday iPad deals going on right now (although most have expired). If you're planning to upgrade your smartphone in the near future, the new iPhone 16 is a solid contender. In our iPhone 16 review, Mark Knapp wrote that, "The iPhone 16 performs great, looks good, and snaps nice photos."

These "AirPods" are just as good

The AirPods Max is the crown jewel of Apple's AirPods lineup, but that quality doesn't come cheap. The wireless headset is normally priced at $550, but for Cyber Monday, Amazon has dropped the price down to $399. That's a $150 (28%) off and the lowest price we've seen. Unlike its AirPods brethren, the AirPods Max is a more traditional style over-ear headphone. If you're not a fan of earbuds, then the best hi-fi noise cancelling headphones of 2024 might be right up your alley.

More Cyber Monday Headphone Deals

Check out all the other best headphone deals for Cyber Monday from other brands right now including the incredibly affordable JLabs JBuds Lux for only $29 at Walmart.

Meta Quest 3S VR Headset with Batman: Arkham Shadow

Bonus $75 Amazon Credit

Amazon has the Meta Quest 3S VR Headset with Batman: Arkham Shadow for $299 today. You'll even get a bonus $75 Amazon credit with your purchase! This headset is perfect if you're just entering the VR space, and it's equipped with everything you need to experience all the latest games out there.

In our 9/10 review, we stated, "Raw processing power, full-color passthrough, and snappy Touch Plus controllers make the Quest 3S a fantastic standalone VR headset that also brings entry-level mixed-reality gaming to the masses for – arguably – the very first time."

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $30

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is only $30 today at Walmart. This Switch deal still hasn't sold out, and it's easily one of the best still available. The secrets of the Zonai tribe are revealed, and you'll discover new areas to explore in the skies above and depths below. If there's one game you should pick up this weekend, Tears of the Kingdom is it.

65" LG Evo C4 4K OLED TV for $1272.44

We finally have another good OLED TV deal ahead of Cyber Monday. Walmart has listed the 65" LG Evo C4 on sale for $1272.44 ahead of Cyber Monday. This TV is perfect for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, with all sorts of features for gaming. First, you have a refresh rate up to 144Hz, which is essential for playing games at 120fps on console. Additionally, there's built-in support for variable refresh rate (VRR). The TV itself uses LG's Evo panel, allowing for a brighter and crisper image than other OLED TVs.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $154

The best Black Friday AirPods deal is still available. This second generation of Apple AirPods packs in a few new features, with a major one being the switch from Lightning to USB-C. Additionally, you'll find a speaker on the case to help you locate it if needed. While the AirPods 4 have ANC features, the AirPods 2 are the best wireless earbuds you can buy from Apple. If you just recently picked up a new iPhone, this is the perfect accessory for you.

Metaphor: ReFantazio for $49.99

Metaphor: ReFantazio is the latest game from Persona 3, 4, and 5 Director Katsura Hashino and the team at Atlus' Studio Zero. For the first time since launch, you can score the game at a discount, saving $20 ahead of Cyber Monday. In our 9/10 review, we stated, "Refining the Atlus RPG formula of weaving tough turn-based combat into compelling social sim mechanics, Metaphor: ReFantazio doesn’t just send a powerful message across its political drama, it becomes a beautiful expression of the real impact storytelling can have on all of us."

Star Wars Outlaws for $39.99

Star Wars Outlaws released in late August, and it's already $30 off ahead of Cyber Monday. Protagonist Kay Vass stars in a journey across the galaxy where she must take down a crime boss and unite thieves and criminals alike. While there were some issues at launch, Ubisoft has remedied those for the most part with the recent 1.40 update. This is the lowest price we've seen yet for the game, and it's one of our favorite deals still live after Black Friday.

Final Fantasy XVI for $24.99

One of the biggest 2023 games has hit a new all-time low price! Final Fantasy XVI follows Clive Rosfield on his journey to avenge his brother. For the first time in the Final Fantasy series, you can become a summon, known as Eikons in this world. With spectacular boss battles and an engaging story, Final Fantasy XVI is an excellent time, especially for $24.99.

Stellar Blade for $49.99

Ahead of Cyber Monday, Stellar Blade is on sale for the first time since launch. This action game from Shift Up has been one of the most popular games of the year. Just a few weeks ago, new Nier: Automata DLC was released, which included new outfits inspired by A2, 2B, and Emil. In our 7/10 review, we stated "Stellar Blade stands out as a gorgeous and well-crafted action game with very impressive strengths and very clear weaknesses."

iPad (10th Generation) for $259.99

The iPad can be an incredibly useful device if you're needing something bigger than a phone, and this is our pick from this year's iPad discounts. Powered by the A14 Bionic, you can sketch, create presentations, and watch content all day long, with up to 10 hours of battery life supported. The 10th Generation iPad includes support for Touch ID, Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard Folio, and more.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for $39.99

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was one of 2024's biggest games, continuing the story from 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and Red XIII begin their journey outside Midgar, meeting characters like Yuffie, Vincent, and Cid alongside the way. This experience offers well over 100 hours of content, with 36 sidequests and a main story over 40 hours long. Plus, there are dozens of minigames to discover. This is by far one of the best games you can get for under $40.

Best Buy Easily Has the Best Gaming Laptop Deals for Cyber Monday 2024

Several retailers have released excellent gaming laptop deals for Cyber Monday, but it's pretty obvious there's one in particular that stands above the rest in terms of deal quality and selection. As part of its Cyber Monday Sale, Best Buy has discounted about 20 laptops of varying configurations, and they're all quite good. You can pick up a budget RTX 4050 model for as low as $699.99, or a super high-end RTX 4090 model for just under $3,000. Here's a list of all of the best deals I've found, and a breakdown of some my recommended picks.

For a quick look at all of the Cyber Monday laptops at Best Buy, scroll to your right.

HP Victus 16" RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop for $930

Right now you can get an HP Victus RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $929.99. That's the least expensive RTX 4070 laptop deal we've seen so far for Cyber Monday. The Victus is HP's lineup of budget-oriented gaming laptops. This model features a 15" 1080p display, a low-voltage AMD Ryzen 8 8845HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4070 has a maximum TGP rating of 105W (120W with dynamic boost), which is actually quite impressive for such an affordable gaming laptop.

MSI Katana 15" RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop

The MSI Katana features an upgraded AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and the same RTX 4070 GPU with a TGP rating of 105W. It also has a larger 1TB SSD. It does cost about $150 more than the Victus deal above, but the CPU upgrade and the increased storage might be worth it for many people.

Razer Blade 16" OLED RTX 4080 Gaming Laptop

I had to throw this in here because I have seen very few Razer laptop deals for Cyber Monday. This laptop is nearly maxed out in gaming prowess. It boasts a gorgeous 16" OLED display with a 2560x1600 (QHD+) resolution and up to 240Hz refresh rate. You'll need a beefy GPU to run games smoothly on such a sharp display, and fortunately the Razer Blade delivers with an RTX 4080 GPU. It's also equipped with an Intel Core i9-1400HX CPU (the most powerful Intel processor).

Acer Nitro V 15" RTX 4050 Gaming Laptop

The Acer Nitro V offers decent gaming performance at an awesome price. The RTX 4050 is a budget GPU, but it's still powerful enough to run most games at relaxed settings in 1080p. It's a lot better than any onboard graphics solution, like an Intel Arc or Iris Xe. It's well paired with a 1080p display, AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 14" OLED Gaming Laptop

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 offers a combination of a smaller 14" footprint that's easier to carry around, a gorgeous OLED display with a sharp 3K resolution, and powerful components in the guise of an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and your choice of an RTX 4060 or 4070 laptop. Which you choose depends on the games you play, but the RTX 4060 model is objectively a better deal for Cyber Monday, since it costs $450 less (and I don't think the performance difference is worth that much).

Lenovo LOQ 15" RTX 3050 Gaming Laptop

This Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop is the least expensive laptop equipped with a discrete GPU that I've seen for Cyber Monday. The RTX 3050 is not the fastest GPU on the block, but it's still better than any onboard graphics solution. It's certainly powerful enough to run games that aren't super demanding, like League of Legends, Fortnite, or the thousands of indie games available on Steam. If you want to play Black Myth Wukong with high settings however, you'll need to look for something more powerful.

Lenovo Legion 7i 16" RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop

This Lenovo Legion Pro 7 gaming laptop offers a lot of upgrades for a very reasonable price. Unlike most laptops at this price point, it's equipped with an Intel Core i9-14900X (Intel's best 14th gen CPU), RTX 4070 GPU with the maximum TGP rating, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD (both double what you would normally see). The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs on par with the RTX 3080 and should provide ample horsepower to power games on the QHD+ display.

There Are Great Laptop Deals Outside of Best Buy

Even though Best Buy might have had the best selection for Black Friday, tons of other retailers are playing catch up for Cyber Monday. If you're looking for a brand that manufactures its own laptops, then check out the Alienware Cyber Monday Sale, the HP Cyber Monday Sale, and the Lenovo Cyber Monday Sale. These retailers take a bit longer to ship out (its systems are generally made-to-order), but they can also be customized to your exact specifications.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never-before-seen deals.

Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.

Persona 3 Reload Is at Best-Ever Price Through Cyber Monday

The excellent Black Friday gaming deals show no signs of slowing down for Cyber Monday. You can still get Tears of the Kingdom and Sonic X Shadow for $30 each, Elden Ring for $20, and loads of other PS5 and Switch games for less than $30.

Yet another one of these unmissable deals on a game released this year is for Persona 3 Reload for PS5, currently selling for just $25 – that's a $35 price drop from its launch price. (More Atlus games from this year – the very, very good Metaphor: ReFantazio and Unicorn Overlord – got a respective $20 and $30 knocked off their prices for Black Friday/Cyber Monday.) Note again that this price is primarily for PS5 versions only; if you're still a PlayStation holdout, Amazon does have PS4 editions for the same $25 and Walmart is selling PS4 copies for $33.

This rebooted remake of Atlus's Persona 3, probably the thematically darkest of the Persona games, came out in February and this is by far the lowest price it's sold for since release. When I previewed the game back in January, I was creeped out by the new Tartarus (complimentary) and extremely into the upgrades made from the original Persona 3, another game I love dearly. Of course, it was even better to experience it as a whole in a full playthrough. Atlus stays not missing!

Don't Miss Out on Cyber Monday Streaming Deals: 70% Off Hulu, Max, Peacock, and Disney+ Bundles

With endless price increases and a crackdown on password sharing, I think we’re all starting to question what streaming services are worth it. If you're trying to save on subscriptions, Cyber Monday is easily the best time to sign up for new services (or ones you previously cancelled) at the lowest prices you’ll get all year. I cut back on most of my streaming subscriptions after price hikes over the summer in hopes I could get better deals, and thankfully, I was right.

With limited time sales now live at Hulu, Max, Peacock, and more, here’s the main rundown of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday streaming deals available now.

TL;DR: These Are the Best Streaming Deals Right Now

If you know what you're looking for, these quick links will you bring you to each major Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. If you're still shopping around, I break down each specific deal below.

Hulu and Disney+ Deals

Hulu's Black Friday deals have definitely been this year's most popular streaming discounts: New subscribers can grab a full year of Hulu (with ads) for $0.99/month (down from $9.99/month), or a full year of the Hulu and Disney+ bundle (with ads) for $2.99/month (down from $10.99/month).

Hulu recently added Alien: Romulus to a library that includes the catalog of Adult Swim as well as top-tier sitcoms like Always Sunny and New Girl. Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine just dropped on Disney+, which continues to host all things Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic.

If you sign up for Hulu or are already a subscriber, you can also grab the Starz add-on (think Outlander, John Wick, and the Hunger Games movies) for the same price: one year for $0.99/month.

Max Deals

Max has rolled out its one and only Cyber Monday sale: six months of Max (with ads) for $2.99/month. An ad-supported Max subscription usually costs $9.99/month, so you save $7 per month for a total of $42 in savings across the six month deal.

Max is home to HBO and Max originals, with recent releases including The Penguin, The Last of Us, and House of the Dragon. Max also has the full catalog of Studio Ghibli and Harry Potter movies, as well as recent blockbusters like Dune: Part Two and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Yeah, this one's hard to pass up.

Peacock Deals

From now until December 2, you can sign up for 12 months of Peacock (with ads) for $19.99 for a whopping savings of $50. Existing subscribers to the free Peacock plan can also use the promo code “REALDEAL” to upgrade, but unfortunately the deal isn’t available to existing paid subscribers. If a year is a bit too long for you, you can also try out six months at a rate of $1.99/month.

This is easily the best streaming deal I've found for live sports: Peacock has the NFL, Premier League, Big Ten Football, and WWE. The NBC-owned platform also hosts new releases like Twisters and of course sitcoms like The Office, Parks and Rec, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. With the entire Bravo catalog, it's also my go-to streaming service for reality TV.

Paramount+ Deals

Paramount+ offers two different streaming plans, and right now you can sign up for either one at a price of $2.99 for the first two months. The Paramount+ Essential plan is ad-supported and typically costs $7.99/month, while the Paramount+ with Showtime bundle is ad-free and typically costs $12.99/month. The Paramount+ and Showtime bundle is one of the only ad-free streaming deals I've seen so far.

Both plans include access to the full catalog of Paramount movies, from classics like Gladiator to new releases like Transformers One and Top Gun: Maverick. Paramount has also rolled out original shows like Evil, which ended this year, and the upcoming Dexter sequel series. Both streaming plans include live NFL coverage and the UEFA Champions League, and the Showtime bundle includes 24/7 access to your local CBS station.

Prime Video Deals

While Amazon hasn’t discounted its Prime Video subscription, the retail giant has slashed prices on pretty much everything available to rent or buy on demand. If you’ve been waiting to buy a niche movie that isn't streaming anywhere, now’s your chance. If you're already subscribed to Prime Video, you can also check out discounts on Channel Add-Ons, including Crunchyroll for as low as $2/month.

Will Netflix Have a Cyber Monday Sale?

If there’s one streaming service that's known for price hikes and no discounts, it’s Netflix. If you’ve been holding out for a deal from the streaming giant, I hate to be the one to break this news to you: Netflix has never offered a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale on subscriptions, and I doubt 2024 is the year that changes. Those prices are sticking around.

Cyber Monday Deals on Streaming Bundles

If you're looking to combine services, the Paramount+ with Showtime deal (no ads) and the Hulu and Disney+ deal (with ads) are the major streaming bundles on sale. If you already have Prime Video (included with a Prime Subscription), you can get Add-Ons, which include full libraries from services like Starz and Crunchyroll at a discount.

Will Streaming Deals Get Better on Monday?

Most of these offers are live until December 2, so they cover both the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales events. We might see more streaming deals announced from other services tomorrow, but I doubt any of the deals from these guys will get better. If you're in the market to upgrade your display, one thing to keep an eye on this weekend is Amazon's Cyber Monday sale for any streaming TV deals.

The Best Nintendo Switch Controller Deals for Cyber Monday 2024

The coveted Nintendo Switch bundles for Black Friday are long gone (though they might make a miraculous comeback when Cyber Monday hits), but there are some leftover deals from Black Friday on Switch peripheralsas we gear up for Cyber Monday. Now might be the time to grab some accessories and games for your brand-new or well-loved Switch. Stay tuned for more Cyber Monday deals, and happy gaming!

Nintendo Switch Pro Wireless Controller Deals

The Switch Pro controller is fantastic From the 50-hour battery life (eat your heart out, DualSense – though those are also discounted right now if you're a PS5 owner) to the comfort factor, and even PC support, it's got basically everything you could ask for in a companion for your gaming adventures. Right now Walmart has the best deal out there, selling them (online only) for just $39.99. Best Buy has them discounted by $20, so you can grab a brand new controller for $49.99. More retailers had deals on the Pro Wireless Controller during Black Friday, so there's a good chance it might go back in stock at Target or Amazon come Cyber Monday proper.

Amazon Nintendo Switch Controller Deals

From the exclusive Amazon PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller with Mario iconography all over it to the Voyee LED Star Controller, there are some cool, artful controllers available for Switch. If you prefer to keep things simple, there are also PowerA Pro Controllers going for $35. If you need an extra Joy-Con grip, plain black ones are just $9.88 right now, and the Diswoe, $5 cheaper than usual, feels kinda like a DualShock 4 for Switch, if that's your thing.

Best Buy Nintendo Switch Controller Deals

Whether you are in the market for extra Joy-Con, some third-party controllers, throwbacks to the GameCube generation, or steering wheels for Mario Kart (and other racers), Best Buy has Nintendo Switch controllers on sale to meet your needs.

Cyber Monday Deals on Video Games for Switch

For more deals on Nintendo Switch gear (and other stuff that might be of interest), go check out the best Nintendo deals still available at Target. We also put together a list of 22 Switch games you can get for $30 or less.

If you want to get some more great controller deals, there is a fantastic Cyber Monday sale at Lenovo for Xbox controllers, and DualSense controllers are also $20 off right now.

When Does Black Friday End and Cyber Monday Begin?

The transition from Black Friday deals into Cyber Monday ones can be a bit nebulous depending on the category and retailer. As IGN's Commerce Manager, Eric Song says in his Black Friday deals post: "I've worked through numerous Black Fridays over the years, and my experience has always been the same: about half of the deals end on Black Friday at midnight, and the other half will stay live through the weekend and end on Cyber Monday."

The Best Buy Cyber Monday Sale Is Live: The Best Deals on PlayStation 5, Gaming PCs, Laptops, and TVs

Move over Black Friday, the Best Buy Cyber Monday Sale is now live! So far I've seen a mix of deals that include several that have been carried over from Black Friday as well as others that are exclusive to Cyber Monday. Some of these new deals are so good that they've already sold out, like the LEGO Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas set. Don't worry though, I fully expect Best Buy to release even more deals today and tomorrow.

Other well-known retailers have more generalized sales, but Best Buy predominantly focus on tech and gaming. The best deals right now include the PlayStation 5, video games including Metaphor: Refantazio, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and Warhammer 40,000K: Space Marine 2, and gaming laptops and gaming PCs. In fact, the sheer number and quality of the gaming laptp deals far outclasses the ones we found on Amazon, Walmart, or Target so far.

Right now you can get an HP Victus RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $929.99. That's the least expensive RTX 4070 laptop deal we've seen so far for Cyber Monday. The Victus is HP's lineup of budget-oriented gaming laptops. This model features a 15" 1080p display, a low-voltage AMD Ryzen 8 8845HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4070 has a maximum TGP rating of 120W, which is actually quite impressive for such an affordable gaming laptop. That means it will perform pretty well relative to other RTX 4070 gaming laptops.

More Cyber Monday Gaming Laptop Deals

Sony released their entire set of Black Friday PlayStation deals last week and most major retailers have followed suit. The best deal is definitely on the consoles themselves: the PS5 Slim Disc Edition has dropped to $424.99 (originally $500) and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition has dropped to $374.99 (originally $450). I would choose the Disc Edition because it's only $50 more and then I have the option to buy (and later sell or trade) physical disc media. But if you want to save some money and go the Digital Edition route, I would suggest getting the NBA 2K25 bundle, which also includes a game. Although the Fortnite Cobalt Star bundle has a fancy looking box, no actual game is included.

More Playstation Cyber Monday Deals

Metaphor: ReFantazio was released on October 11, so it's nice to see a nice 29% off discount so soon after launch. This is an outstanding RPG that gets pretty much everything right: intensely enjoyable combat, a gripping epic storyline, and hyper-stylized graphics. I've beaten the game, and I think it's just as good as Persona 5 (which I also loved). In his 9/10 IGN review, Michael Higham wrote that "Refining the Atlus RPG formula of weaving tough turn-based combat into compelling social sim mechanics, Metaphor: ReFantazio doesn’t just send a powerful message across its political drama, it becomes a beautiful expression of the real impact storytelling can have on all of us."

More Cyber Monday Video Game Deals for PS5/Xbox

HP's new sensibly designed Omen 35L gaming PC is least expensive at Best Buy. This attractive gaming desktop features an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 4060 Ti video card is a very good option for 1080p gaming at high frame rates. It's also the minimum NVIDIA GPU we'd recommend for 1440p gaming.

More Cyber Monday Gaming PC Deals

Best Buy has already several excellent gaming PC deals as part of its Best Buy Black Friday Sale. If you're on a budget, the iBuyPower Scale RTX 4060 gaming PC for $699.99 is a solid deal and a great candidate for 1080p gaming. For something more powerful, consider the MSI Aegis Z2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU and RTX 4070 Super GPU.

For more deals on gaming PCs and laptops, check out the Alienware Cyber Monday Sale, the HP Cyber Monday Sale, and the Lenovo Cyber Monday Sale. These computers are made-to-order and usually take longer to ship out (although there are quick-ship models available), but the consistency in build quality makes them worth it.

Here's your chance to get one of the best OLED TVs on the market at a great price. Right now, Best Buy is offering the current 2024 model 65" Samsung S90D 4K OLED Smart TV for only $1,399.99 after a massive 48% off price drop. This is an excellent TV to pair up with your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. In fact, this TV could even be a better gaming TV than the LG C4. Although we haven't personally tested it, RTINGS says that the S90D is brighter, has a wider color gamut, better color volume, wider viewing angle, and better HDR gradient handling. Of course, it's also $100 cheaper than the C4.

Best Buy is the only retailer to drop the price on the new Asus ROG Ally X so far for Cyber Monday. Right now you can get it for $699.99 after a $100 instant discount. In our Asus ROG Ally X review, gaming guru Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "the Asus ROG Ally X is simply the best handheld gaming PC on the market right now. With more and faster memory and double the battery as the original Ally, the Ally X will run any modern game without dying in an hour and a half."

The Asus ROG Ally X improves on the original ROG Ally in several ways, the biggest upgrades being a much bigger 80Whr battery with nearly the runtime, more RAM, a beefier cooling system, double the storage capacity on the base model, and better controls. It's not inexpensive starting at $799.99 $699.99, but it's definitely an incredible piece of hardware.

More Cyber Monday Gaming Deals

Compared to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the Nintendo Switch console has the best discount for Black Friday. The holiday bundles, which were released back in October, included your choice of the Switch or Switch OLED, a digital download voucher for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12-month Switch Online membership. I thought that this was going to be the official Black Friday deal. Alas, Best Buy (but not Amazon, due to their supposedly shaky relationship) has just knocked another $75 off the price tag. That means you can pick up a Switch bundle for as low as $225.

More Cyber Monday Switch Deals

IGN absolutely loves this video game. In our 9/10 Sonic X Shadow Generations review, Jada Griffin wrote that "Sonic X Shadow Generations takes an already excellent game and spring jumps it to new heights with a creative Shadow campaign and an appreciable graphical upgrade." This game is actually a collection of two games in one: a remaster of the 2011 Sonic Generations and - the highlight - a brand new, original campaign starring Shadow the Hedgehog.

Best Buy isn't the only retailer with games already on sale. For more deals on video games sorted by individual platform, check out our best Cyber Monday deal guides for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X.

Best Buy has dropped the price on the officially licensed WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series consoles to $99.99. That's a 33% price drop from its original $150 MSRP and the best price we've ever seen for an officially licensed 1TB Xbox expansion card. The C50 is one of the best SSDs for the Xbox, which isn't surprising since your options are pretty limited.

More Cyber Monday Xbox Deals

Best Buy has dropped the price of the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-canceling earbuds to $169.99. Unfortunately that's $10 higher than the best deal I saw during Black Friday. Still, this discount brings the price down to the same level as the Apple AirPods 4 with noise cancellation. Between the two, the AirPods Pro is still Apple's best earbuds because it offers better sound quality and better noise cancellation performance.

The Arc is Sonos' flagship product. We rated it the best soundbar of 2024. This is a premium soundbar and it shows. This 45" soundbar houses 11 precisely engineered internal speakers, including two dedicated height channels. It's Dolby Atmos ready, and there's enough power here that you can probably get away without a subwoofer. However, the Sonos Arc can be wirelessly paired up with other Sonos speakers and subs to add even more sound distribution. The Arc also has a built-in microphone for voice control so it is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.

The Best Ad-Free Cyber Monday Streaming Deal: Paramount+ with Showtime Bundle for Just $2.99

Paramount+ has been quietly making its way into the ranks of the best streaming services. I admit, even I underestimated this one at first. Over time, however, the Paramount+ library has grown into one I consider well worth its price, and I signed up before this Cyber Monday deal. Right now, you can try any Paramount+ streaming plan for just $2.99/month for two months. Out of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday streaming deals we've seen this year, Paramount+ is also one of the only services to offer discounts on its ad-free plan.

If you choose to subscribe, you can watch the first Gladiator movie before catching Ridley Scott's new sequel in theaters (Gladiator II will end up on Paramount+, too). And it's not just about the classics: Paramount+ is home to all-new Paramount releases, including Transformers One and Top Gun: Maverick. It's also one of the better services for live sports streaming.

First 2 Months of Paramount+ Essential OR Paramount+ with Showtime for $2.99/Month

Paramount is offering both of its major streaming plans, Paramount+ Essential and Paramount+ with Showtime, at the same Cyber Monday price: Two months for $2.99 each (about $6 total). Both plans offer the same Paramount+ library of over 40,000 TV episodes and movies, and both come with NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League Live.

A big difference between these plans is Paramount+ Essential has ads and Paramount+ with Showtime doesn't (except for live TV). Beyond ads, the Paramount+ with Showtime plan is technically a streaming bundle that's pretty clear about what it includes: The Paramount+ streaming library (with all the mentioned benefits) PLUS access to Showtime, which offers the likes of a full Dexter rewatch or new seasons of Yellowjackets. The Showtime plan also includes full access to your local CBS station (the Essential plan limits you to just the sports streams).

Perhaps one of the more important issues of the modern streaming era: Both plans let you stream on up to three devices at the same time.

Which Paramount Streaming Plan Is a Better Deal?

Paramount+ Essential, as the ad-supported streaming plan, typically costs $7.99/month (so around $16 for two months), while Paramount+ with Showtime typically costs $12.99/month (around $26 for two months). With these deals, you're save a whopping $20 with the ad-free plan, compared to $10 in savings with Paramount+ Essential.

There are a couple of reasons to consider the Essential plan even with less savings: If you're anything like me, you might be worried about forgetting to cancel the more expensive subscription before it goes back to regular price. Or, you might just be interested in catching the next couple of months of the NFL season without worrying about all the extras.

Walmart+ Black Friday Deal Includes Paramount+ Membership

Paramount's streaming deal isn't your only way to save on a new subscription this sales season. A 12-month Paramount+ subscription is also included in a Walmart+ membership, which happens to be discounted 50% off as part of Walmart’s early Cyber Monday sale.

More Cyber Monday Streaming Deals

The most popular streaming deal this weekend has definitely been Hulu's: One year (with ads) at less than $1 per month. Most streaming services are offering at least 70% off in discounts, so this year's Cyber Monday sales have something for everyone (unless you wanted Netflix deals: Those never happen).

Is Cyber Monday the Best Time to Sign Up for Streaming Services?

We might see more streaming deals announced throughout the holidays, but this Cyber Monday discount is definitely the best deal you'll get in 2024 for Paramount+. The two-month deal is a great chance to try out a new streaming service and see if the library keeps you around. Otherwise, if you're still shopping around, one of the best streaming deals in general continues to be the new Disney+/Hulu/Max bundle. There are also some fantastic deals available on Kindle Unlimited, Audible, and all things Apple.

The Alienware Cyber Monday Sale at Dell Is Now Live: The Best Deals on Gaming Laptops & PCs

If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC for Cyber Monday, Alienware (which is owned by Dell) is one of best gaming brands we'd recommend. The Alienware Cyber Monday Sale has some great deals on gaming desktops, gaming laptops, and gaming monitors. Dell likes to release new deals in waves, so I expect more deals to show up today and tomorrow. Consistent build quality, available inventory, frequent promotions, and solid customer service are the main reasons why Alienware is at the top of our buying list for gaming laptops and PCs.

The 2024 Alienware "R16" desktop chassis is a major improvement.

The R16 is Alienware's current 2024 desktop PC design and one of our picks for best gaming PC. It's 40% smaller in volume compared to previous iterations. It features a simple yet proven airflow pattern; air is drawn in through the side intake vents over the GPU area and a 120mm fan at the front of the case, and exhausts by way of a 120mm rear fan and two 120mm top fans. A 240mm radiator for the all-in-one liquid cooling system is mounted to these top fans. Some configurations don't actually include the liquid cooling system, but we rarely include them in this roundup. That's because Alienware's liquid cooling solution is far superior to their stock air cooling and is easily worth the price premium.

Alienware Aurora R16 i9 RTX 4090 Gaming PC

The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Super gaming PC drops to $2,999.99 after a massive $1,000 instant discount. It features an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, RTX 4090 GPU, 64GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. In his RTX 4090 review, Chris Coke writes, "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out." The 4090 is also great for AI thanks to its 24GB of VRAM.

Alienware Aurora R16 i7 RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC

The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC features a Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The RTX 4060 Ti video card is a very good option for 1080p gaming at high frame rates. It's also the minimum NVIDIA GPU we'd recommend for 1440p gaming.

Alienware Aurora R16 i7 RTX 4070 Super Gaming PC

Dell has dropped the price on this Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4070 Super gaming PC to $1,499.99. This is the best value for gamers who want a PC that can run any game they want and are on a reasonable budget. The RTX 4070 Super is one of the best graphics cards for most people; it's affordably priced and yet it's powerful enough to run games at up to 4K (although 1440p is its sweet spot). In her RTX 4070 Super review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the mid-range card we should have got back when the RTX 4000 generation launched. It's around 16% faster in most games at the same price. If you've been waiting to make your GPU upgrade, now's the time."

Alienware m16 R2 16" RTX 4060/4070 Gaming Laptops

Dell is offering an Alienware m16 R2 16" RTX 4060 gaming laptop for $1,199.99 after a $300 instant discount. You'll need a decent amount of GPU power to be able to run games smoothly on the display's bumped-up QHD+ resolution. The RTX 4060 sits between the RTX 3070 and the RTX 3070 Ti, so it's definitely no slouch in terms of gaming performance. Alternatively, you can upgrade to an RTX 4070 for $200 more. The RTX 4070 mobile is on par with the RTX 3080 but with newer features like DLSS 3.0.

Alienware m18 R2 18" i9 RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop

The Alienware m18 is the biggest Alienware laptop you can buy with an imposing 18" 2560x1600 display and top-of-the-line components. There are two models that are on sale today. The higher end model includes an Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and RTX 4090 GPU for $2899.99. The RTX 4090 is still the most powerful mobile GPU on the market, and by a very substantial margin. It's roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU. If that's beyond your budget, there's also a model equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700HX CPU and RTX 4070 GPU for $1899.99.

Alienware x16 R2 16" Intel Core Ultra 7 RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop

The Alienware x16 gaming laptop is a slimmer and lighter redesign of the traditional m-series laptop. It's the thinnest 16" Alienware laptop ever and compares in build quality and performance to other high-end ultra-thin laptops like the Razer Blade. This Alienware x16 R2 laptop is built with premium materials, like a magnesium alloy chassis and palm rest, anodized aluminum lid, stainless steel keyboard tray, and Micro LED RGB accent lighting. It's only 0.73" thin and weighs in at 6 pounds. That's impressive considering the fact that this laptop can be equipped with the most power NVIDIA GPU.

Not all laptop GPUs are the same, even if they share the same name.

There are two important tidbits that deserve mention concerning graphics cards found in laptops. First, mobile GPU variants are not as powerful as their desktop counterparts. For example, a mobile RTX 4060 doesn't perform as well as a desktop RTX 4060. The mobile versions are generally about one to two tiers lower in performance. Using the same example, the mobile RTX 4060 performs more similarly to a desktop RTX 4050.

Second, not all laptops feature the same performance out of the same GPU. For example, the RTX 4060 found in the Alienware m16 will be more powerful than the RTX 4060 found in the Alienware x14. In order to roughly tell how good a GPU will be, you can look at the TGP rating. That's basically the amount of power supplied to the GPU. A higher TGP rating means more power will be delivered, equating to stronger performance, however the wattage consumption and heat generated will be higher. Here are the maximum TGP rates for the RTX 40 series graphics cards:

  • Mobile RTX 4050: 115W
  • Mobile RTX 4060: 115W
  • Mobile RTX 4070: 115W
  • Mobile RTX 4080: 150W
  • Mobile RTX 4090: 150W

32" Alienware AW3225QF 4K OLED Gaming Monitor

Alienware just sweetened the deal on its best gaming monitor for Cyber Monday. Right now, the 32" Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K QD OLED gaming monitor is down to $899.99. That's the lowest price I've seen all year long. However for Cyber Monday only, Alienware just tossed in a bonus $100 Dell promotional e-gift card with your purchase. The Alienware AW3225QF was released earlier this year and is actually Dell's one and only monitor that combines a 4K resolution with an OLED panel. If you're looking for the best 4K gaming monitor, this should definitely be on your short list. This is the monitor I personally use.

27" Dell G2724D Gaming Monitor

The Dell G2724D gaming monitor offers all the gaming features you'd want in a 27" gaming monitor at an incredibly affordable price. This monitor features a 2560x1440 resolution (109 ppi), which is a nice upgrade from the 1080p resolution you normally see at this price point. This is a great gaming monitor thanks to the fast 1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort (144Hz over HDMI). The IPS panel produces great color accuracy and wide viewing angles so it also makes for a great general purpose monitor.

Cyber Monday Playstation Consoles

Sony's Cyber Monday PlayStation deals all went live on Friday, November 21. Dell is one of Sony's major authorized resellers and the massive price drops I've seen on PS5 Slim console bundles, DualSense controllers, PS VR2 headset, and video games are all available on their site.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.

The Best Gummy Bear Deal of the Year Is Here for Cyber Monday

The Cyber Monday deals are ramping up as the online shopping holiday approaches. That means deals are in the air and you can save on items like PS5, AirPods Pro, iPads and Meta Quest 3S. You should pick up anything on your list, because these prices won't likely be matched until next Black Friday. However, I have a deal that does those one better, because you can eat it. Albanese Gummi Bears are legitimately the best in the world, and they're 40% off at Amazon. They normally cost $20, but you can get a 5lb bag of Albanese Gummi Bears for just $11.89 right now. That's a deal, my friends.

5 Pounds of Albanese Gummi Bears for $12

I called these Gummi Bears the best in the world above, and it might just seem like I'm repeating the boast from the front of the packaging. That's what Albanese calls them. But they really are the best, so I'm just calling it like I see it (or taste it). Just try them yourself and you'll see what I mean.

Albanese Gummi Bears are soft, but not too soft. They're sweet, but not too sweet. They come in 12 flavors that balance each other nicely. They pass the Goldilocks test that all other gummy bears fail. They're like Mary Poppins: They're practically perfect in every way.

Don't believe me? Try them for yourself.

More Cyber Monday Deals

You know what else is great about these gummy bears? They don't leave a gross sticky residue on your fingers, so you can munch on them while playing a game. Speaking of games, a whole bunch of PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox games are on sale for Cyber Monday. Pick one to play while you consume your five pounds of Gummi Bears, and you'll be living the sweet life.

I've Been Tracking PS5 Cyber Monday Deals Since Launch Day — Here's What I'd Buy Before The Sales End

I’ve been tracking PS5 deals for a long time, ever since launch day in fact, and this Cyber Monday has some of the best ones yet. If I were buying, I’d go for a PS5 bundle starting at $374 (now back in stock)—it’s the lowest price I’ve seen on the console, plus you can pair it with Dragon Age: The Veilguard for just another $25.

The PlayStation VR2 bundle at $349 is seriously tempting too, especially if you’re tempted by VR gaming. I’d also grab a DualSense controller for $20 off. It’s always good to have a spare. And if your PS5 storage is running low, the SSD deals right now make upgrading a no-brainer.

For games, titles like Star Wars Outlaws, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 are all heavily discounted. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade or snag some new games, this is it. These deals won’t last long, so don’t wait too long to decide.

TL;DR: The Best PS5 Cyber Monday Deals I've Found So Far

Best Cyber Monday PS5 Game Deals

Cyber Monday is here, and PlayStation 5 game deals are unbeatable at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. Top games like Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, Sonic X Shadow Generations and Star Wars Outlaws are at their lowest prices ever, making now the perfect time to add to the library.

But don’t wait—these discounts will vanish in after Cyber Monday (December 2), and prices will return to normal. Whether you’re growing your lbacklog or hunting for a budget-friendly gift, this is your chance to save big. If you're interested, we’ve also rounded up the 10 best PS5 games under $30, so you can grab the best deals before they’re gone.

DualSense Controllers Cyber Monday Deals

Cyber Monday is bringing major discounts on PlayStation accessories. DualSense controllers are now just $54, down from $74.99, with special edition designs available for $59. These are some of the best prices we’ve seen, making it the perfect time to grab a spare or upgrade your setup before your favorite colorway sells out.

Other must-see deals include the Pulse Wireless Earbuds, now $169.99, and the Logitech G29 Racing Wheel, discounted to $199.99. Whether you’re looking to enhance your gaming experience or pick up a gift, these deals are worth jumping on before they’re gone.

More PS5 Accessory Deals

Best PS5 Console Cyber Monday Deals

Get Dragon Age: The Veilguard for $25 When Buying at Best Buy

Right now, you can save $75 on select PlayStation 5 consoles, making it a great time to upgrade your gaming setup. Plus, snag select EA video games (including new release Dragon Age: The Veilguard) for just $25—perfect for starting your new library without breaking the bank.

Other options alongside Dragon Age include College Football 25, Madden NFL 25, NHL 25, and FC 25. That's an extra $45 in savings when you take up the bundle at Best Buy.

Save $75 on PS5 Bundles

If you're shopping at Amazon, PS5 Disc Edition is down to $424.99 from $500, while the Digital Edition is $374.99, originally $450. Personally, I’d go for the Disc Edition—it’s just $50 more, and you get the flexibility of physical games, which you can buy, sell, or trade later.

If you prefer the Digital Edition, the NBA 2K25 bundle is a smart pick if you can find it in stock, as it includes a game. On the other hand, the Fortnite Cobalt Star bundle, while eye-catching, doesn’t include a game—just something to keep in mind. These deals will end after Cyber Monday on December 2, so act fast to avoid disapointment.

Will the PS5 Pro Be Discounted for Cyber Monday?

Short answer, no. Long answer: While major hardware discounts are rarely a sure thing on brand-new releases, Cyber Monday might bring some unexpected deals. In the announcement for Sony's lineup of holiday deals, the PS5 Pro was (unsurprisingly) nowhere to be found. However, some retailers could surprise shoppers with modest discounts or exclusive PS5 Pro bundles.

The PS5 Slim, for example, was released last year at a similar time and ended up getting a free game bundle (Spider-Man 2 or Modern Warfare 3) at the end of November. We’ll be keeping an eye out to see if any retailers step up with a Cyber Monday special.

PlayStation VR 2 is $349 for Black Friday

One of the best Cyber Monday deals is the PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle, now just $349—a massive $251 discount. It’s the same price as the standalone PSVR2 during this sale, but the bundle is the clear winner, including an incredible game to showcase the headset's power.

At this price, the PSVR2 is a strong competitor to budget-friendly options like the Meta Quest, offering a premium VR experience at an accessible price. If you’ve been waiting to step into high-performance virtual reality, this deal is too good to pass up.

Cyber Monday Deals on PS5 SSDs

PS5 games continue to grow in size, and with SSD prices climbing in 2024, finding the right storage at a great price is more important than ever. With Black Friday now here, there are plenty of discounts to explore. For example, the WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD with a heatsink is currently available for $133.99, offering excellent value.

Keep in mind that not all SSDs are compatible with the PS5. To ensure optimal performance, you'll need a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 drive with a minimum read speed of 5,500MB/s to match the console's internal storage. To simplify your search, we've curated a list of SSDs that meet or exceed these requirements.

PS Plus Cyber Monday Deal (Save 30%)

Cyber Monday brings big savings on PlayStation Plus memberships. New members can get 30% off a 12-month subscription, while current Essential members can save 25% on upgrading to Extra or 30% on Premium/Deluxe tiers.

November’s Game Catalog lineup adds even more value, with the return of GTA 5 alongside Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Like a Dragon: Ishin, available since November 19. Premium/Deluxe members also gain access to the Sony Pictures Catalog, offering up to 100 movies to stream on demand. Plus, all PS4 and PS5 players can enjoy extra discounts on recent movie releases during the promotion.

Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?

As Black Friday deals continue throughout the weekend, keep an eye on video game Black Friday deals from Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox. Waiting for Cyber Monday can be risky – the hottest gaming deals tend to sell out fast. This is why Black Friday tends to be the better time to buy video games. Frankly, if you see a game deal you like, we'd recommend hopping on it now. But if you missed out on the PS5 2K25 bundle (or any of the insanely popular Switch bundles), there might still be hope come Cyber Monday.

Score Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 on Switch for Just $19 in Cyber Monday Sales

Amazon's kicked off its Cyber Monday sale a little early this year and is still offering some great deals that are worth jumping on ahead of the holidays. In terms of video game deals, quite a few have caught our eye that have been brought over into the retailer's Cyber Monday sale, including an excellent discount on the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 for Switch.

Switch owners can enjoy a nice 63% discount on this collection, which has brought its price down to just $18.74. According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, it's the lowest price its hit so far which is a massive bonus. A lot of deals like this won't stick around long after Cyber Monday, so if you've been wanting to add this stealthy series to your game library, now's the time.

There's plenty in this collection to keep you busy all throughout the holidays, too. It comes with Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear (NES/FC version), and Snake’s Revenge. With Metal Gear Solid Delta hopefully dropping sometime soon, there's never been a better time to sneak back into this series of games.

Amazon's got even more gaming deals in its Cyber Monday sale that are worth adding to your virtual shopping cart. Some big ones that got our attention were Star Wars Outlaws, which remains on sale at $40 from Black Friday, and Sonic X Shadow Generations, which is down to just $30. These just scratch the surface of what the retailer currently has available, though. To see more of our favorite deals outside of games, have a look at our breakdown of Amazon's Cyber Monday sale.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

Many of the same deals from Black Friday are likely to return for Cyber Monday 2024, including some that sold out or expired. Retailers often stagger their inventory, reserving stock for each major sale event. This means Cyber Monday will bring back popular deals alongside brand-new, never-before-seen offers.

Traditionally, Black Friday was the in-store shopping frenzy, while Cyber Monday focused on online deals. While those lines have blurred, Cyber Monday remains the top event for online-focused retailers like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Even traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart roll out exclusive online-only offers. Amazon, in particular, has already shifted gears to highlight its Cyber Monday deals early, so expect some amazing sales ahead.

Hulu's Black Friday Streaming Deal Is Still Live: $0.99 a Month for a Whole Year

Hulu stands out as one of the top streaming platforms today, yet it’s often underrated. With critically acclaimed movies like the Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall and Talk to Me, and standout Emmy-winning TV series such as Shogun, Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building, there’s always something exceptional to watch.

This Black Friday, Hulu is available for just $0.99/month for an entire year – down from $9.99/month. That's 90% off, and easily the best deal you'll get on a streaming subscription right now. Similarly, the Disney+ bundle is offered at $2.99/month for a year, down from $10.99/month, making these some of the best Black Friday streaming deals available. Don't miss out – this deal only runs through Cyber Monday.

What Can You Watch on Hulu?

Hulu has a bonkers amount of shows and movies in its library. Let's start at the top and mention the verticals on offer with the base subscription because if we also talk about what is available via Disney+, ESPN+, or live TV, we'll be here forever. (You can also sync up Hulu with HBO to gain access to things like Succession and the new season of House of the Dragon.)

Here's what you get:

  • Network and Hulu Original television shows (AMC, Adult Swim, ABC, A&E, FX, etc.)
  • Movies (HBO, Hulu Originals, anime films, etc.)
  • Sports (NHL, Soccer, MLB, Auto Racing, NFL, College Football, PGA, Tennis, etc.)
  • News (ABC News Live, Good Morning America, World News Tonight, 20/20, The View, etc.)

Hulu TV

Hulu has some amazing shows in its roster. For comedy, Community and New Girl are awesome for self-contained highjinks, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has a whopping 16 seasons available. What We Do in the Shadows, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Broad City, Abbott Elementary, and Drunk History; there is a ton of great stuff to get into, regardless of what your comedic sensibilities are.

It's also home to some big originals, like The Bear, The Handmaid's Tale, and Only Murders in the Building.

As far as animated fare, there are modern adult classics like Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers, as well as Futurama (which Hulu rebooted), Family Guy, and King of the Hill (which will also be rebooted on Hulu).

Anime staples like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun are available, and Hulu is one of the more reliable simulcast hubs outside of Crunchyroll for many new anime series all year long. If you want more youth-friendly fun, Hulu also has Cartoon Network favorites, like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time, and other revamped '90s classics, like Animaniacs and Curious George.

The Future of Hulu

Hulu isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, beyond it being awarded the best streaming service of 2023 by us and receiving a 9/10 in our updated Hulu review, it was fully brought into the Disney ecosystem last November and the House of Mouse has created a one-app experience for those bundling Hulu and Disney+. With an FX partnership, Hulu is also home to those shows, including the Emmy-sweeping Shogun.

What Other Streaming Services Have Black Friday Deals?

Hulu was one of the first official Black Friday streaming deals announced, alongside Paramount+. More services have rolled out their best offers to lure in subscribers over the past week, but this is still the best deal you'll get for Hulu and Disney+, specifically. The 12-month deals are a great chance to try out a new streaming service and see if the library keeps you around.

With endless price increases and a crackdown on password sharing, I think we’re all starting to question what streaming services are worth it. Well, these Black Friday sales are offering an opportunity to sign up for new services (or ones you previously cancelled) at the lowest prices you’ll get all year. I cut back on most of my streaming subscriptions after price hikes over the summer in hopes I could get better deals now, and thankfully, I was right.
