Best Buy’s best Cyber Monday tech deals

0
PC World 

Best Buy’s Cyber Monday deals are in full swing—so now’s the time to pick up laptops, TVs, streaming devices, Apple gear, and more for a whole lot less than usual.

Of course, not every discount is a good one, but that’s where we come in. Our selections for the best bargains either scored high in our reviews or are extremely popular, with discounts that put them near or below the previous all-time low price.

If you make a big purchase, don’t forget to pick up cables too! They’re essential accessories for most tech gear and also on steep sale during Cyber Monday.

Apple device deals

Apple

Sales on Apple products are typically smaller, but right now Best Buy has cut a few prices deeper for Cyber Monday. For example, this MacBook Air model is a solid upgrade if you don’t mind an older laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a still relatively new M2 chip. (Looking for more Apple discounts? You can find more Black Friday deals on Apple gear over on our sister site, Macworld.)

Mainstream laptops

Chromebooks

Whether you’re in the market for a new laptop or a Chromebook, Best Buy has some noteworthy discounts on budget and mid-range models, plus some sweet sales on premium notebooks. You can also check out our roundups of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals and best Cyber Monday Chromebook deals for more bargains to choose from, too.

Monitor deals

MSI

You can find even more discounts in our roundup of the best Cyber Monday monitor deals, but Best Buy has several deals worth a look. Right now, the strongest sales are for gaming monitors, but you can snag a solid basic monitor, too. (Note: a 27-inch 1080p display can feel not dense enough pixel-wise for younger eyes, but for us older folk, it can be more comfortable than a 24-inch screen with the same resolution.)

PC component deals

WD

SSD & storage

Newegg and Amazon may dominate for PC component sales, but Best Buy still has its hand in the game. For more storage bargains, check out our roundup of the best Cyber Monday SSD deals.

Streaming device deals

Hate your smart TV’s interface? Or want to add streaming capabilities to an older TV? You can pick up a streaming device from Amazon and Roku for all-time low prices at the moment. You can also still snag a Chromecast at a reasonable discount while stock remains (RIP).

TV deals

  • TCL S3, 40-inch 1080p Fire TV – $100 ($130 off)
  • LG B4, 48-inch OLED 4K webOS TV (2024) – $600 ($200 off)

You can find TV deals year round, but Cyber Monday is one of the better times to shop. Best Buy’s deals include tantalizing bargains, including a dirt-cheap 1080p TV (yep, they’re still a thing), one that can double as a picture frame, and an OLED model often favored as a computer monitor due its wonderfully deep blacks and vivid colors.

FAQ

1.

Are Best Buy’s Cyber Monday deals actually good?

Some of Best Buy’s deals are quite good! The tricky part is knowing which are the best deals and which aren’t, since major retailers generally lower prices on many items. But not all the discounts are noteworthy, nor the products worth your cash. That’s where we come in—we sift through the sales to find good gear at truly great prices.

2.

Are any of the Cyber Monday deals at Best Buy lower quality?

It depends on the product category. For example, retailers usually offer special models of TVs during Cyber Monday sales. They’re not always stripped down versions, but you do have to look at the specs carefully.

For most everything else, the items are the same as you’d find throughout the rest of the year. But again, that’s what we’re here for: We’ve carefully examined the product details and overall value of the deals listed above, so you can shop with more confidence and less hassle.

3.

What kind of Cyber Monday deals can I expect at Best Buy?

Best Buy discounts most product categories during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. During the rest of the year, Best Buy’s sales aren’t as high as other retailers—as one of the few stores that still has physical locations, it can’t be as aggressive in slashing prices. But during November, it wades much deeper into the fray. The trick is to know which items are also sold by other vendors. For common items like headphones, Amazon Echo speakers, Fitbits, and other consumer electronics, any good discount should match or even undercut a rival store.

4.

Is there any advantage to shopping at Best Buy during Cyber Monday?

For people who don’t have Amazon Prime subscriptions or can’t trust deliveries to arrive safely, Best Buy lets you get in on Cyber Monday discounts in a convenient way. You can order online and then opt to pick up in store. It can also be easier to make returns, since Best Buy will accept those in store as well, too. But the answer to this question is dependent on where you live and what’s easiest for you.

5.

But doesn’t Best Buy have a shorter return policy than other stores?

Not during the holidays! During the November 1 through December 31 shopping period, the retailer extends its return window to match rivals like Amazon. Most purchases will still qualify for a return, though exceptions for certain product types and restocking fees for open items still apply. You can read the full return policy on Best Buy’s site.
