Dealmaster: All of the laptops worth buying during Cyber Monday 2019 — Valentina Palladino

Electronics sales are plentiful during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so this is one of the best times of the year to buy a new laptop. To help you make an informed decision while removing the need to wade through the sea of deals, the Dealmaster is back with all of the worthwhile laptop deals you can buy right now for Cyber Monday.

Of note from our list are a few deals on some of our favorite laptops, like the7th-gen Lenovo ThinkPad x1 Carbon. Now you can get Lenovo’s premium workstation with an 8th-gen Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD, and a 14 – inch 1080 p display for $ 999. This slashes $ 400 off the laptop’s regular price, and in general, it’s always worth waiting for the rare sales that bring the price of theX1 Carbondown to $ 1, 000 or less. This is the newest version of the X1 Carbon, but you’ll have to settle for an 8th-gen Intel processor rather than the newest 10 th-gen processors (you can get the X1 Carbon with those, but you’ll have to pay more).

HP has a good deal on theEnvy x 360 15 t– a model with a 10 th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, a 15 .6-inch FHD touchscreen, 8GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD, and 16 GB of Optane memory is now just $ 649. The Envy 13 laptop impressed us by being an affordable alternative to the Specter series of laptops, and this deal is for the 15 – inch convertible version. It’s a laptop that’s arguably as sleek as its Specter counterpart and nearly as powerful, and this Cyber Monday price makes it even more of a no-brainer purchase.

There are also a number of Chromebooks on sale today, including ourcurrent favorite: the (Asus Chromebook Clip C) with a Core m3 processor, an FHD touchscreen, 4GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage is now $ 469. Not only is this one of the best designed Chromebooks you can buy, but it’s also a fairly powerful machine for the price. You can find plenty of Chromebooks for under $ 400 (some good ones are even more affordable today with Cyber Monday sales), but we recommend the Asus Chromebook Flip for anyone who plans to push the machine to its limits in terms of Web browsing, app usage, multitasking, and more. We also appreciate that it has a good battery life (roughly an average of 11. 25 hours in our testing), a microSD card for expanded storage, and a handy convertible design.

Those are just a few of the laptops on sale today. Check out the full list of Cyber Monday laptop deals below.
