We're getting a head start on Cyber Monday by scouring the Web for the best laptop deals.
Heading back to work after a turkey-filled four-day weekend is never easy, but knowing you can sneak onto your computer and score a great deal on a laptop without ever leaving your chair may make your Monday a little more tolerable. With Cyber Monday sales expected to reach $2 billion this year, according to Adobe Digital Index’s 2012 holiday buying forecast, you won’t be the only one snatching up good deals.
Though iPads and iPhones are on the top of many wish lists this year, 19 percent of shoppers are planning to buy a laptop this holiday season. However, laptops are generally a higher-ticket item; maybe one you don’t think you can afford right now. Thanks to price-slashing Cyber Monday finds, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to snag a great deal on a laptop. Depending on what model you buy, you may even have some extra dough to spend on your loved ones.
Though you may already be seeing ads for Black Friday, most retailers are keeping their Cyber Monday deals well under wraps. However, we’ve done a little digging and found a few Cyber Monday laptop deals that you can put on your shopping list now.
Note: We will be updating this story as more Cyber Monday laptop deals are announced. Know of any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments below. Also, please keep in mind that these deals are valid at time of publication. Many of these bargains won’t last long, so get them while they last. Happy shopping!
