If you’ve been thinking about tightening the security on your computer, you should grab a VPN subscription during Cyber Monday deals, and some of these are even better than during Black Friday. VPNs help protect your information, as well as unlock regional content on streaming services, which are all extremely useful. Try using them with the Cyber Monday laptop deal or Cyber Monday iPad deal you also scored to make yourself feel safer and more nimble when you use the devices online. To help you out, we’ve pulled a list of the best options available today.
Our Surfshark review focused on the Surfshark One product, finding that it had incredibly quick speeds, great customer service, and nice dedicated antivirus software to make your browsing even safer. And right now it is just $2.49 per month for two years with a bonus four months, just because.
This has to be one of the best deals if you’re just looking for longevity of service. Where VPNs get you is the big cost in the re-up, not the initial sale. Grab this and get 60 months at a rate of $2 per month and forget about VPN hopping for quite some time.
AdGuard offers a pretty interesting setup that can be accessed completely for free and then upgraded later if you want whole-device protection. As an unusual (but VPN-adjacent) quirk, it even lets you pay in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
NordVPN is probably one of the best-known VPNs out there and is even on our list of best VPNs. The 27-month Plus plan comes with many added benefits besides the VPN, including malware protection, tracker and ad blockers, a password manager, and a data breach detector. At 27 months, it also helps circumvent (at least for awhile) the biggest complaint from our NordVPN review: the subscription price after the first year.
IPVanish’s Essential plan may not come with cloud backup or phone support, but it does give you threat protection and VPN usage on unlimited devices for just $2.19 a month (with this deal) and a 30-day money-back guarantee, making it an extremely affordable plan for anyone.
If you don’t care about any specific feature, and just want a VPN to mask your location or add to your privacy, there is basically just one stat for you to look at — contract length.
VPNs often have great deals on their 1-year, 2-year, or even longer plans. And around Cyber Monday, it can reach over 80% off. The problem? If you forget to cancel you have to pay the original price. So, if you find a decent VPN that has the features you want, getting a long contract with a locked in deal price is a huge win for you. Ultimately, VPNs will only ever cost you a few dollars a month if you plan your deals strategically and always remember to cancel your plan before it renews.
If you do care about extra features, pay attention to common extras like password managers, antivirus protection, and bonus cloud storage and/or backup. These typically don’t add too much to service costs when part of a Cyber Monday year-long or multi-year deal package.
We started looking at our reviews — what we like, and what we don’t like. We then head out and find the best deals on these items, so we’re purposefully curating, instead of filling the list with products that just happen to be discounted. We think a smaller, more definitive list is better than a list of a thousand products.
We also include things we haven’t reviewed where it makes sense, doing our research to make sure it’s a quality product. We’re looking at reviews from subject matter experts and on the shopping platforms themselves, and comparing the product to the alternatives. If we think it all checks out, it makes the cut.
Also keep in mind that all prices were accurate at the time of publishing. While we’re checking back and updating this post with the latest deals and prices, we can’t ignore the fact that deals move fast on Cyber Monday, and it’s possible that an offer may have expired between when you click and when we last hit update.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
