We’ve combed through all of the Cyber Monday deals and Cyber Monday laptop deals to find you the best possible laptop deals today’s sale has to offer.

This Chromebook isn’t just ultra-portable, it’s also ultra-affordable. For just $149 (after a $70 price cut from $219), you can get this 11.6-inch HP Chromebook that features ChromeOS, a WLED-backlit HD display, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, an Intel Celeron N3350 processor, and an HP TrueVision HD webcam with a dual array microphone. It’s the perfect starter laptop for a student who is learning remotely.

This 14-inch HP laptop deal from Best Buy brings you a lot of features for the money. While this laptop normally sells for $400, you’ll be getting it at an $80 discount. That’s just $320. But this deal means that you’ll be getting a laptop that has a 14-inch high definition display, an AMD Ryzen 3 3250U mobile processor, 8GB of RAM, and 1TB of HDD storage. This HP laptop also runs on Windows 10 Home in S Mode, which means that the operating system is optimized to prioritize security and performance. In S Mode, you can only use apps from the Microsoft Store and you have to use Microsoft Edge for web browsing.

With this deal, Best Buy is offering you a $700 laptop for just $500. That’s a savings of $200 and a great midrange laptop. Not bad. The Asus Zenbook comes with a 14-inch full HD display, an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, an HD webcam with microphone, a backlit keyboard, and the Amazon Alexa voice assistant is built-right in. What’s also surprising, is that this feature-rich laptop is also super-lightweight as it only weighs 2.65 pounds and is only 0.7-inches thin.

This is a fantastic bundle deal because it comes at a steep $360 discount and includes the Surface Pro Type Cover. Normally, this bundle would be $959, but you’ll be getting it for just $599 and you’ll still get the Type Cover (a detachable keyboard) that normally sells separately for at least $100. Besides that, this deal gets you a Surface Pro 7 that features a 10th generation Intel Core i3 processor, 128GB of SSD storage, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, an 8MP rear-facing camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, 1080p video, 4GB of RAM, and up to 10.5 hours of battery life.

At $600, this Lenovo IdeaPad s340 deal from Best Buy is among the pricier laptops on this list, but it’s well worth it. The $600 price tag comes after a $200 price cut from $800. So you’re still getting a fairly huge discount. Plus, this laptop still has a lot to offer you. The IdeaPad S340 comes with a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen with IPS technology and a LED backlight, an AMD Ryzen 7 3700U processor, 12GB of RAM, a roomy 512GB of SSD storage, and an HD webcam with a stereo microphone. It also has modern-looking narrow bezels on its display which gives you more screen for your money.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha 2-in-1 has a name that is certainly a mouthful but that’s probably because the laptop itself is trying to pack in so many great features in a little 13.3-inch package. Best Buy is offering this laptop for what amounts to a steal since it’s selling at a $200 discount at a sale price of $650, marked down from $850. With this deal, you’ll get a Samsung Galaxy Book Alpha 2-in-1 laptop that features a QLED full HD touchscreen display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage,  a 360-degree flip and fold design, a fingerprint reader, a backlit keyboard, an HD webcam with dual array microphone, Amazon Alexa built-in, and a 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
