Amazon is usually outclassed by rivaling stores (particularly Best Buy) when it comes to laptop deals, as many of its listings come with inflated, misleading prices or are sold by sketchy third-party sellers. But it tends to get its act together for major shopping holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

SEE ALSO: Amazon just kicked off its extended Black Friday sale. Here are 200+ of the best deals we've seen so far.

As the retail giant continues to roll out deals as part of its extended holiday sale (which began Friday, Nov. 17, or a week ahead of schedule), it's dropping a fantastic selection of legitimate and worthwhile discounts on laptops across different price points — including 2-in-1 models, gaming PCs, Chromebooks, and even Apple MacBooks (in the form of Apple Care+ bundles).

We're compiling a comprehensive list of the best Cyber Weekend laptop deals that Amazon is currently offering. Read on to see them, but make sure to keep checking back, as we'll be updating this story continuously as new offers get added.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Apple MacBook deals at Amazon

Our pick: Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M1) + 3-year Apple Care+ plan 🔥✨

Why we like it

The 13-inch MacBook Air from late 2020 nabbed a Mashable Choice Award upon release for its zippy M1 chip, quiet fanless design, and 18-hour battery life. We're still recommending it three years later as the best budget MacBook, and Amazon is now bundling the 256GB base model with a three-year Apple Care+ plan for $888.99 (a $1,178 total value); it usually retails for $999 on its own.

Our pick: Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 🔥✨

Why we like it

New as of early October, the Surface Laptop Go 3 is an ultra-lightweight laptop with a sleek 12.4-inch touchscreen, a fingerprint reader for extra security, and a superb keyboard. It's powered by an older 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor (i.e. it's not cutting-edge), but "it's ideal for students and busy-bee travelers in need of a portable notebook," said Mashable tech editor Kim Gedeon. The entry-level variant with 8GB of RAM just hit a record low of $599.99 (or $200 off) on Amazon, which beats the Microsoft Store's holiday pricing by $100.

Our pick: MSI Thin GF63

Why we like it

One configuration of MSI's 15-inch gaming laptop dropped to a dirt-cheap price of $479 during Walmart's first Black Friday Deals event. This one isn't quite as cheap, but it does have much better specs — including a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 H-series CPU with 16GB of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics. It's a great compromise between "budget buy" and "future-proofed."

Frequently Asked Questions

We typically don't recommend buying a laptop from Amazon, as Best Buy and brands' direct websites tend to offer the best deals. However, it's gotten into the habit of offering worthwhile discounts on shopping holidays like Prime Day and Black Friday/Cyber Monday; in some cases, we've seen it match or beat its competitors' prices.

There are several times throughout the year when we see extra-low prices on laptops, Black Friday season being one of them:

  • Around Amazon Prime Day and its fall counterpart (which happened on July 11 and 12 and Oct. 10 and 11 this year, respectively)

  • During back-to-school sales in July and August (which come to a head over Labor Day weekend)

  • When retailers' Black Friday and holiday deals are in full swing from October to December

  • Whenever manufacturers unveil next-generation models
