Cyber Monday 2022: deals, news, and more

Cyber Monday is behind us — but is it really, though? Many of the deals that started on Black Friday continued through the weekend, remained with us on Cyber Monday, and now, we’re here. It’s Tuesday, and there are still many great tech deals available on gadgets like earbuds, smart speakers, smartwatches, and even some smartphones.

Sure, some hot deals cropped up during that time and have since sputtered out, but if you didn’t get your chance to shop already or were indecisive, you may still be in luck. Check out all the deals we’ve compiled and rounded up for you, ranging from all types of handy products across a variety of price points. The holiday shopping season may continue to bring a smattering of great deals, though not all will be this good, so save what you can on those gifts. Or, if you’ve already been checking people off your list, maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a little self-care with something new.

With all the deals, discounts, and promotions running around, it can be awfully tempting to spend a mint on Cyber Monday. But for those trying to stay thrifty and keep their spending in check, we’ve gathered some of the best Cyber Monday deals you can currently find for less than $50. There are plenty of deals on wireless earbuds, smart home devices, and Bluetooth speakers that fall below the $50 mark, many of which we recommend even when they’re not on sale.

If you’re planning to do some spending on bigger ticket items, we’ve also rounded up all the noteworthy discounts that are currently live at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, as well as the best Cyber Monday deals overall.

What can you get that’s actually cheap this Cyber Monday that doesn't, well, suck? It turns out a lot more than you might think. While we’ve seen some significant discounts on OLED TVs, gaming laptops, and other expensive items, we’ve also stumbled upon budget-friendly deals on stuff that’s actually quite good. We know this because we’ve either tested or tried these items ourselves, like Amazon’s latest Echo Dot, which is currently half off at $24.99. Oh, and did we mention it comes with a free Philips Hue smart bulb as well?

So if you’ve got a lengthy list for your upcoming holiday gift exchange — or you just need to stretch your budget a little more this year — look no further than these Cyber Monday deals under $25 you can grab now.

Cyber Monday is finally upon us. We’ve seen scores of great deals over the past several days, but it appears the official kickoff to Cyber Week is bringing with it a fresh batch of deals — including those on Bose headphones, smart RGB lighting from Govee, and Microsoft’s adorable-yet-capable Xbox Series S. On top of that, many of the best discounts we saw during Black Friday remain, which means it’s still a great time to pick up something for yourself or someone else on your holiday shopping list.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best Cyber Monday deals you can currently get, whether you’re in the market for a 4K OLED, a gaming laptop, or another piece of big-ticket tech that would normally require you to shell out your entire paycheck. We’ve included a number of budget-friendly items, too, just in case you’re looking for chargers, a cheap(er) pair of earbuds, or other essential gadgets to round out your arsenal.

You probably know that Lego isn’t just for kids anymore — it’s a pricey hobby for adults, too! And it didn’t help when The Lego Group raised its prices this year by up to 25 percent. But today is Cyber Monday, and some of today’s deals more than make up for those price hikes.

Below, you’ll only find the very best deals on the very best Lego sets that are actually on sale. For example, I’m not seriously including this sweet $70 Sonic The Hedgehog set because it never actually hit $80, or Boba Fett’s Starship since it can almost always be had for $40, or this miniature James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 since you’re only saving $2.

You’re not just looking for a workhorse. You want a laptop that’s got game. Maybe that means frame rates, maybe even a high-refresh-rate screen for enhanced responsiveness in less demanding games. But above all, you want bang for the buck. That’s why you’re buying right now during the Cyber Monday and Black Friday period, when some of the best deals (and a bunch of predatory fake ones) show up.

These are the deals that caught my eye — the ones I might consider myself or recommend to a friend, depending on their needs and budget. Let’s start with the least expensive and go from there!

Black Friday may have come and gone, but Best Buy is still offering its best deals of the year this Cyber Monday, much like it has been for the past several weeks. We took a spin through Best Buy’s catalog to see what else it might have added to the sale. You’ll find its best online and in-store deals below on video games, 4K TVs, headphones, smartwatches, and so much more. We’ll keep this page updated throughout the weekend, as well as during Cyber Week.

A few important things to note from Best Buy’s frequently asked questions page: it isn’t offering rain checks on Black Friday deals that sell out, though its great price-matching policy won’t be in effect from now through November 28th. For items purchased between now and the end of the year, you have until January 14th to return them for a refund, which is great. And finally, you can request a price match on an item you purchased at any point within that return window if you notice Best Buy lowers its list price.

Cyber Monday is here, and Walmart is continuing to offer many of its excellent Black Friday deals. We’re still seeing steep discounts on a range of popular products, including the first-gen AirPods Pro. For your convenience, we’ve curated some of the best tech deals at Walmart for you to check out here. If you’re looking for even more deals, be sure to check out our roundup of the best early Cyber Monday deals still going at all retailers. We’ve also put together retailer-specific roundups for Target, Amazon, and Best Buy, just in case Walmart doesn’t have the item you’ve been eyeing.

The holiday shopping season is well underway, and several retailers, including Target, are offering some spectacular Cyber Monday deals for this annual shopping event. Some of the best discounts we’re currently seeing extend to wireless earbuds like the Beats Studio Buds ($89.99), as well as TVs like Vizio’s 50-inch M6-Series QLED (now $399.99). And if you’ve been putting off buying up until now, this may be the day to do it: many of the deals that Target is offering have been dropped still lower ahead of Cyber Monday.

Here, we’ve collected some of the best discounts you can find at Target, many of which were available through Thanksgiving / Black Friday weekend and price matched elsewhere. Target has been rolling out new deals every Sunday so we’ll be updating this page on a weekly basis as new deals and discounts become available. As usual, we’ll make sure to give you a heads-up as to which deals are online exclusives, which is something Target promises for the 2022 holiday shopping season.

Black Friday is a not-so-distant memory, but Amazon still has some excellent Cyber Monday deals on a variety of tech devices. We’ve rounded up a collection of all the best discounts you can still get on wireless headphones, 4K TVs, tablets, and more.

If you’re looking for discounts at other retailers, we’ve also put together roundups of the best deals you can still find at Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. To stay up to speed with everything happening today and through this week, make sure to bookmark our Cyber Monday hub and check back for regular updates.

You needn’t worry if you missed out on the steep Amazon device discounts we saw during last month’s Prime Early Access Sale. Cyber Monday is officially here, and some of the deals are even better than they were during Amazon’s recent Prime Day event. With the holiday season just around the corner, the timing’s perfect, too, given popular presents like the Kindle Paperwhite are on sale at an all-time low. We’re even seeing some of the first notable discounts on a number of newer Amazon devices, like the fifth-gen Echo Dot, which just came out last month but is already half off for Cyber Monday.

For your convenience, we’ve curated all the best deals you can currently get on Amazon devices below. If you want to save even more, however, be sure to check out our other roundups, including our guides to the best deals at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Cyber Monday offers a great opportunity to get the 4K TV of your dreams at a lower-than-usual price. The shopping day caps off what has been an amazing year for grabbing a fantastic TV for far less than its listing price. While some of our picks are sold out online, you might get lucky with availability at your local Best Buy.

Whether you want a low-frills pick that includes Roku, Fire TV, or Google TV streaming software, or one that delivers heaps of features on top of top-tier picture quality, there’s something for you in the deals we’ve found from brands like TCL, Insignia, and LG.

It doesn’t matter which console you play on, there are tons of great discounts being served up over Cyber Monday. While finding a discount on a PlayStation 5 is still wishful thinking, you can actually get a Nintendo Switch bundle or Xbox Series S for less than retail price this year, which is pretty cool. Everything from consoles to gaming headsets is receiving some sort of discount, so whether you’re looking for discounts on games or accessories, our roundup of the best Black Friday gaming deals has got you covered.

For even more deals coverage, make sure to follow our Cyber Monday storystream for regular updates and check out our Cyber Monday hub to see the growing collection of all our roundups.

Plenty of tech is on sale during Cyber Monday, including Apple products. Below, we’ve compiled the best Cyber Monday deals on Apple devices that we could find, including laptops, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, AirTags, and more. We’re still keeping an eye out for any iPhone deals that pop up as well, though the only kind of deal we’ve seen thus far are carrier discounts and not actual price cuts on hardware.

It’s a great time to buy an iPad. The base iPad from 2021 with a Lightning connector is a good value for $269.99. The $100 discount that brings the 2021 iPad Mini with a USB-C connector down to $399.99 is good, too, even though that deal isn’t new. The next step is a great deal on the 2022 iPad Air that has the M1 processor and 64GB of storage. It dropped to $549 ($50 off) at Amazon. If you’re looking for a higher-end option, the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M1 processor and Mini LED screen has never been cheaper than it is now, costing $899.99 for the 256GB version.

It’s a good time to be in the market for some new Google hardware. Google kicked off its holiday sales promotions on its store early this year, and that set off a chain reaction of the same or better deals being offered all over, with all of them carrying into Cyber Monday. While some products on sale are mainstays that see frequent discounts (like the Nest Mini smart speaker for $18), there are also excellent deals on the latest flagship phones and accessories. For example, the Pixel 7 Pro is on sale for $749, and the new Pixel Watch is $50 off.

These Google discounts are just some of this season’s many excellent Cyber Monday sales, as there are all kinds of other deals also worth your attention. .

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or trying to come through with an amazing gift for someone else, Cyber Monday offers a great opportunity to pick up the latest wireless earbuds and headphones. Some of this year’s best models from Apple, Samsung, Sony, Bose, Beats, and others have now been on the market for a few months and seeing their first big discounts. Meanwhile, old favorites are hitting all-time lows.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this list throughout the day and updating it with notable new discounts as they pop up.

If you’ve been putting off replacing an old phone until the end of the year, then well done — there are plenty of Cyber Monday deals available to take the sting out of a new phone purchase. This year’s batch of deals features some healthy discounts on the latest flagships, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Google’s excellent Pixel 7, as well as some steep price cuts on already well-priced midrange models. If you’re shopping for a new phone, take a look at our picks for the best deals of the bunch.

Times are hard, and if you’ve been stressing about how you’re going to afford a good gift this holiday season, it’s understandable. Thankfully, Cyber Monday offers one of the best (and last) opportunities to save big before the holidays. As we highlighted in our guide to the best Cyber Monday deals, we’re seeing some steep discounts on some of the newest and most popular products, including the new AirPods Pro and LG’s latest C2 OLED. There are also deals still available that won’t absolutely destroy your budget — like those on the new fifth-gen Echo Dot and even a year of Hulu.

Below, we’ve curated a guide to some of the best deals on presents you can still get. Many of these are taken right from our various holiday gift guides as well, so if you need further inspiration, be sure to take a look at those.

Deals on new LG OLED TVs are nice and all, but not everybody can afford to spend over $1,000. If you’re trying to keep your holiday shopping on a budget, we’re here to help. We found plenty of terrific Cyber Monday discounts under $100 that make for good gifts, ranging from deals on streaming services like Hulu’s to e-readers like the latest Kindle Paperwhite. We’ve curated the cream of the crop here, but if you’re on an even tighter budget, check out our guides to the best Cyber Monday deals under $50 and under $25.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great times to get your gadget shopping out of the way. Not only can you find discounts on smaller devices like headphones and games, but you can also save on bigger-ticket items like laptops across the price continuum. Whether you’re looking for the thinnest and lightest device you can buy or a heavy-duty gaming rig, Black Friday and Cyber Monday bring discounts for all.

You’ve got one more day to grab some serious bargains on gadgets for your smart home, including smart lighting, smart locks, robot vacuums, security cameras, and smart speakers, to name just a few. With Cyber Monday now in full swing, it may be your last chance to go big on some of these great deals as the Black Friday / Cyber Monday madness wraps up.

With the new smart home standard Matter on the horizon, it's worth being discerning about your bargain shopping if you plan to take advantage of the new interoperability protocol. (Which means if you want all your devices to work with all the different smart home platforms out of the box). So we’ve mainly highlighted deals on gadgets that will work with Matter — or, if not, then gadgets that work with all the major platforms.
