These Wirecutter-approved deals are all under $100—perfect if you’re ready to splurge but don’t want to spend too much.

Deals on Apple gear are rare, which makes these Black Friday/Cyber Monday discounts that much more exciting.

Want to shop Black Friday deals without venturing into Amazon’s territory? Plenty of other major retailers, including Target and Walmart, are offering their own major savings on Wirecutter picks.

Laptop deals are traditionally easy to come by on and around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But that doesn’t mean those deals are all good.

In the past, Cyber Monday was more tech-focused, but we find that’s not a hard-and-fast rule anymore. Cyber Monday deals are often similar or very close to Black Friday deals. There may have been some Black Friday deals that sell out and are no longer available for Cyber Monday, which is why we recommend purchasing an item you need when you see it at a price you want to pay. Our deals team has been tracking pricing throughout the year and only posts deals that meet their rigorous standards.
