The best Cyber Week PC deals for 2020

By

With the second day of Cyber Week now over, the clock is running out on the biggest online retail week of the year. Fortunately, you’ve got some time left to find what you’re looking for at deep discounts. A myriad of desktop PCs, as well as components like RAM, solid-state-drives, mice, keyboards, CPUs, and graphics cards are still on sale at the best prices you’ll see until the start of the new year, but with many shoppers doing all their buying online now, you better get moving if you want your stuff to arrive before Christmas (or even before 2021).

With all these deals, it might be time to finally build a new PC if you’ve been thinking about it but needed an extra push. Don’t twiddle your thumbs any longer: Cyber Week deals go fast, especially on PC components like RAM and new CPUs, and the pressure’s on now that only a few days remain until Cyber Week ends, too. Looking for something more portable? We’ve rounded up all the best extended Cyber Week laptop deals, along with the best still-available Cyber Week gaming laptop deals.

How to choose a PC

Choosing a PC is a big undertaking. There’s a lot to take in and consider before you hit that buy button. We’ve already checked out the best desktop computers, the best all-in-one computers, and the best gaming desktops, but we’ve also got some great general advice for things to look for before making your purchase.

The first place to start is to consider is what your budget is. It’s possible to spend only a few hundred bucks or to spend thousands of dollars. You really need to hone in on that budget so you get the best bang for your buck.

It’s also important to think about how you plan on using your PC. As our guides explain above, there are lots of different reasons why you might want a PC. You may just want a general desktop PC which is where a Dell setup is usually a good bet, but you might also want a gaming PC which is where brands like Alienware and Asus are great options. Alternatively, you may have limited space and need an all-in-one unit so that the PC is built within the monitor. Don’t be tempted to buy something that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, simply because it was offered at a good price.

When buying a PC, look out for accessories. Some sale items will bundle in accessories like keyboards and mice but not all retailers will. When budgeting, plan ahead and don’t end up overspending if you can’t afford to. Shop around for the best offers here, too.

Remember — there’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to buying the right PC for you.

If you're looking for an alternative to the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, then Dell, one of the best laptop brands on the market, has a great solution for you in the form of the XPS lineup. It has a similar small frame and weight while still packing a punch in terms of specs, depending on what configuration you end up going for. Unfortunately, Dell has just refreshed their Dell XPS lineup, so there aren't a lot of great deals floating around. So, if you don't quite find what you're looking for below, then be sure to check out some of these other Dell laptop deals, as well as the general laptop deals.
Best Dell XPS 13 deals

The Dell XPS 13 is the smallest in the Dell XPS line. It's great for commuters and students. These laptops don't generally have powerful GPUs, but they're fast, reliable, and sleek. That said, the new XPS 13 lineup has come out and there aren't a lot of great deals on them right now, so we've mostly focused on older deals.

Best Mac Mini deals: Save over $100 on an Apple desktop
Apple Mac Mini 2018

If you really love Apple desktops but don't really have the space to fit in a full-sized tower, then you may want to consider the tinier Apple Mac Mini, which can easily sit on your desk near your monitor without an issue. Even though the various configurations are tiny, they have quite a bit of performance, which isn't surprising since many of them include the newer M1 and M2 chips from Apple, which are the same chips you'll find on Apple's MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. That said, all the power and tiny form factor tech do cost quite a bit of money, and some of the older models are no longer available. That's why we've mostly collected deals on refurbished versions of the Mac Mini; not only are they going to save you quite a bit of money, but they still have some solid performance.

Of course, if you don't find what you're looking for here, you could check out these other excellent Apple deals. Also, if you want a more traditional experience, take a look at these iMac deals and MacBook deals deals as well.
