Cyber Weekend famously ushers in steep discounts on big-ticket purchases like Apple MacBooks and powerful gaming PCs, which typically see new record lows during the holiday season. But shoppers seeking a new budget laptop for schoolwork, streaming, or basic browsing can also find some great deals this time of year. (Sub-$100 Chromebooks are not unheard of at retailers like Amazon and Walmart in late November.)

It you're ready to get your holiday shopping out of the way, you've already got Cyber Weekend sales to peruse at Best Buy, Dell, and Lenovo. Keep reading for a list of the "worth-it" doorbusters we've spotted so far, and check back often — we'll be updating it through Cyber Monday.

Why we like it

Sliding in just under the $500 mark, the ASUS Chromebook Flip is our favorite Chromebook for travel. It's thin and lightweight with a 15-inch screen, yet heavy-duty enough to handle travel. "With a full HD display and 360-degree hinges that can switch between tablet and laptop, it’s perfect for turning your long flight or ride into a mini Netflix marathon," Mashable contributor AJ Dellinger wrote. Its specs aren't anything to gawk at compared to traditional laptops, but for a Chromebook, its Intel Core processor and 8GB RAM are pretty impressive. Slash $200 off for Cyber Monday for a limited time.

Laptop deals under $500 at Dell

Why we like it

Most sub-$300 laptops have lousy Intel Celeron N Series processors and jittery 60Hz displays, and max out with 4GB of memory and 128GB of slow eMMC storage. Not this 15-inch Dell Inspiron model, though: It's packing a 12th-gen Intel Core i3 CPU, a 120Hz display, 8GB of RAM, and a whopping 512GB of SSD storage. It's not an aesthetically stunning laptop by any means, but an incredibly good value spec-wise at just $279.99 during Dell's Black Friday Sneak Peek event, which skims 26% off its $379.99 MSRP.
