Laptop Deals

Packing a bright and clear OLED screen, you’d expect the ZenBook 14 to prioritize performance over endurance. Thankfully, it hits a sweet spot right in the middle. In our review, lead analyst Matthew Buzzi said that it was “super portable with exceptional battery life, an enjoyable OLED display, and a snappy enough processor.” With almost a full day’s use on a single charge, it’s a tremendous pick for people who work on the go with little access to power. This configuration ships with a 14-core Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Gaming Laptop Deals

Asus makes a lot of gaming laptops, but if you’re looking to step up a category the ROG Strix G16 is a solid bet. You can see how it stacks up on our list of the best gaming laptops, but from a pure hardware perspective it’s stacked, with a crackling Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Storage is also quite solid with a 1TB SSD. On the outside, you get a bright and clear 16:10 FHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, a responsive keyboard and touchpad, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and more. It’s a little heavy, but you’ve got gamer strength, you can handle it.

For a more budget-minded gaming laptop, this is an exceptional Cyber Monday price on the Asus TUF A15. The Ryzen 7000 series processor is more than fast enough to handle content creation, the latest games, and multitasking, while the RTX 4050 GPU can keep frame rates smooth at 1080p. Both the RAM and SSD space are a little on the low end, but saving $200 gives you lots of wiggle room for upgrades. The FHD screen is responsive and bright, and the entire machine is MIL-STD-810H tested for durability and reliability.

Chromebook Deals

Chromebooks are low-cost alternatives to pricier laptops, and work great for students and those who don’t need to push the performance envelope. This sleek and lightweight laptop boasts a surprisingly nice 15.6″ FHD NanoEdge display, and under the hood you’ll find just enough processing power with an Intel Celeron N4500 CPU paired with 8GB of system memory. See how it clocks in compared to our list of the best Chromebooks. Taking a Cyber Monday discount of 32% makes the Asus Chromebook CX1 an even more attractive deal.

Keyboard Deals

In our review of the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 wireless gaming keyboard, we concluded that it “offers an excellent build, plenty of customization options, and a stellar typing feel.” That last part is thanks to its in-house PBT double-shot keycaps, which have shorter stems to reduce wobbling but still provide a lot of tactile feedback. The unique lubricated switch stabilizer adds even more stability and smoothness, reducing annoying sounds and increasing responsiveness in the process. It’s a breeze to modify and hot-swappable, while tons of ports make connectivity simple.

Portable Gaming Deals

There are a few different hybrid consoles on the market now that let you take your PC games on the go, but $150 off of the Asus ROG Ally makes it one of the most tempting. In our review, we said “smart hardware, software, and design decisions make for a fun, exciting Windows-based handheld game console.” Running on an AMD Ryzen Z1 CPU, it handles most modern games ably at 1080p resolution, and the custom Windows 11 system is flexible and easy to use. The controls feel responsive and solid, and the build quality is exceptional.

Monitor Deals

What do you call a gaming monitor that already excels at a budget price when it gets even cheaper? A Cyber Monday bargain that can’t be beat. In our review of the Asus TUF VG27AQL3A display, writer Zackery Cuevas declared that the screen “holds its own in a fiercely competitive corner of the market” thanks to its support for both AMD and Nvidia adaptive-sync technologies, a serviceable QHD (1440p) resolution and a speedy 180Hz pixel refresh rate. It has plenty of ports, including a pair of USB-A outputs for charging, and it’s a breeze to set up. Taking it home for a hundred bucks is an incredible deal.

Router Deals

As the holiday season goes on, your home network is going to be struggling to keep up with visiting family and kids out of school. That’s why picking up a new router is a wise choice, especially at this deep Cyber Monday discount. We reviewed the Asus RT-AX86U Pro very positively, with contributing editor John Delaney saying that the system “gives you all the tools you need to maximize your home network for a lag-free gaming experience.” With a ton of wired ports, including a dedicated LAN port for gaming that prioritizes traffic for minimal ping, coupled with wireless performance of up to 861Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 4,804Mbps on the 5GHz band, it’s a high performer. Setup is a breeze as well.
