We recommend Anker gear in many of our guides to consumer electronics. The company tends to make simple, reliable accessories that help you get the most out of your devices. Which is why we were happy to see this Cyber Monday Anker sale. Right now, Amazon is offering strong discounts up to 40 percent off on cables, chargers, power banks, and hubs. This is a great time to stock up for yourself, or grab a few handy items to use as stocking stuffers for the holidays. Here are the best deals from Amazon’s Cyber Monday Anker sale.
Anker's magnetic battery pack is now $25 off for Cyber Monday. This portable bank will charge your iPhone on the go, and has a kickstand to prop it up as it does so. The 10,000mAh capacity should hold enough charge to re-up your phone to 100 percent and still have a little left over for a partial refill down the line. You can even use the port to charge your phone with a cable for an even quicker recharge.
Anker’s Prime 100W fast charger is great for when you need to charge multiple devices at once. It has two USB-C ports and a USB-A port, with a maximum output of 100W when using two ports at once. That means your devices will charge up pretty quickly. It’s compatible with most popular smartphones, including the flagships from Apple, Samsung and Google, and is strong enough to charge your iPad and MacBook.
If you just need a simple way to add four USB type A connections to your laptop, this Anker hub could be what you're looking for. It connects via USB-C and offers four ports for thumbdrives, radio dongles, wired keyboards and other accessories. It works with Windows, Macs and even iPads, with no driver installation required, and supports data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. There's even a generously long, two-foot cable so you have more leeway to arrange your desk how you want. The list price is $20, but Cyber Monday takes 35 percent off, making it just $13.
The 67W Prime charger from Anker is another fast-charging option for multiple devices, though it’s a bit less powerful than its 100W sibling. For single devices, it’ll max out at 67W, while charging two devices at once will be capped at 65W. It’s compact, at about half the size of Apple’s MacBook charger of the same wattage, and has three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. It plugs directly into the wall, with two prongs that fold away for easier storage when it’s not plugged in.
If you want your devices charged as fast as possible, the Anker Prime Power Bank 200W is the one for you. Anker says this portable power bank will get your device from zero to 10 percent in just 5 minutes, and can get a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50 percent within 40 minutes. This power bank also comes with three ports (two USB-C and one USB-A), making it compatible with a wide range of devices. It comes with a compact 100W charging base that can recharge the power bank to full capacity in an hour and 15 minutes.
Prime members can get the Anker 341 Hub for 33 percent off for Cyber Monday. We recommend it in our iPad accessories guide as it's a lightweight way to add additional peripherals to your tablet. It offers two USB-A ports, two USB-C connections, SD and microSD card slots and a 4K/30Hz HDMI port for an external monitor, so you'll have plenty of options for getting the most out of the processing power of your iPad. It also provides up to 85W of pass-through charging.
Amazon Prime members can save 30 percent on one of our recommended wireless chargers. The Anker 313 wireless charger stand is just $14.40 instead of $20 for subscribers. It doesn't include a wall plug, so you'll need to supply your own. It also tops out at 10W for Android phones and only delivers 5W to iPhones, so it's not the fastest. But it can charge in landscape or portrait and for less than $15, it could serve as an extra place to drop your phone and power it up.
You can never have too many cables, especially since they always seem to go missing. Anker is running a deal on a three-pack of 100W USB-C cables, meaning they support fast charging. The pack comes with three sizes — 3.3-foot, 6-foot, and 10-foot — and they should work with most popular smartphones, laptops and tablets. They’re wrapped in braided nylon, so they should be pretty durable, too.
Anker’s Nano Power Bank is both adorable and convenient. The 5,000mAh portable charger has a built-in USB-C connector that folds away when you’re not using it, so it’s easy to toss in a bag. It maxes out at 22.5W, so while it may not be the fastest charging option out there, it’ll still juice your devices up pretty quickly. Anker says it will get an iPhone 15 to 43 percent charge in 30 minutes. It comes in five colors, but the Cyber Monday deal is for the Shell White version.
The 10,000mAh Nano Power Bank offers faster charging speeds and more power storage than the aforementioned version, plus bi-directional charging. Anker says it can bring an iPhone 15 from zero to 50 percent in 30 minutes, at a maximum output of 30W. It has a USB-C and a USB-A port, and a short USB-C cable that tucks away when you don’t need it.

If nothing took your breath (and money) away on Black Friday, Cyber Monday’s here to deliver many of the same deals, all over again. One notable pick: If you buy an Apple gift card totaling $100 or more from the retailer, you can get $15 in Amazon store credit on top.
There’s also an Xbox Series X bundle with Diablo IV for $439 at Walmart. The console typically costs $500 alone, so it’s a substantial discount. There are also decent deals on VPN services, streaming services, like Peacock, and even Audible.
I went crazy and bought Anker’s pocketable Nano Power Bank. It’s USB-C — and so is my new iPhone.

According to The New York Times, more than 100 brands and advertisers such as political candidates, have fully paused their ads on X, while dozens more are considering pulling their campaigns. If advertisers don’t come back, X could lose up to $75 million in ad revenue earnings this year.
The documents reportedly track how X would be affected by brands leaving the website, following Elon Musk’s controversial tweet agreeing with an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Media watchdog Media Matters published a report showing ads on the website right next to antisemitic content. After the incidents, IBM, Apple and Disney quickly pulled their ads from X. And Lionsgate specifically cited Musk’s tweet as its reason for suspending its advertising campaigns. According to the NYT report, Airbnb has halted over $1 million worth of advertising on X, and Netflix has pulled $3 million in ads.
As OnePlus approaches its 10th anniversary in December, it’s launching a new flagship phone in Shenzhen, China, at 2:30PM on December 5 to mark the occasion. The OnePlus 12 has a striking resemblance to its predecessor, though the camera island’s color now matches the body. Expect a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and a new Sony sensor for the 50-megapixel main camera and a 64-megapixel, 3X periscopic telephoto camera.
Intellivision’s long-delayed retro gaming system isn’t going to arrive anytime soon. The company says it doesn’t have enough money to build the Amico console in volume. Intellivision unveiled the project in 2018, said it would arrive two years later and raised millions from folks who put down a (refundable) $100 deposit. Since then, Intellivision has faced disaster after disaster, and there’s still no indication of when the Amico will be available.

Cyber Monday is behind us, and while many of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals we could find are no longer available, we're still seeing a handful for notebooks that are worth your money. If you're looking to gift a new notebook this holiday season or just upgrade your own aging device, there's still time to save on top picks from our guides to the best gaming laptops, MacBooks, Chromebooks and Windows laptops and others. Here are the best Cyber Monday laptop deals that are still live today.
The older 13-inch MacBook Air that was released in 2020 and uses Apple’s M1 chip is still on sale, with an entry-level config available for $750 at Amazon and Best Buy. We’ve seen this deal a handful of times over the last few months, but it matches the lowest price we’ve seen. It’s really worth stepping up to the newer M2 MacBook Air if you can: It’ll get you a more modern design, a faster chip, a sharper webcam and improved speakers. The 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD in this config is only suitable for casual use, and this model will almost certainly be discontinued whenever we get the inevitable MacBook Air refresh that will reportedly include Apple's M3 chip next year. But if you’re on a stricter budget and really want a MacBook, the M1 Air is still well-built, long-lasting and fast enough for the essentials. We currently highlight it in our guide to the best budget laptops.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is down to $379 at Best Buy, which is $120 off its list price. This is the latest iteration of the top pick in our Chromebook buying guide. Its 14-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS touchscreen is good for the money, and it's plenty fast for the web browsing and light work you'd do with Chrome OS. Both its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable, plus it comes with a decent 1080p webcam. This model comes with an Intel Core i3-1315U processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, one USB-A port, two USB-C 3.2 ports and a microSD card slot. The chassis isn't especially light at 3.6 pounds, and we found the battery to last roughly seven hours in testing, which is just OK. But for less than $400, this is a strong value.
Dell’s XPS 13 is down to $799 for a configuration with a Core i7-1250U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 13.4-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 resolution display. That’s $300 off Dell’s list price and only a little bit higher than the lowest price we’ve seen. The XPS 13 is the top pick in our guide to the best Windows laptops thanks to its svelte design, dependable keyboard and trackpad, lengthy battery life and solid display. You’re not getting the latest processor here, but this model is still performant enough for everyday work. The main issue here is port selection: There’s only two Thunderbolt 4 ports and no dedicated headphone jack. Still, if you can tolerate using a dongle every now and then, this is a good price for a high-quality ultrabook.
If you want a larger Windows workstation, the 15.6-inch Dell XPS 15 is also on sale. One variant with a Core i7-13700H processor, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an Intel Arc 370M GPU and a 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display is available for $1,099. That’s $500 off Dell’s MSRP and the lowest historical price we could find for this config. Performance in this model should be good for most, though other versions with a richer 3.5K OLED panel, stronger GPUs and extra RAM and storage are similarly discounted.
We gave the 2022 version of the XPS 15 a review score of 93, calling it “the best 15-inch Windows laptop” in the process. This latest iteration uses a newer generation of Intel chips, but it doesn’t make too many changes in terms of design, which is largely a good thing. It still looks sharp and feels well-made, with slim bezels, an aluminum chassis and a soft carbon fiber deck. Its memory and storage are user-replaceable, and it’s not crazy huge for a 15-inch machine, either. Its webcam is still limited to a measly 720p, however, and it doesn’t offer a 120Hz display option. It doesn’t have any USB-A ports, either, though it does include two Thunderbolt 4 ports alongside a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and a headphone jack.
The HP Pavilion Aero 13 is down to $530 for a model with an AMD Ryzen 5 7535U processor, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. This notebook goes on sale fairly often, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen for this config. It's also $20 lower than the deal we saw on Black Friday.
The Pavilion Aero 13 is the top Windows pick in our budget laptop buying guide. It’s impressively light (2.2 pounds) and slim (0.67 inches) for the money, while its 13.3-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display is sufficiently bright and colorful. It comes with a solid backlit keyboard and the essential ports as well. It’s still a budget laptop, so it doesn’t have the sturdiest chassis, and it’s saddled with a 720p webcam. You’ll also have to navigate some bloatware. But if you want a cheaper notebook that doesn’t totally sacrifice aesthetics, it’s a decent option.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is down to $2,043 at Amazon for a configuration with a Core i7-13700H, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. We gave the Surface Laptop Studio 2 a score of 85 in our review. The big hook is its hinged touch display, which lets the bottom of the screen pivot and tilt over the keyboard like an easel for digital artists. We found the 14.4-inch, 2,400 x 1,600 resolution panel to look great more generally, while its battery life, build quality and overall performance all impressed as well. It’s slightly bulkier than competing models, and it’s still expensive even at this price, but this deal makes it a little more approachable for those who want a laptop for media editing and like the hinged design.
A configuration of Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 with a Core i5-1235U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and Microsoft's Surface Pro Keyboard is down to $1,000 at Best Buy. That's $540 off Microsoft's list price. If you don't need the keyboard, a variant with a stronger Intel Core i7-1255U chip is down to $1,097 at Amazon (or $1,100 at B&H and Best Buy). That's an all-time low and roughly $200 off the config's usual street price. Another Core i7 model with 512GB of storage is on sale for $300 more.
The Surface Pro 9 tops our guide to the best 2-in-1 tablets. While its 12th-gen chip is about to be two generations old, this is still the device to get if you want the functionality of a laptop in the slim design of a tablet. We're past the point of the year when Microsoft would normally announce a refresh, but the current model should still be useful if you're coming from an older Surface in desperate need of an upgrade.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is still available for $1,200 at Best Buy for a configuration with a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. That matches the lowest price we’ve seen and takes $400 off ASUS’ list price. This model also has a 14-inch 1440p display with a 165Hz refresh rate. The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the top overall recommendation in our guide to the best gaming laptops. It’s a compact notebook that’s plenty capable for triple-A gaming but doesn’t totally sacrifice the “laptop” part of the phrase “gaming laptop.” It’s relatively light and portable at 3.6 pounds, and its keyboard and trackpad both work well. Its 720p webcam could stand to be sharper, though.
The MSI Stealth 14 Studio is another gaming laptop we like, and right now Best Buy has it for $1,100. This model includes a Core i7-13620H chip, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an RTX 4060 GPU and a 14-inch 1,920 x 1,200 display with a 165Hz refresh rate. We gave the Stealth 14 Studio a score of 87 in our review this past June; like the ROG Zephyrus G14, it’s light for the category at 3.75 pounds and it offers capable performance for everyday gaming. This config is a lower-end model than the one we reviewed — it has a slightly slower CPU and its display isn’t as sharp or fast — but the gist is the same. Its biggest flaws are its middling 720p webcam and the fact that it can run hot under load. It’s still a gaming laptop, so battery life isn’t amazing either.
Whether you should get this config over the ROG Zephyrus G14 deal above comes down to whether you can sacrifice a higher-res display for more storage space. The G14 has more ports as well, though the Stealth 14 Studio includes a Thunderbolt 4 port, which may be important if you ever plan on connecting an external GPU.
The Razer Blade 15 is down to $2,100 at Amazon and B&H for a config with a Core i7-13800H, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an RTX 4060 GPU and a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1440p resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. That’s $400 off and the lowest price we’ve seen for this 2023 model. The Blade 15 is the high-end pick in our gaming laptop buying guide. This model is powerful enough to play most modern games at high settings in 1080p or 1440p, but the main reason to buy any Blade is its design, which is slimmer and generally more premium than most gaming notebooks. Just don’t expect it to last super long on a charge or stay especially cool under load. We gave the 2022 version of the Blade 15 a review score of 86 last year.

Without much fanfare, OnePlus revealed the design that would mark its newest flagship, the OnePlus 12. While that two-digit number proves it’s no longer a young upstart, the brand is famed for outside-the-box thinking when it comes to design and materials. That’s not to say it always comes out with guns blazing, and zeal sometimes has to be tempered with practicality. Take for example the upcoming OnePlus 12 which is now officially confirmed to be using pretty much the exact same design as its predecessor. While that might not make for a sensational launch, it does give a sense of familiarity and stability. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of an earlier wooden grain shell, which could probably dampen a few excited expectations.
Designer: OnePlus
At this point, it might be difficult to pinpoint which company really started this camera design trend, but OnePlus has been doing some rather interesting experiments in the past years. In order to make the usual camera bump a little more interesting visually, the OnePlus 10 last year adopted a rather unique style where the camera’s raised bump actually continued and curved off to the side. This year’s OnePlus 11 mixed that up with the circular camera island design that made the phone look like it was wearing a monocle or an eyepatch.
The OnePlus 12 uses this exact same design with one small but important change. There are four sensors now, though one is most likely an RGB or 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor, so the flash had to move out of the enclosure, giving the camera a more symmetric appearance. Other than that, there are no big visible changes, which means that OnePlus is able to preserve its brand identity for one more generation. Admittedly, the design doesn’t appeal to everyone, but it’s hard to deny that it’s a distinctive one.
What OnePlus has officially revealed so far, however, doesn’t yet include the earlier leaked “wood grain shell,” which could either be a new variant or an official protective case. Instead, the OnePlus 12 will come in three colors with subtly different textures despite all being made from glass. White is compared to silk, black is likened to ceramic, while the green variant seems to be trying to pull off another marble-like aesthetic.
OnePlus hasn’t yet completely spilled all the beans regarding its upcoming flagship, so it’s a little too early to say if that’s all there is to it. Of course, in terms of hardware, it will have the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor to lead the way, and its photography roster is expected to include a 50MP main camera and a 64MP telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. The OnePlus 12 is scheduled to be officially announced in China next week, but a global date is expected on December 15.
