Mainstream 14″, 15″, 16″, 17″ Cyber Monday Laptop Deals 2011

Cheap full size laptops with built-in DVD burners are everywhere. Almost every manufacturer has in its offerings affordable standard notebooks for everyday use, usually based on lower-end AMD and Intel processors, such as AMD E-series or Intel Celeron or Pentium. If you add to that instant savings, you get offers that you can’t afford to miss with prices starting at below $350. Our experience is that Cyber Monday you can get a laptop for as low as $200, but these sell out very fast. The cheapest consumer laptops in general belong to HP G series, Dell Inspiron, Acer Aspire 5000 series, Toshiba Satellite C and L lines, Lenovo G and Asus K series, or Gateway and eMachines laptops.

For a higher performance in the same form factors, take a look at mainstream laptops with an AMD A6 or A8 series quad-core processor and “discrete-class” integrated graphics, but yet affordable price of around $600. Even better, Intel i7-2630QM quad-core-based machines with real dedicated video cards are below $1,000. More precisely, about $900 and up. The higher-end mainstream laptop series examples are HP Pavilion and Envy, Dell XPS, Toshiba P series, Lenovo ThinkPad and IdeaPad lines, Sony VAIO F, Asus N, and others.

Cyber Monday Tablet PC Sales

Emerging and innovative mobile computing categories don’t have to be expensive. Tablet computers are the proof. Multi-touch screens, fast processors, and a full range of features like GPS and HDMI can be found in $200 Android tablets by Lenovo, ViewSonic, other computer makers and of course Amazon. Its Kindle Fire is set to become a big hit this holiday season. If $200 is too much for you, you can grab a tablet for only $100 (like Coby Kyros), but without multi-touch support and with very limited features.

You can also choose Windows-based tablets, which are by default more expensive.
