Cyber Monday UK deals 2024: early sales, latest news, and our expert buying advice
Our one-stop-shop for all things Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday 2024 is the primo date in any tech lover's calendar if they're on the hunt for a bargain. We've covered this annual mega-sale for well over a decade here at TechRadar and preparations are already underway to do so again this year.
This is the page that we'll be using to round up all the best Cyber Monday deals for 2024 on everything from cheap air fryers to eye-wateringly expensive high-end TVs. Cyber Monday has a stellar track record for record-low prices on some of our favourite models here at TechRadar and we're not expecting this year to be any different.
Since several retailers have already started their early seasonal sales this week, you'll find a quick overview of what's on offer today just below. I've also packed this page full of everything I know (and expect) about the upcoming sales in November and December in a handy FAQ section. As always, however, I'd recommend you bookmark and revisit this page regularly for updates as this page will be chocked-full of expert recommendations for Cyber Monday deals from now on.
Cyber Monday deals 2024: latest news
- Currys has already launched its early seasonal sale
- Early sale at Argos launches November 1st
- Christmas themed sale live at Amazon
As expected, several retailers are launching early 'seasonal' sales this week or in the following few weeks so that's dominating the Cyber Monday news currently. The first big retailer to go live is officially Currys and Argos will be following shortly so it's worth keeping an eye out from onwards.
Right now, Amazon is also offering a Christmas-themed sale that's dominated by gifts, decorations, and all the types of things you'd expect. Tech, unfortunately, is mostly missing from this sale - although I'd expect the retailer to start price-matching the others as soon as more early deals start to roll in.
Today's best sales ahead of Cyber Monday 2024

Cyber Monday deals 2024: key information
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday 2024 will officially take place on December 2nd this year but we expect plenty of discounts well ahead of this date. Immediately preceding Cyber Monday is a full weekend of discounts kicked-off by the more well-known Black Friday event and it's highly likely we'll see deals even before this.
While Cyber Monday and Black Friday both started as big one-day events, in recent years we've seen a shift toward retailers offering more generalised seasonal sales. Right now, for example, Currys, Amazon, and Argos have all launched early seasonal sales that you can check out well ahead of December.
As a general rule of thumb, we usually recommend our readers be on the look-out for deals from early November onwards. That's our personal observation but it's also backed up by industry reports. For example, Adobe's 2023 shopping forecast report tracked prices last year and found that discounts started in October with an average of 5-8% off. These discounts then deepened from 12-20% off around November 1st, followed by further reductions of up to 30% in the week preceding Cyber Monday.
How does TechRadar cover Cyber Monday?
Both Cyber Monday and Black Friday are full hands-on-deck occasions for the staff at TechRadar. Our team of experts will be searching day and night for the best deals in their relevant areas of interest - the best of which I'll be rounding up right here on this page. This page is the main hub, and will feature an overall 'best of' list of probably around one hundred deals as well as a brief overview for our readers in more of a hurry.
Alongside this main hub page, we'll also have specific pages for people looking for laptops, cameras, TVs, and many other categories here at TechRadar. Those will be more specific and tailored with even more buying advice for our readers. Make sure you don't miss them if you're looking for something in particular!
Is Cyber Monday better than Black Friday?
Honestly? Not really. We'd say that Cyber Monday and Black Friday usually have parity when it comes to the quality of the deals. In fact, it's usually the case that Cyber Monday deals in general are a continuation of those offered on the previous date, with a few exceptions here and there.
It used to be the case, at the inception of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, that the former was more of a 'brick and mortar' event, whereas the latter was an online-exclusive event. Cyber Monday originally started as a way for online retailers to match Black Friday but these days they're pretty much the same kind of sale. You should expect thousands of discounts on either day with similar if not identical deals.
What Cyber Monday deals should we expect in 2024
- Similar discounts to Black Friday
- Genuine record-low prices on tech
- Deals at Currys, Amazon, Dell, John Lewis
- Also options for Christmas presents
We can't say for certain what will be on sale for Cyber Monday 2024 but we don't expect this year's discounts to be too dramatically different from last year's sale. Generally speaking, we're likely see a wide range of discounts across a range of categories, including appliances, TVs, headphones, laptops, and many others.
Last year's best deals included some of the deepest discounts of the year on highly rated models here at TechRadar, including the Dell XPS 13, the Apple MacBook Air, and the stunning Samsung S90C OLED TV. On the cheaper end of thing, we found plenty of great stocking fillers like LEGO sets from £13, air fryers under £50, and tons of discounts on Amazon own-brand smart home devices like Fire TV Sticks and Echo Dot smart speakers.
One thing we usually like to throw-in for our Cyber Monday deals roundups are any useful options for Christmas gifts too. While gift sets aren't exactly our forte here at TechRadar we'll be sure to include any good discounts alongside our recommendations for tech for our readers looking to get some Christmas shopping done.
Three highly rated models to look out for this Cyber Monday
Samsung S90C OLED 4K TV
The Samsung S90C OLED was TechRadar's best TV of last year and it's still an amazing buy. We gave it a full five stars in our Samsung S90C review praising its stunningly bright, contrast-rich pictures. You also get extensive gaming features, a super slim design, and good built-in sound. It might not be a new set, but it's still a top performer and an awesome bargain if you can get it at a sufficiently reduced price. Right now, the record low is £849 for the popular 55-inch model so if you see it for any lower over Cyber Monday definitely consider picking this excellent TV up!
See our Samsung S90C review
Apple MacBook Air 13 (M3, 2024):
The latest MacBook Air debuted earlier this year with its powerful M3 chipset. Our five-star MacBook Air 13-inch M3 review praised its excellent performance, lengthy 18 hours of battery life and slick fan-less design. We think it's one of the best laptops you can buy right now if you've got a decent budget for a portable and powerful machine and it's a particularly good buy for creatives and anyone after a high-end device. So far, the lowest price has been £999 for the baseline 256GB configuration but we're hopeful it'll get another £50 off for Cyber Monday.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
With its 6.8-inch OLED display, lightning-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a class-leading suite of cameras, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is a formidable pocket companion. Released in February of this year, we think Cyber Monday will almost certainly have an amazing deal on this stunning flagship. So far, the lowest price ever is £949 unlocked at Amazon so we're hoping for a Cyber Monday deal of £899 or lower. It's likely we'll also have great deals at Samsung itself as the official retailer sometimes offers freebies and excellent trade-in rebates as well.

Last year's best Cyber Monday deals
Acer Chromebook 314: was £399.99 now £249.99 at Currys
This is towards the pricier end of the scale for a Chromebook, but you get an impressive amount of power for the price. That includes 8GB of RAM, which will dramatically boost performance, boot times and load times. There's also a decent 128GB of storage and battery life impresses at just over 12 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough to last a full working day. At under £250, it's a bargain for school or college, or just as a home laptop that you use for light use and everyday tasks.
Ninja AF300UK Foodi 7.6L 6-in-1 Air Fryer: was £219.99 now £139 at Argos
The Ninja AF300UK 7.6L model remains at its cheapest price in two years at Argos. It's definitely worth it at this price, given we awarded it the full five stars in our Ninja AF300UK review. It's smaller than the other models but a good option if you don't need as much space and want to spend less. We particularly praised the multiple settings, the ability to sync cooking times and the quality of the food it made.
Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum: was £399 now £269.99 at John Lewis
John Lewis' Cyber Monday deals include the top-rated Dyson V8 cordless vacuum on sale for £269 - the lowest-ever price. Perfect for pet owners, the Dyson V8 features a de-tangling motor bar that works across hardwood floors and carpets and can transform into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.
Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen): was £89.99 now £44.99 at Argos
This second-generation smart display from Google is an excellent buy at 50% off. Use it to play YouTube while you cook, play music around the house, give important updates on the weather, display all your favourite photos, wake you up gently, and so much more.
Hisense E7K 55-inch QLED 4K TV: was £699 now £399 at Amazon
This is a very affordable TV from Hisense that comes with a QLED panel for superior colours, brightness and contrast - especially in brighter rooms. Displays with this tech usually cost considerably more, so the fact you get it here in a reasonable-sized TV for under £400 is a bargain. An enhanced Game Mode, Dolby Vision and access to all the major streaming apps round out this solid TV deal for the post-Cyber Monday period.
Audible UK: three months for £7.99 £2.99 per month
Save £15 on your first three months of Audible with this Cyber Monday deal from Amazon. Available for a limited time only, this promotion gets you a full Audible membership for well under half price. It also includes three free books (that are yours to keep forever) and unlimited streaming of the Plus catalogue. Note that this Audible deal is only eligible for new customers (those on a free trial are also excluded).
Amazon Fire HD 10: was £159.99 now £94.99 at Amazon
We haven't tested the brand-new Fire HD 10 just yet here at TechRadar but previous versions have been decent for the price. This is the second discount on the newest version – it was reduced to £99.99 earlier this week but has now dropped by another £5. The Fire HD 10 features a big, bright 10-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM, and an octa-core processor for relatively decent performance (for the money). It's ideal for watching content or using any number of Amazon's own-brand applications. The tablet also works with Amazon Alexa and provides an impressive 13 hours of battery life.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was £229 now £199 at Amazon
They only launched a couple of months ago and this is the first discount I've seen on the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.
Meta Quest 2 (128GB): was £349 now £249 at Currys
The Oculus Quest 2 / Meta Quest 2 is now down to its lowest price ever at Currys. This felt inevitable during this year's Cyber Monday event considering the Meta Quest 3 is now available, but this is still a great choice for an accessible VR headset at a reasonable price. It remains a great piece of kit thanks to its ease of use, comfortable weight vast catalogue of supported games and reasonable 128GB of storage. A 256GB version is also available for £299 at Currys.
Sony WF-C500: was £90 now £43.69 at Amazon
We already called these earbuds 'great value for money' in our Sony WF-C500 review – and that was at the full asking price. With 45% off, we think they're an absolute steal and then some. Yes, 20 hours of battery can be bettered – but 10 hours from the buds alone certainly can't at this new low price point. They're also light and comfortable, providing an exciting, musical sound. Oh, and this is the cheapest price ever - sounds perfect.
Dell XPS 13 laptop: was £1,048 now £898.99 at Dell
One of the best deals in the Dell Cyber Monday sale is on this specced out XPS 13 - one of our favourite models here at TechRadar. Inside, it features an Intel Core i7-1250U chipset, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD - really great specs to get at this price point thanks to a respectable £150 discount at the official Dell Store.
MacBook Air (M1, 2020): was £999 now £799 at Amazon
This is a great price for the previous generation MacBook Air M1 - although it is £20 away from the previous record-low. Even though there's a newer M2 model available now, this is still a very powerful creative workstation that'll suit most users. If you've had an eye on the device we called a 'game-changer' in our MacBook Air M1 review then now's still a good time to buy.
Beauty gift sets: up to 20% off at John Lewis
Ahh gift sets - the classic Christmas stocking filler. If you're stuck for ideas and want to treat that special person - here's a good place to look. John Lewis has already posted a number of excellent discounts on everything from super cheap sets to more premium choices. There's a lot on offer here - including aftershaves for men.
The North Face clothing: up to 20% off at John Lewis
The nights are drawing in and the weather... well, let's not even talk about it. Get prepped for the winter by picking up some discounted North Face gear at John Lewis this Cyber Monday. Available are a wide range of discounts of up to 20% on everything from woolie hats to premium jackets - everything you could need for even the wettest of winters.
Lego Advent Calendars: from £12.50 at Argos
Mix up your advent calendar this year so that instead of a daily chocolate you get a new mini Lego set to build or a character to assemble. This is the cheapest price we've seen for these popular holiday treats so far. Options include Lego City Adventures, Lego Marvel, Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter, and Lego Friends.
Amazon Echo Pop: was £44.99 now £17.99 at Amazon While the Echo Pop is a basic smart speaker in its own right, it's more than enough to kick-start your smart home setup thanks to its full Alexa support. You miss out on a few key features versus the Echo Dot - like a temperature and motion sensor - but otherwise, they're fairly similar devices. Our main complaint when we reviewed this model was the price so today's two-for-one deal at Amazon makes a lot of sense.
Gift cards: up to 20% off at Amazon
Need a quick and easy Christmas gift? You can now get 20% off a range of gift cards at Amazon. Many popular brands, retailers, restaurants and services are available, including Odeon, Vue, New Look, Pizza Hut, Bella Italia and more. The amount you can add to some cards is limited, but the majority are between £20 - £35.
Silentnight Comfort Control Heated Electic Blanket: was £42.99 now from £35 at Amazon
With the chilly winter nights now upon us, there's nothing like getting cosy in bed with a cup of tea and a good book, film or video game. And now you can up your comfort with this heated underblanket from Silentnight for 30% off. Multiple sizes are available and you can simply attach the fleece layer easily to your mattress. It has three heat settings, is designed to prevent hot spots and is also machine washable for easy cleaning.
Amazon Smart Plug: was £24.99 now £12.99 at Amazon
Even if you don't have a house full of smart devices, this handy little gadget from Amazon can add smart capabilities to attached tech such as timers, schedules and voice controls. It also works great with other Alexa devices such as the Echo Dot or Echo Show. Now over £10 off - it's a super useful and cheap addition to your shopping cart.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was £229 now £199 at Currys
A Cyber Monday deal with the lowest price yet on the latest Apple AirPods Pro 2, Curry's has a price that smashes the previous record low by £20. Rated as one of the best earbuds you can buy, the AirPods Pro 2 feature active noise cancellation to block out unwanted noise, improved audio quality, and a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life.
Xbox Series S - Starter Pack: was £249.99 now £209 at Amazon
A saving of £40 is now available on this Xbox Series S bundle at Amazon, after it dropped to £189 for Cyber Monday. Microsoft's cheaper current generation console is not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but with this deal, it's £170 cheaper and still capable of playing all the same games in 1440p at 120fps. Plus, you get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate included to get access to dozens of top titles and indie gems. A good option if you want to game on a budget.
Sony WH-1000MX4: was £249 now £197.99 at Amazon
The Sony WH-1000MX4 are a little older now but they are still some of the best over-ear headphones ever. These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's £80 less than the newer Sony XM5. We still rate these as the best headphones for most people, exactly because you can find them at a price like this right now.
Samsung 65-inch S90C Smart UHD 4K OLED TV: was £2,899 now £1,699.99 at Currys
We've actually bought: The S90C OLED is the slightly more budget-friendly cousin to the S95C, and now it's £1,200 off at Currys. Plus, you can get an extra £200 in cashback when you buy it until the end of the month when you claim through Samsung. Don't be mistaken in thinking this is the inferior set, however, as it's our top pick for this year's best TV in the TechRadar Choice Awards. Our Samsung S90C review awarded it five stars out of five, praising its gorgeous picture and gaming features. It's not as bright as the 95C, and its sound is also a little weaker, but it's a fantastic choice in its own right and one that one of our editors has already snagged at this price.
Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner: was £399.99 now £249.99 at Amazon
Here's a new record-low price for the appliance we awarded 4.5 stars out of five in our Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner review. Again, I can't praise these vacuums enough for the Anti Hair Wrap tech that's saved me so much time unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum. Flexology tech makes it a good option for reaching under furniture and this upgraded Stratos version boasts anti-odour tech and CleanSense IQ that automatically adjusts suction power to tackle tougher areas of dirt.
Refrigerators: 25% off when you buy 3 large kitchen appliances at Samsung
The Samsung Week sale doesn't just include great prices on phones and TVs - you'll also find great discounts on large appliances. Right now, Samsung is offering 25% off when you buy 3 large kitchen appliances, or 20% when you buy two. Sure, that means you have to double (or triple) up in your basket, but the potential savings on offer here reach into the thousands.
PlayStation 5 Console: was £479.99 now £389.99 at Currys
Save £90 - This is just £10 above lowest price we have ever seen on the standard PS5 console, making it a great choice if you want to dive into some of its biggest exclusive titles like Marvel's Spider-Man 2. At such a huge discount, however, we expect stock to sell out fast.
Nintendo Switch + Nintendo Switch Sports + 3 Months Switch Online + Super Mario Bros. Wonder: was £339.98 now £279.99 at Smyths Toys
Smyths Toys has claimed the top spot for the best Nintendo Switch bundle I've seen this November so far. It includes a Switch console, a copy of the party game Nintendo Switch Sports and your choice of either the latest magical platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder or the eternally popular racer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. That's almost a £60 saving compared to buying everything separately and a fantastic way to get started with the popular Nintendo console.
Sony WH-1000XM5: was £380 now £279 at Amazon
Quite simply the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 was outstanding, the XM3 before it was excellent, and it'll come as little surprise to know that Sony's XM5 proposition is also incredibly hard to beat – especially at this cheapest price yet. Get them if you want some of the best noise-cancelling headphones money can buy from a trusted manufacturer.
Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was £369.99 now £299 at Very
The 2021 iPad may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue, according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review, whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games. Today's deal from Amazon brings the tablet down to £299, which is the best price ever.
Nikon Z5 body only: was £1,599 now £975 at Amazon
Save £640: Nikon's budget-friendly full-frame shooter just got a whole lot cheaper with this sizeable £640 price cut at Amazon. We rate the Z5 as one of the best entry-level mirrorless cameras thanks to its 24MP sensor, 3.2-inch tult touchscreen and moderate 4.5frps burst shooting. It shoots 4K video albeit with a heavy crop, but the Z5 is an excellent option for a photography-focused individual. If you need a lens alongside the camera, then the bundle with the 24-50mm lens is our pick of the options, for just £1,215.
Canon EOS R6 (body only): was £2,399 now £1,399 at Jessops
Save £1000! The Canon EOS R6 was succeeded by the Mark II version around this time last year, but the original remains a brilliant camera, with 20.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor, speedy 20fps burst shooting and one of the best autofocus systems around. It's now at its lowest price ever for UK shoppers from Jessops who is also selling the first-gen model with the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens for only £1,729 – again a saving of £1000.
