    Not sure if its worth a very minor savings to wait a month and a half. My current laptop is not very good. I'm looking at one of the lightweight laptops (63VR, Clevo 950HP6, Aero 14) currently

    If you need a new computer now, buy one now. If you think you can wait another month and half, wait.

    Cyber Monday is the online equivalent to Black Friday and happening the following Monday, usually around the Thanksgiving holiday near the end of November. Computer deals tend not to be all that special though, especially on higher-end stuff, so it’s not like you’re going to save a *massive* chunk of cash. But hey, savings are savings, so if you’re able to wait, it would be a good idea to do so and see what happens insofar as sales events.
