Cyber Monday boasts impressive sales across a wide range of products, but finding the truly worthwhile bargains requires effort. It’s about separating the valuable from the worthless, the genuine from the fake. Like spotting those tiny dark rye chips in a bowl of Chex Mix. This is especially true in the Amazon Renewed Store, where pre-owned items are sold at even lower prices. But I managed to locate the best deals.
Here are 10 fantastic deals I found on Cyber Monday for refurbished laptops, monitors, and other PC accessories. Since these are refurbished goods (labeled “renewed” by Amazon), remember that supplies are much more limited compared to typical sale items, meaning they could sell out fast. These Amazon Renewed products:includes a 90-day guaranteeHowever, certain “Premium” products are eligible for returns up to a year after purchase.

Dell Latitude 5420 for business use – priced at $250.
Dell
This Dell modelThis laptop is a bit more recent and significantly less expensive than the ThinkPad mentioned earlier. It features an 11th generation Core i5 processor, the same 16GB of RAM, but a smaller 256GB solid-state drive. (If you’re comfortable using a screwdriver, you can likely upgrade the SSD.) While the 14-inch display isn’t exceptional, it does include an IR camera above it for Windows Hello facial recognition login. Plus, it offers a generous selection of ports. This is likely the most affordable Windows laptop you can find that still packs enough power for extensive web browsing and video streaming, without resorting to a completely used device.

Microsoft
If you need something very small and portable, but still capable for work and school, this Surface Laptop Go might be just what you’re looking for. With a 12.4-inch screen and a weight of just 2.45 pounds (1.1 kilograms), it’s extremely portable, great for throwing in a bag and forgetting about it. The all-metal body is also quite fetching, and it has a touchscreen upgrade that’s hard to find at this price. With a 10th-gen Intel processor and 256GB of storage, it’s more than a match for basic tasks, and 16GB of RAM is hard to find on this model. Just don’t expect the battery to last too long.

Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC monitor — $855
Samsung
Ah, you’re looking for a secondhand OLED gaming monitor? I also like to live…dangerously (because I bought one too, though not this model). The Odyssey G9 is as big as an OLED monitor gets right now before you bump up to a full television. And with its 5120×1440 resolution (basically a double QHD curved panel) at 240Hz of refresh, you’ll need a powerful gaming machine to take full advantage of it. Oh, and probably a very sturdy desk.

MSI 27-inch IPS QHD 170Hz gaming monitor — $149
MSI
If you need something a little less bombastic, this MSI gaming monitor is an excellent upgrade over a standard screen, and a great value. 1440p resolution is enough of a resolution boost to make 27 inches look sharp, and the IPS panel has much more accurate color than VA. At 170Hz it’s fast enough for online competitive multiplayer, even if it isn’t cutting edge. And you even get USB-C video, though be aware that 15 watts of power is only enough to support a phone or a tablet on one cable, not a laptop.

LG 24-inch IPS 1080p monitor — $70
LG
Finally, if all you need is more screen space for your laptop or a second monitor for your desktop, this LG 24-inch monitor will be perfect. With a 1080p IPS panel it’s good enough to edit video, and has a modest speed bump at 100Hz for a little extra smoothness in gaming. It’s HDMI-only, but can handle inputs from two different devices. And unlike a lot of monitors in this price range, it comes with a VESA mount for compatibility with a standard monitor arm.

Razer BlackWidow V4 75% mechanical gaming keyboard — $76
Michael Crider/Foundry
I’m not a huge fan of Razer’s keyboards, but even I have to admit that they knocked it out of the park with the BlackWidow V4. The 75% form factor is perfect for saving space on a gaming desk, the included tactile switches are great for both gaming and typing, and you can swap them out if you find something better. It feels great with tons of internal sound dampening. Even the included wrist rest (not a given for any gaming design) is nice and comfy. Razer commands a high premium for just about everything, but at a hair over $76, this one’s priced just right.

Logitech 4K Pro webcam — $70
Logitech
A good webcam is absolutely essential for working from home, and no, the one on your laptop is not good enough. Upgrade to this Logitech model for a 4K video sensor with excellent color reproduction, and you’ll get a magnetic mount that can attach easily even to monitors in vertical mode. The included dual-array microphones aren’t bad, either, though you’ll definitely want a dedicated mic for pro recording.

SanDisk 512GB MicroSD card — $36
SanDisk
The Steam Deck, the Nintendo Switch, a video camera, and any budget laptop. All of these have one thing in common: not enough storage. This 512GB MicroSD card can fix all of ’em, with enough speed (190 megabytes-per-second read) to handle just about anything. It’s a great price for half a terabyte of storage that you can easily move around with the included SD card sleeve.

Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse — $19
Logitech
I’ve used this exact model of mouse for travel for many years, and at just $19, it’s a steal. With two AA batteries it can last for three years — yes, years — of regular use. It’s also shockingly comfortable, with great speed scrolling and horizontal scrolling on the wheel. There’s only one downside: While it’s wireless, it lacks Bluetooth, so make sure you have an open USB-A port for the dongle.
