I've been covering Black Friday and Cyber Monday since 2016, and every year it seems like the deals start earlier. This year, many major retailers kicked off their deals at the start of November to give you more time to shop. Black Friday might be behind us, but the deals at Dell continue with new Cyber Monday discounts. Dell is offering extended returns, free shipping, and pricing guarantees, with double points for Dell Rewards members.

Considering Dell is home to some of the best laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, and accessories reviewed here at Windows Central, it only makes sense that I find the best deals and list them here for easy browsing.

Should you sign up for Dell Rewards?
Dell's Rewards program doesn't cost anything to sign up, so it's easy for me to recommend you get a membership. I have one, as do many of my colleagues.
Once you're a member, everything you purchase from Dell earns you points that can go towards other purchases. Dell often has member-only discounts available, and select items have free expedited delivery.
When it comes to Black Friday (and Cyber Monday), Dell Rewards members can get two times as many points until November 27. I'm unsure why the promotion ends a couple of days before the main event, but it's a good opportunity to finish your shopping early.
Dell's price protection is in place, so you don't have to worry about buying now and seeing a lower price later. Holiday returns have also been extended, and PCs on sale have automatic free shipping to help out.
Dell isn't the only retailer hosting Cyber Monday events, and you can check out my top Cyber Monday deals at Best Buy for some worthwhile alternatives.

When did Black Friday end?
On paper, at least, Black Friday ended the moment Midnight chimed on Nov. 29, 2024, or the Friday following the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. However, that doesn't necessarily mean all the deals up and disappeared at that time. Cyber Monday is right around the corner, and that means fresh waves of sales to take advantage of. I should be clear, many deals did end alongside Black Friday, so those who hesitated are out of luck. If you missed out, though, you may have another opportunity this weekend and on Cyber Monday.
When does Cyber Monday start?
Cyber Monday began as the online retailer equivalent of Black Friday, but most shopping has gone online over the last few years. This has resulted in Black Friday and Cyber Monday being blended into one massive sales event spread across an entire weekend, with Cyber Monday marking the tumultuous finale. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024, which (as you might expect) is the Monday after Black Friday.
It's best to take advantage of sales you're interested in the moment you spot them to avoid stock shortages and limited-time discounts, but Cyber Monday does frequently boast its own batch of last-minute deals separate from Black Friday.
Which has better deals, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Because of how similar the two days (and the weekend between them have become), it's difficult to definitively say if Black Friday or Cyber Monday has the best deals. Many retailers and companies hit Black Friday running with their biggest promotions to get people in the door, but others may wait until Cyber Monday and strike with last-minute discounts that keep interest going until the end.
The rule of thumb to keep in mind here is that if you spot a tempting discount for a product you want, you shouldn't risk waiting for a better deal to come along. Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will often price match your purchases if prices fall further during your return period, so it's better to take advantage of the deal in front of you than wait for the better deal that may never come (especially since Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals tend to have limited stock).
When does Cyber Monday end?
While Black Friday and Cyber Monday tend to start earlier each year, the worldwide sales event often ends on a similar note. Cyber Monday, which this year is Dec. 2, 2024, is the final day for many of the most major and aggressive sales and discounts from the deals bonanza. While some promotions may continue after Cyber Monday ends at Midnight on Dec. 2, you really shouldn't wait to take advantage of any deals that have caught your attention.
