A collage of Apple, Samsung, Dyson, Sony, and Nintendo products on a blue background with a Cyber Monday deals banner

[Update December 2, 2022: We're coming to the end of the Cyber Monday sales, so we'll be waving good bye to this hub for the year. If you want to keep up to date with deals available in Australia throughout the year, jump on over to check out what we think are the best tech deals in Australia currently available and updated regularly each week.]

Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday might be officially over for another year, but that doesn't mean the deals have disappeared overnight. 

There are still several retailers still offering Black Friday sales, though some retailers like Amazon have officially finished up their offerings for 2022. There are still a lot of discounts that have carried on past the sale, but don't dilly-dally, some of these savings will finish at the end of November 30.

And with the sales extended, you can even finish off your Christmas prezzie shopping and save yourself some cash with these discounts. 

We've gathered all the highlights of the still-available tech deals below, along with a list of retailers with Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals still on.

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i | i5 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / RTX 3050 | AU$1,699 AU$1,359 (opens in new tab) (save AU$340)

As an entry-level gaming laptop, this Lenovo offering (via Amazon AU) is pretty impressive. While its GeForce RTX 3050 GPU is one of Nvidia's most basic gaming-grade options, its other specs (particularly the 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD) are better than what you'd normally find at this price point. The 15.6-inch display offers fast refresh rates, although colour are a little flat according to our colleagues at T3 (opens in new tab) and it's a bit on the heavy side at 3.2kg. While you can still save 20% off this laptop, it was cheaper during Amazon's Black Friday sales at only AU$1,099.

This is an extremely pricey piece of kit at full price, and while five grand is still a lot – even this highly specced – these Aeros really are impressive.

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed wireless gaming mouse | AU$109.95 AU$49 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$60.95)

Amazon had knocked 65% off this ergonomic, wireless gaming mouse during Black Friday, but it has since jumped back up to AU$49. 55% off is still a good bargain on a mouse we gave 4.5/5 stars in our review back when it was first released in 2020. It's got an impressive battery life for a wireless clicker, and two connection options (Bluetooth and Razer's own HyperSpeed Wireless). The lowest price we've seen on this gaming mouse before now was AU$39, but we don't know when we'll see that price again.

Cooler Master MasterMouse CM110 gaming mouse | (opens in new tab)

Cooler Master MasterMouse CM110 gaming mouse | AU$39 AU$19 at Mwave (opens in new tab) (save AU$20)

It might not have all the bells and whistles of a more premium mouse, but it's got the important ones. And at just 19 dollary-doos over at Mwave, the Cooler Master CM110 is an absolute steal. It's got 3-zone RGB, adjustable DPI optical sensor and six buttons. Come on, it's $19!

Logitech MX Anywhere 3 (Pale Grey) | AU$129.95 AU$85 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$44.95)

This Logitech mouse is wireless, compact and can connect to multiple devices at once. Using either Bluetooth or a USB dongle, you can switch between your laptop, PC or iPad with a single button. We haven’t tested this exact mouse for ourselves, but we’re highlighting it here because this is the lowest price we’ve seen (and we are big fans of the Anywhere 2 that came before it).

Crucial P3 4TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD | (opens in new tab)

Crucial P3 4TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD | AU$579 AU$429 at Mwave (opens in new tab)(save AU$150)

It's tough to find a 4TB SATA SSD at this price, let alone an NVMe one. This Crucial 4TB PCIe 3.0 is a great option for a secondary drive or storing a big game library. It won't set speed records but at this price you won't find better.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU (opens in new tab)

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU | AU$399 AU$199 on Mwave (opens in new tab) (save AU$200)

This AMD CPU is super affordable, making it a good option for those who want to game a little (particularly older games) or those that don't require a powerful and expensive graphics card. This deal from Mwave comes with a bundled cooler too.

Samsung T7 Portable SSD (1TB) (opens in new tab)

Samsung T7 Portable SSD (1TB) | AU$209 AU$143 from Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$66)

The Samsung T7 is the #1 pick in our best portable SSD guide, and now you can get it with a 32% discount. It’s not the lowest price we’ve seen (that was AU$127) but this deal is inching fairly close. We like it for its super-fast data transfer speeds, and wide compatibility with PC, Mac, Android and gaming consoles.

Cooler Master HAF 500 ARGB white E-ATX case | (opens in new tab)

Cooler Master HAF 500 ARGB white E-ATX case | AU$199 AU$150 at Mwave (opens in new tab) (save AU$49)

That's where this this Cooler Master case comes in – it includes dual 200mm intake fans perfect for a hot-running 2023 system. A well-built white case with ARGB always looks good too, and it's 25% off at Mwave.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6GB graphics card | (opens in new tab)

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6GB graphics card | AU$399 AU$329 at Mwave (opens in new tab) (save AU$70)

We might want a shiny new RTX 4090, but at over three grand, that's an instant pass for most. This GTX 1660 Super is a far more worldly option at $329. It's a good card for 1080p gaming and it might offer a surprising bump in performance if you're upgrading from a card from a few years back.

Headphones & speakers

Bose QuietComfort 45 | (opens in new tab)

Bose QuietComfort 45 | AU$499 AU$339 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$160)

Sony's outstanding noise cancelling wireless earbuds are at their lowest price within the last year (albeit only just so). Not just adept at blocking out external sounds, Sony's wireless 'buds sound pretty fantastic too, so much so, we deemed them to be the best in-ear wireless headphones of 2021. The discount only applies to the black colour option.

Ultimate Ears Boom 3 (opens in new tab)

Ultimate Ears Boom 3 | AU$229 AU$148 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$81)

The UE Boom 3 is an excellent party speaker, pumping out powerful sound for its deceptively small size.

If you want to blast your favourite tunes by the pool, you can currently pick one up for a 35% discount on Amazon.

Sony A80K Bravia XR 77-inch OLED TV | AU$6,995 AU$5,488 at JB Hi-Fi (opens in new tab) (save AU$1,507)

Comfortably one of the best mid-range OLED TVs on the market right now, the Sony A80K might not offer all of the premium features found in the truly top of the range TVs, but features enough to make the price solid value. That's especially true thanks to this Black Friday saving.

You'll also find savings on the A80K in other sizes:
Sony A80K 65-inch AU$3,795 AU$2,995 (opens in new tab) (save AU$800)

Yamaha ATS-1090 | AU$349 AU$185 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$164)

An affordable home audio choice from a quality brand, the Yamaha ATS-1090 is an TV soundbar that offers half-decent performance at a seriously reduced price. While the ATS-1090 features built-in subwoofers for deep bass, its clarity of dialogue and vocals hasn’t been compromised, and a virtual surround-sound setting is also built in. A good option if you want to upgrade your TV sound but don’t have a lot of money to spend, the Yamaha ATS-1090 soundbar is now available for an impressive 47% off.

Samsung HW-Q990B Home Theatre System (opens in new tab)

Samsung HW-Q990B Home Theatre System | AU$2,099 AU$1,225 at Appliance Central (opens in new tab) (save AU$874)

It's a little unfair to refer to this one as just a 'soundbar', despite it managing to find its way into our list of best soundbars. As you might expect at its price point, the Samsung HW-Q990B is a full home theatre solution with arguably the best high-end Dolby Atmos performance of any soundbar package on the market. And it lands a Black Friday saving of over AU$870.

Yamaha ATS-2090 Sound bar with Wireless Subwoofer (opens in new tab)

Yamaha ATS-2090 Sound bar with Wireless Subwoofer | AU$499 AU$399 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$100)

Sneaking its way into our list of best soundbar options (under its other name, Yamaha YAS-209) is one of the very best surround sound solutions at its price point, with a big soundstage and added Alexa functionality seeing it double as both a soundbar and smart speaker in one. It had ht 50% off earlier on, but it has since risen back up to only 20% off. Still, that means you can grab one of the best soundbars available for under AU$400.

Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Max (opens in new tab)

Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Max | AU$3,999.95 AU$3,190 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$809.95)

OK, we know this is a super expensive soundbar, but you're getting your money's worth here. Our colleagues over at What Hi-Fi? have given this a 5-star review (opens in new tab) and we trust them – they are the experts on all things audio after all! And that's despite its flaw of fussy positioning (its ports aren't the best placed), but beautiful sound with excellent 3D surround effects more than makes up for it.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (opens in new tab)

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max | AU$99 AU$49 (opens in new tab) (save AU$50)

Amazon's higher-end streaming stick is back to its lowest price of AU$49 and we think it's worth it if you want to upgrade your old TV with the latest streaming tech. Ultra HD, HDR, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support... it's all here, with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. And an Alexa voice remote is included in the box.

Amazon Fire TV Cube | (opens in new tab)

Amazon Fire TV Cube | AU$219 AU$159 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$60)

The Cube is Amazon's flagship streaming device – it's most powerful one that can make your 4K stream look crisper still.  This is a third-gen model but the first to come to Aussie shores, and it's just picked up its first discount. It connects to your TV via an HDMI cable – which you will need to buy separately – and houses all the streaming apps you might need. It's faster than the Fire TV Sticks, with Amazon promising less buffering when using the Cube.

LG 86-inch Nano86 (opens in new tab)

LG 86-inch Nano86 NanoCell smart 4K TV | AU$4,250 AU$2,798 on Appliance Central (opens in new tab) (save AU$1,452)

Gamers, this one's for you. If you were looking for a capable 4K TV to pair with your next-gen console, boasting features such as variable refresh rate, 4K at 120Hz refresh rates and Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM), the LG Nano86 is a solid option. That's without considering this massive discount on the enormous 86-inch screen courtesy of Appliance Central.

LG 86-inch QNED80 4K QNED TV (opens in new tab)

LG 86-inch QNED80 4K QNED TV | AU$4,999 AU$3,980 on Appliance Central (opens in new tab) (save AU$1,019)

Simply put, the QNED80 is one of the better TVs on the market right now, with the α7 Gen5 AI processor giving it no shortage of grunt, including premium features perfect for next-gen gaming. Via Black Friday MVPs Appliance Central, you can save on this 86-inch model. If, however, you're lacking the space or the extra cash, you can also pick one of the other discounted QNED80 screens.

75-inch (opens in new tab): AU$3,499 AU$2,780 (save AU$719)
65-inch (opens in new tab): AU$2,499 AU$1,990 (save AU$509)

Gaming

Xbox Series S 512GB Console (opens in new tab)

Xbox Series S 512GB Console | AU$499 AU$445.95 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$53.05)

There was a generous AU$100 off on this console during the official sale period, but the discount is no longer available anywhere. Although Amazon still has small discount, so if you missed out on this value-for-money console earlier, you could consider getting it now. There's no disc tray here, which might seem intimidating at first, but when you pair this next-gen console with an Xbox Game Pass subscription you unlock access to dozens of games for a monthly fee of little more than your Netflix subscription.

Logitech G G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel (opens in new tab)

Logitech G G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel | AU$599 AU$435 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$164)

Having dropped to under AU$400 during Black Friday, the Logitech G G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel has since jumped back up in price to AU$435. That's still 27% off the originaly price of this immersive controller, so if you want to put the pedal to the metal, you still can for a little less.

NBA 2K23 (PS4) (opens in new tab)

NBA 2K23 (PS4) | AU$99.95 AU$41 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$58.95)

If you're an avid NBA fan, you know exactly what to expect from an NBA 2K game. The year changes, the rosters change and the graphics improve slightly, but the core source of enjoyment remains the same. If you're one of those who want to stay up to date with your digital hooping, this savings opportunity is for you if you own a PS4.

While there's option for the Nintendo Switch, it's available on other platforms:
PS5: AU$119.95 AU$49 (opens in new tab) (save AU$70.95)
Xbox One: AU$99.95 AU$44 (opens in new tab) (save AU$55.95)

Dying Light 2 Stay Human (PS5) | AU$99.95 AU$39 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$60.95)

Keen to get your Zombie fix? The much anticipated, oft-delayed sequel to 2015's Dying Light arrived in February, and while it didn't quite manage to match the acclaim of the series' first entry it nonetheless is a good chance to scratch any Zombie killing itch you might have. With a 61% saving attached to this one, what is there to lose?

Metroid Dread (Switch) (opens in new tab)

Metroid Dread (Switch) | AU$79.95 AU$45 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$34.95)

One of 2021’s most popular titles for the Switch can now be snapped up for AU$45. The game was previously down to AU$36, which was the lowest price we’d seen, but it’s since gone up a little. This one will take you about 9-13 hours to finish, depending on how much of the game you want to see and complete, and series fans yet to play it have their best opportunity to jump on with this handy saving.

Smart home

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) (opens in new tab)

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) | AU$199 AU$99 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$100)

This smart display's 8-inch screen hits the sweet spot between size and functionality. It’s got a great camera for video calls and a faster processor than its predecessor, but not the best audio quality or screen resolution. It's been AU$99 before, but it's never dipped below that from what we can remember. Available in two colour options.

Tablets & ereaders

Kobo Forma | (opens in new tab)

Kobo Forma | AU$429.95 AU$379.95 on Kobo (opens in new tab) (save AU$50)

Considering its age, you really shouldn't be paying full price on this 8-inch ereader, plus it's been consistently discounted by AU$50. It's a shame that Kobo hasn't dropped the price further, but it's still worth it if you want a very capable ebook reader. Asymmetric design with pag-turn buttons, a large yet comfortable screen size, decent performance, OverDrive and Dropbox support... it's a good 'un.

Smartwatches & fitness trackers

Garmin Instinct (opens in new tab)

Garmin Instinct | AU$399 AU$282.50  on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$116.50)

This Garmin Instinct watch is currently 29% off, but it's not the lowest price we've seen (that was AU$228). Even at this price, it's still a darn good multi-sport smartwatch. The Instinct has already been succeeded by the Garmin Instinct 2, but the first-gen is still a great wearable.

Fitbit Charge 5 (opens in new tab)

Fitbit Charge 5 | AU$269 AU$189 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$91.05)

We think the Fitbit Charge 5 is extremely impressive, as it brings together all of Fitbit’s best features into one activity tracker. It’s got onboard GPS, an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor for measuring stress, contactless payments, sleep tracking and excellent heart rate monitoring. It's now just AU$189 on Amazon, a 30% price drop from the original RRP. Just note, it did hit AU$164 during Black Friday so the price has jumped up a little following the big sales event.

Garmin Vivofit Jr 3 | (opens in new tab)

Garmin Vivofit Jr 3 | AU$139 AU$99 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$40)

Looking for a fun way to encourage your child to remain active? This is a great activity tracker that's also swimproof. It's also got great battery life and is sized well for small wrists. However, it does require a paired phone to work, so if your child hasn't yet been given one, it might make managing the device a bit of a chore. This great discount is only on the blue colour option though – the others have various discounts off but not the big 29% on offer for the blue one.

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music | (opens in new tab)

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music | AU$579 AU$311.30 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$267.70)

The Forerunner 245 is one of Garmin’s entry-level running watches. It’ll give you good insight into your performance without bogging you down with the complex data that you’d find in Garmin’s more premium offerings. You’ll be able to store music from select streaming services too. And it's just half price in two colour options (the black is slightly more expensive).

Cameras

Fujifilm X-H2 (body only) (opens in new tab)

Fujifilm X-H2 (body only) | AU$3,399 AU$2,634.15 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$764.85)

This is the world's first 40MP APS-C camera, so you can expect incredibly detailed photos from the Fujifilm X-H2. It supports 8K video capture at 30fps, and powerful burst shooting at 15fps with the mechanical shutter. DigiDirect (opens in new tab) had previously brought the price down to AU$2,479, but that deal seems to be over for now. This is the next best price.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II (body only) | (opens in new tab)

Canon EOS 6D Mark II (body only) | AU$1,599 AU$1,449 after cashback on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$150)

Don't be fooled by Amazon's pricing here. This amazing full-frame DSLR is still retailing for around the two-grand mark, so that list price is already the lowest price at the time of writing. Then throw in the AU$150 cashback offer from Canon available via redemption and this becomes one of the highlights of the Black Friday 2022 camera discounts.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 (opens in new tab)

Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 | AU$119 AU$92 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$21)

Spread a little creative Christmas cheer with this instant camera. It's super easy to use, produces some pretty good photos and will capture your memories instantly to stick up on your fridge. It'll make a great gift too.

Personal care

GHD Unplugged cordless straightener | (opens in new tab)

GHD Unplugged cordless straightener | AU$495 AU$396 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$99)

GHD is known for making some of the best hair straighteners on the market, but this Unplugged model, as the name suggests, is great as it's cordless. It has some competition from a few brands, but we love the GHD Unplugged because it's compact, easy to use and looks quite sleek. Its prowess, however, comes at a steep price, but this 20% off on Amazon makes it a more tempting alternative to the Dyson Corrale. (Though it did hit a lower price during Black Friday at 24% off).

Waterpik Cordless Advanced water flosser | (opens in new tab)

Waterpik Cordless Advanced water flosser | AU$220 AU$170.50 on Amazon (opens in new tab) (save AU$49.50)

There are water flossers and then there are water flossers. The ones with tanks are bulky and cables get everywhere. This cordless option is far more portable and perfect to carry with you when you travel. It had dropped down to 55% off prior, but at this price you're still saving 23%.

Appliances

Cyber Monday 2022: key information

When is Cyber Monday 2022?

In 2022, Cyber Monday is on November 28, the Monday directly following this year's Black Friday, which falls on November 25. Though Cyber Monday is officially only one day, some retailers will offer 'Cyber Week' sales that can continue on until the following Monday, but these will be few and far between in Australia.

What is Cyber Monday?

With the rise of internet shopping over 15 years ago, Cyber Monday emerged to give new online retailers the opportunity to grab a cut of the Black Friday sales profit. It worked and has been tagged on the end of Black Friday since 2005.

Now a major part of the Black Friday weekend, Cyber Monday closes out the biggest sales event of the year, and this year it lands on November 28 – the Monday directly after Black Friday, which falls on November 25 in 2022.

Is Cyber Monday too late to get a good deal?

Generally, no – often Cyber Monday will still offer up a bunch of the best deals during the Black Friday sales period. However, in previous years there have been supply chain issues that have caused items to become quite limited in a variety of different categories. Previously toys, phones and even mattresses have been hard to come by on the last day of the Black Friday weekend. This year, we're expecting stock issues on tech, like popular smartphones (Apple specifically), cameras and potentially game consoles too.

It’s still too early to pinpoint the best deals on offer during Cyber Monday, it is generally better to get in early to avoid disappointment especially on high-demand items that may only have limited stock during the sale. Regardless, we’ll be keeping an eye out for the best bargains available and popping them right here as well as keeping note of any supply chain issues that may come up.

What to expect during Cyber Monday 2022

There’s very little time until Cyber Monday 2022 – in fact it’s just days away. Now's the time to start planning ahead to make sure you don’t miss out on the deals you want. Luckily, Cyber Monday often has a lot of deals rollover from Black Friday, but this is only if those deals happen to still have stock available. Still, this does give you a little leeway and time to think about what’s worth spending your hard-earned money on.

Discounts will be available across a variety of products, including devices such as laptops, TVs, appliances and consoles. As the Black Friday weekend is generally the biggest sales event of the year, it’s likely these gadgets will hit their lowest price during either Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

While there used to be a bit of a difference between what was on offer between the two days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday now generally offer up a lot of the same deals. Though, you can still find some fresh deals arriving on the Monday itself. If you’ve had your eyes on something that hasn’t had a discount across the weekend, it could be well worth checking back in on Cyber Monday. Retailers such as Amazon often keep some special deals specifically for the later date.

Cyber Monday officially only runs for one day, ending at 11.59pm AEDT on November 28 this year. However, ‘Cyber week sales’ are sometimes present, with some deals carrying on into the week following the Black Friday weekend.

When does Cyber Monday end?

Cyber Monday closes out the official Black Friday sales. As a one day event, Cyber Monday 2022 will typically end at 11.59 pm AEDT on November 28.

However, you’ll likely find a few deals rolling on into the week immediately following Cyber Monday, with some big ticket items often staying on sale until Tuesday in the following week.

Cyber Monday 2022: buying advice

How do I get the best Cyber Monday deals in 2022?

We’ll be rounding up all the best Cyber Monday deals right here so you can find them without shuffling through site after site. We’ll categorise each item so you can easily find the tech you’re after with our in-page navigation.

We have some additional tips to help you make the most out of the Cyber Monday sales so you can find the best deals on the tech you really want.

1. Check in early
Just like with Black Friday, to avoid disappointment we recommend checking for deals early on. However, not all deals will launch straight away on November 25, and there’ll likely be some flash sales on sites such as Amazon that pop up over the weekend that have limited time and quantity. A lot of deals will also continue through the weekend, so it definitely helps to check in on Saturday and Sunday as well.


2. Know what you’re looking for
It really pays off to know exactly what you want ahead of time. Having a general shopping list with a basic idea on what you’re after will save you time and likely money not just on Cyber Monday, but also during the entire Black Friday weekend. We recommend having a look at specs for laptops ahead of time on sites such as Dell, Lenovo and HP so you can get an idea of what might be offered during the Cyber Monday sales.


3. Be prepared to buy alternatives
Accompanying tip number two, if you can be flexible with your purchase you might be able to snag a deal on a hot ticket item that sold out prior. While this might not always be possible with gadgets such as consoles, devices such as laptops and TVs can often be found with similar or even the same specs between different brands. You might even save more if you’re brand-agnostic during the Cyber Monday sales.
