This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2025

With the second day of Cyber Week now over, the clock is running out on the biggest online retail week of the year. Fortunately, you’ve got some time left to find what you’re looking for at deep discounts. A myriad of desktop PCs, as well as components like RAM, solid-state-drives, mice, keyboards, CPUs, and graphics cards are still on sale at the best prices you’ll see until the start of the new year, but with many shoppers doing all their buying online now, you better get moving if you want your stuff to arrive before Christmas (or even before 2021).

With all these deals, it might be time to finally build a new PC if you’ve been thinking about it but needed an extra push. Don’t twiddle your thumbs any longer: Cyber Week deals go fast, especially on PC components like RAM and new CPUs, and the pressure’s on now that only a few days remain until Cyber Week ends, too. Looking for something more portable? We’ve rounded up all the best extended Cyber Week laptop deals, along with the best still-available Cyber Week gaming laptop deals.

How to choose a PC

Choosing a PC is a big undertaking. There’s a lot to take in and consider before you hit that buy button. We’ve already checked out the best desktop computers, the best all-in-one computers, and the best gaming desktops, but we’ve also got some great general advice for things to look for before making your purchase.

The first place to start is to consider is what your budget is. It’s possible to spend only a few hundred bucks or to spend thousands of dollars. You really need to hone in on that budget so you get the best bang for your buck.

It’s also important to think about how you plan on using your PC. As our guides explain above, there are lots of different reasons why you might want a PC. You may just want a general desktop PC which is where a Dell setup is usually a good bet, but you might also want a gaming PC which is where brands like Alienware and Asus are great options. Alternatively, you may have limited space and need an all-in-one unit so that the PC is built within the monitor. Don’t be tempted to buy something that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, simply because it was offered at a good price.

When buying a PC, look out for accessories. Some sale items will bundle in accessories like keyboards and mice but not all retailers will. When budgeting, plan ahead and don’t end up overspending if you can’t afford to. Shop around for the best offers here, too.

Remember — there’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to buying the right PC for you.

AI agents want to handle more of your life, including your money, but US banks are drawing a line when these AI assistants try to move funds on your behalf. Charles Schwab and JPMorgan Chase are now restricting outside AI agents from taking financial actions, citing security risks and unanswered questions about who takes responsibility when things go wrong.

Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster told Bloomberg that Schwab is actively blocking unauthorized AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from moving client money. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon made a similar call this week, so this isn't just one bank being cautious.

Imagine asking your assistant to finish a task, only to find out it paid for it with someone else's money. That's basically what happened, according to OpenAI's incident report. The incident happened on June 26 and involved an internal research model from the GPT-5.6 Sol family.

Apparently, the AI agent ran out of cryptocurrency while trying to finish a coding task. So it completed the task in a way nobody approved.
