Consumers seeking laptops in time for Christmas, find that Black Friday ads are the best place to start their search. These slim computers have been steadily dropping in price for a decade. Laptops sometimes turn out to be better deals than desktops now days. Every retailer wants to get the most hype and the biggest line on the morning of Black Friday and because of this many department stores offer massive discounts while attempting to one up each other on laptop prices.
This could be the year that we see Black Friday laptops for $100, maybe even less. In addition to computers, accessories related to computers are expected to be available at rock bottom prices as well. Most consumers can get the whole package, the new laptop bag, antivirus software, and more for what they initially expected to pay for the laptop alone.
The biggest piece of advice for Black Friday shopping, when it comes to laptops, is not to forget about the smaller retailers. The average Black Friday shopper is going to begin their day at the store that offers the most single items that they are interested in. This is usually a large retail department store like WalMart, Target, or even Best Buy. Stores of this size often provide extra special deals for guests who arrive in the wee hours of the morning, this means the lines can be hundreds long at 4AM. But some of the stores offering the best deals on laptops are not the big retailers. Shops that have less to offer in the form of overall variety, like Staples and Office Depot, are more likely to have the best deals on computers and have a higher amount of stock per hundred customer. Depending on how bad you want a laptop and what your plans are, you may decide to start out at the smaller store, in order to score your laptop quickly, and then work your way to the bigger retailers.
Historically laptops made by Acer, Dell, and Toshiba boast the largest discounts during Black Friday. Getting a $200 or less laptop during the Black Friday sale shouldn’t be hard at all. It’s also important to keep an eye out on specials leading up to and directly following Black Friday. New Egg, Amazon, and other online retailers who offer computers often offer their best prices on the Monday following Black Friday, also known as Cyber Monday. Many big name shops, like Best Buy, have begun releasing deeply discounted laptops as early as late September. This year they have already been offering some laptops for as low as $300.00.
