If you’re considering buying a new laptop or tablet — or even a refurbished one — Black Friday and Cyber Monday feature numerous bargains and deals right now.
We’ve rounded up some of the best deals you’ll find online from Amazon and other retailers.
When Is The Best Time To Buy A Laptop Or Tablet?
The best time to buy a laptop is right now! One deal you don’t want to miss is the Amazon Fire 10 tablet, which is on sale!
Here are three places to look to save money on laptops and tablets:
1. Buy Refurbished Laptops Online
Many of the top retailers sell refurbished laptops, including Walmart and Amazon. Here are some cheap laptops I found on Amazon:
- 15.6-inch screen Acer Chromebook
- 14-inch Elitebook Laptop
- Acer Aspire Laptop
- 14.1-inch display Dell Latitude
- 14-inch Samsung Chromebook
- ASUS VivoBook
The good thing about Amazon is that they typically offer a 90-day warranty.
2. Try The Pawn Shop
If you haven’t been to the pawn shop in a while, you may be surprised to find that they may have quite a stockpile of electronics, including laptops.
Contrary to popular belief, many pawn shops today provide you with a warranty on your purchase, usually for 30 days. That’s pretty decent protection for a used item.
3. Buy From Deals Websites
If you want to get some electronics for cheap, the #1 place is on deals websites. Here are some of my favorites:
4. Buy A Display Model
You can save more money on laptops and other electronics, if you opt for the floor model or display model inside the store.
Many stores have laptops they’ve had on display for a while up for sale. Ask the store manager if it’s available for purchase.
5. Opt For A Bare-Bones Model
Another way to save on a laptop is to choose one that doesn’t have a lot of upgraded features. If you buy electronics with all the bells and whistles, you’re going to spend double or triple the cost of a base model.
Last Words
The most important way to save money on laptops and electronics in general is to comparison shop. It’s the only way to know that you’ve gotten the best price!
If you can’t find some cheap laptops on those websites or you know of other sites with electronics for less, please let us know in the comments.
