Should you buy a laptop during Black Friday? Here's how to tell if the savings are really worth it
"With this in mind, consumers should be aware that inventory is often limited during the sales event, especially following Cyber Monday. For that reason, we suggest identifying the laptop (or better yet: a few laptops) you're interested in and start tracking its sale price early. We test dozens of laptops each year at ZDNET, and can help you figure out how to choose the right one during holiday sales. ( Find our picks for the best laptops overall here.)"
"If you're in the market for a new laptop, we comb through the sales and try to highlight the best ones relative to regular prices, highlighting them in our deals roundups. However, as with any other purchase, the same concerns apply to laptop shopping. You should ask yourself: What will you be using the laptop for? What's your budget? How long are you willing to wait for the right deal?"
Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically produce significant laptop price drops on both new and older models. Online retailers prioritize these sales as the last major holiday shopping event, often focusing on existing inventory before brands announce new products at year-end. Newer models from the past six months may appear with smaller discounts. Inventory frequently becomes limited during and after Cyber Monday. Buyers should identify their primary use case, set a budget, and decide how long to wait for the right deal. Track a few target models and compare sale prices to regular prices to determine true value.
