"ZDNET chooses deals based on the percentage of discount compared to the original price ($5 off a $20 item is just as good as $250 off a $1,000 item), how significant the discount is compared to pricing history, and whether our experts have tested and recommended the product. We also examine deals from a broader perspective, considering alternative options, unique use cases, stock availability, and existing customer reviews on websites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and Reddit. The best deals will save you a meaningful amount of money while providing a truly worthwhile product."
"ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter."
Deals are evaluated primarily by percentage discount relative to original price, with equal weight given to proportional savings across price points. Significance of the discount is measured against pricing history using established price comparison tools and trackers. Expert testing and recommendations factor into selections, alongside customer reviews from Amazon, Best Buy, and Reddit. Additional considerations include alternative product options, unique use cases, and stock availability. A minimum 20% discount is preferred, or inclusion if an item rarely goes on sale. Recommendations may combine testing, extensive research, comparison shopping, and customer feedback to identify meaningful savings on worthwhile tech gifts.
