Holiday Hardware Shopping

#1 Post by ronbo613 » Fri Dec 15, 2006 10:57 am

Do you think the best deals for computer related hardware are with the before Christmas sales or after Christmas sales?

Hard to say, but your selection will be better before Christmas. I imagine a month or two after Christmas the new hardware will be showing up, so if you want "bleeding edge", then you should probably wait.

As a small business owner, this is the time of year to upgrade or purchase items for the business to include them in the current tax year. Anytime before 12/31 would be good, but I still want to get the best deal.

For Lenovo, the best time is right now, through http://usa.visa.com/ (thanks jamse). Click on "personal" and then choose "Lenovo". You get employee pricing between now and Dec 20. I bought a battery with this discount.
