Black Friday is this, which means great deals on notebooks from retailers like Best Buy, Wal-mart, Circuit City, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max and others.
Last year we saw laptops as cheap as $200 range, but there’s no telling how low retailers will go this year to get people in the doors for the kickoff of the holiday shopping season.
It’s very important that you examine each Black Friday notebook deal closely and to make sure it meets your needs and that it’s really worth the waiting in line for. We’ve put together a list of 15 Things to Consider Before Buying a Black Friday Notebook. There are extremely limited quantities of Black Friday notebooks at each store, making it very challenging to get the notebook you’re after.
This year the Black Friday deals are dominated by the Toshiba Satellite lines and the HP Pavilion series notebooks. The Pavilion G50 is especially prominent, with nearly every retailer selling some variation of it.
The Pavilion G50 is an entry-level 15.4 inch notebook that is not normally sold directly from HP.
Some of those reviewed are small laptops,...more than real netbooks.
