The Best Place to Buy Back to School Laptops
Now that it’s almost back to school, many parents are trying to respond to the question “When am I going to get a laptop”. While it’s clear that all kids need one these days, all parents really want to see if there are coupons available. Here are a couple of suggestions on where to get the best deal.
Best Buy is actually a great place to get deals for laptops. They have great selection and since most stores have Geek Squad, your kids can get computer support no matter where their college is, even if they are studying in Canada or Mexico.
Amazon is a good place because it has awesome customer support, so I always recommend it. Many people think of them as a books store, but I’m sure the computer you are looking at is available on their website.
Campus stores are great to buy a laptop because they offer incredible discounts. Why? For one, they buy in bulk and for two, computer companies know that many people stick with the brand they are familiar with, so what better place than to get you while you are still in college?
Overstock has everything you can think of. It may not sell the latest and greatest laptop but if you are willing to trade in a few megahertz of speed, it’s not a bad place to get your electronics.
I loved Circuit City. I don’t know why but they always had what I wanted so it was really sad to see them go out of business. Some people got really cool deals towards the end though. Hopefully someone will revive the brand.
I never knew about Fry’s Electronics until I came to the west coast. The warehouse like store is awesome because prices are usually a little cheaper. Just be careful because the salespeople work on commission and they try really hard to sell you extra insurance and protection that you don’t need.
Mom and pop computer stores pride themselves in services and relationships. It’s hard to compete nowadays because the prices at big retailers are just so low but those that are still alive have great prices, awesome service and unparalleled knowledge.
