When looking for the lowest prices, remember to look at such things like shipping costs, warranty costs, and other extra fees. If you don’t necessarily need the latest gadgets, but just want something that has the features you are looking for, at a price you can afford, consider buying tech that has been refurbished. These are pretty much as good as new, and sell for a fraction of the cost of new gadgets. Sometimes, they are never actually used, except as display models, so you are getting a great gadget for an exceptionally low price. If you have laptops, tablets, etc. that you no longer need or use, why not sell them, and use the money to put toward new tech, For instance, there are websites where you can sell laptop computers and accessories, as well as other gadgets. The better the condition, the more money you are going to make.
Often, you will even find the new tech you are looking for on the same websites, and you can choose from new, used, and refurbished items. Again, you don’t need to get anything that is brand new. If you narrow your search down to older tech, you can find some pretty great deals. You just need to know what you are looking for, and know how to tell if it is any good, or if it is soon to be obsolete. Often, you can get some pretty great deals on older models, and they aren’t even going to necessarily be all that old. You may be able to get last year’s model for a greatly reduced price. There is the right time to shop, and the wrong time to shop. Learning when the best sales are is important when you want to upgrade your tech. For instance, did you know that Black Friday deals pretty much continue right until Christmas, Then, there are the after-Christmas sales. Find out when new tech is coming out, and just before the date, you will notice last year’s models going on sale. Often, you can save a lot of money simply by having the tech you already own repaired instead of replacing it. 100 to have it repaired, instead of several hundred dollars on a new device.
Read the effusive blog posting about it from Duke's Head of Technology here. And in conjunction with their partner Inception Visual who works with AT&T, the company is running tests with many AT&T clients. Of course, when it comes to the world of standard television technology, the forests of TVs are one of the fields that, as I noted above for several reasons, I just tend to avoid. That said, this year more than most, certain things did surprisingly stand out in TV Land. And what stood out most is what wasn't there. Last year, TV companies went to massive lengths trying to convince you that "curved screens" would make your TV-viewing lives oh-so much better. I explained at the same time that curved screens were largely a marketing gimmick. Well, reality seems to have caught up, and it was remarkable how few companies were pushing curved screens - at all. Some did display them, though without the fanfare. But at the huge LG booth, I didn't even see a single curved screen. There might have been a few, but if so they were buried amidst what else was there, and new. And what was new amongst most of the TV companies did stand out as valuable this year, unlike curved screens. First and foremost was the expansion of OLED screens. It wasn't long ago that OLED got introduced for its impressive high resolution, but it was so expensive that you only saw OLED screens on small devices, like high-end Smartphones. What a great idea! What on earth were you thinking,
