I ran across this article on Deal News, a site whose motto is "Every Day is Black Friday". They took a middle-of-the-road laptop and did price comparisons during the year. They confirmed the best time to buy a laptop is: back to school time or August and September.
Other good times to purchase are November (black Friday) and April. Prices ranged from a high of $580 in July to below $500 in April.
So if you are contemplating a laptop purchase, get your credit card warmed up. Back to school time is just around the corner!
To Your Success,
