It seems like the pre- and after-Christmas sales just get better and
better all the time. That means after Christmas is a good time to snatch
up the computers you were hoping Santa Claus would bring you. There are
deals out all over the place after Christmas on every type of computer
you’re looking for, whether it’s a PC, Apple, or even a tablet.
The stores need to clear out their old stock to prepare for the glut of
new items for 2013; this includes both in-store and online. Either way,
that computer you’ve been looking for is waiting for you, and it’s
probably cheaper than it was a few months ago. It’s a great time to use
that gift card you received, even if it won’t cover the full price.
1. Amazon.com
You can never go wrong with looking for any type of a deal at
Amazon.com. It’s always the first place I look online. They seem to
literally have everything. This season they’re offering up deals on
Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Samsung, Coby, Toshiba, Acer, HP, Verizon, and ASUS
laptops, desktop computers, and tablets. You can get some of these
computers for up to $500 off.
2. DealNews.com
DealNews.com has the tagline of “Where every day is Black Friday.”
They’re always showing deals all year long, and the day after Christmas
promises great deals. They’re offering all the major brands with good
deals. The lowest-priced laptops include the ASUS for $260 and Toshiba
and Lenovo for $270. It’s even better than Black Friday, because you’re
shopping for yourself and not for something to wrap and put under the
tree for someone else.
3. Retailmenot.com
RetailMeNot.com has been offering coupon codes for all your favorite
retailers, such as Toshiba, Dell, Best Buy, AT&T, etc., for
Christmas shopping, and many of those codes are valid through the end of
the year and into January. One of these deals is for AT&T, offering
$100 off any tablet, plus free shipping. It could be a way to finally
get your hands on that iPad. Or maybe you want to get 50% off that
iPhone 5 or $475 off a custom Qosmio gaming laptop. Those deals are hard
to pass up.
4. Apple.com
If you don’t need to be the first owner of an Apple computer, you can
check out their refurbished deals that are offered all year long. I’ve
gotten refurbished MacBooks and iPods, and you would never know the
difference, that it was previously owned by someone else. Additionally,
you still get the standard one-year warranty, along with a discounted
price. They also have refurbished
iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs. Check back often, as they restock often.

5. Bestbuy.com
Of course Best Buy is always a great place to
shop for computer deals, whether you go to the store locally or shop
online. This is many times where I check for a deal right after I try
Amazon. Some items are available only online, and some are available
only at the store. The site can check if the item you are interested in
is available at your local store. They have great deals throughout
December, and it only continues.
There’s no need to do without if
Santa wasn’t particularly good to you this year. There’s no shame in
just buying it yourself, especially if it’s a big-ticket item like a
computer or a tablet. Start shopping the deals and find the one you’ve
been waiting for all year long.
