I'm getting a notebook computer as a graduation gift from my grandparents. They gave me the credit card #, and told me to purchase it anytime this summer. Now, I'm going on vacation to a very boring place, and would like a notebook computer to take with me. However, I know that I'm likely to get a better, cheaper buy the longer I wait. I was just going to hold off temptation... but Dell is offering a free cd writer and a free hard drive upgrade if you purchase before Thursday... ...in general, how much do prices depreciate over a 3 month period? Anyone know specifics about the next 3 months? As always, thanks for your help .
haven.. same situation here almost.. still trying to decide if i want a desktop or laptop for graduation though..
Depends on what new unnecessary thing is coming out. They're June, July, and August. Hope this helps. Hehe. Just buy it man. Dell has been on a tear lately giving 10% off hardware purchases. I'm sure there will be similar deals down the road. If you don't need a laptop now, don't buy it.
I think it just about always works the same: you can buy a little more muscle for the same amount of money a few months down the road. If you can live without it now, I would wait as long as I could. My next computer will be a laptop as well, although that will at least be several months from now--probably some time next year. I want a 15" screen, 256 MB RAM, minimum of 20 GB hard drive, DVD/CD-RW. I would like a Pentium 4 machine, but I can live without one. Even a Celeron system would meet my needs I suspect.
dude, give the credit card number!! i would wait and get a better deal when the college sales start at the end of summer
