    Things like this take a while to finalize, so you’re good for now. Just wait until Black Friday to buy anything, since it’s so soon and lots of computer stuff goes on sale.

      FYI: companies will do 2 things to make black friday kinda suck these days

      1. Prices will go up before black friday so they can have an exagerated sale/discount.

      2. Some companies will make units specifically for black friday. Usually cheaper, less features, and sometimes less reliable.

      Figure out what you want now.

        Prices will go up before black friday

        It’s before Black Friday now :P

        Amazon show a “lowest price in 30 days” badge if the price is the lowest in the past 30 days, so companies that sell their products on Amazon will sometimes raise the price 30 days before Black Friday.

        Some companies will make units specifically for black friday. Usually cheaper, less features, and sometimes less reliable.

        This has always been the case. Same with outlets - some items at outlet stores are specifically made to be sold at the outlet.
