The situation may be that you urgently need a piece of Hardware because the one you had is damaged, and that you need to buy it faster; In that case you will have to look at and pay the price for that part at that time. But if you're not in a hurry and can wait for the right time, you can save enough moneyeither buy a new PC or upgrade any parts of its computer.
Expect Black Friday, Cybermonday or Christmas
There are some specific days when most stores, and especially online stores, have a juicy suggestion that we can buy PCs or hardware parts at a reduced price. Among these increases, the most common are:
- Black Friday: last November (November 27, 2020).
- Cybermonday: Monday follows Black Friday (November 30, 2020).
- Christmas: between December 24 and 31.
Keep in mind that in most stores, this promotion is usually extended and started early, so that, for example, Christmas shopping is timely so you can donate on the 25th. In fact, Black Friday is already over «It's a dark church«, And promotions usually start from last Monday.
All of this means that, in general, from the last week of November until the new year (many stores extend the Christmas promotion until next Friday), it is one of the best times of the year to buy a new PC or any other piece of hardware. If you wait until these days, you will save money.
Look at past generations
As a general rule, where the manufacturer is important likely to introduce a new generation of products, often lowering the price of the previous generation to make the so-called "storage" of new products. At that time, they tend to incur significant reductions and you can save a lot as long as you have no desire to always have the latest hardware.
For example, when AMD introduced the new Threadripper 3000 processors, the Threadripper 2000 family experienced a price drop, so users who used that opportunity to make that purchase at that time saved a lot of money.
On the other hand, this also happens often when the manufacturer has already developed a new generation of products, but it happens at the hands of stores, who want to literally create space in their stores to ship new products and lower the previous price in an effort to eliminate them. If we listen and are lucky, we can find them at a price.
Watch the news
There are some situations where, rather than saving, we can avoid losing money. Remember when a series of floods in Thailand back in 2011, it destroyed the factories of the major manufacturers and made the price of these devices increase by exaggerating.
For example, news of the shortage of raw materials for DRAM products such as SSDs has recently surfaced, which means they are expected to increase their price by 40% throughout 2020. Look at these stories. , it might be a good time to buy a new SSD before the price increases.
