Black Friday is almost here! It's the day that officially marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Shoppers will line up in front of stores at the crack of dark to be the first to take advantage of crazy deals. Many online retailers like Amazon have begun posting special "Black Friday" offers almost a week before Thanksgiving.
If you have someone on your gift list with an interest in electronics, you may be privy to the year's most incredible deals. Wherever you shop, it's still important to walk in armed with the knowledge to shop wisely. For your benefit, we've assembled some important tips for shopping for this year's hottest tech.
Netbooks
Netbooks are already an amazing new low-cost solution for portable computing. Many retailers will want to draw in consumers who passed up the back-to-school deals just a couple months ago. Some stores are offering netbooks for under $150!
A spare netbook AC adapter couldn't hurt either.
A word of caution: Beware of deals that are too good to be true. Some netbooks that are closer to the $100 mark will be offered at places like Kmart. However, these are poor quality netbooks that run Windows CE. For just $50 more, you can get a better netbook that runs either Windows XP or the new Windows 7.
Windows 7
Speaking of Windows 7, this is the ultimate PC gift that keeps on giving! Microsoft's latest version of Windows has been receiving exemplary reviews since its release in October.
If you'd like to spread the joy of Windows 7 with someone you love for Christmas, we'd love to help! Installing an operating system can be tricky; especially for older family members or anyone unsure about their computer savvy.
Triangle Laptops performs professional Windows 7 installation for customers who would prefer to trust the task with experienced hands. All versions of Windows 7 are available and we offer additional benefits with our services. Contact us for more information!
HDTVs
With the end of the football season approaching, now is the time to strike for viewing it in beautiful high-definition! A big-screen HDTV is the perfect center piece to a Superbowl party!
An added bonus to these HDTVs is that they also expand upon your PC experience. HDTVs actually double as computer monitors. For most laptop or desktop PCs, all you need is to connect the video output into the HDTVs input. Older laptops may have either an S-video or external VGA port that works perfectly. Newer models of PCs with advanced video cards may have either DVI or HDMI ports.
Once your PC is connected (here's our tips for how), you're able to use your HDTV to carry out tasks or surf the web from the comfort of your living room couch. You can also stream video from sites like Hulu, watch other video files, or play video games loaded on your computer, turning your HDTV into the ultimate media center!
Accessories
Whatever your gift agenda, making sure you've picked up the necessary accessories could be the linch pin of achieving the full holiday experience. After all, what fun is it to receive an awesome new toy if you aren't equipped to play with it?
As always, Triangle Laptops offers the most key components for your computers and other electronics. This includes the most crucial parts, such as AC adapters and batteries, but also important peripherals like external drives and docking stations. We even offer video game accessories to maximize your gaming experience.
