Laptop Deals: Why Right Now Is One Of The Best Times To Get One

If you are looking for a laptop deal, now would be a good time to get one, according to a report from the price predicting site Decide.com.

According to Decide, there are three particular times of the year when laptop prices tend to be at their lowest.

One is right now, June and July.

The second time is right – after – everyone heads back to school, late September.

And the third time mentioned, and what they consider the “best” time for the lowest laptop prices, is in the midst of the busy holiday shopping season – December.

Decide’s report says that the average price of laptops dip about 10% during June/July and late September, and about 20% in December.

Decide spokeswoman Shauna Causey told CP today that Decide.com does take sales, such as the current July 4th laptop sales, into consideration when computing price predictions.

There are quite a few laptops included in July 4th sales right now.
