What is Black Friday?
Black Friday has been a permanent fixture in the US for several years.
Every year, millions of Americans storm the shopping malls in the hope of getting the best bargains of the year.
In Germany, Apple released its Black Friday offers for German customers for the first time in 2006.
Since then, the day has firmly established itself in the German retail calendar.
On November 27, 2020 it will be that time again: Many retailers such as Amazon, Media Markt or Otto entice with discounts and special offers.
The shopping event marks the start of the Christmas business and will be expanded to include a whole week of discounts.
The shopping spectacle begins in the week before Black Friday with Cyber Week and ends on the following Monday, Cyber Monday.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday: Laptop Sizes - Choice of Purpose
To start with, you should decide what size your future laptop should be.
Especially small notebooks are useful for traveling and working on the go, for example.
They fit well in your pocket and are not too heavy to carry.
Experts recommend that laptops be at least 13 inches tall to protect your eyes and nerves.
However, if you often work for many hours at a time or use complex video or photo programs, the device should be a bit larger.
You can work comfortably on 14- or 15-inch screens for a long period of time without straining your eyes too much.
If you usually only use your laptop in one place, you can think about choosing a large model of up to 17 inches.
Weight is also relevant when choosing a notebook.
Particularly light notebooks such as the Mac Book Air from Apple are ideal business laptops for all those who travel a lot for work.
If the notebook is often in the same place, however, it can weigh a little more.
Heavier models are often characterized by a larger screen, a CD drive and multiple connections.
However, the trend is to reduce weight and omit hardware features.
Black Friday: Ultrabooks - Lightweight and Affordable
Particularly light and thin laptops that are equipped with an Intel processor are known as
ultrabooks
.
They have a long battery life and a strong performance.
It is also practical that you can easily switch from standby to active mode with ultrabooks.
Some models are so-called
phablets
.
Thanks to the detachable keyboard, these can be used as both a tablet and a notebook.
Of course, the price is also a decisive factor when buying a laptop.
Very cheap notebooks with rather low performance are available for less than 200 euros.
However, the user then has to compromise on processor performance and graphics.
When buying a cheap model, you should always make sure that the device has
at least 4 gigabytes of
RAM
.
Otherwise it will be difficult to use applications.
There are hardly any upper price limits when buying a laptop.
For example,
gaming notebooks
have to be equipped with a strong processor, a good graphics card and a lot of memory for a smooth gaming experience.
Of course, that has its price: Such notebooks often cost several thousand euros.
What you should know about Black Friday and Cyber Monday
In the days around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the internet is teeming with promising price promises and purchase requests.
However, as a consumer, it is important to carefully question the offers.
There is no guarantee that the desired model will be offered at an absolutely low price on Black Friday.
Comparison portals such as Idealo.de (like WELT, belongs to Axel Springer SE) help to compare product prices from different providers and to understand price fluctuations.
Vendors often try to persuade customers to buy with the offer periods expiring.
Consumer advocates warn against being put under pressure by such tricks.
So before each purchase, ask yourself whether you will really like to use the product or only buy it because of an alleged low price.
It can also be a good tactic to think about what to shop for before the bargain days.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the desired product will actually be reduced on Black Friday.
However, you can protect yourself against impulsive bad purchases with this tactic.
