Smart shoppers know that to every thing there is a season. Buy certain goods at the right time of year and you can enjoy substantial savings. There are three times of year when you can get a great deal on a laptop computer and now is one of those times! Previous-generation laptop models usually are marked down 30% to 40% as the annual Japanese manufacturing cycle comes to an end.  

Other great times to shop if this month money is already spent on April vacation? Both new and older laptops are discounted 30% or more during back-to-school sales in August and September. And prices fall again around Thanksgiving during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
