Where to look at the best prices of the year for gadgets

Marketers have announced Black Friday week. If you've been staring at a device for a long time, these days are the best moment of the year to re-comb the Internet for tasty discounts. Unlike the Chinese with AliExpress, Americans in terms of pricing, as a rule, are much more decent - and discounts on popular products here are quite real. Another thing is that really impressive offers end pretty quickly, so shopping these days is almost a sport, not household chores.

Fortunately, buyers from Russia have certain advantages. Discounts at most online stores start at 6 a.m. East Coast. Most Americans are still sleeping at this time, but in Russia it is just the height of the day, and you can choose what interests you with a fresh mind.

In this review: current discounts on Apple, Samsung, Microsoft equipment and other offers that can save up to 40 thousand rubles.

Apple

On its own site in America, the company distributes gift cards for $ 200, until Monday. But this site does not like buyers from Russia, and often does not even take orders for addresses of intermediaries. Therefore, the best option is to take its devices from Amazon, eBay and Walmart, which with discounts on them this day attract customers to their stores.

Here are the best deals (subject to change during the day):

• Apple AirPods with a charging case on Amazon for $ 129 instead of $ 159. In rubles it is 8250, in Apple Russia it costs 13,490. If they buy it out, Walmart has the same offer.

• B&H Apple Watch Series 3 GPS for $ 189 (12 thousand rubles). The discount is not very big, but the price at B&H was already the best in the USA.

• 2017 Apple MacBook Air from Amazon for $ 699 instead of $ 999. This is 45 thousand rubles. In Russia, this is sold for 60 thousand.

• Apple iPad 10.2 " , the latest model, for $ 249 instead of $ 329. This is 16 thousand rubles, in Russia Apple costs from 28 thousand rubles. A version with 128 GB of memory is also sold there at an even greater discount. At the same prices, the new iPad is also available Walmart - the store is trying not to lose to its main competitor.

Samsung

On its official website and at Amazon in America, Samsung offers enough unlocked devices, and at attractive prices. Their cost “before” is frankly overstated in a couple of cases, but prices lower than “after” for new ones cannot be found anywhere else.

• Galaxy S10e for $ 550 instead of $ 750. This is 35,200 rubles, in Russia it costs from 45,990 rubles.

Lenovo

It would seem that this is a Chinese company, but in America, for some reason, prices are much lower than in Russia, especially in the days of emergency. For some reason, the “up” cost, like Samsung, is often overstated to new heights, although the discount then goes quite up to date.

• IdeaPad S540 14 "Touch for $ 599 instead of $ 930.

• ThinkPad T490S for $ 999 (64 thousand rubles) instead of $ 2229 (who are they cheating on here? Lenovo costs 93.5 thousand rubles in Russia).

• ThinkPad E490 for $ 599 instead of $ 1090. In Russia with such characteristics costs 45-55 thousand rubles. The discount began on Thanksgiving, and the model with the Full HD screen, unfortunately, has already been dismantled.

Finally, a small life hack: to study price tags in stores was more convenient, you can use the Honey extension for Chrome , which not only shows you the history of price changes, but also automatically searches and enters all promo codes known to it. It works on thousands of sites, not just American ones. It is used by 19 million customers (recently the company was bought by PayPal for $ 4 billion).

Well, delivering your purchases is most convenient with Pochtoy.com - your package will arrive in Russia in 4-8 days, and it costs from $ 12.
