Apple
As usual, Apple has so far been silent about its annual in-store and online Black Friday specials. As far as predictions, though, the general consensus is that it's better to buy Apple products from resellers if you want the best deals. The Apple Store usually only offers the following deals.- 5-10% off anything
- Free shipping on online orders
If you want to get an early start and don't mind refurbished products, the Apple Store is offering $80 to $130 off the original price on refurbished iPad Minis. That's all we know for now, but we'll be updating as more details come out.
Microsoft
As with Apple, Microsoft has yet to officially release any information on Black Friday sales, but it's predicted that the Surface 1 and Surface Pro 1 will be some of the best tablet deals around in 2013.Earlier this year, the 32GB Surface 1 with Windows RT was temporarily sold for $314 (it's currently $349.00), so a lot of people think that price will probably come back for Black Friday. As for the 64GB Surface Pro 1, it's already been discounted down to $699.00 with the Surface Pro 2 out now, so don't expect much there.
Last year, Microsoft only offered small discounts on the Touch or Type Cover when purchased with a Surface, so expect that deal to pop back up.
Amazon
Amazon started early on November 1st with a different set of deals each week, and with two Deals of the Day every day, until December 22nd. The daily specials are pretty heavily discounted, but you'll have to remember to check the site daily to find out what they are. Here are some of the other deals on electronics:- 20% off tablets, laptops, streaming media players, and unlocked phones
- 30% off HDTVs, Bluetooth speakers, digital cameras, and portable GPS units
- 40% off Xbox 360 games and home theater systems
- 50% off headphones, flash memory, and car electronics
