Bargain Moose

The Source has been sending out some major deals on laptops lately, and with the newest wave I thought it time to share them with you:

• Half Price Laptop Blowout Special

The Half Price Laptop Blowout special has laptops, for half price! You can get mighty laptops like this Toshiba with 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GIG hard drive for $399! It is a demo laptop but comes with full warranty. This is a 4 day ONLY sale, and ends August 31, 2010.

Note: With the purchase of any demo laptop you can get a netbook for $99.

• Back to School Computer Blowout

This sale involves regular laptops discounted up to $250. Check out the left side panel for your categories. I liked the 5 Laptops Under $500 category, some amazing deals in there!

Note: Between now and September 8, 2010 you can win what you buy when you purchase any item with the “WEB FIND” icon next to it, up to $1,000.00. One draw per week.

As you can see, some interesting deals if you are in the market for a new laptop.

So this is a cool little offer from Lenovo, and if I wasn’t such a little Mac-y, I might consider it because they are sporting some serious discounts! This time they are advertising ‘employee grade discounts,’ and we all know employees get the good stuff, right?

But really, this is pretty decent. With a ThinkPad T series configuration over $1,350+ you can use the 30% off coupon to bring his price way down. Any thinkpad T that is under that price, you can still use a swank 25% off to get a pretty good deal.

• Discount: 25% off or 30% off (if configuration over $1,350)
• Coupon code: CAPTSERIESHOTDEAL
• Expires: August 29, 2010

What does that look like? Simple.

Take the basic Thinkpad T510. Original price of $1,439.00. On sale for $1,139.00. With coupon: $854.25

Take the basic Thinkpad T410. Original price $1,292.00. On sale for $999.00. With coupon: $749.25

Customize your package above $1,350 and see 30% come off instead of 25%. That simple. (1350 x .70 = 945) That would be $945 for a customized $1,350 package. Isn’t that sweet?

Free standard shipping and handling!

So I didn’t think I was going to post about this because Dell often has 48 hour sales, but after looking through their sale inventory I couldn’t resist! First, the basics: Dell is having a 48 hour sale, make that two 48 hour sales.

• Round 1 ends on August 18 @ 6am ET.
• Round 2 ends on August 20 @ 6am ET.

Items currently in the links below will CHANGE for round 2. So get them while you can!

The tipping point for me posting this deal was this: Aluratek Libre eBook Reader PRO – White ~ Originally $169.99 Now: $99.99. You save $70 off an eReader! I looked this reader up on Amazon.ca and it is on there for $169 and they say list price is $210 (compared manufacturer part # to get the right eReader). It comes preloaded with 100 classic books. Here is a review off of Dell’s website:

Much better then the more expensive ones from the competition, and MANY more features. Supports more eBook formats, supports mp3 files so you can listen to your own music while reading, comes with a 2gb card with some decent books (all classics). Only thing missing is a back-light, it’s hard to read in the dark, but in sunlight, or by a night lamp, I have no problems. Also has several font sizes if you have eye problems, and very easy to use, I never even had to look at the manual. (4/5 stars)

So this is why I posted this. I couldn’t resist such a fabulous offer! If anyone gets one, let me know!

There are also other great deals like an Inspiron 15, usually a starting price of $629 marked down to $399.. an instant savings of $230! That is a fantastic price for a full sized laptop.

Check it out! Dell is doing good stuff!

This is the 5th day of the daily deals from Dell Canada, in which they are offering special deals on various electronics and computers. Each day, they are showing about 6 or 7 different items, so it is worth checking back every day to see if there is a good offer for you.

I was looking for a deal on some external computer storage for my sister (an external hard drive to those techies out there). I’ve spotted this terrabyte hard drive on Newegg, which I think is worth a post.

• Click here to buy the Samsung hard drive @ Newegg Canada

It’s for the SAMSUNG STORY Station 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive, and it is priced at $109.99. Now there are other hard drives deals on the Newegg Canada website, but the free shipping on this particular model makes it a great price overall.

A few people have left reviews on the Newegg site, and they seem to be pretty positive overall.

For those of you who are not techie minded at all, this is simply some external storage for the files on your computer. If you have lots of important work files or pictures on your home computer, I highly recommend an external hard drive, so you can make backups every so often. I have years of digital photos on my computer, and I regularly make copies onto my external hard drive, as I would hate to think of losing them all.

This is a NCIX coupon code which gets you discounted shipping from their website. Here are the details:

I did it on a test order, and it knocked $7 discount off my shopping cart. The standard shipping fee is $10, so the NCIX coupon code brings it down to only $3 – not too bad.

In case you get a bit confused like I was, the slot for the coupon code is at the top right of your shopping cart, before you enter all your payment details.
