How to choose during the sale
- Start with the job — studies, coding, streaming, or a full WFH desk — then set a hard budget.
- Ignore inflated MRP stickers — judge the sale price against recent street prices when you can.
- Stack bank offers carefully — card discounts only help if the base price is already competitive.
- Read the listing — seller rating, return window, warranty, and installation slots for large appliances.
- Match ports and power — USB-C power delivery for laptops, HDMI count for monitors and TVs, energy rating for fridges.
