Ask HN: What do you plan to get this Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

3 pointssiddharthgoel882y ago6 comments

I maintain a list of items that I plan in advance to buy on Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Thanksgiving. I am interested to know what are the other popular valuable stuff people get at good price during these yearly sales. Also do you follow any page for it?

Example this time I plan to buy these things.

1. Software Licenses

  * Alfred5 Powerpack
  * TablePlus License
  * Beyond Compare License

2. Items

  * Herman Miller Aeron (This is a chair for my office space)
  * Robot Cleaner

Flash and RAM IC prices are still very low, but probably bottomed out. If y'all are considering an SSD or a memory upgrade, between now and cyber monday is the time.

I am trying to buy a gaming PC. How do you recommend I buy it during cyber Monday sale ? Any recommended sites and specs. I am trying to get this play MSFS

Keep an eye on Slickdeals: https://slickdeals.net/computer-deals/

And use PCPart picker to sort categories you want by price, price/GB or whatever: https://pcpartpicker.com/

This goes double if you are building the desktop piece by piece. And if thats the case, I just finished a 3090 ITX build I extensively researched, so I can maybe point you to a case and stuff that will fit inside.
