Beware on Black Friday

There are some great Black Friday deals, but be aware of the three areas where you can be mislead, 

1) Special / Out dated models, some of the best discounts available end up on models that are produced only for a specific sale / event, or are models where features are no longer relevant or supported.  

This deal at Best Buy is a good example, Asus 14" Laptop.  This laptop is not sold anywhere else and uses components that are no longer in production.

2) Returns, take a look at the return policy that is provided.   Most often these policies are reasonable,   but take a look at Consumer Reports list for naughty or nice companies, some are downright predatory.

3) Warranties,   make sure you know what you are getting when you get a warranty.   Many companies now have some very disconcerting policies on fulfilling warranty service.
