Best technology deals for Black Friday & Cyber Monday
With Christmas fast approaching there will be plenty of people across the world taking advantage of the discounts offered by retailers during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events.
As with most sales it’s not easy to sort the wheat from the chaff, particularly when it comes to the technology sector.
Many companies use the events to shift items they’ve previously struggled to sell, meaning that what may appear to be a bargain is likely to be for products that have a low specification.

However, there are plenty of bargains to be had if you are prepared to spend time shopping around to syphon out the trash.
