hey everyone Dan here with Elena and it is the second
part of the consumer holiday known as Cyber Monday maybe you missed out on
Black Friday deals maybe you waited on something and then
it passed by because you thought something would be better today yep
so real quick how does it compare so in my opinion Cyber Monday is not as good
as Black Friday especially because pretty much all ice shopping is done
online now for Black Friday so there's not that distinction between having to
go to a store to get good deals so you didn't camp out don't can't be mad oh I
feel like the only thing that's cuoco worth camping out before would be those
crazy cheap TV oh I watched I had watched on Twitter all the fighting yes
seriously oh wow yeah kiss like a 43 inch TV for like $100 I mean if you want
it for like a second bedroom or guest room kind of thing like that's a really
cheap way to get it but otherwise I would just rather stay home in my
pajamas and you know it's a much easier and I feel like especially this is the
first year I got installed like the Amazon app so it's a little bit easier
to like kind of browse from my phone whereas before I felt like I needed a PC
but this year I felt a little bit more mobile friendly maybe yes so I think
it's every passing year shopping online gets easier and easier hmm for Black
Friday and as a result it makes Cyber Monday look really quiet amazing so
you're not that excited about today or are you there's a couple of good things
out there but on the whole I feel like most of the really good deals have you
know dried up there's a lot fewer a number a lot of the deals that have
continued into today are like your Google whole minions same deal it's just
kind of pushed and pushed further and like you know the ones that are a
product of Amazon and Coco fighting it out yeah either for your television or
to listen to your every word yeah so before you jump into the exact deals do
you think that today is like the last day of the deals
or are these deals gonna kind of continue throughout the week even longer
you know what I mean um I don't think it means that you won't find any good deals
between now and Christmas that's usually the cutoff for when all this really ends
yeah but they become a lot more you know far and few between and you really have
no way of knowing which of the things on your list are going to actually come up
yeah whereas black fight is a great time for
that because just so much goes on sale the chances of something you want going
on sale are very high yeah and then just diminishes so it's very step down to
Cyber Monday like I think our Black Friday deals list huh was you know it
was gigantic and the Cyber Monday list that I compiled is maybe a third or 40%
of that sighs okay okay so what are the most exciting deals today okay so I mean
obviously if you live near a micro Center and you miss all the CPU deals
and the motherboard bundle discount on top of that it's still ongoing you're in
luck stock has really diminished though so it
really is gonna be luck of the draw to see if your nearest location still has
things in stock do you think that they will like they get a shit in because
it's Monday in the morning and they've resupplied or is it like this is they've
cleared out from the weekend good luck oh I don't think they're gonna
get stuff back in stock so this is just like if they had anything left over from
the weekend then yeah I mean maybe this second gen rise in parts there's perhaps
a possibility of that but I mean for example the 1800 X is pretty much sold
out everywhere that was at that drop a $200 over the weekend
yeah and pretty much every location I checked my spot checked like maybe five
of the you know number stores I think and it just says sold at this location
sold at this location yeah so there are people out there hungry for you know
where's in threads yeah so I noticed also a 2700 X I think sale that is one
of the best deals out there however I just was looking this morning on I think
it was slick deals Oh pop on my alerts that there is a bundle deal
where you can get a 2700 X plus a motherboard an X 470 board for 330 which
is a really good price it comes very close make a free motherboard almost
basically right yeah yeah so I think Micro Center selling for 250 right now
well no just the CPU okay okay and then you get a motherboard and I think an X
470 board will probably run you a little higher so that's a really great deal if
you can grab that a new hmm you think what else is really good they still have
their 1700 X 4/3 oh sorry $130 none of the other retailers are really matching
that so again if you if you're looking to upgrade your CP oh you couldn't do it
over the weekend because you were out of town or busy or whatever yeah you can
still do it now so what if they're not near Micra Micro Center what other deals
can people be looking forward to right now it's a little all over the board
like I have an immediate suggestion at Newegg or Amazon counter it cuz that's
that's the difference really / - every Monday I'm Black Friday you start seeing
less of that price matching willingness to duke it out instead there is a really
great budget monitor deal at Best Buy that I like so there's a there's a dull
one going around right now it's like 27 inches 1080p 75 Hertz refresh rate and
free sync support I'm PS panel last year was $100 so this year I was rather cool
in the fact that it's 120 this year at most retailers but this lg monitor is a
24 inch 1080p IPS monitor with a 75 Hertz refresh rate and free sync so
basically a similar impanel but smaller and I actually like this better because
one it's cheaper it's 110 and it's gonna seem more pixel dense because it's 24
inches instead of 27 you have to look as far so if you're competitive gamer yeah
you know you wanted to be even smaller screen so this one's one of my top picks
that's available at Best Buy right now see other PC components that I like if
you're in the market for an RT X 2070 I think it's a blower style or blower
style cooler so keep that in mind but Newegg has a deal it's four hundred and
eighty dollars and it comes with a digital code for battlefield 5 ok so
that's a pretty good price and you don't have to fill out an email and rebates
you don't you just check it out you've got the deal write them in there that is
good yeah I know that there was a battle between you and Gordon on the 1080 1080
a verses 28 and does this deal change anything in your opinion well no it's a
20 70 so that's like a different ballpark okay okay and it's not a bad
price if you're willing to go with a high-end enthusiast part mm-hmm still
more pricey than most people probably want to spend yes yeah that's true
see in terms of other expensive things there's a TCL 65 inch TV it's their 6
Series which is really popular yeah they're popular colors yeah and the HDR
quality yeah I guess some people don't like it because I guess the quality
isn't consistent from panel to panel so I think you sometimes I have to try to
get like try yeah right a little bit is it 55 inch or the 65 65 interesting
hundred dollars I can I think how much is it regularly I think like maybe 11 or
1,200 oh no it's 9 it's 980 nice a minute MSRP yeah cuz I
bought that one last year and I was really excited for I recommend that TV I
mean because at that price point you can't get like you're either gonna get
you know LCD or you're gonna step up a lot and go LED but then you're starting
to spend d-mail fifteen hundred two thousand dollars at least and you can
still spend that much on an LED TV so I figured you know just get a good decent
one and that's why I was island so you know I spent my own money on it you know
when he came out I was like right when they came out yeah eight hundred dollars
I would say it's not like a fire sale where you feel the face to get to it but
it is a very respectable price so if you're in the market for a TV of that
size and you kind of want to you know hit the sweet spot between quality and
budget that's a really good spot to settle yeah
and it's a good TV and I feel like at least is like Black Friday Cyber Monday
I'm on the side of like you wait for it just to save some money it's like you
know are you not gonna if you're going to just get deals that's gonna like blow
everyone tell everyone about like how great of a deal you got I mean there
there is that right a little bit but I go with the strategy hey if I save you
know 15% off all these purchases that adds up to what adds up to a lot of
money yeah um that actually happened to me this weekend so Black Friday there
was an amazing deal at B&H you could get a 750 watt Gold modular PSU no power
supply $30 after mail-in rebate uh-huh I don't need it but you bought it I bought
it but the thing is is that when I say I don't need it it's not that I bought it
like I'll never use it you know it's just that this will help me with some
upgrades and I can like shuffle parts around it wasn't ice and they
anticipated but I'll still save money versus when I actually planned to do it
would you know it later yeah and so the money I'm saving is you know
worse jumping a little early I mean that's a good deal I will say because
like I bought a bunch of computer parts and see like on premise on prime day I
had bought an SSD mmm-hmm a 2 terabyte SSD and that was like $300 so it's a
good deal then yes but now it's like that's just like the regular price I'm
gonna haven't even used it cuz I've been waiting I know it's something I like
like so but not like me at least the PSU you're probably not going to as you know
the pricing is not gonna get better exactly now that was a true Black Friday
sale yeah the technology doesn't really change that much so for people who are
who are buying a stock for the future you know learn from me it's like you for
you unless you're gonna use it right away maybe wait unless you're gonna
unless you know it's so good that's not going to go obsolete yeah but
speaking to 15% yeah target is actually doing a 15% off their entire site with
some exceptions so like Apple is excluded fitbit's excluded kind of like
game consoles a few things we have the list up on PC world but you can put an
additional 15% off their existing prices and at first I thought that they were
gonna take most of their site off of the sale and they were just gonna stick to
within their circular and then just have the 15% as a side and I wasn't impressed
by that but it turns out that they kept some of their sale pricing from Black
Friday so like Google whole Mini is $25 on the site right now which is a sale
price yeah you can still take another 15% off of that okay so that's one of
the best places to get that right now that actually beats Black Friday that's
a very rare instance today it beating Black Friday and do that is that like
anything weird with them where you have to like sign up first time special I got
an AK in the cart you don't have to even put in a code you just add stuff to your
cart go to checkout and you'll see the discount automatically so get some
underwear get some socks Kevin's gonna like Google Chrome Mini
boy yeah something for your feet something yeah neck and then something
to listen to you all ours is it all mine only in store
I believe it's online only because the cyber monday okay yeah I guess that
would make sense cybron but Micah Center I sure the Micro
Center yesterday bill aware I know but just this is target being true to the
spirit of Cyber Monday okay let's see I'll finish out with we have some more
pics on on our side and PC roll comm me you know roundup bliss yeah I mean the
last one I want to close out with is a pair of true wireless earphones
okay so there's the Bang & Olufsen vo play e8 which our sister site Macworld
named as their top pick for you know the best shoe wireless earbuds to get for
someone who's an audiophile okay normally it's three hundred its two
hundred right now I believe it Best Buy you just double check that real quick so
still a little bit more than I air pods air pots are like 150 yeah 160 but like
this is for somebody who really appreciates the little nuances
you know particular song or being able to hear like those little details
I think I'm partially deaf right now so that would not be me okay but even for
$200 it's you know it's a solid discount that isn't in this cock and I am this
year during Cyber Monday and Black Friday in particular I'm seeing the
prices on this how technology start to go down which is a good sign for next
year I think next year we'll start to see it actually hit a more affordable
range for you know for that kind of stuff for that kind of stuff yeah yeah
maybe air pods - the best deal I saw was Black Friday at new a cobalt places they
had a $20 discount on air pods which for air paws is actually quite good because
they never go on sale although you can I think it's sort of like we know lights
off if you go to Costco really yeah everything air pods yeah that's why any
any day deal yeah so where can we find all the updated deals if they so if you
go to PC real calm there's we have two articles up right now one is highly
curated just like the very top picks and that was done by one of our writers
Jared Newman and then there's my article which is you know all the best tech
deals these articles better I'm not gonna throw that out there just wanted
to see how you attract you're not gonna ever admit to it publicly if you're a
decent human being okay I love you both equally yeah I love you both equitably
okay anyway thanks for joining me Daniel yeah thanks everyone
this closes out our series of holiday shopping videos for this weekend yeah
yeah I'm gonna take a nap and I'll do I will do I I plan on doing I think a
build that women yeah by all the things I bought a lot of stuff yeah yeah that's
good stuff I was helping you in the background I know she's she was here to
Raleigh when Troy and I had it correct I could have saved a couple dollars
hearing there but again like I said you know I I don't want to miss out on a
deal because I'm like waiting for a better deal yeah so I'm like you know
I'll take this 20 sure there's a chance something better
but you know I might miss that one too so yeah all right thank you everyone and
we'll see you next time
