Cut To The Chase With Cut-Price Computers And Tablets!

Got little Einsteins or studious seniors to get back to the classroom shortly? Gunning to hit refresh on your home office set-up? The Boxing Day sales are your perfect shot to tick off everyone’s essential computing tech – and claim those high-performance features that you thought were off the grid.

“For the best kid-proof devices that can handle anything, you want a lightweight laptop or tablet that’s easy to carry around but packed with perks such as mega memory, a lightning-fast 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor, and a powerful battery to last 6-8 hours between charges,” recommends Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Computers.

“Budget-friendly Chromebooks also make great Boxing Day deals because they run off Google’s Chrome OS operating system so you won’t need to pay for extras like storage devices, and they also fix all those panics over lost assignments by auto-saving everything to the cloud,” he adds.

Now to jazz up that home office! “Set your sights on a best-in-class new monitor with impressive 4K resolution,” tips Jason. “Not only will you have more room for windows, applications and anything else you’re working on, it will also double as a high-quality TV after you clock off.”
